Co., who has just returned from a 

 trip through western Illinois and Mis- 

 souri, reports a general improvement 

 in business conditions in spite of the 

 fact that the growing season has been 

 decidedly backward and wheat has 

 been hit hard by the cold. 



A most appropriate window display 

 for a florist doing an extensive ceme- 

 tery business is that of Ernest Oechs- 

 liu, Madison street and Gale avenue, 

 opposite the entrance to Concordia 

 cemetery. He has in his window the 

 representation of three well kept 

 graves, planted with foliage and bed- 

 ding plants, showing the possibilities 

 of their use. The display is surround- 

 ed by a border of lawn. 



Thomas Conlon, superintendent of 

 the plant department of Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., is busy these days getting 

 his geraniums, vincas and cannas into 

 the field. Tony Gabel, who has charge 

 of the mums, has one house planted 

 with October Frost and Golden Glow. 

 He has just started to plant another 

 house with Bonnaffon. Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co. will devote eight houses to 

 mums this year. Mr. Gabel took a 

 run to Union Grove, Wis., the other 

 day in Eichard Salm's automobile, 

 and says French & Salm did a splen- 

 did business Memorial day. They are 

 growing Mrs. Charles Russell rose ex- 

 clusively and have about 35,000 plants, 

 all of which are in excellent condition. 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. received a large 

 shipment of palms and araucarias from 

 Belgium June 7. 



Recently returned from a trip to his 

 home town, Corsicana, Tex., A. Miller, 

 of A. Henderson & Co., says business 

 conditions in that part of the country 

 are rapidly improving as a result of 

 cotton prices again approaching the 

 normal. 



T. Grabowski, 4523 Addison street, 

 will add a new house to his establish- 

 ment this summer and has already pur- 

 chased a new tubeless Kroeschell 

 boiler. No, 24 size, for it. 



Carl Ickes, of the Ickes-Braun Mill 

 Co., reports orders coming about as 

 last year and enough to keep all hands 

 busy.

home at Winnipeg after attending the 

 monthly meeting of the directors of 

 A. T. Pyfer & Co., of which corpora- 

 tion he is president. Pressure of other 

 business matters prevented his staying 

 for this week's meeting of the Chicago 

 Florists' Club. 



A large order for specially prepared 

 self-watering hanging baskets has been 

 given to M. J. Tillmann's Sons by the 

 Geo. Wittbold Co. These baskets are 

 to meet a popular demand and will be 

 marketed by means of a strong adver- 

 tising campaign now being prepared by 

 Payne Jennings & Co.

One of the week's visitors was S. 

 Suzuki, of the Yokahama Nursery Co. 

 Mr. Suzuki had booked passage on the 

 Lusitania, but most fortunately missed 

 connection. After events have per- 

 suaded him that this is the wrong time 

 to visit London. As a result, he passed 

 through Chicago on his way to the 

 Pacific northwest, where he will visit
