year; peony growers have multiplied 

 faster even than the plants do. 



C. L. "Washburn says that in spite of 

 the splendid prospects for peony crops, 

 locally, he is afraid the growers will 

 find many of the buds soft and contain- 

 ing nothing which will develop into a 

 flower. This was the way with the 

 southern crop. 



John Poehlmann says that, although 

 the shipping trade has slacked oflE con- 

 siderably, there still is a good call for 

 special roses. KiUarney brings a better 

 price than any except Beauty. 



E. C. Amling says that the scarcity 

 of asparagus strings is making itself 

 felt in the largely increased sale for 

 smilax. 



John Zech says he looks for a fair 

 market for good roses to develop before 

 the week is over. 



George Eeinberg on Monday cut sev- 

 eral dozens of fine cattleyas from the 

 new house of orchids. 



J. A. Budlong's are getting a stead- 

 ily increasing cut from their young 

 Beauties. They have planted largely of 

 grafted Bride and Maid again this year. 



Matt Mann is this week just in the 

 midst of a big crop of Enchantress. His 

 production is nearly ten times what it 

 was ten days ago. The stock is excel- 

 lent for so late in the season. 



r. F. Benthey points out that Kil- 

 larney is holding its color splendidly in 

 the hot weather and is the popular rose 

 with the leading retailers. He says that 

 at New Castle the Benthey-Coatsworth 

 Co. will in a few days be cutting from 

 young Beauties and also soon from 

 young Brides and Maids. On Monday 

 they began replanting that part of the 

 range not replanted for the purpose of 

 getting a summer crop. 



When the mercury begins to cavort 

 among the 90 's A. L. Eandall 's thoughts 

 turn to his Michigan fruit farm. He 

 usually goes there in July and this year 

 says he will have a first-class crop of 

 grapes and about half a crop of peaches 

 to market. 



N. J. Wietor and John Sinner expect 

 to go next week on their annual fishing 

 expedition to Tomahawk lake. 



Sinner Bros, are cutting a big crop 

 of Brides and Maids. 



Peter Eeinberg is rebuilding twelve 

 of the oldest houses at his Kotey street 

 establishment. These are only about 

 seven years old and were in what most 

 wrowers would think to be first-class con- 

 dition, but Mr. Eeinberg is satisfied 

 with nothing other than the high iron 

 gutters. As soon as the rebuilding is 

 completed, work will be begun on the 

 new range out on "the farm." 



On Monday C. W. McKellar received 

 3,000 blooms of Festiva maxima peony 

 from J. F. Eosenfield, at West Point, 

 Neb. 



E. F. Winterson states that on Mon- 

 day his concern already had 72,000 

 peonies in cold storage. The quantity 

 of peonies stored this year, taking the 

 market as a whole, will be much greater 

 than ever before. 



Leopold Koropp has bought all the 

 peony blooms to be cut this year at the 

 Peterson Nursery. The purchase in- 

 cludes 5,000 blooms of Festiva maxima 

 from plants four and five years old that 

 carry their buds four feet from the 

 ground. 



The entire staff of Vaughan & Sperry 

 is hard at work these days. As soon as 

 the morning's rush of selling is over, 

 all hands turn in and re-bunch peonies. 



o the 

 rade. 



We append a price list which is, 

 in our best judgment, what prices 

 will be until you hear from us 

 again. 



If you read the trade papers 

 you will see the price lists are 

 nearly all alike. This is because 

 we must have our "copy" ready 

 by Tuesday, and Monday's selling 

 price is a basis for the coming 

 week's trade papers. 



Be this as it may, we send out 

 a price list, but we always bill at 

 Chicago selling price at time of 

 shipment. 



Always keep in mind that we 

 are your agents and while we re- 

 ceive a great quantity of stock, 

 all is not of shipping grade, and 

 if we are out we will get it for you 

 if it is to be had in Chicago.
