Philip Schupp, of J. A. Budlong, 

 thinks favorably of the Lady Alice 

 Stanley rose, which his firm has been 

 growing the last year. Although it is a

 the wholesalers, was kept without heat. 



John Kruchten. of the John Kruchten 

 Co., is much pleased with the company's 

 shipping bu.siness. which, he says, shows 

 a material increase over last year. 



Shipments of California flowers, 

 which were more or less irregular at the 

 beginning of the year, are now coming 

 in with greater regularity, according to 

 S. Kitisawa, of the South California 

 Flower Market, Inc. Among other nov- 

 elties received arc orange blossoms and 

 acacia. 



The arrival of a car of canna roots 

 .January 20 is reported by Henderson & 

 Co. The shipment traveled in fine 

 shape.

"The ads in The Review are paying 

 specially well this month," said A. Hen- 

 derson to the compiler of this column, 

 "but then," he added, for fear he had 

 inspired chestiness, "they always do at 

 this time of year.' ' 



That there will be a marked increase 

 in the private glass in this locality is 

 the report of the J, C. Moninger Co.. 

 the latest order for a conservatory and 

 service building coming from M. Born, 

 of Glencoe. R. E. Kurowski comments 

 on the number of inquiries received as 

 to the effect on deliveries this season 

 caused by the recent fire, although it 

 has been plainly stated that it was only 

 a warehouse that burned and that mill- 

 work was not interrupted at all. To 

 him the interest in the matter indicates 

 an unusual demand for earlv deliveries.
