EASTER 



Longiflorum 

 Giganteums 



Our reputation as to these flowers for Easter has been established for years. Grown by the most critical 

 grower, from the most expensive bulbs. Packed at the greenhouse and' shipped in original packages 

 direct to the consumer. No bruised or inferior flowers. You can't afford anything but the best in this 

 line at Easter time. Get our prices. They are no more than you will pay other places for an inferior article. 



Killarney 



A fine crop in all length stems. The heads are excep- 

 tionally long and large— with color. In saying they are 

 the finest stock in Chicago, we voice the opinions of the 

 most careful and critical buyers on the market. $4.00 to 

 $12.00 per 100. We want your Killarney orders for 

 Easter. 



Maids 



Something choice. They are their own bestjsalesman. 

 A trial convinces. $3.00 to $8.00 per 100. 



Carnations 



White Perfection, White Enchantress, White Lawson, 

 Lady Bountiful. The best white on the market. Our 

 Victory, a red, has not been out-classed yet. Lawson and 

 Enchantress— Winsor— well grown and fancy stock. 



Wiiite Lilac 



$1.00 per bunch. This crop of lilac, now ready, is of the 

 larger variety, and very fine stock. This price is one-third 

 lower than we ever sold it before and we know it will meet 

 with large demand, as it is the high-class spring flower of 

 the market. 



Violets 



Eastern and Home-grown— single and double. Our 

 wide experience in handling Violets— our choice selection 

 of the best growers of fancy stock— the fact that we can 

 always fill your orders with stock that is fresh — are reasons 

 why everybody wants Randall's Violets. 



Valley Tulips 



A good grade, 

 $3.00 per 100. 



Fancy varieties. $3.00 to $5.00 

 per 100. Double Yellow for Easter.

file application with the Civil Service 

 Commission before noon March 27. 



Weiland & Risch report their sales 

 in Lent decidedly better than last year. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 says he has never seen the equal of the 

 way daffodils sold last Saturday— but 

 the price wouldn't go up. 



The wedding of Harry Lubliner and 

 Miss Bernice Harmon took place Tues- 

 day evening, March 16. 



Peter Reinberg is again cutting quite 

 a few Mrs. Field rose in good shape. 



A good many of the wholesalers, whose 

 places are located in the Atlas block, 

 have been worrying for fear the Mc- 

 Cormick estate would tear down the 

 building to make room for a skyscraper. 

 All the leases in the building recently 



have been written with a clause permit- 

 ting the landlord to terminate the lease 

 on ninety days' notice, which has looked 

 as though building operations were con- 

 templated. But now comes the report 

 that the landlord will spend several thou- 

 sands of dollars this summer in putting 

 in a boiler and engine plant to operate 

 the building, instead of renting heat and 

 power, as in the past. Surely the estate 

 has no immediate intention of tearing 

 down the Atlas block. 



E. H. Hunt now has four travelers on 

 the road, taking orders for Easter sup- 

 plies. 



Frank A. Benthey, in charge of the 

 erection of the new range of Hoerber 

 Bros., at Des Plaines, has a force of men 

 busy painting bars and making ready to 



rush construction as soon as the frost 

 goes out of the ground. 



A. L. Bandall Co. reports a large sale 

 on green carnation dye, a number of 

 customers taking several gallons each. 



Fred Lautenschlager is making a trip 

 southwest for Kroeschell Bros. Co. 

 When last heard from he was leaving 

 Parsons, Kan., and still going west. 



The funeral of Mrs. J. F. Kidwell, 

 March 12, was largely attended, many " 

 florists being present, and many fine 

 designs were sent. 



The Coliseum Co. has just refunded 

 the debt on the property, making a new 

 mortgage of $500,000 at five per cent. 



Among last week's visitors were the 

 Hartman brothers, of Warren, O., who 

 have sold out and are looking for a new 

 location. 



HAMMONTON, N. J. 



The weather in this section has been 

 warm for this time of the year, with lit- 

 tle snow. The ground has been open al- 

 most all winter, which gave growers a 

 good chance to prepare for the spring 

 rush. 



Wood & Healey have begun shipping 

 hontie grown valley pips, which is one of 

 their specialties. 



William F. Bassett reports that in- 

 quiries for kalmias are coming in steady 

 and probably will begin shipping shortly. 



J. Murray Bassett has received an im- 

 portation of dahlias from England. This 

 consists of new varieties. Mr. Bassett 

 is trying over eighty new varieties this 

 season. Also reports many inquiries for 

 kalmias, which he collects from a tract of 

 over 1,000 acres. . H. K.
