CHICAGO NOTES. 



Mr. and Mrs. Frank Oechslin spent 

 the week end at Fond du Lac, Wis. 



Miss Carrie Zech. daughter of John 

 Zech, is slowly improving after her 

 long illness, now nearly a year. 



C. E. Anderson, foreman of the plant 

 department at Poehlmann Bros., and 

 Mrs. Anderson spent a week cruising 

 on the lakes. 



Miss O. Tonner, who successfully 

 handles flowers on commission in the 

 wholesale market, is spending a couple 

 of weeks in Wisconsin. 



Peter Reinberg, as president of the 

 school board, has been very anxious 

 over the teachers who are abroad, and 

 was greatly relieved when Supt. Ella 

 Flagg Young was heard from. 



Miss Thelma Vaughan. daughter of 

 A. L. Vaughan. is now visiting the 

 family of W. F. Lynch in Massachu- 

 setts. Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan will meet 

 her there and attend the convention at 

 Boston. 



The greenhouse plant started by 

 Lord & Burnham at Union Grove, 111., 

 has been abandoned. J. E. Meredith, 

 of the Meredith Flower & Vegetable 

 Co., Libertyville, 111., had formed a 

 company, representing a capital of 

 $17,000 for the purpose of erecting the 

 new houses. But Mr. Meredith has dis- 

 appeared leaving the Lord & Burnham 

 Co. with a lot of material cut especial- 

 ly for the houses and which may be a 

 considerable loss to that firm. 



The greenliouses of Frank Oechslin 

 probably attract more visitors than 

 any other range of glass in Chicago. 

 They are for the growing of pot plants 



only and constitute the only exclusive- 

 ly wholesale plant range in Chicago. 

 Everything is kept in such perfect or- 

 der that it is a pleasure to walk 

 through the houses and see the palms, 

 ferns and decorative plants growing 

 so nearly to perfection, as well as 

 preparations always going on for 

 blooming stock for the bedding season. 

 Christmas and Easter. Those inter- 

 ested in the growing of pot plants can 

 always find something particularly at- 

 tractive here. 



The value of an establishment like 

 that of the Poehlmann Bros., as an ed- 

 ucational institution is hard to esti- 

 mate and is sometimes lost sight of. 

 Every one who will, is allowed to visit 

 the houses, and their method of con- 

 struction, material and heating ar- 

 rangements are all open to inspection. 

 There are very few growers who so 

 willingly give out information on the 

 kinds of stock and the quantity of each 

 variety grown as Mr. Poehlmann. The 

 great advantage in this comes from 

 its accuracy which can be obtained 

 only in the system maintained there. 

 Every house and every bench has its 

 record and is expected to show a bal- 

 ance on the right side. All through 

 the plant the work in every depart- 

 ment is carried on with the same ex- 

 actness and the packing and delivery 

 is accomplished in a like systematic 

 way. One rush order for 5000 lily 

 plants at Easter was packed and de- 

 livered to the city store, a distance of 

 14 miles. When the magnitude of the 

 place is considered (seven miles of 

 houses) and modern methods every- 

 where employed, it is a wonderful 

 school for all who take advantage of it.
