Holiday after Holiday as they follow each other 

 bring with them in their various seasons other 

 outdoor cut Flowers to our market. Decoration 

 Day is Peony Day — just as Lilies are symbolic of 

 the Easter Day. Peonies during their time of 

 marketing line up in importance beside our 

 enormous quantities of Roses and Carnations 

 that we have for the demands of all Holidays. 



Cut Peonies are arriving daily, ready to respond 

 to the requirements of the trade. 



Growers ship them here 

 Retail Dealers buy them here. 



KENNICOTT BROS. CO.

 CHICAGO. 



Principal location in the market. 



Forty-seventh street, has disposed of 

 his interest in that concern and severed 

 his connection with it. Irving S. Solo- 

 mon, treasurer, notified the whole- 

 salers of the change last week. Mr. 

 Hirsch, who previously had been in the 

 business on Van Buren street and in the 

 Atlas block, says he plans to open a 

 downtown store as soon as a suitable 

 location can be foond. 



John Mangel celebrated his fifty-sev- 

 enth birthday anniversary May 2. He 

 was born at Sparta, but now takes rank 

 as one of Chicago 's oldest florists, with 

 stores in three hotels. 



The E. C. Amling Ck)., of Los Angeles, 

 is sending large quantities of statice 

 and other everlasting flowers to this 

 market. 



May 3 Bassett & Washburn finished 

 the job of reglazing their Greggs Station 

 ranges. Over 50,000 panes were reset 

 and it was a specially big job because 

 the breakage was scattered, a pane or 

 two, here and there all over the big 

 establishment. The Hail Association 

 last week paid its lo8S,^a little over 

 $8,100, but this was only a small part 

 of what the hail cost Bassett & Wash- 

 burn. 



Henry Wittbold & Son are rushing 

 the work on their new store at 75 East 

 Adams and expect to open it May 7. 

 The entrance adjoins that of Fanny 

 Butcher's famous book shop and the en- 

 vironment is ideal for a high class flower 

 store. The fittings will be in keeping 

 with the cultured clientele it is expected 

 to attract.
