ST. VALENTINE'S DAY IN CHI- 

 CAGO STORES. 



St. Valentine's Day proved worthy 

 of recognition as a "special" for all in 

 the florists' business and well repaid 

 those who had made an extra effort 

 this year to have the day stand for flow- 

 ers in general and not for violets only. 

 Special window displays were made 

 by the retailers showing the flowers in 

 attractive arrangements in the new 

 Valentine boxes and baskets and the 

 public showed a practical appreciation. 

 The past custom of limiting purchases 

 to violets seems to have given way 

 and both wholesalers and retailers 

 recognize the advantages of a broader 

 range. 



At Wm. J. Smyth's the demand for 

 corsage bouquets led, preferably of

violets, lily of the valley and orchids, 

 with a very satisfactory quantity of 

 the last. Spring flowers were in de- 

 mand and were preferred growing in 

 pans or boxes rather than as cut flow- 

 ers. At the Fleischman Floral Co.'s 

 store, Manager Wienhoeber reports St. 

 Valentine's Day to far surpass the 

 sales of previous years, fifty thousand 

 violets and one thousand orchids hav- 

 ing been sold besides hampers of all 

 kinds. At A. Lange's, violets led in 

 sales on St. Valentine's Day and 

 blooming plants of azaleas, primroses, 

 hyacinths and pans of tulips, jonquils, 

 etc., came second. Mr. McAllister 

 states that the store used one hundred 

 thousand doubles and half that 

 amount of single violets. Boxes of cut 

 flowers also were a special feature of 

 the day.
