planned for the utmost efficiency and 

 economy of operation. The office is 

 in the Rookery building. L. W. C. Tut- 

 hill, advertising manager for the con- 

 cern, has been here from New York 

 this week. 



A young man introducing himself as 

 Mr. Thorley, Jr., of New York, called 

 on some of the wholesalers May 1 and 

 stated that he will open a flower store 

 in the Hotel La Salle and in the 

 Blackstone. John Mangel, who has the 

 flower booth in the Blackstone, said he 

 didn't know anything about it. 



That two sisters should marry two 

 brothers is so unusual that a wedding 

 in the family of George Keinberg May 

 3 is attracting much attention. A cou- 

 ple of years ago Mamie Beinberg mar- 

 ried Paul Qrabenkrueger, and by 

 Wednesday's ceremony his second 

 daughter, Henrietta, became the bride 

 of Arthur Qrabenkrueger. The wed- 

 ding took place at St. Gregory's church 

 and was largely attended, many of 

 those in the trade being present. Un- 

 der the name of Erueger the groom has 

 caught in semi-professional baseball for 

 several years and one season was with 

 the White Sox. 



G. Swenson, at Elmhurst, has what 

 he thinks will prove a treasure in a 

 winter-flowering form of the Countess 

 Spencer sweet pea. He has had it 

 bloom since early January, but has not 

 cut the flowers, so that he has quite a 

 quantity of seed for next season's 

 planting. The E. C. Amling Co. says

Mr. Swenson 's flowers have the true 

 Butterfly form and they expect them to 

 make a hit next winter. 



The Florists' Club will hold its regu- 

 lar monthly meeting tonight, May 4, at 

 the Union restaurant. The Milwaukee 

 Florists' Club has extended an invita- 

 tion to hold a joint meeting at Milwau- 

 kee June 1. 



The Auburndale Goldfish Co., 920 

 West Randolph street, has added a con- 

 siderable line of florists' supplies in 

 the shape of hanging baskets, lawn and 

 cemetery vases, bird cages, glass flower 

 vases, combination aquarium flower 

 stands, etc. Mrs. K. N. Cooper, the 

 manager, says that goldfish are un- 

 usually scarce this spring and some 

 difficulty has been experienced in filling 

 orders. 



Frank Oechslin is putting up an ad- 

 dition of six houses, east of the present 

 range, on property with a frontage of 

 130 feet and 125 feet in depth. The 

 materials are being furnished by Foley 

 and a Eroeschell boiler will be used 

 for heating. One of the houses is a 

 small one, only ten feet wide, while the 



Suppose, Mr. Retail Florist,, 

 it is May 29 and a customer 

 stands at your counter. 



On the counter is a bunch 

 of twelve good Peonies. In 

 another vase there are twelve- 

 roses, and in still another 

 vase twelve carnations. 



The Peonies cost you 5 cents 

 each flower, the Roses 8- 

 cents and the Carnations 4 

 cents. Put your own selling 

 prices on them. 



Which does the customer 

 select ? 



The Peonies, practically 

 every time. 



The modern Peony is as fine 

 as any rose. It's as big as 

 several carnations, and it 

 makes a showing for the 

 money unequaled by any 

 other flower. 



That's why the Peony is the 

 big special item of the Deco- 

 ration Day demand. 



Up to and including May 

 20, we are booking orders for 

 first-class Peonies, pink and 

 white, mixed, for Decoration 

 Day shipment at the guaran- 

 teed price of $5.00 per 100. 



Last year and the year be- 

 fore, when Decoration Day 

 came, such goods were selling 

 at from 8 cents to 10 cents. 



We don't know what the 

 price will be after May 20 

 this year, but the chances are 

 the only chance you take i& 

 in not ordering enough while 

 the guaranteed 5 cent price 

 is open to you. 



That's till May 20.
