run of orders for large designs last 

 week. Nearly every day brought its or- 

 der for something out of the ordinary. 

 One day he made a horseshoe standing 

 six feet high of Eichmond roses, for the 

 opening of Streeter's new shoe store. 

 It was sent as a good luck emblem by 

 a wholesale shoe house. Another day 

 he made a cross seven feet high and 

 the next day a star six feet across. 

 Friday he had an order for a double 

 spray six feet long of the best white 

 roses, the two sprays being joined with 

 a tie of violets, imitating a big bow, 

 and used as a casket cover. 



J. F. Kidwell & Bro. report that a 

 large proportion of their lilies will miss 

 Easter. 



J. E. Jensen carries his left hand in a 

 bandage. He says a dog mistook it for 

 a beefsteak. 



The west park commissioners have 

 awarded the contract for the new con- 

 servatory at Garfield park to (J. E. Car- 

 son & Co., a firm of general contractors 

 with oflSces at 109 La Salle street. Lord 

 & Burnham Co. and Hitchings & Co. 

 were the only horticultural builders to 

 put in bids; there were a number from 

 local general contractors. 



N. J. Wietor, who has been at Colum- 

 bus, Dayton, Springfield and Cleveland 

 ^for a week or more, reports that every- 

 one he met was prosperous and looking 

 forward to the biggest Easter on record. 

 Wietor 's Beauty crop is large. 



Leonard Kill says Alderman Peter 

 Beinberg is taking more interest in the 

 Easter crops than he has at any time 

 since Carter Harrison inveigled him into 

 politics. The resison is that Mayor 

 Dunne, who seeks reelection, made 



speeches for Mr. Reinberg's opponent 

 when Mr. Eeinberg was himself a can- 

 didate for reelection a year ago. Be- 

 ing too good a democrat to work for 

 Busse, Mr. Eeinberg has time to take 

 note that business is good at the store 

 and rose crops heavy. 



Philip J. Foley has been elected presi- 

 dent of the Millmen's Association, a 

 trade organization of the firms engaged 

 in turning out mill work. 



L. Coatsworth is busy these days 

 studying the catalogues of the motor- 

 boat makers. He says an automobile is 

 all right for some people, but he pre- 

 fers to do his speeding where the tele- 

 graph poles are not so thick. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 says he thinks all stock will be plenti- 

 ful for Easter with the possible excep- 

 tion of carnations. 



John Ebert will plant all his place 

 in mums for fall and is busy propagat- 

 ing for an early start. 



E. T. Wanzer, at Wheaton, sends the 

 A. L. Eandall Co. some fine carnations. 

 He has had exceptionally good results 

 with Victory and will plant more of it 

 next season. He says it looks to him 

 as though Enchantress might be consid- 

 erably overdone next year and he thinks 

 of cutting down on it. 



Mr. and . Mrs. Fred Weber lost their 

 baby March 17. The child was three 

 months old. 



Will Kyle, of the Deamud Co., was 

 at home all last week, ill with the grip, 

 and has not yet got the ache fully out 

 of his bones. 



Joseph Foerster, of George Eein- 

 burg's, says that he has no fault to find 

 with business during Lent. It has held 



up better than usual, and their heavy 

 crop is just coming on. 



The George Wittbold Co. will not 

 have as many lilies this Easter as last, 

 but will have no trouble getting most 

 of them in; in fact, one lot is so far 

 advanced that they are holding back 

 strong. They will have a splendid lot 

 of Eambler roses. 



Philip Schupp, at J. A. Budlong's, 

 says he thinks they may count them- 

 selves fortunate in the timing of their 

 crops all season. He says their heaviest 

 cut will be over before the anticipated 

 glut follawing Easter. 



E. H. Hunt has a fine lot of lilies 

 coming daily from "Big Pete" Sroczy- 

 riski, who is said to have 20,000 gera- 

 niums and much other spring stock 

 ready to move up into the space the 

 day after Easter. 



The city has not yet come to a set- 

 tlement with the Eogers Park Water 

 Co., but is operating the plant and the 

 growers on "the ridge" are getting 

 better service and cheaper rates. 



C. W. McKellar includes valley in 

 the list of stock which is not selling as 

 well as it should. He says orchids will, 

 be abundant for Easter and the wed- 

 dings which will follow. 



As usual, Vaughan & Sperry will 

 have quite a few Easter plants to dis- 

 pose of for their grower at Grand Eap- 

 ids. 



Arnold Schaflfhauser, formerly with 

 Wietor Bros, and later foreman for 

 Adam Zender, is taking a vacation be- 

 fore taking hold of a new job.
