flower house in the Atlas block for sev- 

 eral years and Miss L. A. Tonner has 

 been engaged in the florists' supply busi 

 ness since the days of Vaughan, McKel- 

 lar & Winterson, with which firm she was 

 employed. At one time she was with 

 E. H. Hunt, and later it was she who 

 started the supply department of the 

 A. L. Randall Co. The bookkeeper for 

 the new firm will be Miss Anna Tonner, 

 a younger sister. The florists' business 

 seems to run in this family, as the 

 father and uncle and brother of the 

 ladies were all florists. 



The new firm will occupy rooms 205 

 and 206 of the Atlas block. At the 

 present time the painters, decorators 

 and carpenters are having things much 

 their own way, but the house is trans- 

 acting business. 



Various Notes. 



The development of a larger business 

 is indicated by the incorporation of the 

 Johnson Basket Co., with $2,400 capital 

 stock. The incorporators are Charles 

 A. Johnson, Oscar Leistner and Theo- 

 dore Kirchen, all of whom are well 

 known in the trade in Chicago. Mr. 

 Johnson is a retail florist who devel- 

 oped baskets for his own use and found 

 them so salable he began .wholesaling. 

 Mr. Leistner is a manufacturers' sales 

 agent, who established a wide connec- 

 tion, first as sales representative of Ove 

 Gnatt, perpetuator of foliages. Mr. 

 Kirchen is Mr. Leistner *s chief assist- 

 ant. 



It is interesting to note how now 

 and then an old variety comes back. 

 The Killarney rose was tried and prac- 

 tically discarded before its merit was 

 discovered; perhaps it will be the same 

 with Carnation Andrew Carnegie. Wie- 

 tor Bros, have been watching the per- 

 formance of a small batch of it retained 

 by a neighbor and have concluded it

is worth another trial, so they bought 

 all the cuttings the neighbor can sup- 

 ply and will give it a whole house next 

 season. The variety will be remem- 

 bered as a scarlet sport of Harlowarden 

 introduced in 1908 by the Chicago 

 Carnation Co. Harlowarden was a re- 

 markably free grower. 



The contract for material for the 

 erection of George Weiland's new 

 greenhouses at Niles Center has been 

 let to the Foley Greenhouse Mfg. Co. 



The houses will be three in nulnber, of 

 pipe construction, each 34x400 feet. 

 The work of construction, which will 

 begin in about three weeks, will be 

 under the direction of William Milan- 

 der. These houses will be used to 

 grow roses for the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Association. With the com- 

 pletion of the new houses Mr. Weiland 

 will have 125,000 square feet of glass.
