covers 351x500, or 175,500 square feet 

 —four acres. 



George C. Weiland is building eleven 

 new houses, replacing seven old ones, 

 at his place at Evanston, and his 

 brother is building ten at New Castle. 



Zech & Mann say quite a few of 

 their customers are ordering Brides- 

 maid in preference to Killarney, the 

 former having the advantage of both 

 size and color. 



M. C. Gunterberg does not plan to 

 move to the new location at 82 to 86 

 East Randolph street until after Easter 

 Following this largest of years, the iii- 

 tention is to branch out a bit next 

 season. 



A. L. Vaughan says the total sales 

 of Vaughan & Sperry for the month of 

 March have beaten last year's record 

 in spite of Easter being in March last 

 year. 



E. C. Amling is expected home from 

 California early in April, all gingered 

 up for the Easter rush. 



Sinner Bros, are preparing to bench 

 1,000 Carnation Washington for trial 

 next season. 



C. M. DicKiuson, at E. H. Hunt's, is 

 iiard at work on a new supply catalogue 

 that is to bo the largest the house has 

 issued. 



Harry Manheim says he is looking 

 forward to a good summer demand 

 and that Hoerber Bros, are preparing 

 quite a line of summer stock. 



O. J. Friedman is one of those con- 

 cerned in the recent deal involving the 

 Thompson-Taylor building on Michigan 

 avenue, in the wholesale district. 



Peter Olsem, of the Chicago Carna- 

 tion Co., did not go to Boston with the 

 main Chicago delegation. He remained 



until March 27 and took with him 1,000 

 carnation blooms for exhibition. 



Kyle & Foerster say they feel sure 

 that, in spite of the fact that so many 

 growers were too early with their lilies, 

 there will be more than ever for Easter, 



jraiVERY now and then a well- 

 "■S pleased reader speaks the word 

 which is the means of bringing a 

 new advertiser to 



.tVftf^ 



Such friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated. 



Give us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser. We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florist^s use 

 not at present advertised. 



FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO. 

 530-60 Caxton Bldg. Chicago 



because so many more are being grown. 

 "Killing two birds with one stone" 

 is accomplished by the Geo. M. Garland 

 Co. in an addition to their workshop, 

 which is now being built at Des Plaines. 

 The new building is a 34-foot truss 

 house with a concrete wall, adjoining 



the present factory, a sheet metal roof 

 and a glass wall on the east side giving 

 ample light. This company is thus able 

 to show the Garland truss construction 

 and make good use of the hous^ at the 

 same time. 



The city election takes place April 4. 

 Peter Eeinberg, who now is putting in 

 every wakeful hour to elect Carter Har- 

 rison mayor, will then have time to 

 consider greenhouse building. He has 

 several hundred boxes of glass on the 

 place. 



Phil Schupp says J. A. Budlong ex- 

 pects to move into the new store at 82 

 to 86 East Eandolph street April 1 and 

 2 and open for business there April 3. 



E. E. Pieser is again in the store of 

 Kennicott !l^os. Co., he and Mrs. Pieser 

 having returned from West Baden. It 

 is difficult to get Mr. Pieser to forget 

 business and while away he visited a 

 number of customers within a few 

 hours' ride of the Indiana resort. 



Frank Johnson, who returned Sunday 

 from a fortnight's trip southwest for 

 the A. L. Randall Co., took the Twen- 

 tieth Century for Boston and the Na- 

 tional Flower Show March 28. 



George Asmus and W. N. Rudd will 

 go to Baltimore after the National 

 Flower Show closes, for a session of the 

 executive committee of the S. A, F. 



Winterson's Seed Store has rented a 

 cool, basement on South Water street 

 to warehouse the imported stock' soon 

 to arrive in quantity. 



H. N. Bruns is the latent addition to 

 the list of retail florists who are ad- 

 vertising in the Tribune. 



Henry Van Gelder says he under- 

 stands every grower at Des Plaines is 

 adding to his glass this year.
