CHICAGO. 



A. F. Amling and family are at Hot 

 Springs, Ark., for a few weeks. 



word has been received of the 

 arrival in Orange, Cal., of E. ('. Am- 

 litis and family, who will spend three 

 months there as usual. 



('has. McKellar sees little change in 

 the demand for flowers as the limited 

 supply now coming in is rapidly ab- 

 sorbed for funeral work. 



L. D. Eastman & Sons, 1168 E 63rd 

 street is rapidly getting business back 

 to where it was before his son, who 

 had charge of the store entered the 

 service. A part of the greenhouses at 

 1800 E. 77th street were closed at that 

 time. 



Hoerber Bros., whose wholesale 

 store is at 162 N. Wabash avenue, 

 says their greenhouses will be run to 

 full capacity next season. This year 

 in compliance with the request of the 

 government six of their twenty large 

 houses were closed making a shortage 

 of stock with which to supply their 

 large trade. 



A letter from Chas. Kruchten, now 

 in the service in France, says he has 

 not received a letter from home since 

 he sailed last June, as well as no pay. 

 These are hard lines for a soldier 

 whose family has written him con- 

 stantly. Charles had charge of the 

 greenhouses of W. J. Kruchten, 5308 

 N. Western avenue and brother of 

 John and Henry of the wholesale 

 firm of John Kruchten Co., 162 N. 

 Wabash avenue. 



I. uke Collins, of the Parkside Green- 

 houses, 1457 E. 70th St., who has been 

 in business there for seventeen years, 

 reports trade fair. Like all other 

 growers he has felt the shortage of 

 help occasioned by the war. Mr. Col- 

 lins has seen many changes in his vi- 

 cinity, the miles of prairie around the 

 south end of Jackson Park now being 

 replaced by a residence and business 

 district. His wife and son, William 

 are also actively engaged in the busi- 

 ness. 



A. Henderson, president of the A. 

 Henderson Co., has purchased the 

 Winterson Seed Co.'s store and will

take possession on Feb. 1st. This will 

 give Mr. Henderson the opportunity to 

 enlarge upon the business that he has 

 built up during the past five years in 

 both the wholesale and retail ends of 

 the trade. Mr. Henderson is well 

 known all over the country and his 

 experience and ability promise well 

 for his success in his new undertak- 

 ing. John Degnan, for many years 

 manager of the Winterson Seed Store, 



will remain. 

 Comparing the eastern wholesale 



market with that of Chicago, Paul 



Klingsporn, manager of the Chicago 



Flower Growers' Association, says that 



on his tour of the East last week he 



found that in New York carnations 



were selling at ten and twelve cents 



for good stock and six cents for splits. 



In Philadelphia, carnation prices 



ranged from ten to fifteen cents with 



Laddie selling for twenty cents. Price 



on roses were equally stiff, ten inch 



stock of ordinary varieties bringing 



fifteen cents and stock two or three 



inches longer twenty cents and longer 



grades much higher. Beauties were 



selling for a dollar each and medium 



Ophelia forty cents. The only stock 



selling for less than in Chicago was 



eattleya. 



BOSTON. 



George C. Harbison, for many years 

 in the employ of W. H. Elliott, is now 

 with Robert Cameron at Harvard Bo- 

 tanic Garden. 



The Boston Floral Supply Company 

 has opened a commodious salesroom 

 at 15 Otis street. Albert Strumph will 

 be in charge. 



Leonard Barron of Garden City, N. 

 Y., will lecture on Saturday, February 

 1, at Horticultural Hall, on the topic 

 of "Gardening After the War." 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



B. E. Pemberton, of U. S. Service, 

 has received an honorable discharge. 



Clyde La Rock, of Geo. Boucher's, is 

 home on a five day furlough from 

 Camp Mineola, L. I., and expects to be 

 discharged next month. 



In the opinion of John Dunbar, as- 

 istant superintendent of parks, the 

 present unseasonably warm weather is 

 likely to produce injuries to trees and 

 shrubs if it is followed by sudden and 

 severe cold. Should it come gradually 

 he believes no great harm will be done, 

 as in that case the sap will subside. 

 What he fears is a sudden lowering of 

 temperature to the zero mark. 



CINCINNATI. 



Paul Naber, after his term of service, 

 has been discharged and has returned 

 home. 



C. E. Critchell and E. G. Gillett are 

 among the Cincinnati contingent who 

 are going to Cleveland to the Carna- 

 tion Convention.
