end of tbe business. Now the mail 

 orders are so large an item that a 

 greenhouse book has been issued. 



The Hoerber brothers have exchanged 

 residences and duties. F. C. now lives 

 in town and is in the store, while W. F. 

 lives at the greenhouses at Des Plaines 

 and oversees the work there.

 signments of cattleyas from Maine.

 mer business this year will be even 

 better than last season. 



C. W. McKellar notes an increasing 

 use of Cattleya Mossise in wedding

Wietor Bros, are planting another 

 range with Beauties. A cut will soon 

 be coming from the earlier planted 

 houses. 



W. J. Smyth and Mrs. Smyth are 

 planning a summer trip to the Pacific 

 coast. 



L. Baumann is in "little Paradise." 

 At least a postal from him at Baden- 

 Baden, Germany, states that it is popu- 

 larly given that name and Mr. Bau- 

 mann says it deserves it. He reports 

 success in his quest for florists' nov- 

 elties. 



That artificial flowers are finding a 

 place with many florists is the opinion 

 of the Chicago Artificial Flower Co. 

 Artificial garlands and sprays seem to 

 meet with special favor for automobile 

 decorations for floral parades. 



The death of Mrs. Mary Hanson, wife 

 of Hubert Hanson, for many years in 

 the flower business, is recorded in the 

 obituary column this week.

 weather all the week was hard on cut
