 removed and Mr. Then's condition was 

 serious, but now he is in better health 

 than in many years, although not back 

 to normal strength. He leaves this

the motto of W. F. 



Schofield, 734 North State street, who 

 won the democratic nomination for 

 alderman in the Twenty-first ward 

 February 24 on his third attempt. Jean 

 E. Franke, retail florist at 760 Mil- 

 waukee avenue, was not opposed for 

 the republican aldermanic nomination 

 in the Seventeenth ward, so there will 

 be two candidates representing the 

 trade in the April election. 



The real estate sections of the Sun- 

 day papers reported the sale of the 

 plant of the Star Floral Co., in the 

 February 22 issue, in the following 

 language: "Herman F. Schuettler, 

 first deputy superintendent of police, 

 has sold to Aaron T. Fyfer and Peter 

 A. Olsem a tract of a little less than 

 ten acres on Wilmette avenue for $53,- 

 000. The improvements comprise a resi- 

 dence, barns and greenhouses. The 

 grantees agree not to convey the six 

 acres in and around the buildings now 

 erected on said premises prior to the 

 payment of eleven notes aggregating 

 $43,000 and the release of trust deeds 

 of even date therewith. ' ' 



About ninety per cent of the cut 

 flower shipments of Bassett & Wash- 

 burn now go out in the waterproof cor- 

 rugated fiber board boxes made by the 

 Sefton Mfg. Co. The boxes are rigidly 

 stapled by a foot power machine manu- 

 factured by the Judson L. Thomson Co., 

 Waltham, Mass. The flowers are cleated 

 into the paper boxes the same as in 

 wood boxes, pimply using a special 

 large-headed nail, and the boxes are 

 iced the same as was the custom when 

 wood boxes were used exclusively. 

 Most of the firm's customers are said 

 to prefer receiving their stock in the 

 paper boxes, because of the lighter 

 weight, but the ten per cent of the 

 customers who want their shipments to 

 arrive in the old style wood package 

 are accommodated. 



The new Maryland carnation, Mrs. 

 C. E. Akehurst, shown at Cleveland 

 looked as good as anything in sight. 

 Among those who placed orders for it.

A fine vase of Carnation Philadel- 

 phia stood for several days last week 

 in the store of "Wietor Bros., attracting 

 much attention. "Weiland & Eisch liked 

 its looks 80 well they increased their 

 order for stock. 



Occasionally a grower tries to use 

 Harrisii bulbs for winter lilies, think- 

 ing he gets more flowers, but Kyle & 

 Foerster say it is a great mistake, as 

 the stock does not compare with blooms 

 from giganteum or Formosa bulbs and 

 the grower losef out in the end. 



"With the arrival of Lent, considera- 

 tion is turning to the prospect for 

 Easter crops. John Michelsen, of the 

 E. C. Amling Co., thinks conditions are 

 such that there will be only moderate 

 supplies of roses and American Beau- 

 ties, but that carnations, sweet peas

and violets will be plentiful. It is a 

 little early to figure definitely on lilies, 

 but about the usual quantities are be- 

 ing grown. 



The first Mississippi jonquils of the 

 season were reported last week by Ken- 

 nicott Bros. Go The weather in Mis- 

 sissippi also has been unfavorable and 

 the outdoor stock is just a little off 

 grade, the same as most of the green- 

 house bulbous stock. The southern jon- 

 quils never sell well in wintry weather.
