consequently higher. There is consider- 

 able difference in estimates as to what 

 the market will be, but $15 per hundred 

 is the price at which a number of houses 

 are booking advance orders. It seems not 

 unlikely that the market may go higher, 

 but $15 is a better average than lilies 

 ever made in this market, and a fair 

 basis for early business. The later mar- 

 ket will depend much upon the weather 

 in the next three weeks. 



Various Notes. 



H. A. Vent, formerly with J. A. Bud- 

 long, will start in business for himself at 

 Dekalb. He will grow asters and sweet 

 peas this summer and expects to open a 

 retail store next autumn. 



The A. L. Eandall Co. expresses pleas- 

 ure with the results of the exhibition at 

 Bloomington. A satisfactory number of 

 orders were booked on the spot and oth- 

 ers are coming in daily. 



George Eeinberg will carry over most 

 of his rose plants this year. He will 

 drop Liberty and Uncle John from the 

 list. He finds Eichmond much the most 

 profitable red rose. A quantity of Eich- 

 mond is being grafted, also a couple of 

 houses of Killarney. Two houses are to 

 be planted to Miss Kate Moulton and 

 part of these will be grafted. 



August Poehlmann, of the Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., reports a splendid business in 

 young stock, the demand for cuttings of 

 American Beauty being especially strong. 

 He reports having received a number of 

 orders for field-grown carnation plants 

 for autumn delivery. 



The Graff-Landfield wedding at the 

 Unity Club Sunday evening was a large 

 affair, a number of those in the trade 

 attending. 



C. L. Washburn says he thinks lilies 

 will be generally scarce for Easter and 

 refers to a number of inquiries received 

 from those who usually grow their own 

 lilies, but who this year will not have 

 them in on time. 



The Eetail Florists' Association will 

 meet at Handel hall this evening. 



In the democratic primaries last week 

 Peter Eeinberg carried his ward for his 

 friend, Harrison. Leonard Kill and a 

 number of growers in the Eose Hill 

 neighborhood were busy getting out the 

 vote. 



Anton Then writes from Magnolia 

 Springs, Ala., that he is steadily improv- 

 ing in health. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. will not move to 

 its new location until after Easter. 



At Washington park the show house is 

 filled with finely flowered azaleas. 



Notices have been received that T. 

 Mosco, who formerly conducted the flower 

 store in the Masonic Temple, has filed 

 a petition in bankruptcy at Sacramento, 

 Cal. He was in the debt of a number 

 of wholesale houses. 



The west park commissioners are solic- 

 iting bids for a range of conservatories 

 and greenhouses to be erected in Garfield 

 park. The ground space to be covered is 

 approximately 230x302 feet. Six houses 

 are to be built, averaging in height from 

 twenty-five to sixty feet, the width from 

 fifty to eighty feet, and surrounding a 

 large court covered with glass. Bids are 

 to be opened March 12. 



E. C. Amling says the call for greens 

 is about the strongest feature of the mar- 

 ket at present. 



Easter supplies are occupying a con- 

 siderable part of C. W. McKellar's at- 

 tention. He handles some nice gardenias. 

 Vaughan & Sperry say they do not ex-
