all winter, but is now on the road to re- 

 covery, which will be good news to his 

 many friends in the trade. Mr. Sanders 

 is a cousin to Edgar Sanders, of Chi- 

 cago, who is the same age as he. Here's 

 hoping that both enjoy many years to 

 come with us. 



Fred Foster's place, at Broadway and 

 Olive streets, looks lonesome, with every- 

 thing around and above him for rent. 

 Still he is making his usual good show 

 and doing a rushing business. 



John Burke has given up the idea of 

 renting the big corner at Sixth and Lo- 

 cust streets and will content himself 

 with the old stand as long as trade is as 

 good as it has been. 



Adolph Brix reports that he had a big 

 week with funeral work and that as soon 

 as the weather permits he will start 

 building his new houses at his Mead 

 avenue establishment. His foreman, 

 Henry Braun, has left his employ and 

 will look for larger fields. 



Frank Fillmore had great success this 

 year forcing candidum lilies for Easter. 

 This stock was handled by Kuehn and 

 brought good prices. Mr. Fillmore says 

 he will make a specialty of these next 

 year. 



The plantsmen at the Union market 

 report trade not so good last week, owing 

 to the cold weather. The seedsmen, too, 

 came in for a little slack time during 

 the cold snap. Should this keep up 

 planting out will not begin before May 1 

 and then all hands will have to hurry. 



At their installation last week, the 

 newly elected councilmen and the new 

 appointees of the mayor received a num- 

 ber of large floral designs and bouquets 

 of American Beauties. In the council 

 chamber every desk was filled with flow- 

 ers. American Beauties were in pro- 

 fusion. J. J. B.
