he has spent seven years in cross fer- 

 tilizing and selecting the best colors, 

 largest flowers and strongest growers, 

 with the result that his greenhouses 

 present a sight not to be seen elsewhere 

 in the world. 



He now has moderate quantities of 

 distinct, separate colors, besides many 

 hundreds of colors in mixture. Because 

 ''DC cannot grow freesia bulbs com- 

 jnercially in a greenhouse, Mr. Frey 

 last September planted about 100,000 

 hulbs on a tract of leased land at 

 |j^o)itebello, Cal., where he has one of 

 hi'^ Crown Point men in charge. 



Another fine sight at Crown Point is 

 l^ho Mrs. Ward carnations; one would 

 have to go far to find better. Nor is 

 ^at^chless to be passed without com- 

 nieiit. 



-Not only does Mrs. Frey supervise 

 '"(; housework and see that everyone 

 ^ho comes under that hospitable roof 



is well fed, but she is Mr. Frey's right- 

 hand man in the greenhouses. 



When the Presidential party was in 

 town last week a fine bunch of . the 

 Eainbow freesias was sent to Mrs. 

 Wilson at the Blackstone hotel. A few 

 days later a letter of "warm appre- 

 ciation," written on White House sta- 

 tionery, came to the greenhouses. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, calls 

 attention to the fact that the shipping 

 trade has again been the salvation of 

 the market during the zero weather. 

 The houses that depend on city trade 

 have had a decidedly quiet week. Feb- 

 ruary 6 is said to have seen fewer 

 buyers than have visited the market 

 any Sunday in four months. 



Word was received last week that 

 the British authorities had granted safe 

 conduct for the importation of 3,000,- 



000 valley pips, the property of H. N. 

 Bruns, now in storage at Eotterdam. 



Finding his present space inadequate, 

 Elmer Sigwalt, of Arlington Heights, 

 111., a member of the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Association, is planning the 

 erection of two additional houses to 

 be devoted to carnations. 



So well has Carnation Alice acquitted 

 itself at the establishment of Wietor 

 Bros., in Rogers Park and at the store, 

 that all the cuttings are being rooted, 

 with the intention of planting several 

 times as much space with it next 

 season. 



As an indication of what the com- 

 ing season has in store for the florists* 

 business, the John C. Moninger Co. re- 

 ports a list of forty-six greenhouse 

 contracts in its factory, all wanted for 

 immediate shipment. Among them is 

 one for Stephen Hyde, of Carthage, 

 Mo., for an all-steel greenhouse 84x500,
