the improvement of conditions in the 

 trade. No one can hear him discuss the 

 subject without coming to share some 

 of his enthusiasm. 



E. C. Amling and Mrs. Amling spent 

 Saturday and Sunday with their son, 

 Harold, at Culver Military Academy, 

 Culver, Ind. 



Wietor Bros, are planting Rose Pre- 

 mier. They ordered 3,000 grafted and 

 4,000 own-root plants, but did not get 

 the full quantity of grafts. 



The joint committee of the whole- 

 salers' and retailers' associations has 

 a handsome "Say It with Flowers" for 

 Mothers' day card in the street cars 

 and "L" cars. They are waiting to 

 hear from the new organization of grow- 

 ers, feeling that the producers are ben- 

 efited as much as anyone and that they 

 are in position to give the publicity 

 work a big push. 



Fifty-five years will have passed over 

 the head of John Mangel on the day this 

 issue of The Review reaches its Chi- 

 cago readers. He was born in Sparta, 

 May 2, 1864. 



The George Wittbold Co. has taken 

 an order from Bassett & Washburn for 

 20,000 Kentia Forsteriana and from Rov 

 Wilcox for 25,000. These are 2-inch and 

 2%-inch plants to be grown on at the 

 establishments of the purchasers near 

 Los Angeles, Louis Wittbold reports 

 a recent inquiry on .50,000 small kentias 

 to be shipped to Belgium. He declined 

 to sell for that purpose. 



In a circular letter to the trade G. M. 

 Reburn asserts that last season's deliv- 

 eries of bulbs by all sellers did not ex- 

 ceed thirty per cent of the aggregate of 

 all orders. He predicts another general 

 shortage this season. 



That the season has been the best in 

 their history is the report of Joseph 

 Ziska & Sons. The great increase in 

 the funeral flowers business last au- 

 tumn has kept the Ziska wireworkers 

 busy all season and the supplies depart- 

 ment has profited by the shortage of 

 flowers; accessories have been used more 

 generally than when cut flowers were 

 cheaper, they say. 



John P. Risch thinks Mrs. Bayard 

 Thayer is a rose that is too little appre- 

 ciated by western growers. Weiland- 

 Risch Co., at the Evanston greenhouses, 

 is doing well with it and the customers
