men employed at its greenhouses at Mor- 

 ton Grove. It is said to be the largest 

 force employed by any cut flowier grower 

 in the United States. 



The Florists' Club holds its March 

 meeting next week, Thursday evening. 

 Easter will be the subject for discussion. 



C. W. McKellar says orchids have im- 

 proved in supply the same as other items 

 and that the demand is a little slow at 

 present because no great amount of wed- 

 ding work is done during Lent. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is han- 

 dling some excellent sweet peas from the 

 E. G. Hill Co., Bichmond, Ind. 



Home-grown orange blossoms are one 

 of the March specialties of the E. F. 

 Winterson Co. They say the green car- 

 nation fluid is selling better than ever 

 this year. 



P. Pearson contemplates selling his in- 

 terest in the business of Keene & Pear- 

 son, 920 North Campbell avenue, to en- 

 gage in carpentering. 



It is reported that J. F. Kidwell has 

 abandoned his plan of erecting a range 

 of greenhouses west of the city this sea- 

 son, 



E. Franzen, sales manager for Schei- 

 den & Schoos, says the demand for car- 

 nation cuttings, especially Enchantress, 

 continues excellent. He is surprised at 

 the number of inquiries received for un- 

 rooted cuttings of Enchantress. 



Klehm's cut of Novelty tulips is o%Ter 

 for the season. Kennicott Bros. Co. re- 

 ports having done especially well on them 

 this year. 



James King, of Elmhurst, is serving 

 on the federal grand jury, reported by 

 the daily papers as about to indict a 

 number of trust officials. 



O. P. Bassett has written from Fun- 

 chal, Island of Madeira, that the flowers 

 of their red carnation. No. 20, taken 

 with him on the steamer, were still in 

 good condition. They were shipped from 

 Chicago February 5 and Mr. Bassett 's 

 letter was dated February 12, 



The latest popular song had been sung 

 by John P. Kisch, if with somewhat dif- 

 ferent words, for two years before it 

 became the hit of musical comedy. Its 

 title is * ' My Irish Eosie. ' ' A good 

 many have joined in the chorus. 



E. C. Amling says the sun has brought 

 out the sweet peas in abundance. They 

 have had a brisk sale up to the last few 

 days. 



Although Peter Keinberg has been de- 

 nounced by Alayor Dunne and his friends 

 because as alderman he voted for the 

 new traction ordinances, and because he 

 favored Carter Harrison for mayor, 

 when the Dunne people made up their 

 finance committee they put Mr. Eein- 

 berg's name well up on the list. He is 

 expected to raise funds for a cause he 

 does not favor. All that Mr. Beinberg 

 does in the present campaign will bo 

 done for the democratic party and not 

 for municipal ownership. 



Adam Wolniewicz says he will have 

 about 1,000 geraniums in bloom for Eas- 

 ter. One of the sections of his cast-iron 

 boiler broke last week, but he patched it 

 with Smooth-on cement and escaped loss. 

 He thinks the patched boiler will carry 

 him through tlie season. 



A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Spcrry, 

 has spent a few days canvassing the 

 prospects among the growers and thinks 

 well of them. 



"\Vm. A. Peterson and "Gipsy" Smith, 



the evangelist, have been conducting re- 

 vival services in various parts of Chi- 

 cago, doing spring plowing in the Lord's 

 garden, as it were. 



At E. H. Hunt's, C. M. Dickinson 

 says the approach of spring is made ap- 

 parent by increased calls for To-bak-ine 

 products. 



Kobert Klagge and wife, Mt. Clemens, 

 Mich., were in town last week. 



Otto 6oerisch was lucky man in a suit 

 club this week, on an investment of $2. 



The business in young stock seems 

 quite satisfactory to all this year. There 

 also is an excellent sale for the old 

 plants from the benches, especially Beau- 

 ties. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Business is still good locally, as a fair 

 week's business was reported last week 

 by almost all the retailers. Funeral work 

 is especially heavy. There seem to be 

 ])lenty of small weddings and an occa- 

 sional large one, in spite of tiie Lenten 

 season. The Orthwein wedding, March 5, 

 was one of the largest this season. Other 

 social work is somewhat scarce. 



In roses, first-class stock in Brides and 

 Maids is still scarce and high in price. 

 Large quantities of violets are being 

 brought into market every day and the 

 demand for them is excellent. Prices 

 range low. The supply of Californias 

 will be small for Easter. 



Carnations are a little too plentiful, 

 but still in great demand, with prices 

 for extra fancy at $4 per hundred. Qual- 

 ity is extra fine in all varieties, especially
