ent is a sight. The flowers are of large 

 size, and he gets from four to eight open 

 at a time on each spike. The first sold 

 for $2 a dozen, and as the crop was 

 grown cool, he figures there will be a 

 good profit in the big cut this week, even 

 if it brings considerably less than the 

 first few hundred did. The only trouble 

 with the Mrs. Francis King gladiolus for 

 indoor flowering is that it is just a little 

 weak in stem. 



Vaughan & Sperry Move. 



Vaughan & Sperry are this week tran- 

 sacting business in their new double store 

 in the basement at 52 and 54 Wabash 



avenue. How this excellent location hap- 

 pened to be so long overlooked by whole- 

 sale florists is one of the things which is 

 puzzling the market. Desirable spaces 

 have been scarce in that locality. True, 

 the building has been remodeled, but it 

 seems strange no one found this store 

 before, for it is one of the best in the 

 district. It is large, the light is good, 

 and there is valuable cool room space 

 under the sidewalk. It is under the walk 

 that Vaughan & Sperry have built their 

 big new ice-box. It will be some little 

 time yet before they get all the equip- 

 ment complete. Their lease in the Flower 

 Growers' Market runs to October 1, and 



they will continue their stand there for a 

 time. 



Adam Ziska, one of the largest manu- 

 facturers of wire work for this market, 

 has taken space in the basement with 

 Vaughan & Sperry. He heretofore has 

 had space with J. B. Deamud Co., and 

 another wire factory two blocks west, on 

 Dearborn street, but will now concentrate 

 at 52 and 54 Wabash avenue. 



Variotu Note*. 



No great amount of bedding out has 



yet been done, but it is reported that 



vincas are scarce, great numbers now
