Florists' Club will be held at the Union 

 restaurant, tonight, May 7. 



C. A. Samuelson reports a gooil week 's 

 business, including a large decoration for 

 Mrs. Marshall Field May 5. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. began cutting 

 May 4 on the sedson 's crop of Gladiolus 

 Colvillei Blushing Bride, otherwise known 

 as the baby gladiolus. The sale is al- 

 ways brisk when the first come in. 



George Wagner, who has the old 

 E. Hobb's place on Indiana avenue, 

 says business is good. In gonenai, it is 

 not up to last year, but the cheaper 

 prices at which he gets stock this season 

 have made his profits fully as good as 

 ever, because in his locality there has 

 been no necessity of reduction of retail 

 l>rices. Mr. Wagner says he had the 

 best Easter business ever experienced, 

 using practically as much stock at re- 

 tail as he has retailed and wholesaled 

 in previous years. The wholesale end 

 ''onsists of bulbous stock in pans, etc. 



Weiland & Kisch are again cutting 



heavily of Killarney and Bride. They 

 grow only a few Maid. 



George Walther says business is good 

 along Sixty-third street and that he has 

 no complaint to make on the season. 



At J. A. Budlong's, Phil Schupp says 

 he sees another evidence of the value 

 of grafted roses in the present condi- 

 tion of the stock. He says the own-root 

 roses have deteriorated during the bad 

 weather, while their grafted stock, and 

 they now grow practically nothing else, 

 has maintained its quality much better. 



George Asmus reports that work was 

 begun May 4. clearing the ground for 

 the new Schiller store on West Madison 

 street. 



E. 0. Amling says there is an excel- 

 lent demand for fancy sweet peas; so 

 good, in fact, tiiat the best are bring- 

 ing as much as $2 per hundred. 



Louis Wittbohl has added to his list 

 of inventions by devising a mixer for 

 nicotilie and water, to be used in spray- 

 ing. It can be adjusted to give any 



j)roportion of nicotine desired, simply 

 loading the mixer, attaching to the hose 

 and going ahead with the spraying. 



Ole Johnson is no longer selling on 

 commission, but is in the employ of the 

 Chicago Rose Co. 



At E. H. Hunt 's they report the gen- 

 eral supply business a little quiet since 

 Easter, but a good demand for To-bak-ine 

 and for fertilizers. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. says the 

 cut flower business has been good since 

 .May 1, but that the rains have put a 

 damper on the counter trade in the seed 

 and plant department. 



C. W. McKellar says that the call 

 for orchids indicates an abundance of 

 wedding work. 



O. J. Friedman this week sent out a 

 number of large wreaths of boxwood 

 antl azalea blooms. 



Peter Reinberg says that in a few 

 days he will be cutting the finest crop of 

 the Mrs. Field rose yet produced, and
