a slump. The quick return of cold 

 weather, however, quite effectually 

 checked this tendency, and, though 

 there are enough carnations now avail- 

 able to fill all orders, the market is 

 fairly stiff. 



Valley is decidedly scarce. So, too, 

 are good Easter and calla lilies, al- 

 though the supply of the latter is larger 

 than it was a week ago. There is a 

 large supply of good sweet peas on the 

 market in spite of the fact that growers 

 of late have been troubled with buds 

 dropping. Of bulbous stock there is a 

 large supply and a varied assortment. 

 An infinite variety of tulips are offered 

 and Paper Whites, Romans, jonquils 

 and daffodils may be had in quantity. 

 Freesia, too, is becoming much more 

 plentiful, and that received is of good 

 quality. Violets are sufficient to meet 

 the demand. Pansies are not moving 

 as they should. As for stevia, it is 

 quite off the market. 



Sprengeri and plumosus are well on 

 the short side of the market and this 

 causes a correspondingly large demand 

 for other greens. 



A. L. Randall Co. Doubles Space. 



The entire third floor of the Le Moyne 

 building has been acquired by the A. L. 

 Bandall Co. under a long term lease. 

 The deal was consummated January 



29, and possession was taken at once. 

 Frank Johnson says this is one of the 

 evidences of the company's faith in the 

 coming year and its possibilities. The 

 newly acquired space is approximately 

 20,000 square feet. It will be devoted 

 almost exclusively to the manufacture 

 of baskets and florists' accessories. 



Fleischman's New Manager. 



"Surely a live town; something do- 

 ing every minute." The speaker was 

 William Graham, who recently came 

 from Philadelphia to take the manage- 

 ment of the store of the Fleischman 

 Floral Co., on Jackson boulevard. 

 "There is as much business here in 

 every hour as most Philadelphia stores 

 do all day, but do you know," contin- 

 ued Mr. Graham, "Chicago flower buy- 

 ers don't seem to be as particular as 

 they are in the east." Mr. Graham 

 comes to Chicago with a reputation for 

 having turned out work second to none 

 in the east and has been given complete 

 charge of the Fleischman store, which 

 has been without a manager since 

 George Wienhoeber resigned, a year 

 ago, to go into business for himself. 

 Many leaders in the trade here have 

 called on Mr. Graham, to bid him wel- 

 come to our city. 



Dr. Maurice Rubel, president of the 

 Fleischman Floral Co. since the death 



of his brother, B. F. Rubel, has gone to 

 Florida for a vacation. 



A recent addition to the already com- 

 plete facilities of the Fleischman store 

 is a paint room for the decoration of 

 baskets bought in an unfinished condi- 

 tion, thereby securing exclusive color- 

 ings. 



For St. Valentine's day red heart 

 baskets containing candy as well as 

 flowers will be featured. 



A Chance to Win. 



The handsomest prize ever offered at 

 a flower show in Chicago was the solid 

 silver punch bowl donated to the Flo- 

 rists' Club last fall by the Greenhouse 

 Manufacturers' Association. It was 

 not awarded and still is on hand. The 

 trustees of the club have decided to 

 raffle the trophy, chances $1 each. They 

 announce that the list has been started 

 by the following: A. Henderson, George 

 Asmus, H. N. Bruns, W. J. Keimel and 

 C. L. Washburn, twenty-five chances 

 each; Paul R. Klingsporn, ten chances. 

 Those who wish to test their luck while 

 helping the club will send remittance 

 for chances to Treasurer Klingsporn, 

 182 North Wabash avenue. 



The club meets at the Bismarck 

 Thursday, February 10, when a large 

 attendance is expected to view the dis-
