overbought and would be stuck, but we 

 invariably sell out. Our plant arrange- 

 ments run from $5 to $35; we could 

 not sell the smaller plants even if we 

 cared to do so." 



Peter Reinberg is one of the commit- 

 tee chosen to select the committees for 

 the non-partisan organization of the next 

 city council. 



Cleason Bros, have secured a building 

 permit for the erection of a range of 

 greenhouses at (iloO North Robey street, 

 at a cost of $13,400. 



The wholesalers put in full time last 

 week, working far into the night March 

 25. E. C. Amling's force did not go 

 home at all that night. 



Emil Buettner returned a few da^ 

 before Easter from a month 's trip TO 

 <'alifornia. 



Henry Van Gelder says that the first 

 five days last week exceeded the sales 

 of any seven days since the Percy Jones 

 business was established. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. had a tremen- 



dous Easter. March 24 and 25 there 

 were twenty-five people in the store sort- 

 ing, counting and packing, the regular 

 staff being reinforced by men from tlie 

 greenhouses, led by August and Adolph 

 Poehlmann. Mons Olson was sick all 

 week, and had not reported for duty at 

 the beginning of this week. 



Andrew Miller, at one time one of the 

 best known florists in Cliicago, but now 

 for some years a sleeping-car conductor, 

 spent last week in John Mangel 's store. 

 Ten years ago Mr. Miller and Charles 

 Schneider, doing business as the Central 

 Floral Co., in Central Music Hall, where 

 Marshall Field 's store now stands, diil 

 an extremely large cut flower trade. 



Bert Budlong and some of the green- 

 house men spent several days last week 

 helping out during the rush at J. A. 

 Budlong 's. 



E. F. Winterson says he never saw 

 so large a volume of business as last 

 week, the rush extending to all depart- 

 ments of his horticultural emporium. 



^lias Hertha Tonner, who has a pros- 



perous commission business in the Flower 

 Growers' Market, reports the arrival of 

 the first iris, in three colors, March 24. 

 She also had antirrhinum six feet long 

 in four colors for Easter. 



There even are ardisias, relics of 

 Christmas, in one Wabash avenue retail 

 window. 



E. C. Anding says the southern Hlinois 

 season is fifteen days late this year, and 

 only a few days ahead of Oak Park, 

 where he does his gardening. 



Kyle & Foerster say that Easter ex- 

 ceeded their hopes, bringing in a con- 

 siderable number of customers with whom 

 they had not before done business. 



Gedrge Hartung, in Kensington, says 

 he closed out of every blooming plant. 



At E. H. Hunt's they say the spring 

 season in supplies has been by far the 

 heaviest ever known. The travelers are 

 again taking to the road. 



N. J. Wietor is wearing a new "piece 

 of ice" that looks as though it would 

 be good for quite a few boxes of glass.
