keeping the vines producing good stock 

 much longer than they usually .do. There 

 is much fancy stock on the market. 



Violets are selling cheaply. The best 

 stock brings 50 cents, but a large part 

 can only be sold at whatever the street 

 merchants are pleased to offer, which 

 isn't much, with roses and carnations as 

 cheap as they now are, if a lot is taken. 

 Singles are pretty poor. 



Easter lilies and callas have joined the 

 oversupply. Lilac from southern Illinois 

 arrived in quantity April 19. It sold well, 

 if at somewhat cheap prices, as an out- 

 come. 



Gdl Thompson Bankrupt 



A petition in bankruptcy was filed 

 April 14, against John D. Thompson, of 

 6222 Ingleside avenue. The petitioning 

 creditors and their claims are: Charles 

 Wagner, merchandise, $49.60; M. B. Van 

 Arman, a small sum for labor and ma- 

 terial, and the J. D. Thompson Carnation 

 Co., "rent, merchandise sold and deliv- 

 ered, a horse, attorney's fees and other 

 items," $4,132.40. It is alleged that 

 Thompson committed an act of bank- 

 ruptcy December 11, when he assigned 

 and transferred to one Ernest Oram 

 certain shares of the capital stock of the 

 Thompson Carnation Co., with the intent 

 to make him a preferred creditor. The 

 case appears to be a continuation of the 

 fight that has been going on within the 

 Thompson company for a couple of years.
