CHICAGO NOTES. 



Flower Shipments and the Cold 



Weather. 



The cold weatlier of the week be- 

 fore Christmas made the florists rather 

 looli for a change, but the last week is 

 here and Monday morning early, the 

 thermometer registered three below, 

 and all day long the cold was itensi- 

 fied by a sharp, cutting wind. Any 

 packages not properly wrapped and 

 many that were, could not withstand 

 the intense cold while waiting on a 

 platform. The losses will no doubt 

 foot up to a great amount when they 

 are all known. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. has lost 

 many valuable flowers because they 

 were shipped without sufficient wrap- 

 ping. 200 American Beauties and 400 

 Roman hyacinths were a part of one 

 lot that the grower will lose while 

 gaining experience. 



There are very few of the eastern 

 shippers who send either plants or 

 flowers to this market who will not 

 have a loss to put on their books, 

 where they had expected a good sum 

 on the other side. 



Karry Rowe had some beautiful 

 heathers come in from New York 

 frozen. He immediately placed them 

 in cold storage and they completely 

 recovered. 



Chrysanthemums. 



Mathew Evert and son, .Tohn Evert, 

 chrysanthemum specialists, closed out 

 the last of their blooms Tuesday. A. 

 W. Meyer of South Holland, 111., has 

 been selling blooms of his new pom- 

 poms in the Flower Growers' Market 

 uii to Christmas and there will be 



some even later. They are single, 

 with a fluffy twisted petal and come 

 in white, yellow and pink. They are 

 not yet named. 



Monlnger's New Building. 



The new brick warehouse of the 

 Moninger Co., is nearing completion. 

 It is two stories high, 50x75 feet, and 

 is ecpiipped with all the latest im- 

 provements. It has iron windows and 

 doors and is to be used exclusively 

 for heating pipe and fittings. The 

 Moninger people have an optimistic 

 outlook for the new year because there 

 are many planning new buildings, 

 which' is a good indication of an in- 

 crease in business. Their new com- 

 plete catalogues are just out. 



Visit of GIfford Pinchot. 



Gifford Pinchot, chief o£ forestry, 

 was in Chicago last Monday, attend- 

 ing a conference of railroad magnates. 

 His plea was for the railroads to taice 

 up the replanting of forests. It was 

 suggested in return, by Pres. H. N. 

 Mudge of the Rock Island road that 

 it would be well for tlie government 

 to take up this work as many think 

 the railroads will be owned by the 

 government within fifty years. Mr. 

 Pinchot was assisted by assistant for- 

 ester R. 3. Kellogg with facts and 

 figures regarding I'eforestation. Mr. 

 Pinchot is opposed to the present laws 

 regarding taxation of timber lands. 



Miscellaneous. 



Trees to the value ot about $200 

 have been cut down and stolen from 

 the home of Dr. Geo. Fiske on Sheri- 

 dan Road. It is the opinion of the 

 police that they were taken to be sold 

 as Christmas trees. Residents of Lake 

 t'orest have had to employ watchmen 

 to guard their cedars. 



The usual amount of artificial dec- 

 orations are used in the big depart- 

 ment stores, but it is usually where 

 the natural could not be used and 

 when it is well done no doubt has its 

 lesson which may perhaps result in 

 good to the florist later. 



The Midwinter Flower Show of the 

 West Chicago Park Commissioners 

 will ofien Sunday, December 19, in the 

 Garfleld Park Conservatory, under the 

 supervision of John Sell, head garden- 

 er for the West Park system. 



Personal. 



Anton Then has the sympathy of the 

 trade in a succession of disasters 

 which have fallen to his lot recently. 

 His son is just recovering from an 

 illness, a valuable horse died and an- 

 other seems likely to follow, his heat- 

 ing plant went wrong and the houses 

 barely escaped freezing and now his 

 daughter is ill. Those who know Mr. 

 and Mrs. Then and their family, know 

 there is plenty of grit and expect the 

 tide to turn again soon. 



Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Walther are re- 

 ceiving the congratulations of their 

 friends. Mr. Walther has been in the 

 florists' business on 63rd street, Chi- 

 cago, many vears and Mrs. Walther 

 was Miss Margaret Hill, formerly of 

 Maywood, daughter of the well-known 

 florist of that suburb. Mr. Walther 

 is manager of the Flower Growers' 

 Market, successor to Percy Jones. 



Miss Frances Brundage of the E. H. 

 Hunt Co., will spend Christmas at 

 Galesburg. TU. 



H. H. Knope with J. Breitmoyers' 

 Sons of Detroit, was a Chicago visitor.
