business in western hardy cut ferns. A 

 great many people are anxious to try 

 them and one buyer, April 6, took 100,- 

 000. 



April 7 Peter Eeinberg was elected to 

 a third term in the city council, receiv- 

 ing 4,208 votes to 3,247 for his nearest 

 competitor. It is a republican ward, but 

 Mr. Reinberg has scored a good plural- 

 ity for three successive elections, this 

 time 961. Leonard Kill was campaign 

 manager, and attention will now be given 

 to the Easter cut flower business. 



John Sinner, of Sinner Bros., keeps 

 a daily record of sales of both roses 

 and carnations, so that at the end of 

 the season he can tell just how much 

 money each crop has brought in. They 

 have practically the same amount of 

 bench space in carnations as in roses. 

 There have been years when the car- 

 nations brought more money than the 

 rose crop did, but this year the roses 

 are giving $1.25 for each $1 the car- 

 nations bring in. 



C. W. McKellar handled two wagon- 

 loads of southern narcissi April 3. 



G. S. Crego, the grower who supplied 

 E. C. Amling with the Crego aster last 



summer, and for several years, is remov- 

 ing from Maywood to Portland, Ore., 

 where he will grow seeds for the trade. 

 His departure will not, however, take 

 the Crego aster out of this market, as 

 he has sold the seeds to a large number 

 of growers in the last three months. 



April 3 Mrs. Pieser, wife of E. E. 

 Pieser, treasurer of the Kennicott Bros. 

 Co., received word of the death of her 

 mother and left immediately for the 

 family home in Canada, north of Mon- 

 treal. 



F. A. Thompson, of Detroit, who is 

 the manufacturer of To-bak-ine products, 

 made his headquarters at E, H. Hunt's 

 last week. He says he is more than 

 pleased with the sales of his insecticide, 

 but regards it as curious that the large 

 growers use it more freely than do the 

 smaller ones. C. L. Washburn says that 

 Bassett & Washburn have used as much 

 as ten gallons in a single week, and other 

 large growers use it extensively. Mr. 

 Thompson says many growers who could 

 do a thorough fumigation with a pint or 

 quart, still seem content to use tobacco 

 stems. 



Sam Pearce says that not more than a 

 quarter of his lilies are what one would 

 call good, tall stock, but that the short 

 ones are more heavily flowered than 

 usual and will bring profitable returns. 

 They will ndt do for cutting and ship- 

 ping, but the retailers want them for 

 making up baskets and are buying at 

 good prices, that is, 8 cents to 10 cents 

 per bud. 



J. W. Breakey, who has the old H. 

 & B. Hilmers stand at 3915 Cottage 

 Grove avenue, is preparing to move about 

 May 1 to a new store a few doors north, 

 at 3909, where he will have as good fa- 

 cilities as almost any retailer on the south 

 side. 



John Mangel has been making adver- 

 tising capital this week through the dis- 

 play of the Crane cup in his show win- 

 dow. It is the hundred-dollar trophy 

 for the best hundred Beauties at the 

 rose show and was won by Bassett & 

 Washburn, from whom Mangel gets a 

 large part of his supply. The cup is one 

 of the handsomest trophies ever offered 

 for a flower show prize, and Bassett & 

 Washburn feel well repaid for their ef- 

 fort through its possession. 



Brant & Noe, at Forest Glen, will 

 shortly have their own private system 

 of water works, having contracted with 

 the United Pump & Power Co. to equip 

 the plant with what is known as the 

 Perry pneumatic system. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that single 

 violets are practically finished, but that 

 advices from Bhinebeck indicate a large 

 supply from that source for Easter. 

 Other wholesalers concur. 



Weiland & Bisch are making prepara- 

 tions for early building. Their addition 

 is entirely for roses. 



George Reinberg will add several new 

 houses to his plant this spring, as well 

 as rebuilding a number of his oldest 

 houses. 



Scheiden & Schooc have propagated a 

 big stock of their seedling carnation. 

 It is. their intention to introduce it next 

 season.
