CHICAGO NOTES. 



Camellia plants with blossoms of a 

 deep rose pink are particularly attrac- 

 tive as displayed in the store windows. 

 They were grown at Frank Oechslin's. 



Some of the down-town retailers re- 

 port increased sales during the warm 

 weather of last week, so it is again 

 proven that "It is an ill wind that 

 blows nobody good." 



John Zeeh, West Madison street. 

 Oak Park, has now a very pretty place 

 and is both a grower and a retailer 

 with well arranged store. Mr. Zeeh 

 specializes in cyclamen from seed. 



The begonia Cincinnati is steadily 

 growing in favor with the retailers and 

 makes a beautiful display in the win- 

 dows. Its color and keeping qualities 

 are both superior to the Lorraine. 



At J. Kruchten's the Irish Fire 

 Flame rose is being tried out this year. 

 As a novelty it is taking well and the 

 few blooms he has to spare always sell 

 readily, short-stemmed stock bringing 

 six cents. 



The Land Show at the Coliseum is 

 now in full swing. Joe Beaver, who 

 has usually been in charge of the 

 Chicago flower shows, has been as- 

 sisting for many weeks in the prepara- 

 tions and speaks very highly of the 

 exhibits which come from all parts of 

 the United States. 



At N. J. Wietor's they began cutting 

 Sunburst in the summer and now there 

 is a fine crop which will last till after 

 Christmas if weather is favorable. Mr. 

 Wletor is also much pleased with Mi- 

 lady and Mrs. Russell, though the 

 wood is used for making stock, so few 

 blooms can be cut. Next year these 

 will be grown extensively. 



Ernest Oechslin. on Madison street, 

 River Forest, has his plant range near- 

 ly completed. There are 30,000 sq. ft. 



of glass and a nne new store occupies 

 the west corner on the front. The 

 place is now modern in every respect 

 and Mr. Oechslin, like his brother, has 

 an enviable reputation for growing 

 line plants. During the past summer 

 the dwelling house was moved to an- 

 other street and new greenhouses 

 erected on its site, making the plant 

 now- one of convenience and well 

 adapted to the growing of table ferns. 

 Bostons, azaleas, poinsettias, cyclamen 

 and other plants. 



The kumquat, well loaded with fruit, 

 to be used instead of orange plants for 

 the holidays, is an innovation in Chi- 

 cago. The difficulty and expense of 

 securing well-fruited specimen plants 

 of the otaheite orange, has made its 

 use almost prohibitive and the two 

 car loads of kumquats, which arrived 

 here from the south last week, will 

 give an opportunity to test its merits 

 as a substitute. The plants are well 

 branched, symmetrical in form, and 

 while the fruit is smaller than that of 

 the orange, it is more abundant. Some 

 of the plants, 24 Inches high, seen In 

 the retailers' windows, carry from four 

 to six dozen fruits. 



Visitors: J. P. Golmis, Kansas City, 

 Mo.; A. T. Bushong of Gary Floral Co., 

 Gary. Ind.; Michael Segamo of Ham- 

 mond Floral Co., Hammond. Ind.; 

 August Kellner, Milwaukee, Wis- 



Washington, D. C. — Fred H. Kramer, 

 Leapley & Meyer and Gude Bros. Co., 

 are among the interested merchants 

 in the matter of securing better light- 

 ing for F and G streets, along which 

 thoroughfares their respective stores 

 are located. Work on installing a new 

 system along Pennsylvania avenue is 

 soon to be begun and it is hoped that 

 the other two streets will receive at 

 tentlon next.
