THE CHICAGO FLOWER GROWERS' ASSOCIATION

CHICAGO. 

 Jens Jensen, well known landscape 

 architect addressed the Outdoor Art 

 League, Feb. ii, on Memorial Planting 



of the Lincoln Highway. 



Local growers of double violets are 

 cutting some fine stock now and will 

 he just in time for the big demand 

 for Valentine's Day. The box of flow- 

 ers has many admirers but the cor- 

 sage still ranks very high as a gift on 

 this day. 



Allie Zech, of Zech & Mann, attend- 

 ed tha directors' meeting at Detroit 

 as .president of the Chicago Florists' 

 Club. Geo. Asmus, who is one of the 

 directors and Fred Lautenschlager, 

 representing the credit committee, 

 also were in attendance and arrived 

 home this week. 



Some of the loop flower stores are 

 using their windows to -feature St. 

 Valentine's Day and others will be 

 completed in a few days. One of the 

 most elaborate is that of Geo. Wein- 

 hoeber, who has a figure of a lady in 

 full Colonial dress of brocade, full 

 skirt with hoops, and tight bodice, 

 pantalettes and slippers, and of special 

 interest to flower lovers a large colon- 

 ial bouquet is carried in her hand. 



The Chicago Florists' Club has now 

 orders tor all that remain of the mil- 

 lion and a half stamps and posters 

 :i'!\ .■rtising St. Valentine's and Moth- 

 ers' Day. Of these Fred Lauten- 

 schalger sold the enormous number of 

 one million and it is his opinion that 

 while the venture was a success both 

 as an advertisement and financially, 

 the work in the future should be taken 

 over by the F. T. D. or the S. A. F. 



Kroeschell Bros, report the largest 

 number of inquiries for boilers in the 

 past few weeks that have ever been 

 received in the same length of time 

 by this firm, which has been in busi- 

 ness many years. Manager Lauten-

sehlager thinks the outlook very en- 

 couraging. While extremely large 

 ranges may not be built at once, addi- 

 tions will be made and old boilers will 

 be replaced with new as a means to 

 greater efficiency. 



Geo. Valker, of the Valker Green- 

 houses, Minot, N. D., is spending a 

 few days in Chicago, after which he 

 will again visit his brother, Clarence, 

 who has been dangerously ill at Mad- 

 ison, Wis., where he is a student at 

 the university there. While here he 

 made his headquarters at Zech & 

 Mann's, which firm has supplied him 

 with flowers many years. He has also 

 visited in Milwaukee and will return 

 to Minot as soon as his brother is on 

 the way to recovery
