CHICAGO. 



A Miller, president of the American 

 Bulb Co., is back from an eastern trip 

 and Robt. Newcomb of the same firm 

 is on the Pacific slope gathering in 

 the orders. 



jVll the seed stores are reaping a 

 harvest this week. The sun shines 

 once more and the garden is the most 

 popular part of the cit.v and suburbs 

 once more. 



P. J. Fole.v, president of the Foley 

 Greenhouse Manufacturing Co., has 

 returned from a trip through the 

 south, one of the results of which is 

 an order from R. C. Kerr of Houston, 

 for several new greenhouses to be 

 built this spring. 



Chicago florists can not agree with 

 Miss Jarvis. the originator of Moth- 

 ers' Day, in her request that money 

 planned tor flowers for mother 

 b.^ used for war savings stamps 

 instead. "Mother" needs the silent 

 token of sympathy and love that 

 only flowers can bring this year, 

 when her boys are away per- 

 haps never to return, as she may 

 never need them again or as she 

 never needed them before. And look- 

 ing at it from another standpoint, is 

 it commercializing the day any more 

 to send flowers than to send thrift 

 stamps. Wlio responded more freely 

 tlian the florists to the calls for Lib- 

 erty Loans? And how can florists re- 

 spond to the future calls sure to 

 come if these tender tokens are to be 

 cut out of our lives?
