Saturday evening the elect of the be^ 

 nighted town of Blue Island were 

 initiated to active membership in the 

 select society of "the ridge," as the 

 Morgan Park neighborhood is known. 

 Among those called from the outer 

 darkness were Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Rudd. 



On May 31 D. W. Brant's lease ex- 

 pired on Mr. Noe's interest in the firm 

 and the business at Forest Glen will 

 hereafter be known as formerly, as the 

 Brant & Noe Floral Co. All the old 

 houses are being torn down and will be 

 rebuilt in the most modern way. 



Peter Keinberg is having an exception- 

 ally heavy cut of Liberty, which is in 

 especial demand just now. 



C. W. McKellar is receiving daily 

 shipments of cattleyas. He finds they 

 keep best with the stems imbedded in a 

 crock of sphagnum moss — but he only 

 keeps them until time to send out on 

 orders, for demand is excellent. 



Sam Pearce reports this his best season 



for bedding plants. He is practically 

 cleaned out. 



The Central Floral Co. moved oi\ Mon- 

 day to its new stand at 68 State street. 



Gus Fredrickson, of St. Joe, was in

 bedding stock. It has ^en a big season 

 and he was short on geraniums. 



John Zech served Monday as a judge 

 on the judicial election. 



The Chicago Rose Co. contemplates 

 building a boarding house for the green- 

 house hands at Libertyville. 



The selling force at Poehlmanns' is

 ping is good, they have their hands full. 

 Spanish iris was seen here this week. 



Vaughan & Sperry, Sinner Bros., Percy 

 Jones and others at the Growers' 

 Market are getting in their share of 

 stock. 



J. B. Deamud Co. has large receipts of 

 gladioli this week, as well as other items. 



And Killarney still blooms for "Weiland 

 & Eisch. 



Wietor Bros, are already booking 

 thousand-lot orders for field-grown carna- 

 tion plants. 



J. A. Budlong 's say that peonies afford 

 their worst problem this week, other stock 

 going as well 2& could be expected. 



The Benthey Coatsworth Co. reports 

 having sold an immense number of Rich- 

 mond rose plants. They expect to clean 

 out this week. 



The park boar'd is proceeding with the 

 plans for a new conservatory in Garfield 

 park. 



Frank Garland has a cement bench of 

 his own invention with which he will 



equip a part of his place at DesPlaines

 but removable.

 Philadelphia, arrived simultaneously with 

 the hot weather, but denies that his 

 activity is in any way responsible for 

 the heat. 



COLUMBUS. OHIO. 



Decoration Day Trade. 



We have had two weeks of good 

 business. Decoration day brought a 

 great demand, thought by many to be 

 the largest by far ever done in Colum- 

 bus. The increase is variously estimated 

 to be from fifty to 100 per cent. There 

 were two flowers that were in greatest 

 demand and divided the honors, carna- 

 tions and peonies. Both were available 

 in immense quantities, but sold out clean. 

 Indeed, peonies were oversold, several 

 disappointing their customers in not be- 

 ing able to furnish them in sufficient 

 quantities. Stock of all kinds was in 

 good demand and the consequence was 

 that a higher level of prices was main- 

 tained over the holiday. The best En- 

 chantress and Lawson carnations were 

 retailed at $1 a dozen, and peonies from 

 75 cents to $1. I mention these two 

 items to illustrate the good market we 

 had. What helped things, perhaps more 

 than anything else, was the absence of 

 much outdoor stock. 



Various Notes. 



A great deal of trouble has been 

 caused by the May frosts this year. May
