tained all along, that the state of the 

 market this spring is due to other causes 

 than the so-called hard times. He says 

 he believes the flower business has been 

 less affected as a consequence of last 

 fall's financial upheaval, than almost any 

 line of merchandising. 



Mr. Amling points out that, while the 

 wholesalers did not do quite as much 

 business, as measured by money value, 

 last week as in the same week a year 

 ago, the retailers must have done much 

 more than they did last year, because 

 disposition was made of a vast quantity 

 of stock, a much greater quantity than 

 was sold last year. All this found its 

 way to the public through one channel or 

 another. Mr. Amling says he believes 

 retail prices were not specially lower than 

 last year and that the public must there- 

 fore have spent a much larger sum for 

 flowers than it did for Memorial day in 

 1907. 



Various Notes. 



The Republican national convention 

 will be held in Chicago June 16 and 

 the following days. It will crowd the 

 city and will doubtless bring some extra 



business to the Hauswirth store and 

 others similarly located, but, as a general 

 proposition, such events interfere with 

 and reduce the general run of business. 

 If appears that the more excitement 

 there is the less thought people give 

 to buying flowers. 



Weiland & Risch expect to plant their 

 new range at Evanston by June 15. 

 They are making rapid progress. 



W. E. Lynch, at E. H. Hunt's, says 

 the Decora.tion day business was the best 

 they ever had, in spite of the low prices. 



Phil Schupp says that J. A. Budlong 's 

 receipts of carnations last week were 

 approximately 90,000. 



On the evening of Friday, May 29, 

 in the midst of a heavy rain, thieves 

 with a horse and wagon burglarized 

 one of Peter Reinberg's storage rooms 

 and carried off at least a thousand roses. 

 It is thought they were looking for the 

 day's cut of Mrs. Field but failed to 

 find it, as it had already been sold, and 

 took Richmond instead! 



The A. L. Randall Co. reports that May 

 28 and 29 were considerably the largest 

 days in its history in quantity of stock 

 handled, exceeding last year in the money 



value of sales for those two days, but 

 the rest of the week fell below last 

 year. 



Wietor Bros, say that, judging from 

 their business in mum cuttings, there 

 should be plenty of stock in the autumn, 

 and many buyers do not order until the 

 stock is in 2-inch pots, which will not be 

 until the middle of June. 



One grower, who did not ship heavily 

 and said carnation crops were going off, 

 managed to send in 52,000 May 28 and 

 29. Many of them were white and would 

 have realized more money if sent in 

 when ready. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. reports a 

 fair season in its seed department, and 

 a splendid plant business in the last fort- 

 night. The seed business is about over, 

 but they expect to do something with 

 plants all through June. 



Vaughan & Sperry, who are located in 

 the Flower Growers' market, say their 

 experience was the reverse of that of 

 most of the houses, in that May 29 

 with tbem was a considerably heavier 

 day than May 28. 



George Walther, on Sixty-third street, 

 reports an excellent Memorial day busi-
