J. B. Deamud is getting in heavy sup- 

 plies of peonies from Jas. Hartshome, 

 of Joliet. The singles are very beauti- 

 ful flowers but are not wanted in quan- 

 tity by the retailers. Some of the dou- 

 ble varieties are excellent. The Festiva 

 maxima has been selling at $1 per dozen 

 this week. Geo. Piepgras is now with 

 Mr. Deamud.

Benthey & Co. are! getting a fine cut 

 of long Beauties from stock cut back in 

 March.
