peonies will not keep well, but some fine 

 stock has gone in and it looks as though 

 there would be peonies for a month or 

 six weeks to come. With a prospect of 

 few good roses, no carnations, and asters 

 and other outdoor stock later than ever, 

 the holders of good peonies look for a 

 satisfactory market through July. 



A Taggias Machine. 



In this day of labor-saving devices, the 

 latest invention to be adopted by a num- 

 ber of the wholesalers is the Hotchkiss 

 automatic tagging machine. It is like 

 the stapling machines used by attorneys 

 for fastening legal documents together; 

 only the Hotchkiss device is used to sta- 

 ple tags onto the packing cases. It at- 

 taches them in an instant and holds 

 them securely. J. B. Crofoot, Milwau- 

 kee, has supplied the wholesalers. 



Ganger's Removal. 



John Gormley has retired from the 

 firm of Ganger & Gormley, but the firm 

 name will remain the same. John Canger 

 has removed from 27 State street to 29 

 State street, where the store is much 

 larger and he has facilities more in keep- 

 ing with the rapid increase in the busi- 

 ness, for he says the season just clos- 

 ing has been an exceptionally good one 

 so far as he is concerned. 



Jackson Boulevard. 



Jackson boulevard is the great auto- 

 mobile thoroughfare from the west to 

 the south side and thousands of good 

 flower buyers pass its flower stores each 

 day. Most westerly on the avenue, but 

 still downtown, is J. L. Baske, who has 

 an attractive store at the entrance to 

 Tom Jones' chop house. It is an ex- 

 cellent location for transient trade. He 

 still maintains the stand in the Board 

 of Trade, little more than across the 

 street. 



Opposite the Great Northern hotel is 

 the store of Hattie E. Carlson. She is a 

 hard worker and her efforts to please 

 her customers are steadily adding to her 

 trade. 



At the next corner, Plymouth place, 

 is the Eaton Flower Store, where the 

 personal following of the Eatons, mother 

 and daughter, made a good start. After 

 a year in business they express them- 

 selves as well pleased. 



In the Railway Exchange Fleischman 

 has taken down the partition between 

 the stores at No. 3 and No. 5. It will 

 take some weeks to complete the altera- 

 tions, but the store will then be more 

 than double its original size and dec- 

 orated more lavishly than any other in 

 the city. 



The Fall Premiums. 



The Horticultural Society of Chicago 

 has issued the preliminary list of pre- 

 miums for its exhibition to be held at 

 the Coliseum October 31 to November 

 6. The list is substantially as in pre- 

 vious years, but the earliness of the date 

 prompted the addition of a number of 

 classes for annuals and perennials from 

 the open ground. There also is a class 

 for the best collection of vegetables and 

 another for the best collection of fruits. 

 Those wishing copies^ of the lists may 

 obtain them by addressing E. A. Kanst, 

 assistant secretary, 5700 Cottage Grove 

 avenue, Chicago. 



The Picnic 



The committee of the Florists* Club 

 has chosen Sunday, July 21, as the date 

 of the annual club picnic. It will be 

 held at Morton Grove.
