Tlie unusual conditions have forced 

 the Cicero Floral House to close its 

 store at 14 N. Cicero avenue.

The result of the agitation of the 

 coal question reported one week ago 

 and the efforts of the committee, com- 

 posed of Peter Reinberg, ' August 

 Poehlmann and C. L. Washburn, seem 

 likely to be of direct benefit to the 

 growers, many of whom were nearing 

 the daMger point in their coal supply. 

 E. A. Ollinger, 440 S. Dearborn street, 

 was named by the committee as the 

 one to whom applications for coal 

 .should be made. These applicants 

 win then be able to secure coal if they 

 have complied with the fallowing re- 

 quirements of the fuel administration, 

 first, that they have deposited $200.00 

 in some bank and have a letter from 

 the banker saying the same was set 

 aside for buying coal, and second 

 they must show that they are using 

 coal as savingly as possible. If this 

 works out as expected, it will afford 

 relief to many whose all is invested 

 in greenhouses.

An illustrated lecture on "The Iris" 

 was ^iven at Horticultural Hall last 

 Saturday afternoon by Arthur Herring- 

 ton of Madison, N. J., before the Mas- 

 sacliusetts Horticultural Society. He 

 spoke of the adaptability of the iris, 

 which in the past charmed even Soc- 

 rates. ,saying that it will grow on any 

 soil. It flourishes in every State in the 

 Union, and therefore many horticul- 

 turists and others are advocating it as 

 a candidate for the lionor of being 

 chosen as the National flower.
