night. He has several growers of this 

 specialty and has sold as much as $80 

 for one man in one day. 



W, H. Hilton expects to go to Colo- 

 rado ahout the end of June to spend the 

 summer. 



In last week 's Review there was a note 

 under the Pittsburg heading of special 

 interest to Chicago. It read: "Mr. and 

 Mrs. Gustave Ludwig have announced 

 the engagement of their daughter, Miss 

 Lena Ludwig, to Victor F. Bergman, 

 of Chicago. The engagement will ter- 

 minate in a June wedding." Mr, Berg- 

 man is one of E. Wienhoeber's right 

 hand men. 



At Klehm 's Nurseries work is under 

 high pressure this week. This is one 

 of the places where the handling of 

 peonies is thoroughly understood. The 

 heat has made rapid work necessary. At 

 present the stock is being divided be- 

 tween Kennicott Bros. Co., Percy Jones, 

 and cold storage. 



N. J. "Wietor says that the most im- 

 portant thing the craft can undertake 

 Is to get the use of flowers sanctioned 

 at the local school closings. There is 

 no question but that the ban placed 



on flowers a few years ago has cost the 

 trade many thousands of dollars each 

 June. 



E. H. Hunt reports that the violet sea- 

 son closed this year May 25, which is 

 several weeks earlier than last year. 



The A. L. Randall Co. says the call 

 for such stock as can be used for wed- 

 dings and school work is good, but 

 that it is diflicult to clean up on the 

 grades of material that won't ship. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that the in- 

 creased demand for bone indicates that 

 the growers generally are replanting 

 earlier this year than usual. 



Among the week's visitors were A. L. 

 Glazer, Dubuque, la.; E, H. Hitchcock, 

 Glenwood, Mich.; Will Graflf, Columbus, 

 O., on his way to West Baden; A. E. 

 Kunderd, Fort Wayne, Ind.; J. A. Ev- 

 ans., Richmond, Ind. 



Chenoa, III. — The business of H. W. 

 Jontry has been reorganized and is now 

 conducted by M. C. Jontry and J. F. 

 Jontry, under the name of Jontry Bros. 

 They say that business was good during 

 the last season and everything was clean- 

 ed out at Decoration dav. 



NEVYOOK. 



ThtMukeL 



This week opened with a hot wave 

 which was entirely unnecessary, as the 

 cut flower market was in a wilted con- 

 dition already and the burden of exces- 

 sive shipments is more than it can well 

 carry. There is no let-up in the supply 

 of anyt,hing but white orchids. They 

 are in demand for the weddings, which 

 average dozens daily in New York and 

 Brooklyn. Price was no object Monday. 

 A prominent retailer on Broadway of- 

 fered several times the quoted rate, but 

 not a flower was obtainable. The re- 

 tailers are surely busy. With flowers 

 so reasonable there is every excuse for 

 liberal and elaborate work, and in some 

 cases there is no limit put upon the cost. 

 Warendorff utilized immense quantities 

 of white peonies and field daisies at the 

 wedding in Grace church June 10. Never 

 were peonies so abundant nor so low in 

 price. Immense lots were selling Mon- 

 day as low as $20 per thousand, and 

 this value included the leading varieties. 



Carnations are without end, appar-
