cage is at least as good as it is in New 

 York. 



O. Johnson, of tlie Batavia Green- 

 house Co., says they have at least 10,000 

 dozens of peonies in cold storage and 

 still are cutting, cool weather having 

 greatly prolonged the season. 



Fred Klingel, of Erne & Klingel, re- 

 ports that the recently arrived twin 

 ladies, Miss Mabel and Miss Kuth, al- 

 readj' are showing signs of propagating 

 teeth. 



Lucien Leelere, formerly with Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., at Morton Grove, is 

 now with C. W. Ward's Cottage Gar- 

 dens, Queens, N. Y. 



Walter Kennicott sent an enormous 

 red, white and blue bouquet to Theodore 

 Eoosevelt June 17, with his best wishes. 

 The red and white were, of course, peo- 

 nies, and the blue was cornflower wired 

 to the peonies. A. C. Kohlbrand made 

 the bunch, which stood probably four 

 feet high. 



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

 gives as his opinion that there are today 

 in cold storage in Chicago two bunches 

 of peonies for every bunch that was in 

 storage at this date last year. 



One of the week's visitors is Leonard 

 Alaire, of Hatfield, Mass. He is a 

 brother-in-law of W. E. Lynch, and for- 

 merly was employed by E. H. Hunt. 



C. W. McKellar and wife went to 

 Gobleville, Mich., June 15 for a few 

 days' outing. They shipped the auto- 

 mobile to South Haven and motored 

 from there. They probably will have 

 returned before this item is in print. 



Joseph Foerster says that when Kyle 

 & Foerster came to figure up the May 

 business they found it made the largest 

 total in their business history. 



Peterson Nursery still is cutting peo- 

 nies, but the height of the season has 

 passed. One day last week three auto- 

 mobile loads were carried to the A. L. 

 Randall Co. 



Bassett & Washburn report that the 

 work of grading the new site for their 

 plant is progressing rapidly and that 

 the well has been drilled to the extent 

 of 100 feet. 



A. T. Pyfer says the Chicago Carna- 

 tion Co., Joliet, is cutting a carload 

 of Richardson's Rubra Superba peonies 

 this week. This is the latest variety of 

 all. 



Phil Schupp, of J. A. Budlong's, re- 

 ports a heavy demand for My Maryland 

 rose plants. "There seems to be an 

 unusually large number of calls for 

 Maryland this year and those I offered 

 for sale were taken in quick time," he 

 says.
