 about fifty per cent. 



Tim Matchen says that Peter Rein- 

 berg sent the store sixty-eight boxes of 

 Beauties, roses and carnations May 6, 

 the largest day's receipts of the season 

 to date. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. has word from 

 W. A. Reiman, at Vincennes, Ind., that 

 the peony crop will be the largest and 

 finest ever. To the opposite effect is 

 the report from Spaulding & Son, Villa 

 Ridge, 111., who saj' many buds are 

 blasted and the crop will be shorter 

 than at first supposed, although the 

 quality of what stock is cut will be 

 extra good. 



Kyle & Foerster say that Frank 

 Schramm is having excellent success 

 with carnations this season, but that his 

 results with a large crop of antirrhinum 

 are not so satisfactory; in fact, Mr. 

 Schramm says the snapdragons requir^

 grow them again.

 Fred Harvey railroad eating house serv- 

 ice. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. has started to 

 cut the new Sunburst rose and, accord- 

 ing to Otto Frese, the initial cut is un- 

 usually fine. The first of the Cattleya 

 Mossiir and Cattleya gigas are now 

 coming in from Morton G-rove. 



Erne & Klingel are busy putting in 

 fixtures. They expect to be far enough 

 along to begin writing sales tickets 

 May 9.

 joys of moving and are now nicely set-

 cago Flower Growers' Association, man-
