busy for John F. Farrell, 4645 South 

 State street, and he says that this year 

 is an exceptional one in many ways. 

 "First, spring plantin<^ had us on the 

 run until dark and now we are crowded 

 for time with school closings and 

 funeral work, to say nothing of wed- 

 ding demands. We certainly cannot 

 kick about having too little to do."

 ment of outdoor Blanche Ferry sweet 

 peas June 22. They came "from Fred

George Perdikas has been remodel- 

 ing his main store at 407 South Wabash 

 avenue and has extended his salesroom 

 the entire length of the building. New 

 fixtures are being used throughout and 

 a large display of refrigerators made 

 by Orr & Lockett will afford ample 

 space for showing stock to good ad- 

 vantage. 



C. M. Dickinson, of E. H, Hunt, Inc., 

 was among the favored ones who held 

 a season ticket to the republican na- 

 tional convention last week.

 shipping asters for a week. Mr. Kid- 

 well announces that the first annual

cases of baskets last week, with more 

 to come. 



J. C. Craig has noticed an unusual 

 season on school commencements and 

 funeral work. The rush of business 

 during the last two weeks has kept the 

 entire store force working overtime. 



Schumann & Kohout, formerly rose 

 growers for Bassett & Washburn, who 

 bought out the Chicago Eose Co., have 

 replaced the Brides and Maids with 

 Beauties and Rhea Reids and are ship- 

 ping their -fijst cut to the Chicago 

 Flower Growers' Association. 



The Bohannon Floral Co. reports a 

 big run on orchid bouquets during the 

 last three weeks. Present prices, they 



say, have made cattleya bouquets ex- 

 tremely popular and no doubt will help 

 the sale of these flowers even when not 

 so plentiful. Convention week was 

 unusually busy in the bouquet and 

 table decoration departments. 



Otto W. Frese, of Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., says that the decline in the cuts 

 of Beauties is about over and, while 

 they are not so plentiful as last week, 

 the quality is showing im]>rovement. 



H. N. Bruns and family are on the 

 way to Europe. They are scheduled to 

 sail from New York city. June 29 on 

 the President Grant, and probably will 

 not return till the latter part of Sep- 

 tember.
