stalled. The room is one of the best in 

 the wholesale district. 



E. C. Amling says the quantity of 

 stock handled last Decoration day was 

 greatly in excess of the receipts for 

 Easter, and he counts on the total num- 

 ber of flowers received in this market 

 next week being larger than a year ago, 

 and consequently the greatest quantity 

 ever sold here in one week. 



C. L. Washburn says crops are easing 

 up, and he looks for an early and sharp 

 reversal of market conditions. 



The A. L. Randall C6. reports a big 

 call for wreaths of prepared foliage and 

 for other Memorial day supplies. They 

 have no men on the road at present; the 

 supply business is all mail orders. 



Percy Jones sounds a note of warning 

 for Memorial day. * * Don 't let the white 

 accumulate; absolutely nobody wants 

 white flowers Decoration day." 



John Kmchten says he has taken on 

 three or four new shippers this week, not 



that they are needed at the moment, but 

 that he looks forward to a day when 

 conditions will be different. He is an 

 opportunist. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 says the southern peonies this year are 

 of better quality than for several sea- 

 sons, and, while orders are being booked 

 at the same prices as other years, the 

 buyers will get better value for their 

 money. The quality of the stock is due 

 partly to favorable weather conditions 

 and partly to the large new plantations 

 being now^ at an age to give perfect 

 flowers. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. reports 

 that at New Castle, Otto Benthey has or- 

 ganized the Frederick J. Benthey Co. to 

 handle the interests there. It is planned, 

 while not losing sight of the cut flower 

 end, to largely extend the local retail 

 business in plants and in garden work. 



Peter Eeinberg voices the general re- 

 port when he says that the first full week 



of May was much better than last year, 

 but that the gain has been lost during 

 the glut. Leonard Kill thinks the last 

 week of the month will be better than 

 ever before, and A. C. Spencer says it 

 will only take a little reduction in supply 

 and increase in demand to put the 

 Beauty market back on its feet. 



Frederick Sperry, of Vaughan & 

 Sperry, has been receiving congratula- 

 tions over the arrival of a son May L'5. 



Wietor Bros, are busy planting carna- 

 tions in the field. Practically all the 

 growers north of town were later than 

 usual this year in starting planting out. 



Ice, which has been costing the whole- 

 salers 15 cents a hundred pounds, was 

 boosted May 17 to 221^ cents. 



Bruno Kennicott, brother of the late 

 Flint Kennicott and Amaza Kennicott, 

 and uncle of Walter and Robert Kenni- 

 cott, died May 15 in the Presbyterian 

 hospital, after an operation for appen- 

 dicitis. He was 63 years of age, and was 

 born at the Kennicott home farm at the 

 Grove. 



Jens Jensen has opened a downtown 

 oflBce for practice as a landscape archi- 

 tect. 



At Morton Grove, Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co. is planting a part of its new range 

 with roses for an early crop, and is push- 

 ing work on the other new place. The 

 big new tile chimney is about finished. 

 Field planting of carnations is nearly 

 completed. Quite a few will be grown 

 indoors all summer. 



Weiland & Risch are cutting one of 

 the largest crops of Killarney in the his- 

 tory of the firm, which was the first to 

 grow Killarney in quantity for this mar- 

 ket. 



The Wir.terson Seed Store is as busy
