Mpntlon TTie Review when yon write. 



planted out: Boston, Elegantissima, and 

 Whitmani. He says he thinks the latter 

 an especially line thing, but calls atten- 

 tion to the greater growth the Boston 

 has made than any of the others. They 

 all had an even start. 



Selaginollas, pterises, etc., for dishes 

 are about the only plants Mr. McAdams 

 wholesales, small ferns being one of his 

 most successful specialties. 



Speaking of the value of real estate 

 in his locality, Mr. McAdams said that 

 the whole neighborhood was a slough in 

 1869. Now it is about the best part of 

 Hyde Park, but land is not worth as 

 much there as in 1893. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Stella Tonner and Leslie Elli- 

 thorpe were married Saturday afternoon, 

 May 11, at the home of the bride's par- 

 ents. Her sister, Miss A. L. Tonner, 

 was bridesmaid, and her brother, Walter 

 Tonner, was best man. There were 

 thirty-five guests. Mr. and Mrs. Elli- 

 thorpe departed Saturday evening for 

 fiussell, Kan., where the groom farms on 

 an extensive scale. A touch of romance 

 is given the affair by the fact that the 

 couple had known each other but a few 

 weeks, ^Ir. Ellithorpe having recently 

 come to Chicago to visit a relative in 



whose family Miss Tonner gave violin 

 lessons. He is considerably her senior. 



All the growers are, or have been, busy 

 planting carnations in the field. Several 

 have finished the "task and the others are 

 putting on all possible pressure. In many 

 instances the soil was not as moist as 

 the planters would like, but some big 

 fields have been jnit out. .»lore carna- 

 tions than ever before will be grown 

 under glass all summer, many having 

 already been benched. Quite a few rose 

 houses have been replanted, particularly 

 with Beauties, and after Memorial day 

 this work will be proceeded with in earn- 

 est. 



Poehlmanu Bros. Co. is cutting Chate- 

 ney roses with stems five feet long; but 

 their Chatenay sport, named ^lorton 

 Grove, has a better color. They are 

 planting this variety largely and will in- 

 troduce it next season, selling stock at a 

 low price to induce wide distribution. 

 They planted a field of 200,000 carna- 

 tion plants in five days last week. The 

 present crop of Easter lilies is much the 

 best so fat cut this year. 



C. A. Samuelson had the family order 

 for the Albert Keep funeral May 14, 

 using quite a quantity of cattleyas, which 

 fortunately were in good supply at Mc- 

 Kellar's, a fine crop ot Mossia; being 



now on. Wienhoeber and other leading 

 retailers also had some good orders for 

 the Keep funeral. 



A combination not often seen was a 

 table in the cut flower department of 

 Ihe E. F. Winterson Co. Monday. It 

 carried violets and cape jasmine. The 

 one was from Rhinebeck, X. Y., and the 

 other from Alvin, Tex. ; a case of ex- 

 tremes meeting. 



John Evert has planted one house witii 

 October Frost and another with Cleinen- 

 tine Touset chrysanthemums. He is 

 counting on profiting by a good early 

 market, such as we had last autumn. 



A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry, 

 says the firm has advices from a grower 

 in central Illinois that peonies will be 

 ready just in time for Memorial day. 



C. L. Washburn calls attention to the 

 fact that the first commencements each 

 year are those of the dental colleges, held 

 this week. Strange as it may seem, some 

 people always are to be found to send 

 flowers to tooth-pullers. 



Leonard Kill says he cannot remember 

 a time when so large a part of Peter 

 Reinberg's place has been in full crop 

 at one time. All the houses, except those 

 just replanted, are giving heavy cuts. 



Arnold Ringier says he had an es- 

 pecially good trip to the coast for the
