CHICAGO NOTES. 



The Wholesale District. 



Many changes are taking place in 

 the wholesale district since the com- 

 ing in of the new year. The J. B. 

 Deamud Co. has added two new em- 

 ployes, Nick Miller of Park Ridge, and 

 T. C. Yarnell, formerly with the Amer- 

 ican Florist. January 10th, the buyers 

 found the Randolph corner of the Alias 

 block vacant and Frank Benthey miss- 

 ing. He was later located at the fur- 

 ther end of the hall with Kyle & Foer- 

 ster. The stock from New Castle, Ind., 

 will be shipped to this firm. Leonard 

 Kill is no longer at Peter Reinberg's 

 and various other changes are rumored 

 to be under way with this house. 



Notes General and Personal. 



Note on death of Mrs. Josephine 

 Garland will be found in obituary col- 

 umn. 



C. Frauenfelder, who has been seri- 

 ously ill with pneumonia, is improv- 

 ing at this writing. 



A continued scarcity of coal is caus- 

 ing anxiety to the florists, and the big 

 concerns are generously helping carry 

 the smaller ones. 



Tall, slender vases are more popular 

 this season than the low effects, carry- 

 ing the flowers well above the heads 

 of the guests and arranged with. droop- 

 ing effect are very graceful. 



A. I. Simmons, retail florist at 63rd 

 street, has moved temporarily to the 

 opposite side of the street white his 

 store is being remodelled. Mr. Sim- 

 mons, who has been in poor health for 

 several years, is now much improved. 



Mr. and Mrs. Harry Philpott, of Win- 

 nipeg, B. C, were in the city last week. 

 Mr. Philpott says the flower business 

 done by his firm this winter in that 

 extreme northern climate has been 

 very good. Their flowers are shipped 

 from Chicago, Minneapolis and To- 

 ronto, and though the thermometer 

 registered 35 degrees below zero not a 

 box has been lost by freezing. 



Visitors: J. S. Wilson of Des Moines, 

 Iowa,; G. Sheppard, representing A. M. 

 Sheppard & Son of Minneapolis, Minn. 



NEPHROLEPIS ELE6ANTISSIMA COMPACTA 



Another New Fern Originating with Us. To be introduced Fall, 1909. 



Of all the valuable introductions in ferns that we have sent out, beginning with the Pierson (Nephrolepis 

 Piersoni) we consider Elegantissima cnm pacta the tncst valuable of all. paiticularly trom a commercial standpoint. 



While this resembles Elegantissima in a Rcneral way, it i> far superior to that variety, on account of its perfect 

 habit Yet it can hardly be compared with Elegantissima except in a generil way, because it occupies a place by 

 itself, and is as distinct from Elfgantissima as that variety is from Piersoni, — in fact, it bears the same relation to 

 Elegantissima that Scottii does to Bostoniensis. 



Elegantissima compacta has an ideal habit. The fronds are contiderably shorter than those r f Elegantissima, 

 and it is a more compact plant. It throws a great many more crowns naturally, making a very busi y, dwarf, com- 

 pact plant. The difference between the two varieties can be seen at a glance. 



Fine, strong plants, 2V4-in. pots, $5.00 per frozen. $35. '>0 per 100; 4-ln. potg, $7.50 per 

 dozen, $50.00 per 100; 6-ln. pans, $1.50 eactt ; S-ln. pans, $3.00 each. 



We make a spcciaUy of all kinds of Nephrolepis, carrying a large stock of^all sizes at all times,— Piersoni, 

 Elegantissima, Superbissima, Bostoniensis, Scottii, \Vhitmani, Amerpohli, etc.
