plants, as well as cut flowers, having tak- 

 en a lot of Boston ferns to clear out for 

 one of their growers. 



John Kruchten Is receiving antir- 

 rhinums and says it is no trouble at all 

 to get $1.50 per dozen for the long, 

 straight stalks, but that it is next to 

 impossible to sell the crooked ones. He 

 thinks this is the plainest of evidences 

 of the difl'erenee in profit between good 

 stuff and stuff not so good. 



John Sterrett says the Hotel LaSalle, 

 where he has charge of the decorations, 

 is the largest individual consumer of 

 cut flowers in the city. Mr, Sterrett each 

 day decorates with a vase of roses from 

 275 to 300 tables in the hotel dining- 

 rooms. Every table has flowers. 



George Keinberg had a full crop for 

 Christmas and has another for Easter, 

 although he has been in light crop in be- 

 tween. 



George Svkes, manager of the Chicago 

 office of the Lord & Burnham Co., deliv- 

 ered an address before the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club of I.ake Forest 



March 23. He passed up the details of 

 construction and discussed the scientific 

 principles that influence pitch of roof, 

 aspect of house, etc. 



E. C. Amling says that there is no mis- 

 take that carnations are off crop with 

 many growers, but he does not look for 

 anything like scarcity. 



Vaughan & Sperry report Easter or- 

 ders from as far away as Raleigh, N. C. 



At J. A. Budlong's they say Easter 

 finds them right at the apex of the 

 spring crops. 



Peter Eeinberg says carnations are 

 not going off crop with him, but that 

 he has not yet overcome the tendency to 

 split that has made so much trouble for 

 most of the growers the last several 

 weeks. 



On another page it is reported that 

 the Lord & Burnham Co., New York, is 

 preparing to put up a foundry and 

 greenhouse material mill at Des Plaines. 



At E. H. Hunt's the supply depart- 

 ment has been exceedingly busy the last 



few days with an importation of 25,000 

 baskets from France, that came in sev- 

 eral weeks later than expected. They 

 have shipped or sold the bulk of them 

 within a fortnight. A. F. Longren is 

 home from the road to help in the Easter 

 rush. 



M. Stauch, lately with the Joy Floral 

 Co., at Nashville, but well known in this 

 market, is here after a visit at his old 

 home in Germany. 



One of the week's visitors is J. H. 

 Shelton, Rochester, Ind. 



Frank Beu thinks he was the first 

 grower to have a crop of Kaiserin ready ; 

 he began cutting about March 10 and 

 has a house now in full crop, with an- 

 other one coming along nicely to be 

 ready when the first house goes off crop. 

 Mrs. Beu says that sht sold twice as 

 much carnation dye thii year as in any 

 previous year.
