CHICAGO NOTES. 

 About Town. 



Anton Then's greenhouses is one of 

 the busiest places in Ctiicago and his 

 family are all in the trade. Together 

 they represent the growers, the whole- 

 salers and the retailers, the only fam- 

 ily in this vicinity that covers all 

 branches of the business, and each one 

 successful. 



Hoerber Bros., though among the 

 new'est in the trade, held back their 

 crop at the holidays and now are sell- 

 ing roses and carnations to better ad- 

 vantage than they could have at that 

 time. Theii- firm have under consider- 

 ation the erection of a third range the 

 coming spring. 



An especially pleasing calendar 

 with thermometer attached is being 

 sent out by the Globe Greenhouses, 

 Madison street and 53rd avenue. An- 

 other attractive calendar is that of the 

 Chicago Carnation Co., showing the 

 Washington carnation in colors, and it 

 is in much demand. 



Ed. Amerpohl of the Janesville Flo- 

 ral Co., Janesville. Wis., is in Chicago 

 exhibiting his new invention, which 

 promises to be of value to retail flor- 

 ists. It is a frostproof box of specially 

 prepared paper composition and is 

 used for the safe delivery of plants, 

 especially in cold weather. The top 

 and bottom are removable and the 

 plants can be telescoped without any 

 injury to foliage or bloom. A double 

 box with air space is used in extreme 

 weather. 



You may depend on it for positive re- 

 sults, without fear of failure or dis- 

 satisfaction.

 other fungus diseases. A clean, safe 

 and easily applied spraying material,

 house.

itflADISON, N.J. 



An unusual number of large floral 

 offerings was sent to the Medina Tem- 

 ple, Jan. 31st. where the funeral of 

 Mr. and Mrs. John G. Neumeister, who 

 died with pneumonia upon their ar- 

 rival in Pasadena, was held. One of 

 the largest was an eight-foot spray of 

 full-blown American Beauties, put up 

 by A. Lang. The emblems of the 

 order were particularly well executed 

 and the whole was a good lesson to 

 the florists who availed themselves of 

 the opportunity to visit the Temple. 



Personal. 



H. C. Blewitt of Desplaines is still 

 confined to his room. Clifford Pruner 

 is back at his post after a week's ex- 

 perience with the grip. 



Tom McAllister of A. Lang's is tak- 

 ing his vacation this week. Mr. Lang 

 is showing his appreciation of the way 

 his clerks took hold of the extra work 

 during the holidays by giving them 

 each a three days' vacation. 



J. J. Stuppy of the Stuppy Floral 

 Co., St. Joseph, Mo., who has peen 

 here for the past two weeks, says the 

 florists' business in the southwest is 

 developing rapidly. This firm will 

 build four new houses 27x400 ft. in the 

 spring to take care of their trade. 



C. Philip, now private gardener for 

 E. T. Swift of Lake Geneva. Wis., is 

 going to Pittsbuigh to take charge of 

 the Greenlawn Conservatories at the 

 home of H. J. Heinz. Mr. Philip is 

 well known in Chicago, where he for- 

 merly lived. Robt. Simpson, formerly 

 with Dr. Isham, will take charge of 

 Mr. Swift's place.

NEWS NOTES. 



It is stated that the largest com- 

 mercial greenhouse on the Pacific 

 Coast is planned by F. S. Stimson 

 millionaire lumberman of Seattle. 

 One large greenhouse is to be erected 

 at once as the initial unit of a sys- 

 tem that is to ultimately cover 10 

 acres of land situated near the head 

 of Lake Washington. 



Argust Haerens, Somergcm, Bel- 

 gii m, reports under date of January 

 12th, 1911. that on the previous Sun- 

 day several of his azalea novelties 

 were exhibited at the monthly meet- 

 ing in Ghent Casino. "Winfried 

 Haerens" obtained the most success. 

 Everyone admired the variety for its 

 large, vigorous, deep red flowers. 

 "SoKvenir William Edgar" is almost 

 like a double Mme. Van der Cruyssen, 

 a little smaller, slightly fringed, with
