 are talung to the shredded cattle manure 

 and that they have handled several car- 

 loads during March. 



Word conies from Crown Point, Ind., 

 that Aloys Frey, head gardener at Lin- 

 coln Park, has bought what is known 

 as the Krost tract M. thirty acres north- 

 east of that town and will at once build 

 a range of glass and establish a nursery. 



E. C. Amling says that, taking every- 

 thing into consideration, he is more than 

 pleased with results for the month of 

 March. He says his sales were slightly 

 in excess of those of a year ago, al- 

 though last year Easter fell on the last 

 day of March. 



C. W. McKellar's new ice-box was 

 installed last week and is now in opera- 

 tion. It is an Orr & Lockett box of 

 improved design, with plate glass in one 

 side to permit examination of the or- 

 chids without taking them out of the 

 box. 



George Eeinberg says that one of the 



pleasing features of the business in re- 

 cent years has been the way the old 

 Beauty plants have sold. Not many 

 years ago these were dumped, but now 

 there is a good sale for them and Mr. 

 Reinberg expects to dispose of from 

 10,000 to 15,000 this year at a nickel 

 apiece or better.

 application for membership in the Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club. 



C. M. Dickinson has been at home 

 ill for several days. 



Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Bassett are now 

 at Arrowhead Springs, Cal., and have 

 decided not to return to Chicago until 

 about Easter. 



C. L. Washburn says the way the 

 blooms of the Orland P. Bassett carna- 

 tion stood up at last week's show pleased 



him exceedingly. The bhsoms cut Tues- 

 day were still in first-class shape Satur- 

 day morning, when he gave them to the 

 art students. 



Scheiden & Schoos, at Evanston, will 

 rebuild all benches throughout their 45,- 

 000 feet of glass this season. They 

 have bought three carloads of pecky 

 cypress to do it with, including 18,000 

 feet of 2x4 pecky scantling for runners 

 and crossf^es. 



The George Wittbold Co. had a large 

 decoration at the Fair, March 30, and 

 has had a great deal of other State 

 street work in the last fortnight.

 week 's department store decorations have 

 cleaned them out of wild smilax and

 Washington street, where they will have 

 double their present facilities. 



Peter Reinberg has received the en- 

 dorsement of both the Municipal Voters* 

 League and the United Societies, and 

 so certain is his reelection regarded that 

 he has been appointed a member of the 

 non-partisan committee on organization 

 of the city council, which will go to 

 West Baden the Friday after election 

 and work up the council committees 

 "far from the madding crowd." 



The Tribune will have a gardening de- 

 partment this season and announces 

 prizes aggregating $625 for the best 

 gardens, and $250 for the best window 

 boxes. 



Virginia Foley, daughter of James P. 

 Foley, of the Foley Mfg. Co., died on 

 the evening of March 26, at the age of 

 2 years. It was word of this sad event 

 that called the child 's uncle, P. J. Foley, 

 from the Rose Society banquet, where
