symposium on the Easter trade. There 

 also will be a discussion on trade inter- 

 ests as seen from the retailers' view- 

 point, from which everyone, either grow- 

 ing or wholesaling, will get many ideas. 

 I'nder the leadership of President Bruns 

 there is something of' interest at every 

 meeting and attendance is steadily in- 

 t^reasing. 



H. Hasselbring, of the department of 

 I'otany at the University of Chicago, who 

 ^vas the first secretary of the Illinois 

 >*tate Florists' Association, is a son of 

 Ji. Hasselbring, who has a range of 50,- 

 I'OO feet of glass in roses, carnations 

 ind miscellaneous stock at Flint, Mich. 



George Eeinberg, in addition to his 

 extensive rebuilding operations, is put- 

 ting up five new houses to fill a triangu- 

 lar piece of ground adjoining his rebuilt 

 "ange. 



E. 0. Amling says he looks for carna- 

 tions to become much better property in 

 <he course of a couple of weeks. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. was delayed in 

 getting into its new store on Wabash 

 avenue by the plumber's failure to make 

 Hater connections. 



W. M. Tiplady, formerly gardener at 



the penitentiary at Joliet, is now in 

 charge at Elmendorf Farm, Lexington, 

 Ky., where a new range of glass is 

 shortly to be built. 



P. J. Hauswirth is cutting a nice crop 

 of gardenias — from some left-over Eas- 

 ter plants.- 



P. M. Kirscht, at Morton Grove, says 

 he will have his largest crop of carna- 

 tions by the end of this month. 



Johnson & Chronis, who have the cut 

 flower department at the Fair, have a 

 big decoration in the store this week. 

 Kennicott Bros. Co. supplied ninety 

 cases of wild smilax for it. Every one 

 of the thousands of employees is wear- 

 ing a carnation. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that the cool 

 weather has added to the length of the 

 violet season. With cool days again the 

 stock is coming through from Rhinebeck 

 in fair shape. 



H. C. Rowe is selling many small 

 birchbark pans and baskets planted with 

 asparagus and selaginella. 



C. W. McKellar says there was a good 

 call for orchids Monday, caused by the 

 opening of the season of grand opera. 



Baskets and hampers of pussy-willows 



are used with good effect at O. J. Fried- 

 man 's. 



Peter Eeinberg 's first range on "the 

 farm, ' ' which still is within the city lim- 

 its, will consist of five houses. Carna- 

 tions will be the principal crop grown 

 there next season.

 from Council Bluffs to Pittsburg; E. 

 Button, of Button Bros., Lake Geneva, 

 Wis.; E. M. Zetlitz, of the Lima Floral 

 Co., Lima, O., on his way to Dakota.

The Market 



Since Easter the market has been far 

 from satisfactory. On occasional days 

 there is a little spirit, but on the whole 

 it is slow and dragging, with far too 

 much material coming in, a good por- 

 tion of which has to be cleared at low 

 rates. Roses are now abundant and have 

 slumped considerably in prices, short- 

 stemmed teas being now down to $1 and 

 $2 per hundred. Beauties are quite plen- 

 tiful and of good quality. Richmond 

 and Killarney are also excellent. Brides
