Otto Wittbold says the Easter lilies 

 at the Edgebrook greenhouses de- 

 veloped rather bettor than ex])e<'ted and 

 he is getting a fair proportion of me- 

 dium and long stems. Teaming is diffi 

 cult on account of the rains and melt- 

 ing snow, some of the roads being al 

 most impassable. 



On his roses Adam Zender tried the 

 fertilizer they are said to use in grow- 

 ing lily bulbs in Japan. It proved to 

 be hot stuff, and burned his plants. 



Limousine baskets are said to be the 

 latest with the Eaedlein Basket Co. 

 They appear to be perfectly adapted 

 for the purpose. 



Fred Lautenschlager is asking for S. 

 A. F. and Florists' Club news from 

 nearly everyone he meets. During his 

 recent long trip for Kroeschell Bros. 

 Co. he lost track of developments. 



Leopold Koropp is just recovering 

 from a two weeks ' illness as a result 

 of blood poisoning and says he is lucky 

 to pull through. Mr. Koropp had in- 

 tended to entirely redecorate the store 

 before Easter, but his sickness forced 

 him to postpone the work till after 

 the holiday. 



CHRISTMAS TREE INDUSTRY. 



Answering a question, H. J. Smith, 

 the Hinsdale green goods dealer, says 

 in the Rural New Yorker: "Regarding 

 the Christmas tree industry, will say 

 that it seems to be on the incroasc 

 every year. There are no fanners now 

 who cut the wood clean off their lots. 

 They usually cut the unsightly trees and 

 leave the more symmetrical ones to 

 grow larger, both for timber and wood. 

 As regards the Christmas trees, they arc 

 thinned out in like manner; only those 

 unsuitable for Christmas trees have the 

 boughs cut off. We bale them up and 

 send to different dealers to be used as 

 background in halls and churches for 

 decorating, and in gardens and park.s 

 for covering plants and shrubbery in 

 winter. Then when we require Christ- 

 mas trees they cut those of a suitable 

 size and bring them to us in large loads, 

 which nets them a good sum per load. 

 Around a large spruce of twenty-five to 

 thirty feet the seed falls and is carried 

 several rods from it, and a great quan 

 tity of small spruce spring up. These 

 are thinned out and used for table deco- 

 ration. Lots that were cut over six or 

 eight years ago have better Christmas 

 trees growing on them now than were 

 cut then. For instance, a tree that is 

 two feet now will reach a height of 

 ten to fifteen feet in six to eight years. 

 This gives the farmer a good return for 

 his labor and gives him a revenue on 

 land which otherwise he does not use
