fail to appreciate the value of indoor 

 sweet peas; they are accustomed to 

 handling the outdoor crop and put too 

 low prices on the peas grown under glass. 

 C. W. McKellar is still receiving quite 

 a few violets from Ehinebeck and finds a 

 fair market for them. 



The Eaton Flower Shop has taken a 

 three years' lease on a part of the store 

 at 273 Dearborn street, and a five years' 

 lease on the store to be made for them at 

 73 Jackson boulevard. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. says last week 

 was the biggest first week in May in the 

 history of the concern, possibly in a 

 ineasure due to the large quantities of 

 iris they are handling this year. But 

 Kennicott Bros. Co. always has reported 

 May the biggest month of the year. 



C. A. Samuelson has given up the 

 «tore formerly occupied as a work-room 

 and shortly will remove his entire estab- 

 lishment to new quarters across the 

 street. He has occupied his present stand 

 ^inc(! the year after the world's fair and 

 lias a lease on the store to May 1, 1910. 

 His move is occasioned by the opportun- 

 ity to get a long term lease in a good 

 ^tore, something he was not able to ob- 

 tain from his former landlord. 



.At E. II. Hunt's they say it is an ill 

 ^\ind that blows nobody good. In other 

 ^yords, the very next day after the sud- 

 'len rise to summer temperature the rose 

 growers began to call for To-Bak-Ine to 

 'ight the thrips. 



Peter Reinberg says the amount of 



damage done by the hail storm just be- 

 fore Easter was decidedly (U'ce{)tiv(>. 

 Glass was broken, a pane here and a 

 pane there, all over the place, but he did 

 not think the damage would amount to 

 much. They have not yet finished replac- 

 ing all the broken lights, but he now 

 thinks 300 boxes will be consumed before 

 they are through. 



Grover Tonner, one of the members of 

 the well-known Tonner family, is here 

 from Aberdeen, S. D., on his wedding 

 trip. 



The E. F. "Winterson Co. has obtained 

 the store next door to 45 and 47 Wabash 

 avenue for the storage of bay trees and 

 boxwood. 



Canger & Gormley are in the market 

 for an automobile delivery van. 



Wietor Bros, are now cutting a few 

 fair tlowers of the Rhea Eeid rose. They 

 have 2,500 plants and will carry them a 

 second year. 



E. E. Pieser says he figures the south- 

 ern peony crop will be thirty per cent 

 short of a full crop, but that there now 

 are enough plants of blooming size so 

 that the supply of peonies for Decora- 

 tion day will be greater than it ever was 

 before. 



F. F. Benthey says that while crops 

 locally were shortening up last week, the 

 cut from the Otto Benthey place at New 

 Castle was on the increase. The ship- 

 ment from there May 10 was the largest 

 of the vear. 



A'aughan & Sperry are receiving peo- 

 nies from Tennessee and find they sell 

 exceptionally well for so early. 



Bassett & Washburn say Beauties will 

 be exceptionally abundant for some 

 weeks, given good weather. 



Percy Jones says the department store 

 buyers, who once would take any sort 

 of stock, are now as critical as any other 

 class of trade, so that stock which will 

 be acceptable to them can easily be sold 

 over the counter for at least as much 

 money as the outside stores pay.

 Coles, Kokomo, Ind.
