CHICAGO NOTES. 



Some Plant Growers. 

 The supply in the plajit line prom- 

 ises to be all that can be desired for 

 the holidays. Azaleas have been arriv- 

 ing very freely the past week. The 

 buds this year are much smaller than 

 usual, and some fear is expressed that 

 the plants may not be at their best in 

 time for the holidays. Belgium grow- 

 ers state that the season has not been 

 favorable, and that stock another year 

 is liable to be much smaller in conse- 

 quence. 



Sam Pearse was one of the first men 

 to enter the plant business in Chicago. 

 Twenty-two years ago he bought his 

 place on Clybourne avenue, where he 

 had a clear field around him. This Is 

 now in the very heart of a manufac- 

 turing district, and as a result his 

 gi-eat brick smoke stack is ornamented 

 with "for sale" signs and Sam some 

 day will try another "far out" location 

 and very possibly live to see the city 

 crowd upon him again, for he is still 

 one of the young men with a wife 

 who is his right hand in business and 

 eight sturdy youngsters to help some 

 day. Tv/enty-flve hundred azaleas are 

 being potted up and bulbous stock is 

 being rapidly boxed for forcing. There 

 are 1(1,000 cold-storage longiflorum gi- 

 granteiims and other lilies in all stages 

 from bulbs just starting up to plants 

 in llower. Giganteum he prefers to 

 Formosa. Multifiorum is favored, 

 other than as cold storage. A big 

 stock of poiusettias for cutting and in 

 pans is coming on. 



John Lang built his range of houses 

 nearly a quarter of a century ago, and 

 his local trade has lately made the 

 growing of cut floweis moie of a neces- 

 sity than plants, consequently this year 

 nearly all his glass is devoted to that 

 purpose and to bedding stock, and he 

 plans his chrysanthemums and carna- 

 tions to be out of the way in time for 

 the latter. Mr. Lang has bought ten 

 acres of land farther out and in the 

 near future will build an up-to-date 

 range of houses. 



Peter Srozczynski, better known as 

 (and far more easily pronounced) "Big 

 Pete," who has a very fine place, also 

 finds the cut flower trade crowding out 

 the plants. The city has grown up 

 to him, but it has brought the retail 

 business to his door and thus the city's 

 growth often helps while it changes 

 the nature of the business for the 

 florist. 



Frank Oechslin, the largest plant 

 grower in the city, has developed his 

 business in the last ten years. To 

 those who visit this establishment far 

 out on the West Side for the first time 

 it is a revelation. Five delivery wag- 

 ons carry his plants to the retail trade, 

 north and south. These are modern, 

 enclosed vehicles, with tiays and fittid 

 fnr wairain.e durina- the cold weather. 

 These wagons in the busy season m-f 

 often seen far into the night return- 

 ing o'' starting out with a load bound 

 for points many miles distant. Mr. 

 Oechslin's second carload of azaleas 

 came in last week. In poinsettias from 

 twelve to fifteen thousand are planned 

 for this season, one-third of which are 

 in five to ten-inch pans. Poinsettias 

 as well as rhrysanfhenmnis here are 



grown as plants only. Boston and 

 Whitman! ferns, cyclamens and ob- 

 conica primroses are grown in quan- 

 tity. Baby Rambler roses are among 

 the plants for Easter trade. Mr. Oechs- 

 lin does a wholesale business only, and 

 has 'he support of the trade accord- 

 ingly. 



General News. 



The Chicago Woman's Club, an or- 

 ganization of great influence in Chi- 

 cago and having a membership of 500, 

 has set its influence toward the mak- 

 ing of the City Beautiful. Last week 

 it entertained representatives of the 

 twenty-four improvement organiza- 

 tions this city has and Alderman Beil- 

 fuss, chairman of the Special Park 

 Commission, and City Forester Prost 

 gave addresses. 



Harry B. Clow has purchased twen- 

 ty acres of the Ferry tract at Lake 

 Forest, 111., and will spend $100,000 on 

 buildings and landscape gardening. 

 Lake Forest is the home of many of 

 the finest private estates in this coun- 

 try. 



The big signs, "World's Greatest 

 Flower Show," are conspicuous in the 

 down town district and interest in the 

 coming event is becoming more in- 

 tense each day. Twelve local nursery- 

 men will exhibit at the show. 



The Warwick Flower Shop. 47th 

 St. and Forestville Ave., has been pur- 

 chased by C. J. Cleve Houck, former- 

 ly at 3411 Croton Ave., Cleveland, O. 



Tickets for the Stag at the flower 

 show are out. Price $1.00. 

 Personal. 



T. J. Corbrey left last Tuesday for 

 his home in Long Beach, Cal., after 

 several weeks' visit with his old 

 friends in the wholesale business. 



F. Benthey of the Benthey Coats- 

 worth Co. is doing his duty as a cit- 

 izen by serving on jury. 



Mrs. W. E. Kelley, wife of the pres- 

 ident of the Horticultural Society of 

 Chicago, has been honored by Elmer 

 D. Smith who names a beautiful new 

 chrysanthemum after her. 



Visitors. — A. Elberfield, proprietor of 

 the Alpha Floral Co. of Kansas City, 

 Mo., accompanied by his wife; John 

 A. Evans, Richmond, Ind.; D. B. 

 Hazen, Batavia, 111.; Mrs. Clara 

 Brown, Jackson, Miss.; A. C. Brown,
