Mention The Review when you write. 



is that the Missouri stock has not been 

 injured by frost. From southern Illinois 

 comes Avord that the Old Bed has been 

 practically ruined, but that other sorts 

 are found to have sustained little injury. 

 What are known as local peonies, if 

 grown back from tl)e lake, were far 

 enough advanced by tlie warmth of 

 March so that Old Red has suffered con- 

 siderably, other sorts not at all. 



Southern peony growers are hoping 

 for a few more days of cool weather, 

 fearing that otherwise the crop cannot 

 be held for Memorial day. 



Poehlmann's Plans. 



The Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton 

 Grove, is preparing to largely increase 

 its planting of Richmond and Killarney 

 roses for next season; both sorts have 

 proved highly profitable this season. 

 They have a splendid lot of young 

 grafted Killarney from A. N. Pierson, 

 Cromwell, Conn. Three half houses have 

 been planted with Morton Grove, the 

 Poehlmann sport of Chatenay, and the 

 young plants are in especially good 

 shape. This variety is to be disseminaPted 

 next spring. 



Various Notes. 



An advertisement of the Spot Cash 

 Store, at .Joliet, states that the "floral 

 department is now under the manage- 

 ment of Mr. J. D. Thompson, of the 

 Thompson Carnation Co. — which means 

 that the pick of flowers of the Thompson 

 ]>lant are reserved for the people of 

 Joliet and vicinity." 



The A. L. Randall Co. reports that the 

 supply department has been quite busy 

 since Easter. People are restocking and 



the call for Decoration day supplies has 

 begun. 



There was a large attendance of those 

 in the trade April 18, at the funeral of 

 William Louis Kidwell, son of W. H. 

 Kidwell, of John F. Kidwell & Bro. The 

 services were held at the family home, 

 3 Oakland crescent, where the young man 

 died Tuesday morning. The floral trib- 

 utes were many, for the father is one of 

 the most popular men in the trade and 

 has everyone's sympathy. The choice 

 quality of the flowers used was noted, 

 and the fact that nearly everyone had 

 made something out of the ordinary run 

 of work seen at obsequies where florists 

 are not personally interested. 



K. ]T. Hunt's report that, while they 

 knew there was a wide interest in the 

 subject of fertilizers, which prompted 

 the publication of "Wise Words," still 

 they are surprised at the number of re- 

 quests received for the booklet ; they 

 have come from every state in the Union. 

 One grower writes, "If ' Wise Words ' 

 are too heavy to mail, please express me 

 a copy. ' ' There is, no doubt, some pro- 

 found thought in the pamphlet, but wis- 

 dom is not so weighty as to go by 

 freight. 



Basset t & Washburn state that they 

 will after this season wholly discontinue 

 the growing of Chatenay and Gen. Mac- 

 Arthur. Liberty and I^a Detroit here- 

 after will be grown only for summer 

 blooming. Increased space will be given 

 to Killarney. They have two houses of 

 Liberty in fine shape for a spring crop. 



O. W. Frese, of the Poehlmann store 

 staff, is serving his second week on the 



Baumann & Co. have a large decora- 



tion on at the store of Marshall Field & 

 Co. This is the fifth successive FieM 

 decoration Avhich the Baumann people 

 have supplied. A large part of the ma- 

 terial has been made to order in each 

 case. 



One of the week's visitors was Chris 

 Lund, of Wausau, Wis., who has a new 

 carnation support in which he was seek- 

 ing to interest local growers. He says 

 that a number of rose growers will use 

 it instead of the usual method of tyinj; 

 for supporting their plants. 



A trio of the young men of the Wien 

 hoebor Co. gave a very successful dance 

 at a north side club house last Saturday 

 evening. 



Wietor Bros, report being especially 

 well pleased with the business last week. 

 They say the aggregate of sales was 

 ahead of any week containing a Me 

 morial day or a Thanksgiving in the his- 

 tory of the firm. Crops are large in al! 

 departments. 



Weiland & Risch say they will find 

 room for two more houses of Killarney 

 next season. 



E. C. Amling says it is surprising as 

 well as pleasing the way sweet peas hav( 

 been going the last few days. He ha? 

 one grower whose peas have been making 

 up to $2 per hundred in the last fe^^ 

 days. 



TTie E. F. Winterson Co, is doing a 

 good counter trade in its seed depart- 

 ment. The cold weather following Easter 

 made things quiet, but every time 

 the temperature warms up a bit business 

 begins to boom. 



The Wm. Dittmann Beauties are being 

 received at Zech & Mann 's at present. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. is handling some
