smashing it against a heavy funeral car 

 standing at the curb. A wrecking 

 wagon was not needed for what was 

 left of Mr. Fink's car; a shovel would 

 have sufficed to clear it away. Yes, it 

 was a Ford. Mr. Fink's young son was 

 with him and it was fortunate that 

 neither he nor the boy were injured. 



Paul Klingsporn, manager of the Chi- 

 cago Flower Growers' Association, se- 

 cured the release of Edward Hunt from 

 the Great Lakes Naval Training Station 

 to help out over the holidays. Mr. Hunt 

 was with this concern before entering 

 the navy and ■will get his release from 

 active duty early in the new year. He 

 will resume work at his old place. 



Curtis Kindler, of the Eaedlein Bas- 

 ket Co., has been released from active 

 duty at the Great Lakes Naval Train- 



ing Station and has resumed his duties 

 with his company. Mr. Kindler goes 

 on the navy reserve list for four years. 

 He enlisted in the navy about six 

 months ago. 



The demand for cold storage lily bulbs 

 exceeds anything in the previous experi- 

 ence of A. Henderson. He illustrates 

 the anxiety of many buyers by saying 

 that December 21 his house shipped 100 

 cases, 30,000 bulbs, by express to a 

 grower at Philadelphia. 



Wendland & Keimel Co., Elmhurst, 

 has cut an average of 9,000 roses per 

 day the last two weeks. 



To illiistrate the mood of the buyers, 

 the American Bulb Co. points to orders 

 for Glory of Noordwijk, a new cream 

 yellow gladiolus, at $60 per hundred. 

 There is an unusual demand for stock 



of the new and higher priced European 

 varieties, perhaps due to the knowledge 

 that importations will cease after this 

 season because of the new quarantine. 



Ernst C. Amling, the Maywood grow- 

 er, has been cutting excellent Columbia 

 and is well pleased with this new rose. 

 He had planned to run some of his 

 houses cold after Christmas, to keep 

 within his fuel allotment, and therefore 

 ran the Eussells and Ophelias through 

 the usual resting period, with the result 

 that his Christmas cut of these varieties 

 was less than normal. Mr. Amling be* 

 lieves many other growers followed the 

 same course, which would account for 

 the reduced supply this Christmas. 



I. Rosnosky, traveler far the W. W. 

 Barnard Co., is in Chicago to spend the 

 holidays.
