dosed his store on Milwaukee avenue 

 and retired from the flower business. 



Bassett & Washburn say that shipping 

 trade has increased greatly in the last 

 week and has consumed everything they 

 could supply. 



A. P. Frey, head gardener at Lincoln 

 park, has placed an order with Sharp, 

 Partridge & Co. for a carload of glass 

 for the greenhouses he is building at 

 Crown Point, Ind. 



William Engbrecht, on West Twenty- 

 first street, says that his business has 

 fallen off twenty-five per cent this sea- 

 son, and others in that vicinity make 

 the same report. They say the trouble 

 lies in that they are in a neighborhood 

 of factory employees, many of whom have 

 been laid off. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. says there is 

 a rush of counter trade in the seed and 

 plant department every time the sun 

 breaks through the clouds. They have 

 recently received a shipment of large 

 bav trees. 



The Poehlmann Bros. Co. is this week 

 planting carnations in the field. Up to 

 May 12 they had not put a plant outside, 

 but a number of houses had been planted 

 with stock to be grown under glass all 

 summer. 



In the matter of the bankruptcy pe- 

 tition filed against the Drezel Floral 

 Co., a settlement was arranged with the 

 attorney for the petitioning creditors, 

 but Judge Landis, the judge who soaked 

 the Standard Oil Co., declined to sanc- 

 tion the compromise unless it had the 

 assent of all the creditors, and the at- 

 torneys are still seeking a way of adjust- 

 ment. 



The A. L. Eandall Co. has been receiv- 

 ing some excellent pink double stocks, 

 which generally have sold out clean the 

 moment the city buyers saw them. 



B, G. Shaw, of the Shaw Fern Co., 

 Pittsfield, Mass., has been in town this 

 week. 



C. W. McKellar reports excellent busi- 

 ness with orchids. He says the demand 



is excellent and Cattleya Mossise is noir 

 in full crop. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. says there con- 

 tinues to be a remarkable call for green 

 goods. All this season they have done 

 more than ever before in this line, espe- 

 cially with ferns and boxwood. 



Peter Eeinberg is beginning to cut 

 heavily on the new crop of Mrs. Mar- 

 shall Field rose. 



For many in the Chicago market there 

 is special interest in the pictures of 

 Sam Graff's store at Seattle, which ap- 

 pear elsewhere in this issue. 



Fritz Bahr says business is good at 

 Highland Park. When the weather per- 

 mits outside work, he is keeping about 

 thirty-five men going on landscaping. 



One of the week's visitors was George 

 L. Pennock, of Pennock Bros., Philadel- 

 phia. He was interested in the methods 

 used in growing Beauties for this market. 



The George Wittbold Co. is erecting 

 a new concrete wall across the south 

 end of its Buckingham place houses^
