store of the Fleischman Floral Co., is 

 now with A. E. Eley, of Wheaton. 



The Foley Mfg. Co. is now nicely set- 

 tled in its new quarters on Twenty- 

 sixth street and Western avenue. 



A.. C. Spencer, of Peter Beinberg's, 

 says the business in young stock of roses 

 •111(1 carnations is this year about twice 

 wliat it was last year; but it will be re- 

 membered that last year 's business was 

 not up to the expectations of the whole- 

 sale growers of young stock. 



Frank Williams closed Moscoe's old 

 store in the Masonic Temple Tuesday. 

 Ilo still is running the store around the 

 • orner on Randolph street and has an in- 

 terest in the Alpha Floral Co., which 

 ii'cently opened the store at the corner 

 of Madison street and Wabash avenue, 

 so that he has plenty to occupy his en- 

 ergies. 



Word comes from Joliet that J. D. 

 Tliompson, Avho recently assumed the 

 nianagement of the new floral depart- 

 ment in the Spot Cash Store, has gone 

 to Xew York for the purpose of buying 

 supplies with which to stock the depart- 

 ment. 



One of the week's visitors was A. E. 

 T/.>tey, Houghton, Mich., who recently 



has incorporated his business as the 

 Lakeside Floral Co. 



Among the week's %'isitors are Wm. 

 Craff, of Graff Bros., Columbus. O. ; 

 Wm. Satter, of Ebbinge & Van (rroos, 

 Boskoop, Holland; Wni. Dilger, Wauke-

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



There is not much to say regarding the 

 market aud store trade of the last week. 

 The store men report a fairly good trade 

 in all lines, but the customary large wed- 

 ding (lecorations which follow Easter are 

 missing this year. There are plenty of 

 su.allor affairs. Funeral work has been 

 quite jtlentiful of late and that helps out 

 greatly. The weather also has had a 

 bad effect on the trade. We have had 

 few pleasant days since Easter, but the 

 moiitii of ^lay should bring warmer and 

 clearer weather. The greenhouse men 

 have been waiting for this kind of weath- 

 er for planting out, as they have plenty 

 of orders ahead. 



At the wholesale houses we find plenty 

 of good roses in all varieties. There are 

 a great many fine, long-stemmed Amer- 



ican Heauti<s coming in, which soil well 

 but at a low j.rice. TIk! lesser grades 

 also are plentiful. In Bride, Maid, 

 Ivory, Carnot, Killarney and Richmond 

 the market has iiecn well supplied almost 

 (ncry day. 



Carnations seem to be the scarce flow- 

 ers in the market; few are coming in. 

 but the scarcity in these extends to other 

 markets as well, as those* wlio have regu- 

 lar shi|)ments coming in daily arc trying 

 to buy from the local market. 



Callas and Ilarrisii are slacking up. 

 Lily of the valley is j)Ientiful. These, 

 with a few odds and ends, are all that 

 come to this market daily. 



Various Notes. 



We iiave had a number of visitors with 

 us the last week, representing various 

 firms. -Vmong them were Aruold Rin- 

 gier, with the W. W. Barnard Co., Chi- 

 cago, on his way home from the coast. 



William C. Young, state vice-president 

 of the S. A. F., will be at the next club 

 meeting to report his work ahead for the 

 next convention. lie will also be pro- 

 vided with blank applications for anyone 

 wishing to join the society.
