and another for Ludwig Stapp, of Kock 

 Island, 111., for three all-steel green- 

 houses, each 34x300. The Moninger 

 concern recently has added seven to its 

 force of office employees to cope with 

 the unusual volume of inquiries. R. E. 

 Kurowski was at Detroit last "v^eek. 



A temporary store has been opened 

 by George Perdikas in the big vacant 

 building at the iiorthwest corner of 

 Wabash avenue aud Van Buren street. 



John Kruchten comments interest- 

 ingly on split carnations. He says 

 that up to the last few days carnations 

 have not split so badly this season as 

 usual. Why? 



Where most growers are cutting 

 down on Richmond, the variety has 

 been so profitable to Peter Reinberg 

 that still more space will be given it 

 next season. Alice will be added to 

 the list of carnations. 



According to George Wienhoeber, St. 

 Valentine's is the most difficult holiday 

 of the year when it comes to meeting 

 the demand for appropriate novelties 

 in our line. 



Notice came to E. C. Amling last 

 week that his new Packard twin six is 

 ready for delivery. He plans to drive 

 the Franklin till spring. 



That the cold wave has been par- 

 ticularly costly to shippers of orchids 

 is the report of C. W. McKellar, who 

 saya valuable shipments from the east 

 have been frosted. He says orchids 

 are more susceptible to frost than are 

 roses or carnations, because of the 

 method of packing with air space in 

 the box. 



It isn't everyone who is able to cele- 

 brate hig birthday in the same month 

 with those of Washington and Lincoln, 

 but H. B. Kennicott, of Kennicott Bros. 

 Co., can and did February 4, at which 

 time he arrived at the age of 30 years. 



The lath house of the Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 111., is being 

 extended to the tracks of the St. Paul 

 railroad. The palm department con- 

 tinues to grow. Young kentia palms 

 occupy five houses. 



An optimistic tone is sounded by 

 the firm of Joseph Ziska & Sons, which 

 reports collections unusually good. 



The Chicago agent for Carter's 

 Tested Seeds, A. L. Berry, has removed 

 from room 505 to room 601, 230 South 

 La Salle street, where he is more pleas- 

 antly situated. 



The greater part of last week was 

 occupied by D. D. P. Roy in visiting 

 florists and growers in southern 

 Michigan.
