greenhouses, has reduced his growing 

 space for carnations six houses, and will 

 utilize this space for roses. 



A business trip to Detroit for the 

 after-Easter days is being planned by- 

 Paul Klingsporn. 



Joseph Ziska is looking forward to 

 the warm, balmy days of spring, when 

 he can again get into the open and 

 delve in his garden. Fortunately for 

 him, he doesn't need to worry about 

 the business, as his two sons are amply 

 able to take care of that without a 

 thought from him. 



That Fred Schramm, Park Ridge, 111., 

 a member of the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Association, is a master in 

 the art of growing calla lilies is evi- 

 denced by the grade of stock he is 

 sending to the Chicago market. 



H. A. Muir, an old-timer in the trade, 

 has been engaged to assist Harry C. 

 Rowe. 



The Pari* Flower Shop, 11 East 

 Jackson boulevard, Peter Duris, pro- 

 prietor, will move to 17 East Jackson 

 boulevard after Easter. Mr. Duris has 

 recently doubled the space of his De- 

 troit store, the Central Floral Co. 



The entrance to the basement at 112 

 South Wabash avenue, where Nicholas 

 Speropulos has conducted the Wabash 

 Flower Market for many years, has 

 been closed by a new cement walk. A 

 hundred feet north, however, Mr. 

 Speropulos' new stand is flourishing. 



Rothschild's department store adver- 

 tised a sale of lilies March 26 at 15 

 cents per pot! It was, of course, pretty 

 short stock, so far along it could not 

 be held for Easter, and there were a 

 good many cripples, so that if, as is 

 reported, the grower got 12^/^ cents 

 per pot it was as much as any florist 

 would have paid, and perhaps more, but 

 the resale at cost by the department 

 store was not relished by anyone in 

 the trade. 



A patent has been issued to A. L. 

 Poessel for a new and improved liner 

 for flower boxes. It consists of corru- 

 gated lengths of pecky cypress, which, 

 it is claimed, will aid in the aeration of 

 the soil and prevent sourness. The 

 material is being manufactured by the 

 Ickes-Braun Mill Co. 



The new power plant of the A. 

 Dietsch Co. is now working and its ef- 

 ficiency demonstrated. An item of ex- 

 pense in the operation of the mill has 

 been cut down considerably by using 

 waste and sawdust for fuel, which is fed 

 under the boilers by means of a cyclone 

 system of dust collection.

The Market. 



Business in the wholesale market last 

 week was especially good, with plenty 

 of stock and a strong demand. The 

 retailers are not buying so sparingly. 

 Funeral work has been the best for 

 weeks and seems to have been dis- 

 tributed about evenly among the differ- 

 ent stores. The retail places have al- 

 ready received some orders for Easter. 

 This Easter is expected to bring more 

 trade than any previous one; at any 

 rate, more stock has been ordered than 

 ever before. Business during Lent has 

 been the best on record for that time. 

 Palm Sunday made a heavy run on 

 palms. 



There are plenty of fine tulips, Easter 

 lilies, daffodils, hyacinths and other

bulbous stock for Easter. Pot plants 

 of all kinds will be plentiful. Carna- 

 tions are abundant and of better qual- 

 ity than has been seen in this market 

 for some time. The prices are ranging 

 near the $2 mark. Enchantress is the 

 favorite. In roses a fine crop is ex- 

 pected for Easter. Sweet peas are also 

 of excellent quality and plentiful.

 stock this year than ever before and
