Union restaurant June 5, states that it 

 will be peony night. With the notice a 

 neatly printed copy of the new by-laws 

 was enclosed. The book also has a list 

 of the members of the club. 



Erne & Klingel say that Memorial 

 day business was much better than last 

 year. Mr. Erne said that the shipping 

 orders never were so numerous in all 

 the years of his experience. 



Commencements are growing in im- 

 portance to both the wholesaler and re- 

 tailer, according to Phil Schupp, of J. 

 A. Budlong's, who has found a decided 

 increase in the demands each year for 

 suitable stock. 



"With the exception of the new ice 

 box that has been ordered, the new 

 store of Zech & Mann looks complete 

 in every detail. The delivery of the 

 new refrigerator, which will be a great 

 deal largM than the old one, is expected 

 to materialize this week, and for the 



present the old one is in service. When 

 both are in operation they will aflford 

 ample space for keeping stock in good 

 shape. 



A. L. Vaughan says some of the best 

 looking peonies this year turned out 

 badly after a short time in storage, 

 and it was necessary to exercise care 

 in selecting stock for shipping. 



John Sinner is among those who are 

 wearing a satisfied smile after the Me- 

 morial day rush and, outside of the fact 

 that everything went along in good 

 shape, he adds that it was the best 

 week he has had in May since he en- 

 tered the local market. 



John F. Kidwell, president of the Chi- 

 cago Flower Growers' Association, com- 

 mented on the excellent quality of car- 

 nations for the Memorial.day trade, and 

 says that while there were none too 

 many on the market, there is no ques- 

 tion but what the majority were able 

 to hold up on shipping. 



Mrs. W. E. Horton, who seldom misses 

 a day at her work as the head of Bas- 

 sett & Washburn's office staff, was ab- 

 sent June 2 on account of illness. C. L. 

 Washburn is preparing to depart for 

 Pasadena, Cal., the latter part of this 

 month, in order to spend the month of 

 July with his son, E. B. Washburn, and 

 family. 



May was a favorable month for cut 

 flower production. The mean tempera- 

 ture for the month was slightly above 

 normal, but the excess was due to the 

 heat wave in the first four days of the 

 month, the rest of the month being 

 cooler than normal. The rainfall was 

 an inch above normal, but at the same 

 time the percentage of possible sun- 

 shine was one per cent above the aver- 

 age for May, there being an average of 

 nine hours and twenty-four minutes of 

 sun each day. The last frost of the 

 season was May 11, about a week earlier 

 than usual. 



Ideal Power, a house organ issued by 

 the Chicago Penumatic Tool Co., in its 

 May issue carried an illustration show- 

 ing a scene in the boiler shop of 

 Kroeschell Bros. Co., with pneumatic 

 riveting, chipping and calking hammers 

 at work on a big greenhouse boiler 

 lying on its back. 



P. L. McKee was at Indianapolis May 

 30 to take in the big motor races. 



T. B. Grey, formerly with the Geo. M. 

 Garland Co., is now connected with the 

 Chicago office of the Missouri State 

 Life Insurance Co. 



Harry Garland is employed by Frank 

 Garland, his uncle, in his greenhouse 

 establishment at Des Plaines. 



The purchase of a 1-ton Universal 

 motor truck has added another unit to 

 the delivery facilities of the Geo. Witt- 

 bold Co. This makes the second truck 

 purchased by this concern since the first 

 of the year, the first being a 1%-ton 

 Autocar, which has been giving splendid 

 satisfaction. Louis Wittbold has pur- 

 chased Geo. Garland's big Dolson road- 

 ster, and from all reports will burn up
