Mention The Review when you write. 



The action was taken at the conclusion of 

 Thompson's examination without any 

 other witness being sworn, it having been 

 intimated to Judge Landis that the pro- 

 ceedings in bankruptcy were inspired by 

 Thompson himself. The Joliet News says 

 Thompson took this step in a moment 

 of anger brought about through a fam- 

 ily quarrel. At any rate, the petition 

 was filed only a few days after Judge 

 Dibell, at Joliet, had restrained Thomp- 

 son from carrying out certain projects 

 outlined in notices Thompson had given 

 the other stockholders. 



At the hearing in the United States 

 court it was brought out that the assets 

 shown on the books amount to about 

 $60,000 and the indebtedness less than 

 $11,000. It also was shown that while 

 J. p. Thompson was president and su- 

 perintendent of the company at a salary 

 of $2,100 a year, he opened a retail 

 store and bought flowers from his own 

 corporation and sold them to himself. 

 He then claimed the profits of the retail 

 business as his own. 



The case now pending at Joliet is 

 expected to, in a degree, straighten out 

 the affairs of the company, which are 

 involved in the settlement of the estate 

 of Thompson's mother, who died some 

 two years ago. 



At Maywood. 



The Albert F. Amling Co. is building 

 five greenhouses, 25x300 feet, boiler room 

 40x45, cooling and packing room 45x50, 

 chimney 8x100 feet. Two tubular steam 

 boilers 6x18 feet are being installed. 

 The houses are to be planted to Beauties. 

 A residence for the senior member of 

 the firm is also being built, the total ex- 

 penditures to be about $25,000. The old 

 place is now almost entirely planted to 

 green goods, in tip-top condition, espe- 

 cially the range of asparagus houses. 

 These never were any better, extra heavy 

 strings up to fifteen feet long being cut. 



Henry Wehrman has invested a part 

 of his surplus in a fine four-cylinder tour- 

 ing automobile. He is at present busy 

 planting out his asters, a superior strain 

 of his own. California poppies, sweet 

 peas, mignonette and carnations were his 

 winter crop, now followed by a liberal 

 planting of chrysanthemums. 



Across the street, on the place formerly 

 owned by Wm. Collatz, Wm. Amling, a 

 former Milwaukee school teacher, is hav- 

 ing his first year's experience in running 

 a greenhouse. He has had such splendid 

 success that he says he never will go back 

 to the famous city. He has at present 

 the finest Enchantress and Lords imag- 

 inable, and his sweet peas are a sight 

 worth seeing. 



Various Notes. 



C. W. McKellar was called to Chillicothe, 

 O., last week to attend the funeral of 

 his brother, Arthur, the youngest of five 

 sons of the family. He was twenty-six 

 years of age. 



The Poehlmann Bros. Co. is just now 

 making a remarkable cut of long-stemmed 

 Eichmond roses. Twice a day the city 

 store receives several hundreds of fine 

 flowers on stems from thirty-six to forty- 

 eight inches long. They never have 

 cut so large a proportion of this grade. 

 Retailers who can use them are very will- 

 ing to pay $2 per dozen. 



Fred Lautenschlager returned May 20 

 from a trip of several months through 

 the east in the interest of the Kroeschell 

 Bros. Co. 



Sol Garland, Jr., says the growers at 

 Des Plaines are having their own troubles 

 in getting the carnations into the field. 

 His own stock is on sandy land and he 

 has made fair progress in planting, but 

 those who are on heavy soil have only 

 made a beginning at the w'ork. 



It is interesting to note that Mike 

 Winandy is back in the harness again. 

 He has been given the contract for erect- 

 ing the six new greenhouses to be built 

 this season by Weiland & Riscb, at 

 Evanston. The houses are 27x192, and 

 the owners supply all material, Winandy
