lively trade in bulbous stock, having 

 imported extensively. Mr. Branch 

 states that the new store recently 

 opened at Fifty-eighth street and Prai- 

 rie avenue has succeeded beyond ex- 

 pectations. 



John Zech is suffering with an attack 

 »f lumbago^ it makes work a burden, 

 liut is not sufficient to keep him at 

 Some. 



W. H. Hilton, who has run a retail 

 atore at 1320 West Sixty-third street 

 for the last fourteen years, has sold his 

 ibase to a hardware dealer and will 

 ooQrftne his efforts to the new store, 

 (Vfifch he has been operating at Fifty- 

 third and Jefferson avenue. At the lat- 

 ter place the business has been in- 

 creasing rapidly and he has decided 

 to turn all his attention to that one 

 place instead of trying to conduct two 

 separate stores. Catering is also one 

 of the lines at Fifty-third street. 



Orchids are in steady demand with 

 Andrew McAdams, at Fifty-third street 

 and Kimbark avenue. He looks for- 

 ward to a big Easter trade and his 

 bulb stock is coming along in fair 

 shape, although in some instances the 

 plants are a little small, which is be- 

 lieved to be due to their having frozen 

 up rather hard. This has been rather 

 general, however, with a good many of 

 the retailers who do some growing, and 

 the same condition has been reported 

 by Fred Quasthoff, at Forty-sixth street 

 and Cottage Grove avenue. 



John F. Farrell, 4645 South State 

 street, has been rushed with an unusual 

 number of funeral orders, and, while 

 some lines of trade have been slow 

 with him, the same as all over the city, 

 on account of Lent, he says he has had 

 his hands full. 



It is reported that Edward Tilden 

 will enlarge the conservatory which is 

 now in use at his recently completed 

 home at Drexel boulevard and Forty- 

 eighth street. 



John F. Kidwell, president of the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association, 

 has assumed the duties of managing 

 director of the concern and reports 

 business lively considering the condi- 

 tion of the market since the advent of 



Lent. - ax 1
