CHICAGO NOTES. 

 Trade Items. 

 What has been long known as the 

 Flower Growers' Market will be di- 

 vided when the old lease expires 

 May 1. 



Few novelties are seen in honor of 

 St. Patrick. The green carnations, 

 roses and tulips no longer cause sur- 

 prise and now that they have become 

 common there are fewer of them seen 

 on the counters. 



The last touches are being put on 

 Harry Rowe's store and it is one of 

 the most tasteful and complete retail 

 stores in Chicago. Two immense Aus- 

 trian jardiniers of exquisite coloring 

 are added to the window equipment. 



A Lang is showing novelties suitable 

 for St. Patrick's Day. Among them are 

 the green shamrock pots, fashioned 

 with three compartments, shamrock 

 shape and holding three plants, and 

 they take well. The new green hat 

 pot-covers in different sizes were also 

 seen here. 



A new company, to be known as 

 the Chicago Flower Association, is the 

 latest enterprise struggling into ex- 

 istence. It will consist of a large 

 number of stockholders. The objt>ct 

 is a commission house to sell their 

 own stock. Some of the largest grow- 

 ers in this vicinity are interested and 

 the project, if it materializes, may 

 cut heavily into the business of some 

 of the older houses. 



The Foley Manufacturing Co., 25th 

 street and Western avenue, are mak- 

 ing arrangements that, when com- 

 pleted, will greatly facilitate the of- 

 fice work. Their new general cata- 

 logue will soon be out and will in- 

 clude their new steel gutters with 

 wood sill which they have used ex- 

 tensively this year and which can be 

 seen at Calvary cemetery and at Geo. 

 W^eiland's new range at Evanston, 111. 

 Mr. Foley expects to be with the 

 Chicago party at Boston next week. 



John Sinner, for several years their 

 manager, has, with the J. A. Budlong 

 Co., rented the second floor of the 

 building two doors north of E. C. 

 Amling's on Randolph street and will 

 take with him several of the present 

 stockholders. The others will occupy 

 the southeast end of their present 

 quarters. The .J. A. Budlong business 

 has grown to such proportions that 

 more space was a necessity and their 

 old quarters in the Atlas block will 

 be gladlv left for the larger ones 

 May 1. 



The Chicago Artificial Flower Co., 

 whose office is at 4813-15 North 40th 

 avenue, has lately added a second fac- 

 tory to their plant. They specialize 

 in paper flowers for decorative pur- 

 poses and a feature is the furnishing 

 of flowers to florists for automobile 

 decorations and other uses where 

 fresh material cannot be conveniently 

 used, and accompanying blue prints 

 to show how best to use them. 



This company was organized 15 ' 

 years ago. The present owner and 

 manager, F. Spikings, purchased the 

 business six years ago and has re- 

 placed the old equipment with new 

 and modern machinery. He would be 

 pleased to send samples as per adver- 

 tisement on another page.
