hard forcing. Quality will be nothing to 

 brag of in most cases. It looks as 

 though good liUes might command a 

 premium as Easter approaches but that 

 there will be plenty others which wijl 

 stand a long time awaiting a purchaser. 

 Several of the largest growers report 

 that they will be reauy with special 

 crops of Beauties for Easter. Other 

 stocit will be in about the normal sup- 

 ply, but not in such heavy supply as a 

 year ago, when Easter was two weeks 

 later. 



Reinberg Changes Base. 



Several years ago Peter Eeinberg, with 

 an eye to the future, bought a farm a 

 couple of miles northwest of his present 

 location and it has been understood that 

 eventually he would remove his base of 

 operations from the old stand, where land 

 commands a premium. Arrangements 

 have been made for a sidetrack and 500 

 boxes of glass have been ordered for the 

 start of the new range there. Plans 

 have not been completed, but it may be 

 foreseen that a big modern plant will be 

 the outcome. 



Various Notes. 



The supremacy of the great central 

 market and the possibilities which lie in 

 united effort for the common weal were 

 the themes Tuesday evening, March 12, 

 at the banquet of the Chicago Commer- 

 cial Association at the Coliseum, where 

 2,100 business men, each with a pink car- 

 nation in his buttonhole, attended what 

 was undoubtedly the biggest banquet ever 

 given in this country. The 250 waiters 

 went on strike just as the guests were 

 seated, but instead of giving in the 



diners repaired to the kitchens and served 

 themselves, so the affair was thoroughly 

 typical of Chicago. 



H. N. Bruns sent a display of lily of 

 the valley to the St. Lojjis show last 

 week and, as usual, took first prize. 



N. J. Wietor spent this week visiting 

 Eichmond, Columbus and Cleveland. 



The wife of Duncan Eobinson, of E. 

 Wienhoeber's staff, is ill in the Passa- 

 vant hospital. 



The A. L. Eandall Co. this week re- 

 ceived a large importation of German 

 Easter novelties. They came just in 

 time, for some of them have yet to reach 

 the Pacific coast. 



Arthur Dietsch has sold the Winandy 

 place to jfohn Becker, a lettuce grower 

 at Evanston, who took possession last 

 week. Zech & Mann handle the stock 

 as heretofore. 



C. W. McKellar is receiving some nice 

 spikes of the Beauty of Nice stock. 

 They sell well. 



Joe Beaver is now with J. L. Raske, 

 on Jackson boulevard. 



Bassett & Washburn have on exhi- 

 bition some blooms of a longiflorum 

 which Henry & Lee call the Togo lily. 

 It is a longiflorum grown in the north 

 of Japan and has a heavy texture and 

 every evidence of health and vigor. It 

 is to be regretted that the north of 

 Japan does not produce liUes in quan- 

 tity. 



E. C. Amling says one of his grow-' 

 ers will be ready with a special crop of 

 mignonette for Easter. 



Mons Olson is the latest addition to 

 the staff at the store of the Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co. 



George Eeinberg is almost ready to 



plant six houses of American Beauties. 

 He expects to get at it the latter part 

 of this week, rather earlier than ever 

 before. 



N. C. Moore & Co. say their lilies will 

 be better than usual this year and that 

 they are now carrying them as cool as 

 possible, for they are in ample time. 



C. M. Dickinson, at Hunt's, says that 

 if the present demand for To-bak-ine 

 products is any indication, the growers 

 will have a strenuous time this spring 

 fighting insects. He says the call for 

 To-bak-ine comes from every corner of 

 the country and is heavier than ever 

 before. 



This is club night. It is hoped there 

 will be a large attendance. 



John Sinner was at Joliet last week 

 and was much pleased with the Condi- 

 tion of stock with the Chicago Carna- 

 tion Co. He says that Mr. Pyfer told 

 him that by the end of the season they 

 expect to have propagated half a mil- 

 lion cuttings of Aristocrat. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is ex- 

 perimenting with a cork linoleum table 

 cover. It looks as though it would be 

 just the thing for retailers to use to 

 cover their work-tables. 



W, E. Wadsworth, at one time with 

 Lange and later in charge of Muir's 

 Forty-seventh street store, has gone to 

 St. Louis to enter the employ of Fred 

 C. Weber. 



Fred Sperry, of Vaughan & Sperry, 

 says they are well satisfied with the 

 quality of lilies and that theirs are 

 plenty early. 



P. J. Hauswirth, secretary of the 

 S. A. F., went to Philadelphia last Fri- 

 day to be on hand for the executive com-
