ing with Buch a brisk call, no longer are 

 on the short side. Heavy shipments of 

 southern stock have relieved the situa- 

 tion, although many stores will not take 

 southern jonquils if greenhouse stock is 

 obtainable. Freesias continue plentiful; 

 so do Paper Whites. Eoman hyacinths 

 are about over for the season, but there 

 still are enough to fill all orders, as the 

 demand has slacked up. Iris tingitana 

 is in good supply and no order need be 

 turned down. 



Orchids are arriving plentifully and 

 all orders are filled complete. There are 

 plenty of violets and valley is no longer 

 on the short side. Sweet peas are com- 

 ing in heavily, causing a drop in price. 

 Calla and Easter lilies continue to have 

 a big call and are short of the demand. 

 The supply of calendulas has increased. 



Smilax, plumosus, Sprengeri, Mexican 

 ivy and adiantum still are on the short 

 side, owing to the small amount of stock 

 coming in. There are, however, plenty 

 of ferns, leucothoe and boxwood. 



There is general satisfaction with the 

 situation; there is enough stock to go 

 around, but not enough to cause prices 

 to decline to an unprofitable level, and 

 there is enough business to keep every- 

 body comfortably busy. It is the gen- 

 eral report that this is the best February

in the history of the Chicago market, 

 the progressive houses having sales in 

 excess of the record for the exception- 

 ally good February of 1917, and far 

 greater than in the exceptionally poor 

 February of 1918. 



Hoerbers Retire. 



Ernst C. Amling and Paul Amling 

 have bought out Hoerber Bros., includ- 

 ing the range of about 200,000 feet of 

 glass at Des Plaines and the wholesale 

 store in the Atlas block. Although the 

 deal has been town talk for a month, 

 its consummation was said not to have 

 been complete until February 25, when 

 possession was taken by the new own- 

 ers. The street understands the consid- 

 eration to have been $90,000. 



The Hoerber greenhouses were started 

 in 1909, in which year eleven houses 

 were built. Later ten others were 

 added.

Ernst C. Amling is the oldest son of 

 Albert F. Amling. Some years ago he 

 started in business for himself at May- 

 wood, where he now has a range of 

 glass devoted to Columbia and Ophelia 

 roses. He has felt for some time that 

 the end of the war should be the signal 

 for him to enlarge his operations and 

 the purchase of one or another of the 

 greenhouse establishments known to be 

 on the market seemed to him to be more 

 logical than an attempt to build at this 

 time; he gets quick action. Paul, who 

 is a younger brother, has been brought 

 up in the Albert F. Amling greenhouses 

 and, it is understood, will reside at Des 

 Plaines and be in charge there. The 

 cut from the Hoerber range is being 

 shipped by the new owners, half to the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association 

 and half to the A. L. Randall Co. The 

 Hoerber wholesale store was closed 

 February 24, but it is understood that
