 season on record. 



H. W. Rodgers, of Weiland & Eisch, 

 goes to Spring Lake, Mich., June 29 

 for a fortnight's visit with his mother 

 and brother there. It will be the first 

 day Mr. Eodgers has missed from the 

 store since his vacation last July. He 

 will be accompanied by his family. 



P. F. Benthey, of Kyle & Foerster, 

 estimates that the quantity of peonies 

 in storage has been reduced one-half 

 from the maximum quantity on hand. 

 He says the best stock is yet to come 

 on the market, the last few days hav-

 off in the receipts of both roses and 

 carnations and says business is much

 present. He also reports that young 

 rose plants have been selling well with 

 them. 



It is reported that John Olson killed 

 a rattlesnake June 18 at the green- 

 houses of Peter Eeinberg. A rattler in 

 Chicago is so rare the item found its

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

 plans to start a peony farm far north. 

 He had Old Eed cut this week north
