course, a great deal such an organiza- 

 tion can do for the general good, aside 

 from securing special express service 

 for cut flower shipments and thereby 

 avoiding such complications as came at 

 Christmas; it can, for instance, work 

 toward a standardization of grades of 

 roses and can, perhaps, check the tend- 

 ency to produce quantity at the expense 

 of quality. 



The officers of the new organization 

 are: President, A. F. Poehlmann, of 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co.; vice-president, 

 Paul Klingsporn, of the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Association; treasurer, P. C. 

 Schupp, of J. A. Budlong; secretary, 

 A. G. Kohlbrand, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co. The officers were made a commit- 

 tee to draft by-laws for presentation at 

 a special meeting in about two weeks. 



Various Notes. 



Prices for Beauties have been con- 

 siderably higher, on the average, than 

 in previous seasons, but the production 

 of first quality blooms has been so small 

 that a further reduction in the plantings 

 is in prospect. Most of the Beauty 

 growers in this locality have decided 

 that it has become the least profitable 

 rose on the list. 



Wiltgen & Freres, wholesale florists, 

 opened for business February 19, at their 

 store at 169 to 175 North Wabash ave- 

 nue, where they will handle a complete 

 line of cut flowers. Their store, which 

 is in the basement of the new Amling 

 building, affords' a floor space of 18 x 

 63 feet. M. Freres says that he is well 

 satisfied with the way in which business 

 started. 



In the belief that a large business can 

 be built up by a store without expensive 

 frills, O. J. Friedman is moving his 

 second floor venture in the Ohio build- 

 ing to the more conspicuous corner 

 rooms. The name used is Ohio Floral 

 Co., Thomas Fogarty being in charge. 



Emil Reichling, superintendent of 

 Poter Reinberg's greenhouses, expects 

 to have an early cut of new roses this 

 year. Pour houses of Russells were 

 planted last week. 



C. J. Michelsen says the sales of the 

 E. C. Amling Co. for February 17 and 

 18 made *he largest total of any regular

Saturday-Sunday in the history of the 

 company. 



There are reports that considerable 

 quantities of canna roots shipped dur- 

 ing the recent zero weather were badly 

 frozen and John P. Degnan, of Winter- 

 son 's Seed Store, says he looks for a 

 shortage of many varieties, especially 

 of King Humbert, and for advancing 

 prices as the season progresses. 



Mrs. W. J. Smyth has been able to re- 

 turn home after spending three weeks 

 in St. Luke's hospital and is able to sit 

 up for a short time each day. 



Sam Seligman had planned to leave 

 Chicago February 19 and sail from Seat- 

 tle March 1, but advices received last

 of February planting trees on Festiva 

 Eanch, Eed Bluff, Cal., Fritz Bahr plans 

 to start for home February 22. 



A. Miller, of the American Bulb Co.,

 through the midde east, the trade in Cin- 

 cinnati having occupied his attention
