and express. By mail there was a sav- 

 ing of a few cents per case in trans- 

 portation charges, but delivery was not 

 effected until the middle of the after- 

 noon, after the business of the day was 

 largely over, and by next morning the 

 arbutus was unsalable by comparison 

 with the fresh shipments by express 

 delivered in the morning. The result 

 was that the shipments by express real- 

 ized from two to three times as much 

 as those sent by mail. 



The planting of Beauties has been 

 completed by the Batavia Greenhouse 

 Co., according to the report of O. John- 

 son. 



With the idea of combining a little 

 business with pleasure, A. Miller, of 

 Henderson & Co., left May 5 for a visit 



with his relatives at Corsicana, Texas. 

 Probably the oldest men in the mar- 

 ket will agree with John Michelsen, 

 who says he never saw carnations sell- 

 ing as high May 4 as was the case 

 this year. The supply certainly is much 

 lighter than in any recent May. 



The policy of the Schiller stores will 

 be to sell carnations at cost this Moth- 

 ers' day, according to George Asmus, 

 who says he fears high prices will do 

 the holiday much harm. 



The first peonies of the season ar- 

 rived May 4, from Carbondale, 111., 

 consigned to the A. L. Randall Co. Mr. 

 Randall reports that Frank Johnson 

 is building a garage on his property in 

 Rogers Park. Mr. Randall and Mr. 

 Johnson are not only associated in 



business but they built homes on ad- 

 joining lots. The automobile also is a 

 partnership undertaking. 



Henry Tesco, one of the oldest em- 

 ployees at the George Reinberg estab- 

 lishment, died May 2. Mr. Tesco had 

 been ill since the first part of the year. 

 He had been in the employ of Mr. Rein- 

 berg for the last sixteen years, having 

 built most of the greenhouses. He is 

 survived by a wife and two children, 

 who live in Germany. 



In commenting on the changes in the 

 market John Zech, who started in the 

 business in 1891, says there has been 

 no more striking development than in 

 the case of the sweet pea. For many 

 years of little consequence, the sweet 

 pea now is one of the most important
