York retail stores, and several promi- 

 nent growers of novelties. 



With the turning of the wheels still 

 six weeks away, Carl Ickes, of the 

 Ickes-Braun Mill Co., reports that the 

 first order for greenhouse material was 

 booked this week. It will go on rec- 

 ord that the new concern's first cus- 

 tomer also is a new firm, Neumann & 

 Thomas, who are just starting at Kich- 

 mond, Ind. They have just bought 

 eight acres of land and the order calls 

 for material for two houses each 150 

 feet long. 



The Burlington's Overland express 

 was wrecked just easi of Hinsdale 

 March 30. On the train following was 

 C. L. Washburn and a big wagon-load 

 of roses. The wreck blocked the line 

 for two hours, with the result that 

 Bassett & Washburn 's early shipments 

 missed their trains that (lay. 



Apparently it will be necessary to 

 change the date of Easter in order to 

 have good Beauties for the holiday. At 

 least P. C. Schupp, in comparing .1. A. 

 Budlong's advices to customers for 

 the last several years, notes that each 

 season, regardless of whether Easter 

 was early or late, buyers have been 

 told that good Beauties were scarce, 

 practically unobtainable. 



A. L. Randall and Mrs. Randall re- 

 turned March 30 from a fortnight's 

 stay at West Baden. (Miss Grace Ran- 

 dall, who was with them there, returned 

 to her studies at the University of 

 Illinois. 



The Western Art Flower Co., at 

 Fifty-fifth and S^ate streets, having 

 retired from business, Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co. has secured the services of Edward 

 Dellachies to take charge of its dye- 

 ing and perpetuated foliage depart- 

 ments. 



According to C. W. McKellar there 

 is no complaint as to business. He says 

 he has been kept on the jump for the 

 last week. The only fault he finds is 

 with the southern bulbous stock; if 

 shipments do not arrive early in the 

 morning it is impossible to clean them 

 out. 



Indiana Harbor, said to be the only 

 city of its size without a florist, now 

 has a flower store. The opening took 

 place April 1. The proprietor is D. T. 

 Matchen, for several years sales man- 

 ager, for Peter Reinberg. Mr. Matchen 

 thought a city of 20,000 population 

 without a florist offered an excellent 

 opportunity. He was able to secure a 

 well located store at 3707 Cedar street, 

 with good basement beneath it and a 

 nice suite of living rooms on the sec- 

 ond floor, and moved his family there

 short lilies, indicating that not all the 

 buyers want the length of stock that 

 seems likely to be scarce this Easter.
