English Manetti stocks were purchased. 

 They were shipped from New York De- 

 cember 5, but the railroad company was 

 not able to disgorge them from the con- 

 gestion of freight in Chicago until Janu- 

 ary 13. 



Meyer & Dramm Co., Elmhurst, 111., 

 are getting figures on another house 56x 

 400, which will increase their glass area 

 twenty-five per cent and make full use 

 of their present boiler capacity. 



January 14 was the silver wedding an- 

 mversary of E. C. Amling and his wife. 

 Lured away from home in the afternoon, 

 they returned in the evening to find 

 that about thirty relatives and close 

 rnends had taken possession of their 

 residence in Oak Park, with caterers to 

 serve an anniversary dinner. The guests 

 had brought numerous silver mementos, 

 among which was a large chest of silver 

 from the employees of the E. C. Amling 

 ^o. There also was a big silver vase 

 irom the company's directors. Mr. and 

 Mrs. Amling, accompanied by Harold 

 Amling and Miss Gertrude Amling, 

 leave January 25 for a visit of two 

 months at Orange, Cal. The Packard 

 was shipped last week. 



Among the first in the trade this year 

 to break his celibate vows is John Evert, 

 2059 Devon avenue, who was married 

 January 10, his bride being Miss Bar- 

 bara Thilmany. 



While J. E. Yeats, of Champaign, was 

 in town last week he made an arrange- 

 ment with the A. L. Randall Co. to act 

 as exclusive sales agent for the dis- 

 semination of his new red rose, the Mrs. 

 Sarah Yeats. Mr. Yeats has stated that 

 his output of plants this season will be 

 40,000. 



The temporary store George Perdikas 

 has operated for nearly a year, at the 

 northwest corner of Wabash avenue and 

 Van Buren street, is to be closed, a per- 

 manent tenant having at last been found 

 for the store, a room so large that tho 

 florist has used less than one-fourth of it. 

 Mr. Perdikas, whoso permanent store is 

 less than half a block away, has mer- 

 chandised large quantities of low-priced 

 stock in the temporary store, dealing 

 with transient trade. 



The longer lengths of Killarney and 

 White Killarney have been noticeably 

 hard to move this season. According to 

 A. T. Pyfer, of Pyfer & Co., this is due 



to the fact that when high-priced rosea 

 are desired the retailer offers the pros- 

 pective customer one of the newer va- 

 rieties, so it is only on the cheaper sales 

 that Killarneys are put forward. 



L. Hoeckner is greatly pleased with 

 the store he recently took over at 408 

 W^est Division street. He says the cut 

 flower business is a little slow at pres- 

 ent, but that he finds a good demand 

 for funeral work, which keeps things 

 moving. 



Eric Johnson, of the A. L. Eandall Co., 

 now makes his home on a 2-acre chicken 

 farm at Elmhurst. Removal to the coun- 

 try was for the benefit of Mrs. Johnson's 

 health and is proving all that was hoped. 



Although a rapidly increasing supply 

 business keeps Miss L. A. Tenner con- 

 tinually busy, she nevertheless finds 

 time occasionally to sell pecan groves 

 for the Jackson Pecan Groves Co., 

 Baconton, Ga., for which she is an agent. 

 The result of her efforts last week was 

 the signing of five contracts. 



The president of the Chicago Florists' 

 Club, W, H. Amling, has been confined 

 to his home in Maywood for several 

 weeks, forbidden even to visit the green-
