We were Rreatly liileresteil in lln' 

 new I'ernel rose Mnie Colette Marii 

 not. a splendid oranpe flower that 

 promises to be superior to Sunburst 

 at Its 'oest. We have never seen any 

 rose to bloom like it. Canes from the 

 bottom after havliiR had a flower cut 

 from thom break out into from four 

 to seven vlRorous shoots each beorlnn 

 a bloom. It does best on its own 

 roots. Mr. Pierson says that he will 

 plant 16.CMI0 of this rose for the com- 

 InK season. IS.OOn of "Evelyn" will 

 also be Rrown, and "Wlnnett" will 

 take a leading place anions the com- 

 InK favorites l)ecause of its marvelous 

 productiveness. There are close to a 

 quarter million roses planted in this 

 mammoth establishment and about 

 125.nnf» carnations and countless chrys- 

 anthemums in which al' the novelties 

 are included. Mr. Pierson says he has 

 not entirely free of the chrysanthe- 

 mum midge, which gave him inces- 

 sant trouble two years ago. Carna- 

 tions generally look good with the ex- 

 ception of Thenanthos, practically 

 every flower of which shows a burst 

 calyx. 



Mr. Pierson Is preparing to make 

 an exhaustive trial of peat as fuel, 

 having a large deposit of this mate- 

 rial on his property.

CHICAGO'S SNOW BLOCKADE. 



The I'iilure kIiows Imw .Mr. Hancock 

 (to the right) and others spend their 

 time after business hours. In tin- 

 ilowii-town district It Is a much worse 

 liroblem. for when side walks and 

 street car tracks are cleared the 

 drifts between them are six and eight 



feet high and extend miles at a 

 stretch. The loop is now practically 

 cleared of snow but that is only one 

 square mile of Chicago's 200 square 

 miles of area. Conveyances of all 

 kind must use the street car tracks, 

 making the daily trips very tiresome 

 on the surface cars. Coal wagons 

 have riglit of way always, but how to 

 get near enough to a building to de- 

 liver the goods is the question and 

 frequently a street car must wait 

 while a load of coal is carried in. 

 Florists will have occasion to long re- 

 member this winter. 



CHICAGO. 



Wm. Reid, formerly with the W. W. 

 Barnard Co., has now joined the A. L. 

 Randall forces and is on a trip 

 through the central west. 



W. W. Adams, 1169 N. State street, 

 has shown his willingness to conserve 

 coal by closing the fine conservatories 

 connected with his store. 



C. FYauenfelder, 3343 W. Madison 

 street, whose business has been built 

 up largely by catering to the demand 

 for funeral flowers, says he find:; 

 trade this year almost as good as any 

 other. Miss Edna, his chief assistant, 

 has lately added the bookkeeping to 

 her share of the work. 



TORONTO, ONT. 



Some of Toronto's retail florists 

 are advocating the removal of duty 

 on flowers. 



The next regular meeting of the 

 Florists' and Gardeners' Club will be 

 held on February 19. 



The Toronto Retail Florists' Club 

 met in Dunlop's Hall on January 14, 

 with President George Geraghty in 

 the chair. About forty florists were 

 present. A design for a window dis- 

 play card for St. Valentine's adver- 

 tising was chosen — A large red heart 

 bearing the inscription in white let- 

 ters, "Let your Valentine be flowers."
