CHICAGO 





things seem serious. The engineer sat 

 up all that night boiling. Here is his 

 report : ' ' Off again, on again, gone again, 

 Finnegan. ' ' 



You may ask why Mr. Wertsner 's witty 

 story is historic. Well, Phil attempted 

 to get it off afterwards on quite a young 

 man. Before two words had been spoken 

 the young man said with a bored look, 

 "If that is the Finnegan story, I heard 

 it twenty years ago." 



Various Note*. 



L. G. Blick, of Norfolk, Va., suffered 

 a severe loss in the death of his father, 

 which occurred last Sunday. Mr. Blick 

 has many friends in this city. 



Among the visitors here within the 

 last few days were "William F. Gude 

 and the Freemans, father and son, of 

 "Washington, D. C. ; John Cook, and 

 William F. and Charles Feast, of Balti- 

 more, Md. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. will 

 remove from its present quarters at 1516 

 and 1518 Sansom street, July 1, to 1517 

 Sansom ' street. The * ' Philadelphia 

 Cut, ' ' as its loyal supporters term it, 

 will have greatly increased facilities in 

 the new building, where it will occupy 

 the first and second floors. 



Charles Balderston, of Colora, Md., is 

 sending some fine Gen. Jacqueminot 

 roses, quite a rarity in this market until 

 Easter, to W. E. McKissick. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. received many 

 cases of Easter baskets on the steamer 

 Menomenie, which were sold in original 

 case lots. They have been greatly 

 pushed this week filling the last moment 

 orders. 



"W. & Harry F. Evans, of Kowland- 

 ville, Pa., have 6,000 fine pots of lilies. 



which Leo Niessen says have all made 

 Easter, except only a dozen or so plants. 



Charles Schmitt, of Harrisburg, haa 

 been in this city recently. 



Berger Bros, are fortunate in having 

 a heavy cut of fancy Brides and Maids 

 from Stockton & Howe for Easter. 



Emil Gerschick is making a fine 

 Easter display on the old Cliffe place 

 at Main and Johnson streets, German- 

 town. 



"William Munro, of Garrettford, is 

 sending fine Kaiserins to the Philadel- 

 phia (^t Flower Co. and to W. E. Mc- 

 Kissick. 



Mr. Masolf, representing, the King 

 Construction Co., has taken charge of 

 the operations at North "Wales for tho 

 Florex Gardens. The smaller house has 

 been commenced. A carload of millwork 

 lost in transit has been recovered. 



The tri-city bowling tournament, sched- 

 uled for last Thursday, in this city, has 

 bees postponed until after Easter. 



The spring show of the Pennsylvania 

 Horticultural Society was held on Tues- 

 day, "Wednesday and Thursday of this 

 week in Horticultural hall. 



Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., was among the Philadelphians in 

 "Washington during the rose show. Mr. 

 Berkowitz has some interesting ideas re- 

 garding the possibilities of the business 

 which I hope to give later. 



Edw. J. Fancourt, secretary of the 

 S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., has returned 

 from a successful six weeks* business 

 trip. 



"William J. Moore has been king bee 

 on southern daffodils, of which he has 

 disposed of immense numbers. 



The Hugh Graham Co., Logan, Pa., 

 has flowered some plants of Frau Karl 



Dtuschki rose, variously described as 

 the white American Beauty and the 

 white Brunner. These plants are said 

 to be remarkably well done. 



M. Bice & Co. are receiving, on an 

 average, a dozen telegrams daily for 

 Easter supplies, and report that all or- 

 ders are filled and shipped as soon as 

 received, they having made special pro- 

 visions for a large Easter business this 

 year. 



Edward Reid says plant sales are 

 ahead of last year. 



Leo Niessen says the plant growers are 

 already refusing orders. 



J. J. Habermehl's Sons have a fine 

 display of well-grown flowering stock. 



The Eobert Craig Co. had fine rhodo- 

 dendrons and Magna Charta roses in ad- 

 dition to the stock described two weeks 

 ago. 



Jacob Becker had a lot of well-grown 

 Easter plants. 



Myers & Samtman, of Wyndmoor, Pa., 

 will add one house 200 feet long and, I 

 think, 56 feet wide, for American Beauty 

 roses this season. They will use Lord & 

 Burnham material with Stems bars. 

 This house, with the rearrangement of 

 two other houses, will increase their 

 capacity for American Beauty roses 

 from 26,000 and some odd, to 35,000, 

 exactly the number to be planted by the 

 Florex Gardens. 



F. R. Matsinger, of Palmyra, N. J.^ 

 should be an ardent Review man here- 

 after. Ask him why. PhDj. 



Lincoln, III. — Gullett & Sons had 

 their lilies ready in good season and 

 shipped quite a number in pots. The 

 bulk of the stock, however, is sold at 

 wholesale, cut.
