 at 273 Dearborn street, occupied for a 

 few weeks by the Eaton Flower Shop.

 the other.

 recover from the spring depression, but 

 that they got there finally. 



Peter Reinberg's cut is at the lowest 

 of the season ; only one wagon-load a day 

 is now sent in, reaching the store at 

 about 10 a. m. 



Bassett & Washburn have a house of 

 cold storage giganteum lilies, from 

 which they are beginning to cut. The 

 bulbs were started four cases a week 

 until the house was filled, so they expect 

 the blooming to continue through August 

 and September.

 in the fall. He is still a few days be- 

 hind on work owing to the late spring, 

 but ferns, cyclamen, peppers, etc., in 

 great variety are in fine condition. 



The presence of Edward Roehrs in
