able, it never seriously threatened the 

 rest of the building. Several wholesal- 

 ers, nevertheless, as a precautionary 

 measure, had their stock ready for quick 

 removal should the necessity arise. 



It is reported that the Fleischman 

 Floral Co. has renewed its lease on the 

 double store and basement space it oc- 

 cupies in the Eailway Exchange build- 

 ing. This store long has been said to 

 pay the highest rent of any florist west 

 of New York and it is understood that 

 for the recent renewal the price was ad- 

 vanced to $10,000 per year. 



Peter Keinberg has started planting 

 his roses for next season. Three houses 

 each of Ophelia, Milady and Champ 

 Weiland, all from 2%-inch pots, have 

 already been planted. 



To visitors at the office of the Amer- 

 ican Bulb Co., Sam Seligman exhibits a 

 passport issued by the State Department 

 for a business trip to Japan. He will 

 sail from Seattle March 1 and expects to 

 be away until sometime in August. 



The daily newspapers last week car- 

 ried an item about a greenhouse em- 

 ployee who mistook nicotine extract for 

 whisky, with the inevitable result. It 

 has not been possible to confirm the 

 facts and it seems doubtful if any florist 

 would make such an error. 



James King, who died at Elmhurst 

 February 9, had for many years been a 

 large shipper to the A. L: Kandall Co., 

 of pussy willows, peonies, etc. The nurs- 

 ery business will be continued by his 

 son, George King. 



The expense of doing business has in- 

 creased so greatly in the last two years, 

 according to George Wienhoeber, as to 

 necessitate a change of policy in the 

 matter of special sales. No retailer, 

 says Mr. "Wienhoeber, can afford a spe- 

 cial sale that involves cutting the mar- 

 gin of profit; such sales now can be han- 

 dled only by obtaining flowers below the 

 usual costs, which has not been possible 

 of late. 



Emil Eeichling, greenhouse superin- 

 tendent for Peter Keinberg, was con- 

 fined to his bed last week with an attack 

 of the grip. 



An increase of fifty per cent for the 

 week of February 1 to 9 over the same 

 period last year, is what the records of 

 the Chicago Flower Growers' Associa- 

 tion show, according to Paul Klingsporn. 

 Business during January showed an in- 

 crease of twenty-five per cent over last 

 year, he says. 



This is proving an exceptionally good 

 season for Sam Pearce, who has been 

 marketing great quantities of jonquils. 



daffodils and tulips, obtaining better 

 prices than usual, perhaps because he 

 was ready a little earlier than a major- 

 ity of the growers of bulbous stock. 



J. Marks, of A. Henderson & Co., has 

 returned from an eastern trip. 



Joseph Ziska & Sons are nicely set- 

 tled in their new quarters at 169 to 175 

 North Wabash avenue. The increased 

 space will permit the expansion of their 

 line in accordance with long cherished 

 plans. 



The St. Valentine 's day call for bulb- 

 ous stock exceeded Peter Pearson's 

 rather sanguine expectations. He had 

 all he could do. 



A continually increasing business has 

 made it necessary for the A. L. Kandall 

 Co. to enlarge its office space by fifty 

 per cent. A. L. Kandall and F. M. John- 

 son have returned from their winter 

 holiday in Cuba. 



Valentine business this year was the 

 best it ever has been at Bassett & 

 Washburn's, according to C. L. Wash- 

 burn. 



The "Happiness for Little Tots" de- 

 partment of the A, L. Kandall Co. is 

 rapidly being brought to completion 

 under the management of Frank J. 

 Farney. This department will handle a 

 line of specialties for babies.
