of several growers to his staff since 

 April 1, one of the largest sending his 

 first consignment three days before 

 Kaster. 



W. F. Hoerber states that though the 

 glass of Hoerber Bros, nas only been 

 doubled since last Easter, the cash re- 

 ceipts for the week were four times 

 those of a year ago. 



A. F. Longren is preparing to take 

 the road again for E. H. Hunt. W. E. 

 Lynch says cut flower sales showed a 

 good increase over last Easter. 



Henry Van Gelder says the Percy

Jones force worked till midnight three 

 days last week. 



L. Baumann has just recovered from 

 a ten days' siege with the grip. 



Wietor Bros, say Easter was like 

 Christmas, the best yet. 



At J. A. Budlong's it is said that 

 Mrs. Jardine rose was in special favor 

 at Easter. John Mangel has for some 

 time made it a feature of his window 

 display. 



StoUery Bros, had a big decoration 

 Tuesday night, April 18, at the Ar- 

 cadia, Evanston and Sunnyside ave- 



nues, for the annual charity ball of the 

 North End Women's Club. It was 

 stated that two tons of Michigan 

 spruce and pine were used in place of 

 the usual wild smilax, and eight large 

 hanging baskets, each about six feet 

 in diameter, were strung down the cen- 

 ter of the hall. 



Kyle & Foerster say their lily re- 

 ceipts were much heavier than they 

 expected, but that they sold every 

 flower, except part ox a consignment 

 received Sunday at nearly noon. 



Peter Reinberg has every reason to 

 be satisfied with Easter, according to 

 Tim Matchen's view. 



John Zech says that every order sent 

 out for Easter called for more or less 

 sweet peas. The sweet pea used to be 

 considered a flower that would not ship, 

 but now it is one of the big shipping 

 items. 



Robert Northam says George Rein- 

 berg never before cut so many roses 

 or short Beauties for Easter. 



The Geo. M. Garland Co. has put up 

 two small lean-tos by the side of its 

 factory. They are only temporary, 

 however, being used as shelters for 

 steel work until the larger new build- 

 ing, previously mentioned in The Re- 

 view, is completed. 



A carload of Illinois self-watering 

 window and porch boxes was recently 

 ordered by J. Bolgiano & Son, of Balti- 

 more, from the American Metal Box 

 Co., 181 North Dearborn street. In- 

 cluded in another order recently re- 

 ceived was a combination dining-room 

 dome electrolier and flower box cost- 

 ing $160. This latter order amounted 

 to over $900 and was for the out- 

 fitting of a private home in Indiana. 



In the election April 19 August 

 Poehlmann was returned as president 

 of the village of Morton Grove, and his 

 brother, Adolph, was chosen as police 

 magistrate. 



MAIJ)EN, MASS. 



E. D. Kaulback & Son have had 

 good success with their Easter lilies 

 this season. They grew 25,000 bulbs 

 of the black-stem giganteum type and 

 succeeded in getting 20,000 in flower 

 on 20-inch to 36-inch stems for Easter. 

 Every plant was sold and shipped be- 

 fore April 15, They stake each plant, 

 put cotton batting in the open flowers, 

 tie buds and flowers up in tissue paper 

 and ship in crates holding twenty-five 

 » plants each. They have done this for 

 a number of years and find it quite 

 satisfactory. They intend to grow 

 30,000 giganteum lilies for next Easte/.
