property than they have been recently. 

 The losses which occurred in the early 

 part of June have caused many grow- 

 ers to throw out most of their stock, 

 with the result that the supply is much 

 reduced and the average quality of the 

 stock coming in is considerably im- 

 proved. Naturally, carnations do not 

 now have the midwinter size, but there 

 is nice, clean stock in the market and it 

 is selling as well as could be expected 

 under the circumstances. Many buy- 

 ers have not ordered carnations since 

 their experiences at Memorial day. 



Sweet peas are much less plentiful 

 than they were. There is some clean 

 stock from indoors, but the stems are 

 short. Easter lilies continue over- 

 abundant. Valley is fairly plentiful 

 and selling well. Cattleyas have again 

 sprung into demand. Since last report 

 candidums have come in heavily. They 

 are slow sale and June 19 the principal 

 Michigan shipper was in town arrang- 

 ing for the cold storage of his flowers. 



The peonies are cleaning up rapidly. 

 The last few days there has been excel- 

 lent sale for really good peonies, though 

 scarcely any chance of moving the shak- 

 ers and the ones that are beginning to 

 show rot on the outside petal. Gladioli 

 are abundant and are not selling spe- 

 cially well. The new crop eastern ferns 

 are in and prices are down another 

 notch. 



Will Double Glass. 



It was reported in The Review for 

 November 17 that Wendland & Keimel, 

 at Elmhurst, had taken advantage of a 

 drop in the market to buy about five 

 cars of glass, or enough, when erected, 

 to more than double their establishment. 

 A contract calling for early delivery 

 was made, June 15, with the Foley Mfg. 

 Co., for roof bars, gutter, etc. The ad- 

 dition will consist of ten houses 34x200 

 and one house 27x200. They now have 

 ten houses 27x200, all in Killarneys. 

 The plan is to have the new houses up 

 before cold weather comes. The flat 

 rafter will be used, and the Foley chan- 

 nel steel gutter with malleable iron bar 

 clips. The Wendland & Keimel output 

 is marketed by the E. C. Amling Co., 

 and the new range, when it begins to 

 produce, will make another important 

 addition to the rose supply of that com-

Various Notes. 



The Poehlmann brothers were called 

 to Milwaukee by the death of their 

 mother June 16, the funeral being held 

 Monday, June 19. The family now con- 

 sists of five sons and a daughter, with 

 whom the mother lived. The sons are 

 Gus, Adolph, George, John and August, 

 all but one florists. 



E. E. Pieser was downtown June 19, 

 but the doctors told " him to stay at 

 home the rest of the week, which is 

 harder than working for a man of such 

 fixed habits. 



Kyle & Foerster say they sold more 

 peonies June 17 than on any other one 

 day since they started in business, ex- 

 cepting of course Memorial day. 



William Wienhoeber, now with Alex. 

 McConnell, New York, will return to 

 Chicago by the opening of the autumn 

 season-and take his place with the E. 

 Wienhoeber Co. 



It is reported that Peter Reinberg re- 

 cently has acquired forty acres near the 

 intersection of Lincoln and Peterson 



avenues, on which greenhouses may b© 

 erected. 



At J. A, Budlong's Phil Schupp saya 

 Kaiserin, Jardine and Maryland are in 

 special request. 



Paul M. Bryant now signs as secre- 

 tary of the E. H. Hunt corporation. 



Miss Carrie Torgerson, who has been 

 employed for some years in the office of 

 the A. L. Randall Co., sails from New 

 York June 22, accompanying an aunt on 

 a trip to Norway. 



N. J. Wietor and John Sinner leave 

 June 23 for a fortnight's outing at 

 White Sand Lake, in Wisconsin. 



June 19 Zech & Mann received the 

 first auratum lilies of the season, grown 

 by Matt Mann. 



A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry^ 

 made a trip to New Castle last week 

 to visit the Beauty growers. He say» 

 the South Park Floral Co., now having 

 taken back the range leased to the 

 Dingee & Conard Co., has 80,000 Beauty 

 plants. 



C. L. Washburn says last June was an 

 exceptionally good one, because of 

 weather conditions. He thinks that if 

 the trade will make comparisons with
