PEONIES 



You can count on us for Peonies up to the Fourth of 

 July. Best goods. Present prices, 50c to 75c dozen. 



KENNICOn BROS. CO.,

a day for the supplies not produced in 

 his own greenhouses, returning as heav- 

 ily laden as any younger man. 



Charles Klehm says local peonies are 

 several days late, due more to lack of 

 rain than to the check of cold weather. 

 Stems are shorter than usual and buds 

 smaller, but Mr. Klehm says experience 

 has shown that they will develop to full 

 size when placed in water, the same as 

 in seasons with more rain. 



May has been a month of low prices, 

 but E. C. Amling says it has beon one 

 of his best months; and he is looking 

 for a good June. In May he has handled 

 such quantities of stock that, even at 

 low averages, the total of sales has been 

 very satisfactory. And Monday, May 

 28, his sales totaled higher than for any 

 other day in hia ten years in the whole- 

 sale business. 



The A. L. Bandall Co. has installed a 

 force of wire-workers on a new balcony 

 in the supply department. A finely 

 printed price list on wire work has been 

 issued. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. is receiving 

 large lots of Mississippi cape jasmines 

 this week, the season having been more 

 favorable in Mississippi than in Texas. 



Theodore C. Hanschke on May 25 

 opened a store at 848 North California 

 avenue, a neighborhood which has for 

 some time been without a flower store. 



Mike Fink is what is called a hustler 

 and is doing a constantly increasing 

 business on Cottage Grove avenue, just 

 south of Twenty-second street. 



C. L. Washburn thinks he is especially 

 favored when it comes to trouble. A 

 tooth bothered him and the dentist sent 

 him to a specialist. The specialist said 

 an ' ' operation ' ' would be necessary to 

 get rid of the offending molar, per- 

 formed it, and left Mr. Washburn with 

 a hole in his jaw and a hole in his 

 pocketbook, which, if not equally pain- 

 ful, was equally large. 



Mrs. Eaton has opened her new store 

 at 86 Jackson boulevard. It is hand- 

 somely fitted up and a good business will 

 likely be done. Charles Balluff has 

 charge of the work. 



Orchids are again quite abundant, 

 and McKellar reports them selling well, 

 for wedding work. He anticipates a big 

 run on them during June. 



Kroeschell Bros. Co. reports a heavier 

 run of advance orders than in any pre- 

 vious year. All their output is built 

 to order. Over eighty greenhouse boilers 

 already have been built this season. 



Carl Ickes, of A. Dietsch Co., says 

 that the note in the Eeview last week

as to their having booked orders for 

 166 greenhouses should have made clear 

 that this number of houses had been 

 already turned out and all but sixteen

 more houses are on the books for future 

 delivery.

 to his new store on the south side of the

The Central Floral Co. expected to

 vary park.

 ard is erecting a building 16x40 to be 

 used eventually as a storeroom, but for 

 the present as a delivery office. He is 

 leaving room at the front for an office, 

 which he expects to build soon.

The Market 



Trade, consequent on the approach of 

 Memorial day, showed a gradual bracing 

 all through last week and during the 

 early part of the present week things 

 were booming. On May 26 very few 

 flowers had to be carried over and on 

 May 28 practically everything was eager- 

 ly snapped up. An enormous amount of 

 material was placed on the market, but 

 the demand was phenomenal and there 

 was no trouble in disposing of it unless 

 in the case of some lots of pickled car- 

 nations, which were cleared at lower 

 rates. Year after year growers will per- 

 sist in hoarding up flowers in anticipa- 

 tion of greatly enhanced prices and each 

 year they are taught a lesson which, 

 however, is forgotten ere the advent of 

 another Memorial day. 



Roses have stiffened quite a little from 

 last week's low figures. Some choice 

 Beauties made $20 to $30, other grades 

 varying from $5 to $15. Some very 

 fine Liberty and Richmond appeared
