 Tenner & Tonner. 



It is interesting news that Miss L. A. 

 Tonner, for many years active in the 

 trade but for some time engaged in 

 the pecan orchard business, is coming 

 back into the market. In partnership 

 with her sister, Miss O. A. Tonner, 

 Room 205, one of the best in the Atlas 

 block, has been leased and the firm of 

 Tonner & Tonner will do a general cut 

 flower commission business and also 

 handle florists' supplies. They will be 

 ready for business in a few days. 



The change will give A. T. Pyfer & 

 Co. the opportunity to gain needed 

 space, that heretofore occupied by 0. A. 

 Tonner. 



January Weather. 



General opinion would place January 

 as an unusually unfavorable month for 

 the growers, but the official records are 

 otherwise. The weather office reports 

 the mean temperature as slightly more 

 than 5 degrees above normal, with rain- 

 fall more than double the normal, but 

 the percentage of sun almost exactly 

 the average. The records show that 

 Chicago gets in January an average of 

 only forty-two per cent of the possible 

 hours of sunshine; this year it was 

 forty-one per cent. 



, Various Notes. 



Finding that he has not enough space 

 to accommodate the increasing stock of 

 a rapidly growing business, George M. 

 Weiland, of Evanston, has purchased 

 the nineteen acres to the north of and 

 adjoining the property of F. Stielow, 

 Niles Center, 111. He will begin work 

 at once on the erection of a large green- 

 house and will add to this as rapidly as 

 possible. This newly acquired space, he 

 says, will be devoted exclusively to the 

 growing of roses for the Chicago Flow- 

 er Growers' Association. 



Thp Shawyer rose, so long the target 

 of adverse criticism, is not without its 

 stanch adherents. C. L. Washburp 

 says it is all in knowing how to do it, 

 and in being willing to take the trouble. 

 For Bassett & Washburn it has alv/ays 

 been a rapid grower. In growing Shaw- 



FREESIA- 



The best that money can buy. Any quantity 

 that you want, shipped at any time. 



We charge no more for stock that stands than 

 some do for far inferior flowers. Not that 

 we sell cheap— the Grower deserves a chance 

 to make a living, but we do not overcharge. 

 Try our Freesia, and see for yourself. 



Don't forget to place your Valentine's Day 

 order in time to be sure of our best service.

yer, however, there are several things 

 that must be borne in mind. Young 

 plants, say those in 2%-inch and 3-inch 

 pots, grow so rapidly that they should 



be kept in a much cooler house than 



•most roses. Also, they require plenty 



of air. If the small plants show a little 



mildew, Mr. Washburn says it has been
