"'enMon The Review when vou write 



There are some quite fair roses, heat 

 considered, and the best sell well. 

 Maryland is fair and good Kaiserin is 

 coming in, though White Killarney still 

 predominates. Killarney itself contin- 

 ues abundant and some nice, clean 

 stock is to be had, though an uncom- 

 fortable proportion of the receipts are 

 open. On the whole, however, the 

 quality of roses is as good as could be 

 expected. 



Carnations have improved in spite of 

 the heat; they seem to have become ac- 

 climated. Of course the flowers are 

 small. Last week's averages were so 

 low that probably the growers will 

 quickly throw out the stock that is 

 giving the lower grade of blooms and 

 supply is expected to decrease rapidly. 

 Thus far it has been large. 



The pressure of peonies has subsided. 

 There are quantities in cold storage, 

 some of them good and some of them no 

 good. White is much more abundant 

 than good pink. The first-class stock 

 is selling well, but there is little inter- 

 est in the poorer grades. It is figured 

 that the peony season will end this 

 year a month earlier than usual. Those 

 who hold the best stock expect to be 

 cleaned out weeks ahead of last year. 



Even cattleyas have been in better 

 supply the last few days. There is an 

 abundance of Easter lilies and gladioli. 

 Valley has a fairly steady demand. 

 Sweet peas continue plentiful, but are 

 none too good. 



Smilax and asparagus strings are 

 about the only items in strong request. 

 New Michigan ferns are in and prices 

 have dropped. 



Various Notes. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. received the first 

 asters of the season last week. 



P. N. Obertin and wife, of Kenosha, 

 were visitors at Kyle & Foerster's this 

 week. Mr. Obertin has bought land just 

 outside of Kenosha and will erect 35,- 

 000 feet of glass, opening a retail store 

 downtown. 



Miss Frances Brundage, who has 

 acted as secretary of the E. H. Hunt 

 corporation, has gone to Missouri to 

 spend the summer with a sister for the 

 purpose of benefiting her health. 



Phil Schupp says that the thermom- 

 eter in J. A. Budlong's Kaiserin house 



PERCY JONES HAS

56 E. RANDOLPH ST., CHICA60 



MentloD The Review when you write 



registered 130 degrees one day last 

 week. 



Peter Eeinberg has just received a 

 new Pierce-Arrow six-cylinder touring 

 car. He already had a French 

 limousine. 



It is said that even the ice man who 

 serves the wholesale houses was over- 

 come by the heat last week. 



George Walther reports an unusually 

 busy season in Englewood; an immense 

 amount of bedding, 



Vaughan & Sperry say they expect 

 all the peonies to be sold by the middle 

 of July this year, where last season 

 the supply lasted into August. 



O. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett ar- 

 rived June 14 from Pasadena. The 

 purpose of their trip is to buy the fur- 

 nishings for the new house now nearing 

 completion. 



Miss Minnie Wattman, of the E. C. 

 Amling Co., has gone to Alden, Mich., 

 for a fortnight's rest and recuperation. 



George Eeinberg 's automobile 

 knocked down a woman 66 years of age, 

 on the evening of June 6, and she died 

 in a hospital next day. The machine 

 was being driven by Tony, who brings 

 the cut flowers from the greenhouses 



to the store. He was going so slowly 

 that the woman was not thrown, and 

 he stopped after only the front wheels 

 had passed over her. The coroner's 

 jury held the automobilists blameless. 



Fisher's flower store at 2737 North 

 Clark street was burglarized one night 

 last week. 



Henry Van Gelder spent June 11 on 

 the lake, and between sunburn and 

 rheumatism has had an uncomfortable 

 time of it this week. 



G. Swenson, Elmhurst, who consigns 

 his output to the E. C. Amling Co., cut 

 peonies that were as good, in this year 

 of . generally below-average blooms, as 

 any he ever has had. Mr. Swenson has 

 the Skinner irrigating system and his 

 grounds always are as neat as a new 

 pin. 



John Schoepfle will tear down the 

 greenhouses back of his store on Bel- 

 mont avenue to make room for a build- 

 ing to be rented to the government to 

 use as a branch post-oflSce. 



S. Wilks Mfg. Co. made greenhouse 

 boilers for many years before building 

 its present factory at 3523 Shields 

 avenue, but has not heretofore issued 

 a special catalogue for the greenhouse
