albuiii of the floral arrangements photo- 

 jjraphed at the sliow and is offering it 

 lor sale to the trade through jobbing 

 liouses. At last reports the executive 

 committee had not yet been able to get a 

 settlement from the jihotographer, so it 

 seems tliat tlio Horticultural Society 

 may have a good claim for an interest 

 in the stock of albums now on sale. 



When complaint is made as to the 

 lack of variety in stock, H. E. Klunder 

 has nothing to say. In his show window 

 Ajjril 27 were arbutus, sweet peas, pussy 

 willows, stocks, forget-me-nots, swain- 

 sona, poppies, mignonette, pansies, tu- 

 lips, daffodils nnd the all-the-year-around 

 flowers. All these and other items may 

 be had in the market, but not in great 

 quantity. 



Theo. Fabricius, who owns a mush- 

 room plant containing 50,000 square feet 

 of beds, in Bowmanville, at Lincoln and 

 Bryn Mawr avenues, plans to give his 

 attention exclusively to the mushroom 

 spawn business. 



Henry Hansen, who was formerly as- 

 sociated with liis father, Hubert Hansen, 

 in the management of the greenhouses 

 at 4016 North Clark street, has aban- 

 doned ihat business and is learning the 

 carpenters' trade. The father, believ- 

 ing himself too advanced in years to 

 assume the entire responsibility of con- 

 tinuing the business, has offered the 

 greenhouses for sale. 



Ganger & Gormley are moving from 

 27 State street to 29* State, the next door 

 south, where they will have a store that 

 is about twenty feet deeper than the 

 old one. Business is good with them and 

 they need the additional space. 



Joseph P. Brooks, at Morton Grove, is I 



planting carnations in the field, but most 

 of the growers are holding off, as the 

 temperature was as low as 36 degrees 

 April 29. 



The George Wittbold Co. is sinking a 

 well and has bought an electric motor to 

 ]»ump thg water that it is expected to 

 find at no great depth. About $50 per 

 month is now jiaid to the city for water, 

 and a good ))art of this is expected to be 

 saved when the well is working. 



(Jeorge Weinberg's second car of or- 

 chid plants was shipped from Ruther- 

 ford, K. J., April 29, and^vill be here 

 the latter part of this week. 



C. W. McKellar says the annual crop 

 of Cattleya Skinneri is on, but Mossise 

 at twice the price sells better. 



The notice of the demise of Mrs. Doro- 

 thy Bornhoeft appears in the obituary 

 column of this week's issue. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. has disposed 

 of the carload of boxwood received just 

 before Easter and this week has a second 

 carload in. The stock being of better 

 quality than the first lot, it will doubt- 

 less go even faster. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. received its first 

 peonies April 27. Old Eed now is in 

 small daily supply, with a prospect of 

 early increase with a little warm weather 

 in Missouri. These first Old Bed show 

 frost marks, but that signifies little as 

 to the rest of the crop. 



Sol Garland, of Des Plaines, was down 

 town April 25 and closed up the deal 

 for the new automobile. It is to be de- 

 livered by May 15. 



The trade will regret to hear that Ed- 

 gar Sanders has been under the doctor's 

 care for the last week. 



It is stated that Scheiden & Schoos are 



contemplating planting one of their sec- 

 tions with roses for next season. This 

 year the entire plant has been devoted 

 to carnations. 



C. L, Washburn, of Bassett & Wash 

 burn, says that Monday's business has 

 been steadily increasing until now Mon- 

 day is decidedly the busiest day in the 

 week, although it has been brisk every 

 day in the last fortnight. 



N. C. Moore & Co. will change their 

 steam heating plant to a vacuum system 

 before time to fire for next season. 



Otto Goerisch, of the A. L. Eandall 

 force, has been keeping bachelor's hall 

 for three weeks. Mrs. Goerisch is ex- 

 pected home from Burlington, la., Fri- 

 day. 



John Evert, who now has eight houses 

 in vegetables, is preparing to plant them 

 all with chrysanthemums for an autumn 

 cut. Last year he had only half his 

 space in mums, but he did so well that 

 he thinks he will double up this year. He 

 has done excellently with lettuce, havinjj 

 fine stock and getting good prices all 

 winter. He now has a crop of cucum- 

 bers approaching maturity. 



Steve Minor, who has been with the 

 Kennicott Bros. Co. for several years, 

 now has a job at the city hall. His place 

 with Kennicott 's has been taken by B. G. 

 Lambros, who formerly was in the re 

 tail business here and at Milwaukee. 



J. Becker, who bought the Winandy 

 establishment of A. Dietsch, has thrown 

 out all the carnations and says that next 

 season he will plant the entire place with 

 lettuce.

 Friedman and later at the north side
