MentloD The Review when you write- 



Wietor Bros, have their replanting 

 operations well along. The practice is 

 to replant about one-third the roses 

 each year, resting the others a part at 

 a time. There is no time that nothing 

 is being cut, as was the case a few 

 years ago. 



Bassett & Washburn report that Mr. 

 and Mrs. O. P. Bassett will arrive in 

 Chicago Memorial day for a stay of a 

 few weeks. They are living in Pasa- 

 dena, Cal., and will return after a visit 

 and spend the summer at Long Beach, 

 Cal. 



H. Luedtke, at Maywood, already has 

 four houses planted with early mums. 



A. L. Vaughan, of A. L. Vaughan & 

 Co., states that the shipping depart- 

 ment was pressed to the limit with Me- 

 morial day orders and says he never 

 saw orders so large or come so fast for 

 peonies and carnations. 



Phil Schupp, store manager for .J. A. 

 Budlong, reports that all but one house 

 of American Beauties are in, five hav- 

 ing been replanted, and work will be 

 started on the Killarneys at once. The 

 cut of Maryland continues heavy. 



E. D. Curtis, of Hampton, la., was in 

 town May 27. He says he bought cut 

 flowers amounting to about $300 for 

 Memorial day use at the three estab- 

 lishments operated by the Curtis Floral 

 Co. 



W. L. Palinsky states that he has 

 filed suit against the Peoples Gas Light 

 & Coke Co., as a result of his failure to 

 secure satisfactory settlement of the 

 loss occasioned by gas leaking into his 

 greenhouses last winter. 



The local peonies are in again for

 which is the means of brioj^ing a 

 new advertiser to

Stich friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated. 



Give us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser. We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florisf s use 

 not at present advertised.

 reports the arrival of Officinalis Pink 

 cut at Glen View May 27. 



C. H. Fisk has returned from Califor- 

 nia, where he has been spending six 

 weeks with a daughter, whose home is 

 at Pasadena. 



C. W. McKellar reports the arrival of 

 heavy shipments of cape jasmines May 

 27. This is another item on which the 

 predicted Memorial day shortage has 

 failed to develop.

itiated into the accounting system used 

 by Peter Eeinberg in anticipation of 

 the resignation of Miss Corbett, who 

 leaves June 1. Miss Corbett declines to 

 give permission for this item to state 

 the reason for her resignation, but you 

 need only one guess. 



A. Miller, of A. Henderson & Co., 

 writes in that the trade is doing big 

 business in almost every section and 

 the retailers are rushed to a man. 



A. F. Longren, of E. H. Hunt, re- 

 ported back to headquarters this week, 

 after a most successful extensive trip, 

 calling on the eastern trade. He says 

 conditions are exceptionally good all 

 over that territory. 



Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, says 

 the demand for butterfly sweet peas 

 has been unusual and it was necessary 

 to send out hurry calls for stock last 

 week. Long pink cleared almost at 

 sight, while white moved rapidly.
