 tending to be absent until the middle of 

 the summer. 



The Florists' Club holds its monthly 

 meeting at Handel hall May 9. Club 

 meetings now open promptly at 8 p. m. 

 and there is something of special in- 

 terest every night. 



Sol. Garland, at Des Plaines, has been 

 sending Percy Jones a remarkably steady 

 cut of carnations all through the season. 

 Asked as to how he manages to main- 

 tain his cut so evenly, he said he thinks 

 it is due to his method of disbudding in 

 the field. Instead of disbudding all the 

 stock at one time, he disbudded part 

 e\-ery day. The result was that the 

 plants had growths in all stages of de- 

 velopment. 



J. W. Breaky has a new store at 3915 

 Cottage Grove avenue and is doing a 

 nice business. It is the stand occupied 

 ever so many years by H. & E. Hil- 

 mers, the Art Floral Co. 



Mrs. Clark 's ladies ' lunch club, at 33 



Randolph street, now supplies a large 

 part of the wholesale cut flower market

 box of food to them upon request.

 the groom. 



Emil Buettner is no longer forcing 

 valley for the wholesale market. 



Ranson Kennicott went to Carbon- 

 dale Monday to superintend the ship- 

 ment of the spring crop of peonies and 

 other outdoor flowers. He will return 

 in season to handle the Kennicott local 

 crop of these flowers. 



E. E. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros. 

 Co., was at home ill Sunday and Mon- 



day. There are none more assiduous in 

 their devotion to business than he, and 

 it is a matter for special note when the 

 visitor fails to find him on deck. 



A. L. Randall and Mrs. Randall are 

 spending the week at West Baden. 



A florists' baseball team has been or- 

 ganized with W. P. Kyle as manager.
