To the Trade: 



Realizing that the unprecedented heat May 25 to 

 29 would impair the carrying quality jpf all. flow- 

 ers?'^ we took evgry^possil)le precaution I9 have 

 our stock go out in good condition. Our Peonies were taken ii^rect to <y)ld storage, there 

 sorted^ e\er^, lw|n<)Ji insp<(C.ted,^jrrapped, packafl and shipped, all in \^ ^emperature of, 

 40 degrees — no cartage to ^nd from, the store, no exposure to the heat while in our hands. . 

 This is an example of Hunt's methods— we try to meet conditions as they arise.

Customers at Zech & Maon's noted a 

 new hand on Memorial day, but those 

 who investigated found it was Matt 

 Mann minus his moustache. " 



The Chicago Carnation Co. began cut- 

 ting its big crop of peonies at Joliet 

 during last week's heat wave. 



At J. A. Budlong's, Phil Schupp re- 

 ports having made Memorial day ship- 

 ments to a customer at Baker City, 

 Ore., who had been well pleased with 

 the stock received at Easter. 



Bassett & Washburn cut peonies at 

 their field at Hinsdale for Memorial day, 

 the first time on record. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co., as usual, fed 

 its staff of workers at the Perfecto dur- 

 ing the Memorial day rush. It is the 

 practice of the firm to set a special 

 table for the store crew, reinforced by 

 men from the greenhouses. 



It has been decided that the Florists' 

 Club will postpone its departure to Mil- 

 waukee this evening, June 1, till the 

 5:30 car from Evanston. It was found 

 that many who wanted to go could not 

 leave earlier. As this gives only a brief 

 stay in Milwaukee, it is feared the party 

 will not be a large one. 



E. E; Pieser says that if the weather 

 had not broken records, Kennicott Bros. 

 Co. would have don^ so for Memorial 

 day. ♦ rh. 



W.pE. Lynch Floral Cq," is busy plant- 

 ing' asters this week, ttjl^ seven acres of 

 cabbage! Construction on the green- 

 houses will begin shortly. 



W. W. Bandall was in a wreck on the 

 Illinois Central, between Galena and 

 Dubuque, last week. While the train 

 was going at high speed the driving rods 

 on the locomotive both broke, practically 

 demolishing the engine. Mr. Bandall 

 was in the next car back.
