was a little slow, but that the activity 

 in 1907 has piit them well to the good. 

 The supply department also is making 

 steady progress. 



Vaughan & Sperry call attention to the 

 fact that practically all their large sup-" 

 ply of peonies this season will come from 

 growers who have not previously shipped 

 cut flowers to the Chicago market. In 

 a normal season there would be no chance 

 of any scarcity of peonies in this mar- 

 ket. ^ 



C. M. Dickinson, of Hunt's, reports 

 that within the last few days they have 

 delivered ten-gallon casks of To-bak-ine 

 liquid to John Muno, Bassett & Wash- 

 burn and J. A. Budlong, and that they 

 have orders for early delivery of similar 

 casks for several other large local grow- 

 ers. These casks, representing a value 

 of considerably over $100 each, are sup- 

 plied with locked faucets. 



An attractive display in one of John 

 Mangel's windows last week was made 

 with cut sprays of bougainvillea. 



Leonard Kill and wife expect to spend 

 next week at West Baden. 



E. C. Amling reports that he received 

 an order for Decoration day peonies 

 from a retailer in Ehode Island. 



The Atlas Floral Co. has equipped its 

 show windows on both sides of the store 

 with cases separating the window from 



the store, in the fashion now employed 

 by all the retailers who carry large 

 stocks of flowers in the windows. 



H. E. Hughes, on West Van Buren 

 street, has an attractive Memorial day 

 window, a cemetery scene, which attracts 

 an unusual amount of comment among 

 passers-by and has brought him a great 

 deal of Decoration day business. 



C. W. McKellar has this week received 

 many thousands of outdoor irises, which 

 bring what should be a quite satisfactory 

 return. 



E. F. Winterson stat^s/^>hat he has 

 made arrangements whereby the E. F. 

 Winterson Co. will receive a shipment of 

 50,000 new ferns each day as long as the 

 present active demand requires. They 

 also have in a big shipment of boxwood, 

 which has become one of the best selling 

 greens in this market. August Schaefer, 

 a brother-in-law of Mr. Winterson, is 

 now associated with the firm, having 

 charge of the oflBce. 



George Reinberg cut the first orchids 

 from his new stock last week. In the 

 course of another fortnight the regular 

 supply will begin. 



O. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett have 

 reached New York on their way home 

 from Europe and will be in Chicago in 

 a few days. 



One of the week's visitors was Mrs. 



James Lister, of Newton, la. A couple 

 of years ago she rented her place to C. 

 W. Anderson, but thinks of again enter- 

 ing the business. 



Peter Reinberg had a nice cut of the 

 Mrs. Marshall Field rose for Memorial 

 day. As previously reported, the books 

 show this rose to have been the most 

 profitable of any on the place this sea- 

 son. 



August Jurgens thinks he sees signs 

 of a recession in the flower business, but 

 the wholesalers tell him he always feels 

 the same way in the spring of the year, 

 when the outdoor valley is competing 

 with the indoor crop. 



John Zech, of Zech & Mann, says he 

 had anticipated having abundant supplies 

 of white carnations for the Decoration 

 day demand, but the orders were so large 

 the receipts were quickly taken up. 



Wietor Bros, report that they will 

 shortly begin to cut from their first 

 planted Beauties. They always see to it 

 that a few houses are planted to come 

 into crop for June. 



L. Coatsworth, who has been down to 

 New Castle, says that everything is in 

 good shape there and that the young 

 Beauties planted to take the place of 

 Richmond are looking fine. 



John Kruchten says that at last re- 

 ports his grower of peonies found their
