larger and more expensive speciinens, 

 especially rosea. 



Ob the whole, the retailers say the 

 FJaster trade was at least as good as 

 ever before, antl many of them aver 

 that it was the best ever. 



Various Notes. 



Poehlmaun Bros. Vo., whose lease at 

 70 and 72 East Randolph street expires 

 April 30, has obtained teiiij)orary (jiiar- 

 ters. The cut ilower dejjartment will be 

 located for a while in the basement at 

 66 and 68, the supply department re 

 maining on the second floor at that ad- 

 dress. The workroom and storage de- 

 partment, now on one of the upper 

 floors at 70 and 72, will be provided 

 for a few doors away, on River street. 

 It is the talk of the street that the 

 Poehlmann coni])any soon will annouiice 

 the acquisition of a permanent home iu 

 the heart of the market district. 



A meeting of the creditors of the .lohii 

 C. Moninger Co. was held April 18, at 

 which time it w^as decided to organize 

 a committee to carry on tlie busines'^. 

 Details will be found in another column. 



One of the week's financial news 

 items of special interest iu the trade 

 was the merger of the Oak Park Trust 

 & Savings ))ank and the State Bank of 

 Oak Park, the latter being the insti 

 tution of which E. C. Amling was presi- 

 dent for several years prior to his re- 

 moval to California, and of which C. J. 

 Michelsen became a director at the last 

 annual election. The merger deal, a 

 $400,000 transaction, is reported to have 

 been the result of Mr. Michelsen 's ini- 

 tiative. The merged bank will occupy 

 a new building, on the site of the .Am- 

 ling bank and Schneider's flower store, 

 which is next door. 



N. J. Wietor says that his firm cut 

 more roses last week than in any other 

 six days in the history of the establish- 

 ment. They were cleaned out when the 

 store closed April 15. 



Mrs. John Reding, wife of the Wil- 

 mette grower, has returned home from 

 a stay of nearly a month in St. Francis 

 hospital, Evanston. Mrs. Reding is 

 much improved in health and able to be 

 about the house. 



Henry Van Gelder had a difficult 

 Easter, as he was suffering with an in- 

 fection of one of his elbows, which 

 made every movement painful. It is 

 improving now. Mr. Van Gelder says 

 more sales were made than at any other 

 Easter, though the average size was 

 somewhat below that of recent years. 



Ernie Anderson, right-hand man for 

 C. L. Washburn, is resting up after 

 Easter, doing .iury service in Judge 

 Olson 's court. 



George C. Weiland is ])reparing to 

 "doll up" his Evanston store. The old 

 icebox is being moved into the work- 

 room for storage purposes and a new 

 16-foot box is being built by Buch- 

 binder Bros. Mr. Weiland owns the 

 store he occupies, and it is said in 

 Evanston the property has doubled in 

 value in the last throe years. 



There were no jieonies for Easter. 

 The Gould Nursery had expected to ship 

 at least 1,000 bunches from its new farm 

 in Mississippi, but the crop proved a 

 failure. Not more than three or four 

 crates will be shipped this year and 

 none were ready for f]aster. The crop 

 at Halls, Tenn., seems in perfect con- 

 dition up to this date. In spite of the 

 backward spring, it should be in good 

 time for Mothers' day.
