Andrew J. Cronis has the sympathy 

 of the trade in the loss of a son 14 

 months old. The little one had been 

 ill for halt of its short life. 



Some familiar faces are noticed in 

 new places this week. Fred Otten- 

 bacher is seen at the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Asgociation and Jack Byers 

 now is found at Zech & Mann's. 



Another firm to seek larger quarters 

 is Joseph Ziska & Sons, who will oc- 

 cupy the second floor at 169 N. Wabash 

 avenue. For many years this firm has 

 been leaders in the manufacture of 

 ■wire work for florists and has added 

 other supplies as the business grew. 

 As they became old enough Mr. Ziska 

 took his other sons into b\isiness with 

 him. 



The supply of Christmas plants will 

 be greatly reduced this year. Ot 

 azaleas many growers have none at 

 all, and all have less than usual. Poin- 

 settias will also be in smaller supply, 

 mainly owing to the extremely hot 

 summer which made it impossible to 

 propagate the necessary stock. Cycla- 

 men, on the contrary, will be a little 

 ahead ot the normal both in quantity 

 and quality, some magnificent speci- 

 mens being offered, but these are not 

 enough to offset the shortage in 



azaleas and poinsettias. For low- 

 priced plants, primulas Chinese and 

 obconica, will be much in evidence and 

 a fair quantity of Christmas peppers 

 and Jerusalem cherries, but hardly 

 up to the usual quality. Acubas, ericas 

 and ardisias are limited in supply. 

 A few car loads of azaleas came in at 

 the proper season but the great bulk 



of the importations came about the 

 middle of November in a damaged con- 

 dition, owing to the cold weather at 

 that time. Thirteen car loads arrived 

 here during the past w§ek, many of 

 them worthless either from freezing 

 or delay. White and the pink poin- 

 settias are among the Christmas nov- 

 elties.
