with duties connected with his regi- 

 ment, the Seventh Illinois National 

 Guard. 



The outlook has been extremely fa- 

 vorable, according to A. Pehrson, 1134 

 Bryn Mawr avenue. Mr. Pehrson is 

 doing a great deal of landscape work. 



Mrs. H. Thielmann has been busy 

 with funeral work the last two weeks. 

 She has been in business at 408 West 

 Division street for eighteen years and 

 in the neighborhood thirty-six years. 



George Eeinberg makes something of 

 a specialty of the Eichmond rose, hav- 

 ing fourteen of his sixty-five houses 

 planted with it. 



This spring John Welsh, Jr., 4407 

 Broadway, is making a specialty of 

 lawn work. He reports plenty of busi- 

 ness.

The Market. 



The maiket is overloaded, while 

 qualities arc good. The better grades 

 of Eichmond, Killarney and Eadiance 

 roses are in some demand, while it is 

 said that there are hardly enough cat- 

 tleyas to go around. These are now 

 bringing from $6 to $7.50 per dozen. 

 Fine American Beauty roses can be 

 had at $3 per dozen and the buyer can 

 pick over the stock until he gets what 

 he wants, as sales in large quantities 

 were last week recorded at as low as 

 $.5 per hundred. So plentiful are these 

 that one firm which weekly decorates 

 thirty or forty churches in and around 

 Washington last week used Beauties. 

 Violets have about passed off the mar- 

 ket. Sweet peas dropped to as low as 

 $2 per thousand and even at that 

 price were in little demand. Carna- 

 tions are good, but nobody seems to 

 want them, even at $7.50 per thou- 

 sand, in colors, while white carnations 

 are somewhat scarce and holding up 

 to $3 per hundred. 



The Mexican difficulty is playing 

 havoc with business, for the reason 

 that many social functions have been 

 postponed.

 of the Florists' Club, which was post-

Easter rush, was the presentation to 

 the retiring president. Otto Bauer, of a 

 handsome cut glass water pitcher heav- 

 ily inlaid with silver and bearing his 

 monogram on a medallion at the front, 

 in appreciation of his efforts during the 

 year. The surprise was complete and 

 Mr. Bauer found himself at a loss for 

 words to express his thanks. 



Upon his induction into office, the 

 new president, George H. Cooke, again 

 pledged his fullest support to the suc- 

 cess of the club. E. L. Jenkins, the 

 newly elected vice-president, also was 

 called on to go on record to the same 

 effect. 



William F. Gude made a report on 

 his recent trip to Boston and of the 

 plans to make this convention the big- 

 gest in the history of the S. A. F. A 

 large number of those present signified 

 their intention of making this trip, and 

 ,it is possible that the florists of Phila- 

 .delphia, Baltuaere and WasTiuigton will 

 join together and go via the Merchants '
