Mushroom growing will be the new 

 hobby of Fred Klingel, who recently 

 severed his connection with the firm of 

 Erne & Klingel because of ill health. 

 Mr. Klingel says that some years ago 

 he did a little experimenting with the 

 growing of mushrooms and that the re- 

 sults were more than satisfactory. He 

 expects to take a cottage somewhere 

 near Chicago, where he will be within 

 easj' reach of the flower market, where 

 he spent so many years, but where he 

 will be able to live the outdoor life so 

 essential to him. During the summer 

 months he also hopes to grow some out- 

 door flowers for market purposes. 



Mr. and Mrs. L. Block, of Milwaukee, 

 have announced the engagement of their 

 daughter, Adele, to Sidney Buchbinder, 

 well known manufacturer of florists' 

 refrigerators. 



A. Henderson has returned from a 

 short business trip to New York. 



R. K. Schiller was married February

 young couple went to New York for 

 a two weeks' honeymoon.

Visitors. 



Julius C. Steinhauser, of I'ittsburg, 

 Kan., was in town several days last 

 week, buying supplies for the new store 

 he is about to open and getting ideas 

 and estimates for another rose house 

 soon to be added to his range a mile 

 from the store. He says business never 

 was better and he is providing a store 

 equipment second to none for cities of 

 its size. 



A. E. Kunderd, of ruffled gladiolus 

 fame, came up from Goshen, Ind., last 

 we<"k, preparatory to a trip east early 

 in March.

Calvin D. Kinsman, of A. N. Kins- 

 man, Inc., Austin, Minn., looked us 

 over last week. Business is good at 

 Austin and he was in quest of means 

 for profiting by the conditions. 



Edward Gullett, of Lincoln, 111., paid 

 a visit to the wholesale market Febru- 

 ary 16, after which, in the company of 

 F. L. McKee, of the American Green- 

 house Mfg. Co., he drove out to the 

 houses of Frank Oechslin, leaving the 

 city again the same night. 



The presence of the following visitors 

 was noted last week: Paul Berkowitz, 

 of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia; 

 R. .T. Dill, of the Avon Floral Co., De- 

 catur, 111.; E. J. Fancourt, of the S. S. 

 Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia.

The Maxket. 



Roses, which are not any too plentiful, 

 have been selling satisfactorily, at good 

 prices. There has been a strong call for 

 Russell, but the supply of this variety 

 has been inadequate. Splendid blooms 

 of Killarney and Ophelia experience a 

 quick sale, with Ophelia, as usual, lead- 

 ing in quality and popularity. Amer- 

 ican Beauties are in robust demand, but 

 it is difficult to find enough of them, even 

 at stiff prices. Sweet peas of fine qual- 

 ity are shown in profusion, but a lively 

 sale precludes any glut or surplus 

 of these. Carnations are plentiful.

but do not sell as easily as they might, 

 though here and there a retailer says 

 they are his best sellers. There is a 

 flood of bulbous stock, including jon- 

 quils, freesias and daffodils, but the de- 

 mand seems to take care of these, with 

 the prices still good. Rainbow freesias 

 have met with a quick sale. 



Orchids are more plentiful now and 

 were in the limelight St. Valentine'? 

 day. Valley, however, continues scarce 

 and the price is steep. Good violets in 

 liberal supply last week found a host 

 of buyers. A heavy batch of funeral 

 work has called for Easter lilies and 

 callas, but the last-named have been 

 hard to find. Daisies and pussy willows 

 have been featured to good advantage 

 Plants, azaleas and bulbous stock, have 

 had a good sale. Ferns and some of the 

 greens have been excellent and plentiful. 

 Adiantum of good length was scarce 

 last week.
