cal and pharmaceutical interests, but 

 he never is happy for long without a 

 greenhouse. He has been in the trade 

 in several of its branches and at pres- 

 ent is proprietor of the Grayland Nur- 

 series & Floral Co., on Warwick avenue. 



June 5 Winterson 's Seed Store re- 

 teived several cases of kentias and 

 aspidistras that left the nursery of 

 Louis Van Houtte, pere, at Ghent, Bel- 

 gium, April 29. It would appear, then, 

 that transportation is not materially 

 delayed via Eotterdam. 



The A. L. Eandall Co. reports that 

 Peterson Nursery, Swain Nelson & 

 Sons Co., James King Nursery and K. 

 Scheffler were among those who started 

 the annual peony shipments June 7, fol- 

 lowing the heat wave of the preceding 

 thirty-six hours. 



A similarity between the old Humei 

 peony and the new Mrs. Russell rose 

 has been discovered by Charles Erne, 

 of Erne & Klingel. Can you guess it? 

 Both pink, you sayf Sure, but that's 

 not it. Mr. Erne says neither opens 



satisfactorily if cut tight; they must 

 both be allowed to develop the flowers 

 quite fully on the plant; then they're 

 both unusually good keepers. 



Kidwell & Ellsworth, members of 

 the Chicago Flower Grower's Associa- 

 tion, find Milady rose a suflSciently 

 paying proposition to induce them to 

 add 3,000 plants of it to their already 

 liberal space allotment in Wellworth 

 Farm Greenhouses, Downers Grove. 



Amory W. Sawyer, who for many 

 years was in the greenhouse business at 

 Sycamore, 111., now is secretary of the 

 Chicago Auditorium Association and 

 manager of the big Auditorium build- 

 ing. He is well known to the older gen- 

 eration in the trade and never has lost 

 his interest in the business. 



According to C. L. Washburn, Bas- 

 sett & Washburn will double their stock 

 of the Lady Hillingdon and Sunburst 

 roses this year, as these two varieties 

 have proved profitable. Bhea Reid is 

 still a favorite with them. Prince 

 d'Arcnberg has been dropped, as Mr. 



Washburn does not consider it a good 

 shipper. 



F. J. Benthey, 165 North Wabash 

 avenue, has half a house of Hoosier 

 Beauty already benched. He is in- 

 clined to regard this new rose with 

 favor and will devote considerable 

 space to it in his greenhouses at New 

 Castle, Ind. 



There is nothing like being a philoso- 

 pher and making the best of things as 

 you find them, thinks A. L. Vaughan. 

 Sunday, June 6, he started out in his 

 car to inspect a certain farm, but los- 

 ing his way in the wilderness of roads 

 about Chicago, he abandoned his object 

 and spent the rest of the day riding 

 through the country lanes enjoying the 

 rural scenery. 



According to Benjamin Gage, of the 

 Peterson Nursery, there is no cause for 

 uneasiness as to the local peony crop. 

 The supply will be normal and the 

 quality is quite up to standard. Cut- 

 ting at Peterson Nursery began June 7.
