After spending January 31 at the 

 Hill place at Richmond and at New 

 Castle, C. J. Michelsen, Eugene Dramm 

 and W. i?. Keimel will take in the car- 

 nation shfcw at Indianapolis February 1. 



McKinley and O. W. Frese had many 

 things in common, including the same 

 birthday anniversary, January 29. 

 Those who know that Mr. Frese has 

 been thirty-six years in the flower busi- 

 ness in Chicago can figure out that he 

 must have made his start when he was 

 only fifteen years old. 



Although there were no azaleas for 

 Christmas, the local market now is well 

 supplied with plants that are excellent- 

 ly flowered, but which are selling below 

 their real value. Plantsmen say that 

 February and March will see most of 

 the azaleas disposed of, with a compara- 

 tively small quantity remaining for 

 Easter. 



After a minor operation in St. Luke's 

 hospital January 25, Mrs. W. J. Smyth 

 is recuperating rapidly.- 



Peter Pearson is convinced that the 

 prices of Holland bulbs cannot stay on 

 the present level of asking prices for 

 1917 crops. He says that, to begin with, 

 where a grower forces the bulbs for the 

 wholesale market, the price obtained 

 for the cut flowers does not permit the 

 payment of the advances attempted this 

 season by the Holland travelers. He 

 says that he is told by a number of 

 growers that they will not place any 

 orders this season, dropping the forcing 

 of bulbs next fall unless it proves possi- 

 ble to purchase bulbs in the fall at 

 something like normal prices. Mr. 

 Pearson thinks the general adoption of 

 such a policy will result in a fall in the 

 market.

of carnations have become a minor mat- 

 ter in the Schiller stores. While white 

 carnations are used for work, th? sales 

 of colored carnations as cut flowers 

 have fallen far behind the sales of roses 

 and other flowers. 



Frank Oechslin has a new body on 

 his Chalmers delivery car. It is painted 

 green like the rest of the flock. Mr. 

 Oechslin recently purchased a new 

 Packard pleasure car. 



Wendland & Keimel Co., Elmhurst, 

 will plant 2,000 of Breitmeyer's Rose- 

 pink Ophelia for next season. 



While carnations were for a number 

 of years the standby at R. Scheffler's 

 place at Wheaton, this year only three 

 crops now are sweet peas, mums, asters, 

 benches were planted to them. The 

 gladioli, peonies and novelties, indoor 

 and outdoor, with some bedding stock, 

 the latter principally for local sales. 



A. L. Randall and Frank Johnson, of 

 the A. L. Randall Co., are sojourning in 

 Cuba. They expect to be gone about 

 four weeks. 



The installation of an ice machine 

 and cold storage room by Kroeschell 

 Bros. Co., for Stielow Bros., Niles Cen- 

 ter, has been completed and the appa- 

 ratus is in use. 



Frank and Arthur Pesternick, with 

 the Ernst Wienhoeber Co. and Bassett 

 & Washburn respectively, are mourning 

 the loss of their father, who died Jan- 

 uary 27. 



J. P. Risch, of Weiland & Risch, is 

 greatly pleased with the manner in 

 which the trade is taking to Champ 

 Weiland rose. He says it looks as 

 though all the growers who did not 

 plant it this season want to do so for 

 the next one. 



Due to steadily increasing business,
