is said that geraniums in good flower are 

 hard to find, a great many growers being 

 so behind with their stock that it will not 

 be in bloom until well along in June, 

 when there is likely to be a surplus, for 

 buyers demand geraniums in bloom when 

 delivered to them. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. says orders for 

 roses are coming in briskly, and the pros- 

 pect is for extremely satisfactory busi- 

 ness in this department from this time on. 



L. Baumann, of Baumann & Co., is in , 

 Europe buying florists' supplies, and 

 when last heard from was enjoying a few 

 days' rest at Baden-Baden. 



John Gormley, of Ganger & Gormley, 

 says the business situation looks good to 

 him. He not only expects a large Memo- 

 rial day trade, but is figuring on a big 

 June, with the annual crop of spring wed- 

 dings. 



At Peter Keinberg's "farm" on Lin- 

 coln avenue, the posts are set and the 

 gutters up for four new carnation houses. 

 The posts are of concrete, made by the 

 regular employees, and so far as known 

 the first concrete posts used in this vicin- 

 ity for ridge and furrow houses. 



C. W. McKellar predicts that boxwood 

 will shortly join the common ferns in the 

 aristocratic class. He says the supply is 

 nearly used up, and prices will therefore 

 advance. 



Percy Jones says Aristocrat has come 

 to the front in the last few weeks as the 

 best carnation on the market. 



John Zech is specially well pleased with 

 some of the Maids and Brides Zech & 

 Mann have been receiving the last few 

 days. The Maids have excellent color. 



E. A. Biehl, of Alton, has shipped the 

 J. B. Deamud Co. many thousands of 

 peonies in the last few days. 



Emil Sigwalt built two houses at Ar- 

 lington Heights two years ago, and has 

 since had such good success growing car- 

 nations that he will add another house 

 this season. 



Scott G. Randall, of Eedlands, Gal., is 

 visiting his brothers, A. L. and W. W. 

 Randall, accompanied by his daughter. 

 It is twenty-two years since the Randall 

 brothers have met, and introductions were 

 necessary. Mr. Randall is on his way to 

 the old home of the family in western 

 Pennsylvania. 



E. "C. Amling says it is notable the 

 proportion of carnations called for on

advance orders for Decoration day. They 

 all run far heavier for carnations than 

 for any other flower. 



E. H. Hunt has just issued a new 

 booklet describing the concrete benches 

 built with the improved Wittbold de- 

 vices for which the firm is sales agent. 

 Experience with concrete construction 

 has resulted in a number of modifica- 

 tions to simplify and cheapen construc- 

 tion. 



Vaughan & Sperry report that by May 

 21 this year their sales were in excess of 

 the total for the month in 1908. 



Weiland & Risch feel more confidence 

 in the call for white carnations than do 

 most of the wholesalers. They say the 

 fomparative scarcity of jasmine will 

 turn many orders for white to carnations. 



Wietor Bros, consider themselves for- 

 tunate in having a good cut of Victory, 

 but say orders for red would consume 

 many times what any grower can supply. 

 Once upon a time growers thought Memo- 

 rial day called for white, but now buyers 

 would take all red if they could get them. 



The Thompson case occupied the at- 

 tention of the Federal court again 

 May 25. 



The E. r. Winterson Co. received the 

 first cape jasmines of the season May 21, 

 and they sold well. Mr. Winterson says 

 he expects at least 25,000 this week, in 

 spite of the lateness of the crop in Texas. 



C. L. Washburn said Monday that he 

 considered the condition of the cut flower 

 market as eminently satisfactory; busi- 

 ness as brisk as could be expected at this 

 date, with exceptionally heavy orders for
