establishment of Engledew & Co., at 

 Geneva, has been sending in some excel- 

 lent peonies. 



At Maywood, June 13, unlucky day, 

 the village authorities arrested practi- 

 cally every automobilist who ventured 

 abroad in the town; a snail's pace was 

 exceeding the speed limit. Most of the 

 victims were Chicago people, and it prob- 

 ably vyas only by accident that Henry 

 Wehrman was gathered in. He says the 

 preliminary in such a case is to pay a 

 dollar for the privilege of giving a bail 

 bond. 



A, L. Eandall and W. W. Eandall were 

 at West Springfield, Pa., the early part 

 of this week to attend a family reunion; 

 the sons had not all been at home to- 

 gether in more than twenty years. 



The Peterson Nursery sent its first 

 peonies of the season to the A. L. Ran- 

 dall Co., June 14. 



Percy Jones says some of his best car- 



nation customers tell him the high prices 

 they were obliged to charge at Decora- 

 tion day scared the buyers off and that 

 there has been little call for carnations 

 since May 30, while other stock has con- 

 tinued in the usual demand. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. notes that the 

 summer travel to Michigan resorts is at 

 last beginning. As soon as the cottagers 

 begin going over, Winterson 's have a 

 run of buyers picking up bedding plants 

 just at boat time. 



E. C. Amling notes a special call this 

 week for lavender sweet peas. He had 

 one order for 5,000, and several for thou- 

 sand lots, all of this color, for class ex- 

 ercises. 



E. B. Washburn returned Saturday 

 from a week 's trip to New York. 



The June issue of Concrete, a journal 

 published in the interest of the cement 

 industry, contains an illustrated article 

 by Charles Morrison Dickinson. It need 



hardly be added that it is descriptive of 

 a certain system of building greenhouse 

 benches. 



Bassett & Washburn cut heavily of 

 peonies last week, and so did most of the 

 growers south and west of Chicago, but 

 it was not until early this week that 

 those north and northwest of town got 

 under way. 



Robert Northam, of George Reinberg's 

 force, is visiting at his old home at Iron 

 River, Wis. 



The John C. Moninger Co. reports that 

 during last week they received more in- 

 quiries from prospective greenhouse 

 builders than in any previous week ixx 

 the history of the concern. They say the 

 greephouse building this year will break 

 all records. Before another season they 

 will have largely increased their facili- 

 ties by erecting a new building. 



Up to the last few days, Zech & Mann 

 have had excellent success in marketing 

 their annual crop of red gladioli, but ad- 

 vance orders no longer take them all. 



E. H. Riehl, of Alton, was in town this 

 week. He reports the best peony season 

 he ever has had, because he got his en- 

 tire crop in during the week before Me- 

 morial day. 



Peter Reinberg bought 2,500 plants of 

 My Maryland rose of the originator last 

 year and was busy propagating during 

 the winter. He not only worked up stock 

 for his own planting, but had some to 

 wholesale. 



C. W. McKellar says the heavy crop of 

 Cattleya Mossise is off and orchid prices 

 are advancing. 



Vaughan & Sperry are gradually get- 

 ting into shape in their new quarters. 

 A neat and commodious oflBce is the 

 latest addition to the facilities. 



A. Weaver, of Massillon, O., was in 

 town this week buying bedding stock, 

 having sold out his own supply. 



H. C. Metz, of Odell, 111., was in town 

 this week, getting prices on materials 

 for an addition to his glass, and buying 

 supplies to replace a stock happily de- 

 pleted by a big spring business. 



Secretary L. H. Winterson will not 

 issue the new club by-laws and list of 

 members' addresses until after the elec- 

 tion of officers to take place at the next 

 meeting.
