Louis Winkleman, who handles the 

 Beauties in the wholesale store of Bas- 

 sett & Washburn, has the sympathy of 

 the boys in the market because of the 

 death of his father April 11, at the age 

 of 75 years. Bassett & Washburn sent 

 a handsome spray to the funeral April 14. 



Weiland & Eisch are using a cash 

 register and have ordered a new ma- 

 chine which will do almost everything 

 except voice an opinion of the customers 

 who do not pay as promptly as they 

 might. 



O. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett reached 

 home April 12, after a sojourn of sev- 

 eral months in the vicinity of Pasa- 

 dena, Cal. Mr. Bassett says he has 

 seen no spot in Egypt or along the 

 northern shore of the Mediterranean that 

 would suit him as well as Pasadena for 

 a winter residence and he intends to 

 make a longer stay next season. 



Carl N. Thomas came all the way from 

 West Springfield, Pa., to take a hand in 

 the Easter rush at Randall's. He will 

 return to the farm by April 20. 



Peter Reinberg spent several days last 



week with the committee on organization 

 of the city council, which was in session 

 at West Baden. Mr. Reinberg is chair- 

 man of the committee on streets and 

 alleys north in the new council. 



The residence of the widow of Gen. 

 C. H. Howard, at Glencoe, was destroyed 

 by fire April 11. The flames were dis- 

 covered by Miss Nina Howard, who is 

 well known as the grower of the "Glen- 

 coe violets." 



The A. L. Randall Co. says the sales 

 of Easter supplies have been fully up to 

 their anticipations and that they are well 

 cleaned up on all specialties for the day. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that the mail 

 orders for fertilizers are coming along ' 

 at a rate considerably in advance of 

 last year. 



C. W. McKellar says his grower advises 

 him that there will be a good crop of 

 cattleyas on soon now, just in time for 

 the spring weddings. 



Wietor Bros, say that they ran their 

 carnation houses practically without shad- 

 ing until April 12, but the sun that 

 day was so strong they had to put shade 



on for such sorts as Lawson. There were 

 sixteen days in March on which the sun 

 did not shine and rose crops have not 

 come on as fast as expected. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. says the shipping 

 business at the opening of the week was 

 much more active than the local trade. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. reports having 

 shipped quite a number of lily plants 

 in the last week. The possibilities of 

 doing business in this market are shown 

 by the fact that heavy lilies in pots have 

 been expressed both to Texas and Minne- 

 sota. 



Miss Eaton and Charles Balluflf have 

 been in New York buying stock. 



Al Marine, of Wittbold's Clark street 

 store, is going to Denver, to enter the 

 employ of the Park Floral Co. 



A. Siegel, of St. Louis, was a visitor 

 April 14. He says the prospects in his 

 town are for a good Easter. 



Andrew McAdams has returned from 

 Florida and has plunged into the Easter 

 rush with renewed vigor. 



Wichita, Kans.— W. E. Bidleman has 

 just completed a range of greenhouses 

 covering 140x150 feet.
