tke demand also grows and there are 

 mot enough to go around. There are 

 more jonquils, but Boman hyacinths are 

 on the short side. Freesia continues in 

 good supply. Calendulas still are 

 scarce. 



There is no change in the green goods 

 market; everything is plentiful. 



January Business. 



January has made a new record in this 

 market, giving most of the wholesalers 

 the largest total of sales ever rung up 

 in the first month of the year; at least 

 double the record for January, 1918, 

 which was the heatless month, and con- 

 siderably exceeding January, 1917, 

 which was unusually good. Stock was 

 not so scarce as was expected; indeed, 

 there have been many Januaries during 

 which the market has been tighter, but 

 the demand was strong enough to hold 

 prices steadily above those of other 

 years. 



Weather in January. 



The first few days of January were 

 seasonable, but the following three 

 weeks were the best January weather 

 the trade ever experienced and partic- 

 ularly ^ helpful in view of the trade's 

 urgent'need for flowers. The mean tem- 

 perature for the month was 31 degrees, 

 compared to 13 degrees last January and 

 23 degrees as the normal. The per- 

 centage of sunshine was sixty, against 

 forty-two per cent of the possible as 

 normal. It made a wonderful difference, 

 not only in the drain on the coal pile, 

 but in the production of stock. 



Dropped Trade's Bepresentatives. 



E, E. McCormick, of the Tribune, and 

 Victor F. Lawson, of the News, have 

 been appointed members of the Forest 

 Preserve Commission in place of Wil- 

 liam A. Peterson and J. C. Vaughan, in 

 spite of the fact that there probably are 

 not in all Chicago two men better qual- 



ified than are the nurseryman and seeds- 

 man to advise and direct the develop- 

 ment of the great outer park belt. 

 Shelving these two is thought to have 

 been a part of the campaign in the board 

 of county commissioners to cut the 

 power of President Peter Eeinberg, by 

 whom they had been selected at the time 

 the Forest Preserve Commission was or- 

 ganized. 



Various Notes. 



Many friends in the trade mourn the 

 passing of Irene Schouten, wife of 

 Joseph T. Schouten, designer at the Elm 

 street store of the E. Wienhoeber Co., 

 which occurred January 31. She died 

 after only three days' illness with pneu- 

 monia. Funeral services were held Sun- 

 day at the chajiel at 810 North Clark 

 street and interment, which was private, 

 took place February 3. Besides her hus- 

 band, Mrs. Schouten is survived by two 

 daughters, Marie St. Louis and Florence 

 Oswald.
