to meet an expected demand for Me- 

 morial day. The general report is that 

 such demand as materialized was satis- 

 fied with artificial poppies. 



New ferns have come, to relieve the 

 shortage and bring down the price. 



Various Notes. 



Taking it as a whole, the local florists 

 who do bedding out never had a better 

 season. Up to Memorial day they had 

 all they could do and ran short of stock. 

 Now the late geraniums are beginning 

 to bloom and good stock again is avail- 

 able. The demand has not ceased. 



The Gould Co., of Onarga, brought in 

 its fourth peony farm last week, the 

 cut there in previous seasons having 

 been negligible. This is the Oconomo- 

 woc place. The Goulds now begin cut- 

 ting peonies at Halls, Tenn., in the last 

 week of April or first days of May. In 

 early May they cut a crop at Grayville, 

 111., and in late May at the home nurs- 

 ery at Onarga. In June they now h'ave 

 the Oconomowoc crop and this year the 

 Wisconsin peonies are turning out to be 

 the best of the lot. By June 5 they had 

 7,000 dozens of them in storage in Chi- 

 cago and expected to double that quan- 

 tity before the cut is finished this week. 

 Next year the Oconomowoc farm should 

 give a crop large enough so that it will 

 be a big factor in the June market. 



E. SchefiQcr, at Wheaton, has gone 

 into the forcing of cold storage lilies. 

 He plans to ship all summer. 



As fast as growers can work up stock, 

 apparently, Butterfly will displace 

 Ophelia in this market. 



Albert T. Hey comes in from May- 

 wood only now and then. He is doing a 

 nice little, quiet retail business there, 

 and is growing perennials; his favorite 

 song is, "Happy, That's All." 



H. F. Udally is preparing to start in 

 business on the northwest side as the 

 Portage Park Botanical Gardens. His 

 address is 4816 Cullom avenue. 



The Commercial Flower Growers of 

 Chicago will wind up the season with 

 a big night June 16. A banquet is 

 scheduled at the Hotel Randolph for 

 6:30. It will be preceded by a short 

 business meeting, to consist principally
