this season by the Fleischman Floral 

 Co. have come from Philadelphia. 

 George W. Wienhoeber states that, 

 plentiful and cheap as Beauties were 

 in this market last week, he neverthe- 

 less received 1,000 Philadelphia Beau- 

 ties- April 17, for his Saturday sale. 



According to W. J. Keimel, of the 

 Wendland & Keimel Co., March was 

 the first month since the first crop was 

 cut that the big Elmhurst range has 

 not shown a profit. But if you urge 

 him he will admit that items charged 

 to expense in March included 7,000 

 Killarney Brilliant, 1,500 Hadley and 

 10,000 grafted White Killarney. That's 

 some investment in rose plants. 



The retailers like the Mrs. Russell 

 rose, but E. Wienhoeber says that it 

 must be left on the plants until well 

 developed, in order to open and give 

 satisfaction to the ultimate consumer. 



In order to devote his time to the 

 affairs of the Elastic-Lyke Co., and to 

 acting as manufacturers' agent for 

 other specialties used in the trade, 

 Clifford Pruner has discontinued his 

 connection with the supply department 

 of Poehlmann Bros. Co. 



From New York today E. F. Ku- 



rowski and wife are sailing for a sum- 

 mer visit with their daughter in Ger- 

 many. 



Returning from a successful trip 

 through Iowa, Sidney Buchbinder re- 

 ports the simultaneous arrival of a 

 mail order from the Gurney Seed & 

 Nursery Co., Yankton, S. D., in re- 

 sponse to his advertisement in The 

 Review, the order calling for the ship- 

 ment of a refrigerator within three 

 days or the return of the check en- 

 closed. The refrigerator probably is 

 full of flowers by now. 



The death of Mrs. Fred Blesing, wife 

 of a Park Ridge grower of single vio- 

 lets, which occurred April 20, is re- 

 ported by John Michelsen, of the E. C. 

 Amling Co. Mrs. Blesing had been ill 

 a long time. She was a half-sister of 

 Mrs. C. H. Fisk. 



After having looked into the subject 

 with considerable thoroughness, Fred 

 Klingel, of Erne & Klingel, declares 

 his belief that florists as a class are 

 enjoying better business than almost 

 any other trade in the country. 



April 18 was a record day for Win- 

 terson's Seed Store. 



Peonies are late, according to reports 



that reach E. E. Pieser, but he thinks 

 there is no danger of any of the prin- 

 cipal southern crops missing Memorial 

 day. 



All the teams of Wietor Bros., who 

 have their soil supply at some little 

 distance from the greenhouses, are busy 

 on the task of refilling tho benches. 



Last week was the best in two years, 

 according to A. L. Vaughan, who of 

 course excepts holidays. 



The little son, of George H. Jennings, 

 foreman at the Trimble greenhouses at 

 Princeton, was successfully operated on 

 in Chicago April 17. 



The first gardens were made last 

 week and W. W. Barnard Co. reports 

 counter trade on the boom. Mail orders 

 are holding up well. 



The opening of John Mangel's new 

 stand in the Marshall Field office build- 

 ing on Wabash avenue has been post- 

 poned to May 1. 



The decorations for the spring open- 

 ing of Mandel Bros, were furnished by 

 Zalinger & Hirsch, who recently opened 

 a store in the Insurance Exchange 

 building.
