business of the last month, but is pleased 

 with the prospect. 



E. E. Pieser and August Jurgens made 

 a trip to Joliet last week to inspect the 

 peonies of the Chicago Carnation Co. 



The wedding of Edward Schultz and 

 Miss Marie Schmidt took place June 8. 

 Mr. Schultz has charge of the carnation 

 department for the E. C. Amling Co. 

 and the young couple received a purse 

 of gold from his fellow employees. 



Hunt Bros., of Park Eidge, are cut- 

 ting nice salpiglossis, a novelty in this 

 market at all times and especially so at 

 this date. 



One by one the tenants are relinquish- 

 ing to Marshall Field & Co. the stores 

 and offices in the building in which Lub- 

 liner & Trinz have their store, but the 

 florists have a lease that runs till 1915 

 and will hold on until they see that they 

 can better themselves by moving. 



A. E. Hunt & Co., Evanston, who were 

 frozen up solidly last winter, have again 

 begun to get some returns, having a fair 

 cut in early prospect. 



The Horticultural Society of Chicago 

 has issued a preliminary list of pre- 

 miums for plants for the show to be held 

 at the Art Institute April 1 to 15, 1913. 

 It carries $1,700. Copies may be had by 

 addressing C. W. Deusner, 1101 Buena 

 avenue. 



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

 who recently bought all the peony 

 plants in the 6-acre field of the Chicago 

 Carnation Co., Joliet, has reconsidered 

 his plan to sell this fall all the stock 

 except the Eichardson's Eubra Superba. 

 He will remove the plants, divide and 

 grow on, at Villa Eidge or a northern 

 farm, at least for another year. 



Frank Beu expects a contractor to 

 begin work within a few days on a store 

 and flat building at 4435 North Fortieth 

 avenue. The store and one of the apart- 

 ments will be used by the florist, while 

 the (Jther apartments are expected to 

 bring an income that will pay the inter- 

 est on the investment. 



According to the records made public 

 last week, Albert F. Amling is the only 

 florist holding stock in any national 

 bank in Chicago. He has twenty-five 

 shares in the biggest bank, the Conti- 

 nental and Commercial. In the state 

 banks in Chicago several in the trade 

 are interested. W. A. Peterson holds 

 300 shares in the State Bank of Chicago, 

 Peter HoUenbach has 10 shares in the 

 Mid-City Trust and Savings, J. J. Bud- 

 long 65 shares in the Lake View Trust 

 and Savings, John Fuhrmann 10 shares 

 in the Lake View State, W. J. Smyth 5 

 shares in the Douglas State, Carl Cropp

 chine will be used in connection with a 

 new storage room, which is to be 20x60 

 feet, and the cooler now in use on the 

 main market floor. 



William Mailander has been awarded 

 the contract to erect the five new green- 

 houses, each 34x599, which Bassett &

 tion. They are the Moninger flat rafter 

 type, with all wall posts and roof sup- 

 ports of galvanized pipe. All woodwork 

 is to be dipped in hot linseed oil and 

 painted with a special greenhouse paint.
