quainted with the trade before their own 

 place is completed. All their plana are 

 laid in a broad way. 



Bassett & Washburn have been showing 

 the trade some fine blooms of the new 

 pink rose, Princess, sent them by the E. 

 G. Hill Co., with the assurance that at 

 Richmond this is considered by all odds 

 the best pink rose for summer, as a com- 

 panion to Kaiserin, 



Peter Heirens, who with his partner, 

 Mr. Steinmetz, recently bought the 

 Henry Philip place at Rogers Park, has 

 now acquired the Jacob Philip place, ad- 

 joining the first purchase. They have 

 bought the two establishments outright, 

 but do not get possession until August 1. 

 Carnations are to be grown the first year, 

 with roses later. 



Julius Schnapp's old store at Forty- 

 seventh street and Forestville avenue is 

 now conducted as the Warwick Flower 

 Shop. The proprietor is C. S. Reide- 

 nouer, who is connected with the real 

 estate business next door, and who em- 

 ploys Fred Dinger, formerly with Muir, 



to manage the store for him. It is re- 

 ported Mr. Dinger is figuring on buying 

 the place. 



James Novak, who is one of Peter 

 Reinberg's rose growers, is preparing to 

 go to Charles City, la., where he has been 

 Offered a good thing by the Sherman 

 Nursery Co. 



F. Rodtke has a neat store at 438 

 Forty-third street. 



John Michelsen, at E. C, Amling's, 

 says it is remarkable how good some of 

 the Rhinebeck violets continue to be. He 

 says he thinks the growers must sort 

 them after picking and ship only the 

 best. 



Peter Reinberg is figuring on getting 

 a switch from the Northwestern to his 

 range on the east side of Robey street, 

 thereby saving hauling coal. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. is again cutting 

 the Cardinal rose in considerable quan- 

 tity. If it could be done as well all win- 

 ter it soon would be a leading variety. 



The A. L. Randall Co. reports a good 

 business in lawn grass seed, put up in 



xsartons, which a large number of retail 

 florists, not only in Chicago but else- 

 where, are handling. 



The L. Coatsworth plant at New Castle 

 has been sold to Otto Benthey, who has 

 been in charge ever since the range was 

 built. 



W. J. Smyth is running a fine new 

 thirty horse-power Studebaker automo- 

 bile, which he uses both for business and 

 pleasure. 



There were flowers galore at the open- 

 ing of the National League baseball sea- 

 son April 14, including the largest floral 

 cup or urn ever seen at the park, and 

 thirty-five big bouquets. Of course Leon- 

 ard Kill had charge of the floral cere- 

 monies, assisted by John Zech. 



The best Easter rose plants seen in 

 Chicago retail stores were the variety 

 Tausendschon. C. A. Samuelson had 

 some plants from the Robert Craig Co., 

 Philadelphia, that had wonderful flowers. 



Among last week 's visitors was John 

 Walker, of Youngstown, O.
