snapdragons arrive only in small lots. 

 Jonquils are beginning to arrive a little 

 faster, but as yet the supply is small. 

 What stock arrives clears easily. Tulips 

 in several colors have put in an appear- 

 ance and promise soon to become an 

 unusually important item. 



The Trade's Bankers. 



Early January brings the annual bank 

 elections and one finds an interesting 

 sprinkling of trade names in the reports. 



Joseph J. Budlong, onion set grower, 

 who this year built a range of green- 

 houses and started in as a rose grower, 

 is said to be the largest stockholder in 

 the Lake View Trust and Savings Bank. 

 Ho was reelectjpd as its president. 



Wm. A. Peterson, of Peterson's. Nur- 

 sery, was reelected a director of the 

 Htate Bank of Chicago, one of the 

 largest in the city. 



E. C. Amling, who has been presi- 

 dent of the State Bank of Oak Park 

 since its organization, still holds that 

 position. 



August F. Poehlmann is vice-presi- 

 dent and a director of the Morton Grove 

 Trust and Savings Bank, the building 

 of which is just across the street from 

 the greenhouse office of Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co. 



Albert F. Amling has been vice- 

 president and a director of the May- 

 wood State Bank for several years. 



The name of Peter Reinberg appears 

 in the lists of directors of two banks, 

 one national, one state. The former is 

 the Ravenswood National; the latter, 

 the Lincoln Trust and Savings. 



The Bowmanville National Bank has 

 J. C. Vaughan as one of its directors. 



Simeon F. Leonard, president of the 

 Leonard Seed Co., is a director of the

 Florists' Club has selected the Monon 

 as the route to the Indianapolis carna- 

 tion meeting, choosing a train that 

 leaves at 11:40 p. m. January 30. The 

 last time the club designated the Monon

Mention The ReTlew wbw yn write. 



as the official route to a convention a 

 large number of those who went de- 

 clined to join the party and traveled 

 on the Pennsylvania, which also could 

 be used to Indianapolis. But perhaps 

 the committee will have better luck 

 this time. 



The oldest florist in Woodlawn, J. 

 Bombenger. plans to spread out. His 

 property on Woodlawn avenue is for 

 sale and he is looking about for a good 

 location for a range of houses for whole- 

 sale plant growing. In addition to his 

 store Mr. Bombenger has several green- 

 houses, but the location is no longer 

 favorable for growing. The property 



is desirable for an apartment building 

 and he expects to realize a good price 

 for that purpose. 



As indicating- how badly the express 

 companies were snowed under at Christ- 

 mas, the E. C. Amling Co. states that 

 on one of its shipments to Cleveland 

 December 22 delivery to the customer 

 in that city was attempted January 3. 

 It would seem that the liox must have 

 been buried pretty deeply, for if it had 

 miscarried it would have been sold im- 

 modiately at the place of discovery.
