day sales closely approximated those of 

 Christmas. Figuring on the difference 

 in prices, he estimates that more than 

 twice and possibly nearly three times 

 as many flowers were handled. 



Through the death of W. E. Kelley, 

 W. N. Rudd becomes president of the 

 Horticultural Society of Chicago. The 

 vice-presidents elected last January, 

 in the order named, were W. N. Rudd, 

 E. "Wienhoeber and August Poehlmann. 



C. I». Washburn says that Bassett & 

 Washburn sold more roses May 27 and 

 28 than in any two days of the previous 

 history of the concern. 



O. W. Frese has left Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., after a connection of several years' 

 duration. 



Gus Alles says that Memorial day 

 with Wietor Bros, was better than any- 

 one about the place expected. They 

 weie lucky in having a fine crop of red 

 carnations. 



The automatic telephone people are 

 working hard to get the wholesalers 

 and the retailers in the downtown dis- 

 trict to let new instruments be in- 

 stalled, but are meeting with little suc- 

 cess. When the automatic phone was 

 first offered nearly everyone in the 

 wholesale section put it in, but it was 

 not long before it was recognized that 

 two telephone systems simply are a 

 nuisance. 



C. M. Dickinson says that E. H. 

 Hunt's cut flower sales for May 27, 

 28 and 29 were twenty per cent ahead 

 of the same three days last year, prin- 

 cipally because of larger supplies of 

 peonies. 



Mrs. Moore, who sells for N. C. Moore 

 & Co. in the Flower Growers' Market, 

 has had a bad time with her right hand 

 for three weeks as the result of poison- 

 ing caused, she thinks, by handling 

 Sprengeri. 



E. F. Winterson Co. had 1,000 pond 

 lilies for Memorial day, probably the 

 first time these flowers ever were 

 offered in quantity so early. 



The Florists' Club holds its monthly 

 meeting at the Union restaurant to- 

 night, June 2. Secretary L. H. Winter- 

 soiB states that he will have a proof of 

 the new by-laws and roster and hopes 

 to get the pamphlet out right after this 

 meeting. Club buttons are for salenby 

 the secretary, price 50 cents.
