 showing a gain of twenty per cent since 

 opening the new store. 



Sailing from Southampton .July 15, 

 Oscar Lcistner will call on the trade 

 on his way from New York to Chicago, 

 completing his annual European trip. 

 Mr. Leistner will be a strong factor in 

 the basket business this season. 



0. W. Frpse reports that Reimera 

 Bros., of Rapid City, S. D., lost all 

 their carnation plants in the field, and 

 most of their mums iu frames, in a 

 hail storm last week. 



Peter Heirens, in Rogers Park, who 

 heretofore has grown carnations, will 

 try roses this season, planting four 

 houses to Richmond and the Killar- 

 neys. He also will have three houses 

 of carnations and one of mums. 



John Zech identifies, as Pink Beauty, 

 the bright pink gladiolus that has come 

 on the market in considerable quantity 

 this week. It is not listed in many 

 seed catalogues and has not been of- 

 fered in quantity as a out flower, but 

 was advertised in the classified col- 

 umns of The Review last winter. The 

 buyers like it as well as the growers 

 appear to. 



Henry Wehrmau, at Maywood, is 

 disappointed with his crop of seed of 

 the new Anita Wehrman sweet peas; 

 it is not much over half the quantity 

 that was expected. The shortage is 

 due to the small number of seeds found 

 per pod. Three seeds was good, and 

 many had only two or even one. John 

 Michelsen says the stock was locked 

 up in the safe deposit vault of the 

 Oak Park State Bank July 6. 



Emil Reichling reports that field- 

 grown carnation plants have been sell- 

 ing splendidly with Peter Reinberg. 

 Mrs. Felix Reichling, wife of the man- 

 ager of the Reinberg store, will be in 

 Augustana hospital for some time, but 

 is recuperating nicely after her opera- 

 tion June 29. 



When John Poehlmann says Mrs. 

 Russell rose looks to him like the best 

 of recent acquisitions the statement 

 has value because of that gentleman's 

 well known conservatism. He says 

 that if it grows as easily as it sells it 

 will be a winner, Mrs. Russell having 

 recently brought considerably better 

 prices than Beauties. The keeping

quality is one of its strong points, Mr. 

 Poehlmann thinks. 



The monthly meeting of the Chicago 

 Florists' Club is to be held July 9. 

 The place of meeting is changed to 

 the Bismarck hotel, 175 West Ran- 

 dolph street. With the call for the 

 meeting Secretary Foley sent each mem- 

 ber a ticket of admission to the club's 

 picnic grounds at Morton Grove July 

 19. The committee is preparing an in- 

 teresting program. 



S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, 

 spent the Fourth in Chicago. 



One of the week's visitors was F. A. 

 Brockman, of Fort Smith, Ark., on his 

 way to and from Battle Creek, Mich., 

 where he spent the Fourth with a sis- 

 ter. At home Mr. Brockman looks 

 after the greenhouses while his father 

 runs the store. 



President N. P. Miller, of the Cook 

 County Florists' Association, has sold 

 ten tickets to the lake trip July 12 to 

 members of his family. He says if 

 every member of the association does 

 as well it will crowd the Theodore 

 Roosevelt.
