Various Notes. 



Poehlinann Bros. Co. has consummated 

 a three years' lease on the second floor 

 of the building at 66 to 70 East Kan- 

 dolph street, one door west of its present 

 location. The additional space, which is 

 equal in size to the second floor of their 

 present store, will be used for the show 

 and sales rooms of the supply depart- 

 ment, the fourth floor at 72 East Ran- 

 dolph street, now used for this purpose, 

 being retained as a stock and shipping 

 room. An arch will be cut through the 

 walls of the two buildings, connecting 

 the new rooms with the cut flower de- 

 partment, located on the second floor at 

 72 East Randolph street. The need of 

 additional space for the supply depart- 

 ment has long been felt by the com- 

 pany, as that department has shown 

 large growth within the last year. The 



new rooms will meet this need ad- 

 mirably. 



The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. 

 has received an order from Gullet & 

 Sons, Lincoln, 111., for the erection of a 

 new range consisting of ten houses 200 

 feet in length, of the new Agmco pipe 

 frame type. This new range will be 

 devoted entirely to the growing of 

 plants and together with the houses now 

 used for this purpose should place the 

 firm in the front rank of growers in the 

 middle west. 



A new firm, the Rapid Wrapper Co., 

 56 East Randolph street, opened for busi- 

 ness last week. This concern will manu- 

 facture patented paper wrappers for 

 plants which are so constructed that a 

 plant can be completely wrapped in a 

 few seconds, saving both paper and 

 labor. 



Although the average size of sales 

 decreases year by year, thereby increas- 

 ing the cost of doing business and cut- 

 ting the percentage of profit, W. J. 



Smyth says the total sales at his store 

 thus far have increased rapidly enough 

 to keep the net profit from decreasing 

 materially in any year, with the first 

 half of this year showing a turn in his 

 favor. 



Emil Buettner and wife, accompanied 

 by Mr. Buettner 's brother and wife, left 

 for Pasadena, Cal., March 6. They ex- 

 pect to return about a week before 

 Easter. 



Carl N. Thomas, who has spent the 

 winter, as usual, in the cut flower de- 

 partment of the A. L. Randall Co., re- 

 turned March 3 to his summer home at 

 West Springfield, Pa. 



Charles Wiflfin, of Des Plaines, 111., ac- 

 companied by his son, Sidney, will leave 

 for South Dakota, March 10, where 

 they have taken up farm lands. They 

 intend to do stock raising and general 

 farming, returning at the end of the 

 summer.

 ing received by Bassett & Washburn,
