POINSETTIAS IN CHICAGO. 



Most of the Chicago growers have a 

 fine stock of poinsettias in pots and 

 pans. If the weather follows the pres- 

 ent indication and gets cooler, stock 

 will be in fine shape for the holidays. 



The warm weather has had a ten- 

 dency to lengthen the stems. For cut 

 flowers this is a good feature, especi- 

 ally if plants have plenty of room. 

 But the early stock in pans for decora- 

 tive purposes are better if kept short.
