on splendidly, with bulbous stock in the 

 field nearly ready to cut, but shipments 

 have been delayed by the cold weather. 

 Bansom Kennicott, who spends his 

 winters at Des Plaines, last week re- 

 ceived word that there was frost al- 

 most every night on the farm at Car- 

 bondale, but that the peonies are not 

 &ir enough out of the ground to have 

 Mistained any damage. Weather con- 

 ditions thijs far are thought to be fa- 

 vorable for the southern shippers. 



Various Notes. 



Quite a few growers, figuring that 

 roses now pay best, are preparing to 

 drop carnations at the end of the sea- 

 son, but at Niles Center the Blameuser 

 Floral Co., with 30,000 feet of glass in 

 roses, is planning to throw them out and 

 give all the space to carnations next 

 season. The concern is owned by Ed- 

 ward H. and Emil C. Blameuser, who 

 each has a separate range of his own, 

 and by their sister, Mrs. May Brod. 



A. C. Zvolanek, the sweet pea man, 

 is expected in Chicago the latter part 

 of the week, on his way home to Cali- 

 fornia from the New York flower show. 



It is reported the agents for the new 

 Lemoyne block, in which the E. C. Am- 

 ling Co. and the A. L. Bandall Co. have 

 just established permanent headquar- 

 ters, are negotiating with several whole- 

 sale florists, principally in the Atlas 

 block, with a view to getting them into 

 the basement of the new building. 



C. W. McKellar and wife returned 

 March 28 from their trip to the Pacific 

 coast. They were gone just four weeks 

 and visited the two expositions. Mr. 

 McKellar says they both are better 

 than people here realize. At Los 

 Angeles they met three former Chicago 

 florists, Leonard Kill, Fred Sperry and 

 Fred Hills, each of whom seemed well 

 content with life in the sunshine of 

 southern California. 



C. S. Stewart, who has been in busi- 

 ness on North avenue for a year and a 

 half, wants to sell his store so that he 

 can engage in something else. 



Erne & Klingel la^t week bought the 

 fixtures and supplies in the store of the 

 J. B. Deamud Co., which went out of 

 business some weeks ago. The ice- 

 boxes were sold to F. W. Dunteman, 

 Bensenville, 111., to be used for cooling 

 his cut before shipment. 



Charles Zapfe has removed to 421 

 East Sixty-first street, where he has 

 much larger store space. Mr. and Mrs. 

 Zapfe have established their residence 

 nearby, in an apartment at Sixty-sec- 

 ond street and Vincennes avenue.

N. J. Wietor reports an especially 

 good demand for young plants of Sun- 

 burst rose. Among numerous good mail 

 orders was one for 20,000, as a result 

 of a classified ad. 



The shipments leaving the establish- 

 ment of Poehlmann Bros Co., in the last 

 few days, have been the largest in the 

 history of the concern, the orders for 

 blooming plants running considerably 

 ahead of last year. For the city busi- 

 ness, six freight carloads of lily plants 

 were sent in by rail, in addition to the 

 quantities hauled by the company's 

 motor trucks. 



Winterson's Seed Store this season 

 has an alliance with a nursery that fills 

 all its orders and has found it possible 

 to largely increase its sales of nursery 

 stock by virtue of the arrangement. 



Arizona appeals so strongly to James 

 Novak that he has bought five acres 

 near Tucson and will garden there. For 

 the last two years he has managed the 

 Fred Weber Beauty houses on shares. 

 Before that he was with Wietor Bros., 

 with whom he made a splendid reputa- 

 tion as a grower. Mr. Novak went to

Arizona early in March merely for a 

 trip, but sent word he had decided to 

 remain. His family will follow soon. 

 The Weber range now is in charge of 

 Arthur Weber. 



Although there seem to be all the 

 lilies that are likely to be needed this 

 week, large quantities are known to be 

 too late for Easter. At least three 

 large growers, whose Christmas plants 

 prevented an early start, have thou- 

 sands of pots of lilies that will come on 

 the market after Easter. The prospect 

 of profitable prices during the greater 

 part of April is extremely discouraging
