for New York. He had spent a week 

 among the private gardeners at Lake 

 Forest and other near-by points. He 

 said his recent articles in the Country 

 Gentleman have created all kinds of 

 talk, many people thinking he painted 

 gladiolus growing in too glowing colors. 



F. W. Romer, representing the Briar- 

 cliff Greenhouses of F. R. & P. M. Pier- 

 son, Scarboro, N. Y., was looking 

 over the western markets with a view 

 to disposing of next season 's crop of 

 American Beauties, His concern has 

 shipped quantities here before and prob- 

 ably will send more than ever west this 

 season. 



D. Scott Geddis, an old employee of 

 C. A< Samuelson, now in charge of the 



florists' department of Scruggs-Vander- 

 voort-Barney, the Marshall Field of St. 

 Louis, was in town to look over Frank 

 Oechslin's houses and those of other 

 plantsmen and to talk to builders. Not 

 finding an adequate supply of plants in 

 their neighborhood, the firm last week 

 bought five acres of land at Olivette, 

 Mo., and will put up a modern range 

 of about 35,000 feet of plant houses as 

 a starter to back the department pre- 

 sided over by Mr. Geddis. 



F. J. Olson, of Ames, la., dropped in 

 on his way to New York, whence he sails 

 on the Imperator June 27 for a two 

 months' trip through Europe, his first 

 visit in many years to his boyhood home. 



Following Mr. Olson came E. H. H.-^e- 



ger, of the Haeger Brick & Tile Co., El- 

 gin, 111. . This concern has been in busi- 

 ness forty-two years, but only recently 

 began the manufacture of flower pots. 

 They find the possibilities in this field 

 even better than they looked at the 

 start, six months ago. 



Various Notes. 



August .Jurgens, who with E. E. 

 Pieser, of Kennieott Bros. Co., is inter- 

 ested in a peony plantation at Calumet, 

 Mich., left for the north June 22 to 

 superintend the cutting of the crop, 

 which is expected to be ready for ship- 

 ment in a few days. A part of the plan- 

 tation is 3 years old, and a part 2 yeiars 

 and 1 year. Nothing has been cut to
