8 cents and too short for 15 cents. To 

 give an idea of the situation on sweet 

 peas he says one auto truck arrived in 

 the early hours of Saturday with 142,- 

 000 peas as its load. 



Work has been started by H. O. 

 Bauske, toward putting up five modern 

 houses which will replace a like num- 

 ber of old ones. The new range will 

 figure up at about 40,000 square feet. 



Emil Eeichling, who succeeded 

 George Collins as superintendent of 

 Peter Eeinberg's greenhouses, has" 

 started to put in new benches, with 

 concrete foundations, in the north 

 ranges of the Bowmanville establish- 

 ment. 



J. H. McNeilly, the Sixty-third street 

 retailer, spent the two weeks before 

 Easter in New York. Max Cohen was 

 left in full charge and did a big Easter 

 trade. April 5 funeral orders called for 

 work nearly all night. 



The floods that are causing so much 

 damage along the Ohio and Mississippi 

 rivers are causing no end of trouble 

 for the dealers in sheet moss and 

 Joseph Adler, of the Botanical Decor- 

 ating Co., says that it is almost im- 

 possible to get a big order filled from 

 the moss shippers. The supply on hand, 

 however, may hold out until conditions 

 are better. 



August Poehlmann says his company 

 this Easter sold 20,000 lily plants in 

 the pots. After the pot plants were out 

 he spent three days in the store writ- 

 ing bills for cut flower shipments. 



Harry Manheim, with Hoerber Bros., 

 states that they were fortunate in 

 their estimate of the Easter trade arid 

 that the cut made .iust hit the mark, 

 only a few carnations going to waste. 



Henry Klunder is with Bohannon. 



Harry Rowe took a vacant store at 

 56 East Monroe, a block away from his 

 new store, for use as a stock room and

work room, but found the showing of 

 plants kept a salesman busy there. 



Bassett & Washburn were forced to 

 cancel a number of Easter orders for 

 the district aflfected by the floods along 

 the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. It was 

 found that it was almost an impossibil- 

 ity to get orders through on time. 

 Other wholesale houses were in the 

 same position. 



Mr. and Mrs. H. Bayersdorfer, of 

 Philadelphia, were in Chicago over 



Easter on a pleasure trip. Mr. Bayers- 

 dorfer said he was trying to forget 

 business and added that the tour would 

 probably carry them as far as the 

 Pacific coast. 



W. O. Johnson, of A. L. Vaughan 

 & Co., has recovered from his fall down 

 the elevator shaft and is again at

W. E. Trimble, of the Trimble Green-
