will be two feet higher than the old 

 ones. They will change the heating from 

 hot water to steam. 



Bassett & Washburn say they are 

 pushing replanting as rapidly as the 

 scarcity of men will permit. 



Some of the wholesalers are now ship- 

 ping carnations with a layer of damp 

 sphagnum moss between each layer of 

 stems. 



The Poehlmann Bros. Co. is reglazing 

 seven of the houses in the August Poehl- 

 mann plant. The force is now giving 

 its special attention to getting the old 

 soil out of the benches and the new soil 

 into them. It is no child's play to 

 empty houses 600 feet long, and many of 

 them. 



Peter Beinberg has bought the Frank 

 Schneider greenhouses at Western and 

 Ainslie avenues. They were devoted to 

 vegetables. Mr. Beinberg will remove 

 the greenhouses to adjoin the new range 

 he is putting up on the farm. 



Sam Pieser, formerly a retail florist 

 on North Clark street, and a brother of 

 the Piesers, of the Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 is now representing the Royal Co., cigar 

 importers, next to Hauswirth's new store 

 on Michigan avenue. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is putting 

 in a shaft from the ice-box to the open 

 air, to get a free circulation, especially 

 for the carnations. L. Coatsworth re- 

 turned last week from New Castle and 

 says the young stock looks better than 

 it ever did before at this date. 



Klehm 's Nurseries has adopted a some- 

 what novel procedure in the marketing 

 of its peonies. Printed postal-cards have 

 been sent to a large number of buyers 

 advising that the Klehm peonies are on 

 sale at Kennicott 's and at Percy Jones', 

 giving the consignor's number, prices, 

 and admonishing the buyer to watch his 

 tickets to see that he gets the Klehm 

 number. 



Sinner Bros, have completed planting 

 one house of chrysanthemums. 



N. C. Moore & Co. say they are much 

 disappointed in their peony crop this 

 year. Plants are six years old, but will 

 give only one-eighth as many flowers as 

 last year because so many shoots are 

 blind. They are disposed to sell oflP the 

 peony stock and devote the land to other 

 purposes. 



George Harrer, president of the vil- 

 lage board of Morton Grove, when he 

 is not spreading special assessments on 

 his neighbors' property, is selling them 

 life insurance or real estate. But he 

 has found time from his other duties in 

 the last three weeks to repair the dam-

age recently done his greenhouses by

Joseph Foerster has become one of 

 the converts to Killarney. At first he 

 did not have a high opinion of this rose, 

 but he says it steadily has been improv- 

 ing. It is holding its color much better 

 than any other variety. 



Weiland 6c Risch say they will be cut- 

 ting Killarney from young plants inside 

 of three weeks. 



H. F. Halle has now been in his north 

 side store about a fortnight and is satis- 

 fied with the way business opened. He 

 now makes this store his personal head- 

 quarters.

There have been a number of visitors 

 in town this week. Among them are J. 

 F. Wilcox, Council Bluffs, la. ; Nelson 

 Cole and George Cole, Peoria, who were 

 called back by wire, business was so 

 brisk; Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Linton, Ind.; 

 Harry Venn, DeKalb, HI.; Mr. Kinyon, 

 South Bend, Ind.

The Market 



With the closing of schools the florists* 

 busy season is practically at an end; at 

 least this is the ease with the stores in 

 the large cities. Naturally there was a 

 big demand for stock last week for the 

 closing exercises at the schools and col- 

 leges. Roses, especially, were io big de- 

 mand, while sweet peas were a good 

 second. Carnations were used to some 

 extent, but not nearly enough to relieve 

 the glut that has been piling up since 

 the warm weather commenced. 



The quality of the roses is good. 

 Maids are of nice color, but rather small 

 flowers. Kaiserin is seen only in small 

 lots so far. Killarney and La Detroit 

 are fine, the latter especially. Good 

 roses can be bought for 3 cents to 5 

 cents, although the price runs up to 7 

 cents and 8 cents for fancy stock. 



So far the heat has had but little 

 effect on the quality of carnations, but it 

 has had its effect upon the quantity. The 

 market is simply flooded. Enchantress, 

 especially, is piling up by the thou- 

 sands. White is really the only color 

 that remains fairly well cleaned up, and 

 then those of doubtful freshness are
