is lost. Frank Schramm, of Arlington 

 Heights, says all his peonies, as well as 

 those of all his neighbors, were drooping, 

 but that most of them have straightened 

 up again. A most discouraging report 

 came from the big Kennicott plantation 

 at The Grove; Walter Kennicott said 



April 25 the crop would be a total loss, 

 and they are still feeling decidedly blue 

 about it. 



These are reports from only a few of 

 the innumerable growers who supply 

 peonies to this market, but they serve to 

 show that the early crops will be on aecl 



as usual and that hope for the late crop 

 need not be abandoned. 



With so many new growers each year 

 to ship in, the natural increase in supply 

 will go a long way toward making up for 

 what has been locally lost by frost. 



Gunation Plants in the Field. 



Most growers had withstood the temp- 

 tation to plant out their carnations earlier 

 than usual this year, but several had 

 made a beginning before the big freeze. 

 They think their loss has been small. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. had 150,000 plants 

 in the field at Morton Grove. This is 

 something more than half the stock. The 

 stock had been out several days and had 

 become well hardened up before the frost 

 came. John Poehlmann stated at the 

 store April 25 that August Poehlmann 

 had just told him over the long distance 

 phone that he could not see that the 

 plants had suffered a great deal. It is 

 planned to bench about 180,000 carna- 

 tion plants for next season and approxi- 

 mately 300,000 are on hand, nearly half 

 still under glass. 



J. A. Budlong had 25,000 carnation 

 plants in the field and neither A. H. 

 Budlong nor Phil Schupp can see that 

 the plants show signs of injury, although 

 the temperature was as low as 26 degrees. 

 The plants were covered by snow. 



Baesett & Washburn had one day's 

 planting out at Hinsdale, about 12,000 

 plants. Mr. Washburn says the tops 

 were frozen and that it certainly did 

 them no good, but possibly not much 

 harm. 



Nick Kruchten began planting the day 

 before the freeze and had about 10,000 

 plants out. John Kruchten says they 

 have had them out before without injury 

 when the ground froze so hard you could 

 walk on it and his brother Henry says 

 he thinks the temperature must go below 

 20 degrees to kill carnation plants. 



Others who had plants in the field also 

 say they think the injury was slight. 



Various Notes. 



J. H. McNeilly, who has made a pro- 

 nounced success of confectionery and ice 

 cream at 1153 Sixty-third street, has 

 taken also the store next door, at- 1155 

 for a retail flower store and a catering 

 department. The location is at Lexing-
