corporators are: John F. Kidwell, E. O. 

 Blanieuser and George C. Weiland. It is 

 stated that the plan is to place the stock 

 in lots of not more than five shares with 

 different growers for this market and to 

 open a Avholesale cut flower establish- 

 ment, probably in the autumn, but possi- 

 bly before Easter. A meeting of the 

 interested parties was held in a down- 

 town hotel March 14 to further the work 

 of organization. 



E. B. Washburn and Mrs. Washburn 

 returned March 11 from a six weeks' 

 vacation spent at Pasadena. C. L. 

 Washburn is feeling so much better he 

 has decided to forego his trip to West 

 Baden. 



W. E. Lynch is again on duty at E. H. 

 Hunt's after several days spent in fight- 

 ing a case of blood poisoning, which af- 

 fected his neck and left arm. C. M. 

 Dickinson has returned from a short trip 

 to Denver. Clifford Pruner attended the 

 funeral of Joseph Labo's son at Joliet 

 March 10. 



A. L. Randall offers what seems like 

 a logical explanation why the arrival of 

 Lent was more apparent this year than 

 last, through the falling off in business. 

 He points out that Easter was three 

 weeks earlier last year, bringing Ash 

 Wednesday into the time that roses still 

 were s 'arce. This year Lent came in just 

 as the market was easing because of in- 

 creased supplies. 



The demise of John Senger, who was 

 one of the oldest florists in Chicago, is 

 recorded in the obituary column this 

 week. 



J. A. Bndlong is having built one of 

 the largest ice-boxes in the market, to 

 occupy the north end of their new store,
