 was good. 



C. Young & Sons Co. furnished a large 

 wedding reception at the Columbian Club 

 last week, which was finely executed. The 

 decoration consisted of wild smilax, 

 plants and white roses, the eost being 

 $500. James Young, president of the 

 company, says the cold weather during 

 April caused a slump in their mail-order 

 business, in both seeds and plants. 



The grand opera season by the Metro- 

 politan Opera Co. in the big Coliseum 

 made quite a run on some of the uptown 

 florists for good stock in roses and 

 orchids. 



Theo. Miller, at Euclid and Delmar 

 avenues, is making changes in the front of 

 his establishment. The front when com- 

 pleted will be one of the most attractive 

 fronts of any of the west end florists. 



The nice weather that followed the cold 

 brought out the buyers of plants in full 

 force again and from now on the plant- 

 ing-out season will be rushing. 



From reports of the leading florists 

 here, the April business this year does 

 not compare favorably with that of last 

 year, either in the sail of cut flowers or 

 plants. 



John Bentzen says that he is organiz- 

 ing a baseball club of employees of his 

 father's place, to be known as the Bent- 

 zen Floral Co. Baseball Team. He will 

 arrange a game with the C. Young & 

 Sons Co. employees' team, to be played 

 at the Florists' Club's picnic.

 28x200. The work is being done by Bob 

 Thompson. This, they say, will give them 

 an additional 15,000 feet, making a total 

 of 23,000 feet of glass. Pierre Schneider, 

 their old foreman, who has been for the 

 last year with A. C. Canfield, Springfield, 

 111., has returned and taken. his old posi- 

 tion. Mr. Schneider is a member of the 

 local Florists' Club and the members

 Oakland Floral Co. is owned by the 

 Erker brothers and they grow an extra
