greenhouses is being cut this year. It 

 is said that every foot of the green- 

 houses now is at work. 



Albert F. Amling and Mrs. Amling 

 have gone to Orange, Cal. E. C. Amling 

 and his family already were there. A 

 sister of the Amling brothers has lived 

 at Orange for a number of years. 



There are growers who do not think 

 as well of Mrs. Russell as they did when 

 the rose was new, but when their roll is 

 called H. A. Bauske is not among those 

 who answer "Here!" Russell never 

 did better for him than it is doing right 

 now. 



The John C. Moninger Co. says it is 

 nothing unusual to find a florist in a 

 hurry, but it is not often that one tele- 

 phones for a 9,000-pound boiler and has 

 it shipped by express, as one grower 

 did March 17. The boiler was worth 

 about $1,000, and express charges, for 

 150 miles, were more than $125. 



The downtown retailers are vitally in- 

 terested in the weather; it makes all the 

 difference in the world with the tran- 

 sient trade. Andrew Chronis, who is 

 doing a big business with the Alpha 

 Floral Co., says it has rained so many 

 successive Saturdays that he has lost 

 count of the exact number, but that he 

 knows each one has cost him much 

 money. 



During the war the West Woodwork- 

 ing Co., 310 North Ada street, was en- 

 gaged in making propellers for airplanes, 

 work which called for much skill. When 

 the war ended a quantity of beautiful 

 thin wood was on hand and this is being 

 made up into a line of extremely hand- 

 some fern dishes, pot covers, vases, etc., 

 for high-class flower stores. They are 

 put together by the same process the 

 propellers were, with waterproof glue, 

 and should sell well, not only on their 

 merit, but because of the peculiar cir- 

 cumstances of their manufacture. 



The formal opening of Harry C. 

 Rowe's new store took place March 15. 

 Mr. Rowe has been in the retail busi- 

 ness in the loop for eighteen years and 

 this is the largest and best store he has 

 had. It is at 67 East Madison street, 

 two doors west of the most used entrance 

 to the Chicago Athletic Club and with 

 an entrance also from the lobby of the 

 Mailers building. Mr. Rowe did busi- 

 ness on the third floor of this building 

 during the war.
