Charles Klehm says that his estab- 

 lishment will be cutting Festiva Max- 

 ima by the end of the week, something 

 which seldom occurs by Memorial day. 



June always is a big month with H. 

 N. Bruns and he has felt sufficient 

 confidence in the business outlook to 

 Lave a larger quantity of valley pips 

 in sand than ever before. The heaviest 

 ■sale of pips he ever has had does not 

 weaken his confidence in an equally 

 lieavy sale of cut valley in June. 



The first Old Bed peonies of the 

 ■season were cut May 21 by the Batavia 

 Greenhouse Co., and O. Johnson now 

 looks for white peonies to be ready at 

 Batavia -lihls week. Ten days ago it 



did not seem possible that anything 

 could be cut before June. 



Mothers' day is the best money- 

 maker of the year for cut flower grow- 

 ers, according to E. C. Amling. He 

 says that its value lies not so much in 

 the sales for the day as it does in 

 holdings up the market between Easter 

 and Memorial day. Before Mothers' 

 day became a fixture there was a long 

 stretch of distressingly low prices. Mr. 

 Amling believes that the exploitation 

 of Mothers' day has been the principal 

 factor in relieving this long period of 

 low values. 



Aeeordiug to N. J. Wietor, the 

 largest crop of carnations ever grown 

 by Wietor Bros, is being cut this week; 

 he says it will run close to 150,000 



for the week, but that the crop will 

 be of unusually short duration. Re- 

 planting these houses will begin Mon- 

 day, June 1. 



Returning from an outing at Sauga- 

 tuck, Mich., J. Byers, formerly with the 

 Chicago Carnation Co., is helping out 

 this ■#eek with Ze«h & Mann. Next 

 week he joins the forces of the Bo- 

 hannon Floral Co., for the wedding 

 rush. 



At the meeting of the Cook County 

 Florists' Association, May 21, A. C. 

 Kohlbrand, chairman of the transpor- 

 tation committee, recommended the 

 use of the New Yoris CentnU lines to 

 the Boston convention, making the 

 start via Michigan Central. The ,iec-i, 

 ommendation was adopted. The Chi-
