WINTERSON'S "Worth-While" 



DAHLIA ROOTS 



Florists and dealers generally will find 

 a big sale for Dahlia roots, providing they 

 place before the public stock that is of 

 good appearance and such as is not di- 

 vided up into small pieces. We furnish 

 lar^e, undivided clumps of all of the va- 

 rieties listed herein; furthermore, the 

 sorts named have been specially selected

 tant factor in the northern country, where

The latest pamphlet from Mr. Puld's 

 pen, just issued, is entitled "Cannas, 

 Dahlias and Gladioli." It is written 

 for the amateur gardener. Detailed in- 

 structions as to culture are given, with 

 many valuable hints as to how the non- 

 professional grower may obtain the best 

 results. The pamphlet of sixty-four 

 pages is handsomely printed, though not 

 illustrated. The character of the text 

 seems to make it certain that the book- 

 let will do much to stimulate the pub- 

 lic interest in the flowers described.

 street, is being pushed with rush orders 

 for decorations this week, while ad- 

 vance wedding orders for the week fol- 

 lowing Easter Sunday already number

 scheduled for the same day and call 

 for unusually elaborate work. 



M. A. Dziadul, 1514 West Chicago 

 avenue, says that his retail trade has 

 held up to normal through Lent. His 

 hopes for the future have been 

 strengthened by the erection of a large 

 new Polish church one block away, 

 which is to throw open its doors next 

 month. 



Carl Thonxas, who has spent the win- 

 ter with the A. L. Randall Co., will re- 

 turn to his summer home at West

 moved two carloads of sphagnum moss

E. Kitzinger, who runs a retail estab- 

 lishment at 2852 Fullerton avenue, has 

 been going through a prolonged siege 

 of sickness during the winter and is 

 still confined to his bed. Mrs. Kitz- 

 inger is in charge of the business, 

 which has been steadily growing. 



A visitor at The Review office March 

 27 was G. L. Miller, Newark, O. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 looks upon the passing of Easter as the 

 opening of the peony season. 



Winterson's Seed Store is busy re- 

 tailing Easter plants. 



Kyle & Foerster say they expect 

 April, May and June to be exception- 

 ally good months. 



John Kruchten/ has sold a large num- 

 ber of pot lilies from samples this 

 Easter. 



"North avenue has made rapid strides 

 during the last two years and Mrs. 

 Hannah Thielman reports that retail 

 trade at her store at 2508 West North

 done.

 sometimes give the wholesalers food 

 for thought. C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. 

 Hunt's, is trying to figure out why the
