tain plants of the, university's bo- 

 tanical department over the winter 

 months. Plans are being drawn for ex- 

 tensive greenhouses which are to be 

 greeted for the university's botany de- 

 partment, to be located in the block 

 extending from Cottage Grove avenue 

 to Maryland avenue and from Fifty- 

 eighth to Fifty-ninth streets. It is es- 

 timated that the new buildings will cost 

 $40,000. 



Retail bulb sales are now in full 

 swing and present indications are that 

 the season will be most successful, ac- 

 cording to Arnold Bingier, of the W. W. 

 Barnard Co. 



The Western Floral House, 2347 West 

 Chicago avenue, of which Mrs. J. P. 

 Banasik is manager, reports a good busi- 

 ness in that locality last week. 



The retail demand for bulbs is rapid- 

 ly gaining strength, according to John 

 Degnan, of Winterson's Seed Store. In 

 his opinion some of the wholesale buy- 

 ers are, so to speak, giving up the 

 ghost, and are buying in this country. 

 This is due to the fact that the Hol- 

 landers are slow in making deliveries 



because of the great diflSculties in ship- 

 ping. In some varieties of bnlbs, such 

 as some of the forcing varieties of 

 early tulips and some varieties of 

 Darwins, he anticipates \^ ajarcity. 

 Mixed hyacinths and possibly * certain 

 varieties of 'forcing daffodils may be in- 

 cluded in this list. 



It is eight years since Jacob J. Sluis, 

 of Niles Center, started in the seed 

 business. He is the fourth generation 

 of seedsmen in his family. His chief 

 activities are directed to the importing 

 of seeds from Holland, Belgium, Den- 

 mark and Germany, though he deals 

 quite extensively in domestic seeds. 



L. Baumann & Co. last week issued 

 an attractive late fall and Christmas 

 catalogue containing many new and ar- 

 tistic designs. 



The large shipment of phalsenopsis 

 expected by the Poehlmann Bros. Co. 

 has arrived in Seattle, Wash., in good 

 shape. Andrew Benson, the collector, 

 and the winner of the famous punch 

 bowl, is expected in Chicago this week. 



A complete store equipment, includ- 



ing display refrigerator, wall cases, 

 counters and register stand, all done in 

 white enamel, has been installed in the 

 store of F. C. Mendonza, at 4300 Grand 

 boulevard by the Koellner Refrigerator 

 & Ice Machine Co. 



Let come what may in the way of 

 weather, Miss L. A. Tonner, of O. A. 

 & L. A. Tonner, should worry. That is, 

 as far as her personal comfort is con- 

 cerned. All this because she plans to 

 leave the city this week on her annual 

 trip to Baconton, Qa., where she owns 

 a large pecan grove. She expects to be 

 gone about ten days. While she is 

 away, the partitions shutting off the 

 space in the front of the salesroom, 

 until now occupied by a jeweler, will be 

 removed and the room used for display 

 purposes. 



According to Allie Zech, of Zech & 

 Mann, who, with his wife, motored to 

 Maywood October 21, William H. Am- 

 ling has the best looking chrysanthe- 

 mum crop he has had the pleasure of 

 growing in several years. Mr. Zech 

 said the Hallidays are particularly fine.
