EASTER 



Longiflorum 

 Giganteums 



Our reputation as to these flowera 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 otir 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. We want 

 your Killarnejr orders for Easter. 



They are their own best salesman. 



Maids 



Something choice. 

 A trial convinces. 



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. All 

 other varieties on the market. 



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-groivn— 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 



Fancy, always 

 on hand 



Fancy varieties. Double Yel- 

 low for Easter.

(line rose lias been lost sight of by the 

 growers who last fall wore so anxious to 

 get orders accepted for My Maryland, 

 but that Jardine will yet be heard from 

 in this market. 



Bassett & Washburn are well pleased 

 with their success at the rose show at 

 Buffalo last week. They were first on 

 Beauties in a class with seven entries 

 and second on Killarney in a class of five 

 entries. Andrew Benson says he never 

 saw better quality than at Buffalo. 



Scheiden & Schoos say that while they 

 have broken no records in the dissemina- 



tion of the W. H. Taft carnation, they 

 have sold enough to make its introduc- 

 tion profitable and expect a considerably 

 larger sale next season. Brant & Noe 

 have quite a quantity of the Taft this 

 year in a good deal heavier soil than 

 Scheiden & Schoos use and say they get 

 stiffer stems and like it well. 



Vaughan & Sperry say the violet sea- 

 son promises to be pretty well over by 

 Easter. 



M. Weiland, of Evanston, has opened 

 a well equipped city branch, at the corner 

 of Belmont and Clark streets, conducting 



it under the name of the Belmont Floral 

 Co. 



A. C. Spencer, at Peter Reinberg's, 

 reports Easter shipping orders already 

 coming in. 



Nicholas Schmitz has bought tlie Hu- 

 bert Hansen greenhouses, at 4016 North 

 Clark street, and will take possession 

 April 1, Mr. Schmitz was for years as- 

 sistant gardener at St. Boniface cem- 

 etery. 



E. C. Amling says he is advising his 

 customers that they can go ahead on the 

 basis of a large supply of stock in all 

 lines for Easter. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. opened a car 

 of imported nursery stock March 22 in 

 fine shape. 



Benthey-Coatsworth Co. figures that the 

 Rhea Reid rose will be found a first-class 

 thing for summer trade. 



Percy Jones -says Rose-pink Enchant- 

 ress is a poor seller, because a poor 

 keeper at this season and therefore not 

 a good shipper. At the same time it is 

 a prolific bloomer and therefore in large 

 supply. 



The George "Wittbold Co. reports an 

 unusually strong demand, for so early in 

 the season, for Dracaena indivisa. Some 

 sizes already are sold out. 



W. E. Lynch, at E. H. Hunt's, says 

 there will be a great deal of difference 

 in the lilies this year — some as fine as 

 ever were, some short, and some that 

 won't get in. 



Weiland & Risch say it is too bad it 

 wasn't Lent all winter. 



J. A. Budlong estate will try both My 

 Maryland and White Killarney for next 

 season.
