At the center of the pergola was a 

 marble bench and in front a lawn of 

 live sphagnum. In front of the bench 

 and in the lawn was an oval bed of 

 Baby Rambler and White Baby Ram- 

 bler, while apparently planted on the 

 lawn were some fine specimens of Hia- 

 watha. No other ^lant than the rose 

 was used in the window. 



Had one, admiring Samuelson's win- 

 dow, gone a few steps down the avenue, 

 to Chase's, he then would have seen the 

 Alpha and the Omega of the flower busi- 

 ness. 



Various Notes. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. has placed an 

 order with the Pittsburg Plate Glass 

 Co. for two carloads of glass for its 

 1908 addition. 



Friday, April 24, is "clean-up" day. 

 Mayor Busse has issued a proclamation 

 "'ging all citizens to help clean up their 

 premises that day. 



N. J. Wietor says Easter was much 



better than he expected, but that it 

 looks to him as though stock will be 

 overabundant until replanting commences. 



The A. L. Randall Co. lays claim to 

 the one absolute novelty of the Easter 

 season. It consisted of bunches of yel- 

 low chrysanthemums, grown by J. F. 

 Klimmer, at Oak Park, and so far as 

 reports go, the only chrysanthemums ever 

 seen in this market in April. They han- 

 dled more violets than at any other 

 Easter. 



At E. H. Hunt's they have been han- 

 dling cut spikes of gladioli for many 

 weeks and now the supply has become 

 large. W. E. Lynch says it looks as 

 though the gladiolus would shortly be- 

 come an all the year around flower, just 

 as the Easter lily has. Hunt's received 

 some specially fine arbutus just in sea- 

 son for the Easter business. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. has a grower whose 

 special crop is "miniature" calla lilies. 

 The first for the season came in just 

 at Easter. Wienhoeber used these small 

 callas in green stone handled baskets of 



appropriate size, with a bow of green 

 ribbon on the handle, and found them 

 good sellers at Easter. Kennicott 's did 

 a big business with irises April 18. 



Ned Washburn was down from Madi- 

 son, where he is completing his course 

 this year in the agricultural college, to 

 help out during the Easter rush at Bas- 

 sett & Washburn's. 



H. S. Morton, who has been located at 

 96 East Thirty-first street and doing a 

 prosperous business, has acquired the 

 store of the late Alfred Hildred at 3033 

 Indiana avenue and did a nice business 

 there for Easter. He has a greenhouse 

 establishment at Rockford, 111., from 

 which he gets considerable stock for tlie 

 city stores. 



Frank Oechslin had the largest stock 

 of flowering plants in his history and 

 sold them all for Easter. Prices were 

 not quite so high as at some other Easters, 

 but he thinks it a most successful season. 

 He is not only master of the growing 

 end, but also is an adept salesman and 

 organizer. A further increase in the
