CHICAGO NOTES. 



The need of well-kept trees in the 

 streets of Chicago was shown to an 

 appreciative audience at the Klio 

 Club Thursday by means of an illus- 

 trated lecture by City Forester Prost. 

 Though he modestly disclaims being 

 a public speaker, he keeps his audi- 

 ence thoroughly interested and with 

 his stereopticon leaves no doubt in 

 their minds as to the needs of the 

 city streets. 



The Chicago Council took its first 

 step Jan. 24 towards reclaiming the 

 entire water front for the city and 

 park bounds by adopting an order di- 

 recting the mayor to appoint "re- 

 clamation" commission to take the 

 necessary court action to establish 

 the rights of the city to at least 25 

 acres of made land, valued in the 

 neighborhood of $20,000 an acre. 



The council also gave official en- 

 dorsement of the project to hold an 

 international municipal congress and 

 exposition in Chicago in the fall of 

 1911. 



The West Park commissioners at 

 their annual meeting voted to raise 

 the salaries of their employes, with 

 the exception of Jens Jensen, who, 

 according to the Tribune, will receive 

 but $1000, fixed salary, instead of 

 $2,400, as formerly. He will, how- 

 ever, be allowed extra pay for extra 

 duties. 



The executive committee of the 

 Horticultural Society of Chicago will 

 meet Feb. 4 at 2 p. m. at the Art In- 

 stitute. 



Among the Chicago florists who left 

 for Pittsburgh with J. A. Valentine 

 and Emil Glauber of Denver are C. L. 

 Washburn, W. N. Rudd. C. C. Cropp, 

 M. Barker, Geo. Asmus, N. J. Rupp, P. 

 J. Foley, ' A. T. Pyfer, F. Lautens- 

 shlager. P. Olsen, Nic. Zweitel, W. C. 

 Johnson, A. Poehlmann, E. C. Pruner. 

 Personal. 

 D. D. Johnson, of the Evergreen 

 Brand Fertilizers, has returned from 

 a trip to Ohio and leaves for Michi- 

 gan In the interest of the business. 

 D. D. .Johnson states that a reason- 

 ably-sized package of the Evergreen 

 Brand Fertilizer will be sent free to 

 any State Experiment Station, pro- 

 vided the application is made direct 

 by the official in charge of the sta- 

 tion. 



Adam Graham, Cleveland, Ohio, 

 was in the city and expects to leave 

 for Japan soon to take a well-earned 

 vacation. 



Robt. W. Leonard, traveling sales- 

 man for the Leonard Seed Co., of 

 which his father is president, was 

 married January 18 to Miss Allita 

 Hotchkiss.

 Emil Glauber, of Denver, Col., en 

 route for Pittsburgh; F. Dorner, La- 

 fayette, Ind.; J. W. Steiner, with R. R. 

 Davis & Co., Morrison, 111. Mr. Steiner 

 says the coal situation has been a 

 serious one with them. One range of 

 houses, containing about 40,000 square 

 feet, devoted to the raising of cucum- 

 bers, was frozen because they could 

 not get coal. The greater part of the 

 crop had been harvested, but the 

 range is left empty and therefore un- 

 productive.
