good prices. Carnations are in sufficient 

 supply, but are selling well at an ad- 

 vanced figure. 



Valley is easier than it has been for 

 some time, due to the increased supply 

 of freesia which is arriving. The lat- 

 ter item is of excellent quality and is 

 selling readily, good quantities being 

 use<t for corsage work. The supply of 

 Easter lilies is large enough to meet 

 the demand and stock is selling at 

 slightly advanced prices. Orchids are 

 in good demand and are clearing well. 

 The supply of violets is larger than it 

 has been, but the stock is selling well. 

 Sweet peas also arrive in larger quan- 

 tity. The quality is excellent and bet- 

 ter prices are being obtained. Paper 

 Whites arrive in good supply, the qual- 

 ity is good and they are moving well. 

 Small quantities of calendula and mig- 

 nonette arrive, but they form only an 

 insignificant item. 



Tulips and jonquils are in, large sup- 

 ]dy, but are selling well. The supply 

 of daisies is a little larger than it has 

 been. Snapdragons are still slow in ar- 

 riving and what little stock comes in 

 is readily disposed of. 



The New Amling Store. 



The E. C. Amling Co., previously lo- 

 cated in the Le Moyne building, com- 

 pleted removal to its new home across 

 the Street, at 169 to 3 75 North Wabash 

 avenue, in time to write two sales tick- 

 ets there January 27. The store since 

 then has been inspected by practically 

 every florist who comes to the market 

 and the opinion is unanimous that the 

 move is the best ever made by the .Am- 

 ling Co. The room is 60x125, located on 

 an alley dignified by the name of Bur- 

 ton place, so that there is an excellent 

 rear entrance adjacent to safe parking 

 space for automobiles. In addition to 

 the street floor, the lease includes the 

 basement and there is a gallery cover- 

 ing the rear half of the main floor. 

 Back of the store proper is a large cold 

 room, excellent for many kinds of flow- 

 ers the greater part of the year. In 

 addition to the old, mechanically re- 

 frigerated iceboxes, built for the Le 

 Moyne block store, a new box has been 

 built. A novelty is that two boxes are 

 on the north side of the room and two

on the south side, so that it really makes 

 a double store. In addition to its large 

 size the store has the great advantage 

 of excellent and well diffused light. 

 With room to grow, and a ten years' 

 lease, the company expects to add mate- 

 rially to its business without departing 

 from its policy of confining its opera- 

 tions to cut flowers and grefens. 



The Amling Co. has leased a portion 

 of the basement of the building to a 

 new wholesale cut flower house, which 

 will be opened about February 10 by 

 Joseph E. Wiltgen, Evanston, and Mich- 

 ael F. Freres. The new firm will go 

 under the name of Wiltgen & Freres. 



Joseph Ziska & Sons are moving into 

 the second floor of the building and 

 will be transacting business there next 

 week.
