city store, says they intend next season 

 to have a complete line of stock. 



One of E. C. Amling's groi^ers is 

 sending in an especially fine crop of 

 mignonette. The leading retailers are 

 using mignonette in quantity. The stores 

 catering to less critical trade do not 

 seem to have much use for it. 



Max Eeiberg, who.se first Easter it was 

 at 276 North Clark street, reports a good 

 business. His sales were principally 

 bulbous stock in pots and pans. 



An Easter visitor was H. B. Beatty, 

 of Pittsburg, treasurer of the Society 

 of American Florists. 



Buyers in this market will feel the 

 effect of the advance in rates made by 

 the telegraph companies. No charge 

 now is less than 30 cents. "Where tolls 

 were 40 cents they now are 50 ?ents. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. is moving to the 

 new location at 48 and 50 AVabash ave- 

 nue. They Avill open for business there 

 Saturday morning. 



F. F. Benthey, who has been many 

 years in the market, says he would not 

 be surprised if the total Easter supplies 

 in this market were twice what they 

 were in any previous year. 



The firm of Heubner & Brown, at 90 

 Washington street, consists of John A. 

 Heubner and Theron V. Brown. They 

 did a nice Easter business. 



Last Saturday the E. F. Winterson 

 Co. received from one shipper 19,000 

 sprays of Asparagus plumosus in 

 bunches; also 500 bunches of Sprengeri. 

 It is said to be the largest consignment 

 of greens ever received in this market. 

 Unfortunately jt came after the Easter 

 rush and when there was no special de- 

 mand. 



Ned Washburn, son of C. L. Wash- 

 burn, was at home from Madison, for 

 Easter and helped out during the rush 

 at Bassett & Washburn's. 



One wholesale house reports the re- 

 ceipts of 70,000 poet's narcissi from a 

 southern consignor. The stock came in 

 Friday and Saturday before Easter and 

 on Tuesday, between selling, giving to 

 the hospitals and dumping, it had all 

 been eleajied out, with gross receipts 

 just 70 cents less than express charges. 



Frank J. Pasternick, buyer for the E. 

 Wienhoeber Co., is carrying his left arm 

 in a sling as the result of blood poison- 



ing. At first serious results were feared. 



Carl N. Thomas, of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., lost no time after the Easter rush 

 in starting for his farm at West Spring- 

 field, Pa., where he will spend the sum- 

 mer. He left Saturday evening. 



Good Friday receipts broke all records 

 for the Poehlmann Bros. Co. Their 

 morning shipment consisted of fifty-six

 Three afternoon shipments brought forty 

 cases more, a total of ninety-six for the 

 day. Most of the stock was roses and 

 carnations. Lilies were sold out before 

 that day. 



One wholesaler reports that one Rhine- 

 beck grower sent 56,000 violets the three 

 days before Easter. The stock realized 

 $133.50, which was better than the av- 

 erage iPor the market. Expressage is 

 about 30 cents per thousand. 



The A. L. Randall Co. shipped 11,000 

 carnations on one order Good Friday.
