CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Christmas Green. 



With the Holidaj's near at hand the 

 shortage o£ greens is daily more ap- 

 preciated. Christmas would not be 

 Christmas to mauy customers without 

 green and an advance in price is taken 

 without complaint but it looks at this 

 writing as it the supply would be too 

 short to go around and substitutes 

 would have to take the place of the 

 natural green. The Winterson Co. 

 have in a fine supply but they are very 

 doubtful about the quantity being 

 nearly large enough to meet the de- 

 mand. Their mistletoe is exceptional- 

 ly fine, some sprays being three feet 

 across and heavily loaded with ber- 

 ries. Some of their holly also is good 

 and carries quantities of berries. Small 

 table trees are a specialty at this store 

 and are taking well with the trade.

WELIESLEY COLLEGE 



Dana Hall, Walnut Hill and Rockridge Hall 



Schools. TAII.BY, Wellesiey, Mass. 



Tel. Wellesiey 44-1 and a. Night 44-3 



of the north side, has increased the 

 capacity of his store greatly since last 

 year and a palm house is always turn- 

 ed into a sales room for plants during 

 this season, making an unusually 

 large and attractive establishment. 



A particularly pleasing setting for a 

 game dinner was arranged by J. Star- 

 rett of the La Salle Hotel Saturday 

 night. The tables were decorated with 

 roses and smilax while about the room 

 were samples of the game just as they 

 were shot, bolstered up in lifelike po- 

 sitions and placed among shrubbery 

 and wild smilax. 



Wm. J. Smyth has now one of the 

 finest retail stores in the country. Mr. 

 Smyth has just completed extensive 

 improvements and he has found this a 

 good time of the yi'ar to increase his 

 facilities. He has found with each in- 

 curring year that an increase of busi- 

 ness follows an overhauling of the 

 store. Further success to Mr. Smyth. 



Imperfect Papers. 



Horticulture's Chicago representa- 

 tive has been notified that in some of 

 the copies received here four pages 

 have been omitted from the special 

 Holiday and Sixth Anniversary num- 

 ber issued Dec. 10th. This is greatly 

 regretted and if there are any others 

 who have received imperfect copies, 

 same will be replaced from the publica- 

 tion office at once on notification. 



Personal. 



News of the death of Jos. T. Klim- 

 mer was heard in the market on Tues- 

 day A. M. and further notice will be 

 found in the obituary column. 



Mr. Youngstrand, formerly of Reeser 

 & Youngstrand. Springfield, O., is 

 looking the ground over with an idea 

 of entering the florists' business in 

 some capacity in Chicago. 



Miss Josepha Then was prominently 

 before the public last week for catch- 

 ing two men who had stolen a large 

 quantity of flowers from her father's 

 greenhouses. Miss Then, who is post- 

 ed as to the varieties her father 

 grows, w-atched the retail stores auu 

 identified the flowers when they were 

 offered for sale. As the men refused 

 to state where they got them it was a 

 clear case. 



Visitors — The usual number of flor- 

 ists looking out for their Xmas stock 

 are to be seen in the market, the gen- 

 eral scarcity of stock making it neces- 

 sary to place orders earlier than 

 usual. Among them were noted Paul 

 Beyer, South Bend, Ind.; Jos. Kruz, 

 Altoona, 111.; Mr. and Mrs. Fetters, 



Detroit: J. E. Meredith, Libertyville,
