Giganteum (Eaater) Lilies are about the beat eummer flowers for decorations or work— big, bold flowers— in them your 

 customei's money will make a better show than in anything else you can offer in warm weather. Also, and this is im- 

 portant, these lilies are grown where it is cool ; they are hard and will ship— tkere wiU be absolutely no waste. Abso- 

 lutely no limit to bur supply if givt-n forty -eight hours' notice. i ji, 



ROSES 



PEONIES 



Kslu: 



You will find here a large supply of fine Roses- Killar- 

 ney, Richmond and White Killamey that will ship. Our 

 summer supply is larger than ever before and the quality 

 sure to please. 



Can stilt furnish fine peonies ; stock grown and put up by 

 the oldest and most experienced grower of this flower— ex- 

 cellent stock in every way. The supply probably will last 

 another two weeks. White and pink. 



Order Valley, Sweet Peas, Carnations, Qladioli, Daisies, or Qreens — our supply is large and 

 the quality excellent.

inasmuch as they stand shipping much 

 better than carnations. Of the other 

 varieties the quality averages fair, and 

 Melody, Killarney, White Killamey, 

 My Maryland, Eadiance, Sunburst, 

 Jardine and Mrs. Aaron Ward, as well 

 as Mrs. Taft, can be had in good con- 

 dition and of all lengths. In view of 

 the still rather large supply, prices have 

 been held down considerably, even 

 though the quality as a rule would 

 justify a slight advance. Short open 

 roses, of which there are many, bring 

 little money. 



Carnations still are coming in large 

 quantities, although not half so many 

 as a fortnight ago, and good stock can 

 readily be sold at a fair price. Growers 

 have generally started replanting their 

 carnation houses and the poorer stock is 

 being thrown out for the new plants, 

 while the houses producing the better 

 grades are still being cut until the as- 

 ter supply is on in fuHr" Good asters 

 already are to be had, but no general 

 shipments have been seen, though a few 

 nice lots have been reported. 



Valley, as usual, had a big run all 

 through the month of June. The last 

 week the call appeared to be rather 

 heavier than usual, and stock was 

 cleaned up in fine shape as the month 

 passed out. This month is hardly ex- 

 pected to hold the same demand, but the 

 ordinary call will be filled without any 

 trouble. The quality is good, with prices 

 moderate. Lilies continue to move in 

 small quantities, there being just about 

 enough of them to take care of the 

 demand occasioned by funeral work. 

 Sweet peas are of only fair quality and 

 after long shipments do not hold up any 

 too well. The cool weather recently has 

 helped the quality to some extent and 

 the succeeding lots are expected to show 

 better quality. The outdoor sweet peas 

 are coming in to some extent, but not 

 in large enough quantity to force out 

 the Spencers. 



It should not be overlooked that the

Mr. Washburn Weds. 



The business friends of C. L. Wash- 

 burn were pleased, but not all of them 

 were surprised, Monday, July 1, to re- 

 ceive, in the morning's mail, the cards 

 announcing his marriage. Mr. Wash- 

 burn's bride was Miss Helen van Aken, 

 daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anton van 

 Aken, of Hinsdale. The wedding took 

 place at the home of the bride's par- 

 ents, at 7:30 Saturday evening, June 

 29, and the couple left at once on the 

 Northland for a lake trip to BuflFalo. 

 Miss van Aken was born in Chicago, but 

 has lived practically all her life in Hins- 

 dale, where she has been prominent so- 

 cially and in church work. She is a 

 member of the Hinsdale Congregational 

 church, the board of trustees of which 

 has had Mr. Washburn as a member for 

 many years. 



Various Notes. 



Peter Eeinberg returned June 30 

 from a week's stay at Baltimore. He 

 is a stanch supporter of Mayor Harri- 

 son and was elected by a vote of almost 

 five to one to represent the Tenth dis- 

 trict as its delegate in the democratic 



During the summer time every 

 Florist should be using our stun- 

 ning little Wedding booklet, 

 " Flowers for the Bride." 



This booklet will get the Wedding 

 business of next fall for you, if 

 you start using it now. At any 

 rate, write us today regarding it.

 Harrison Illinois delegation was un- 

 seated by the committee on credentials. 



A. F. Amling Co., Maywood, is cut- 

 ting a large first crop of Eadiance, a 

 rose not heretofore seen in quantity in 

 this market. John Michelsen, of the 

 E. C. Amling Co., says the buyers are 

 taking to it well. 



O. Johnson, of the Batavia Green- 

 house Co., says they have their Beauty 

 crop too early; it is crowding on the 

 heels of the peonies. 



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

 says few of the retail florists are car- 

 rying any quantity of stock; feeling 

 sure of an abundant supply in the mar- 

 ket, the retailer buys only as he sells, 

 letting the wholesaler take all risks. 

 Mr. Pieser says Kennicott 's wrote more 

 tickets in June this year than last, but 

 that the average size was smaller.
