Amling, Miss Amling and Mrs. Amling's 

 mother and sister, leaves January 22 for 

 Orange, Cal., where they have taken a 

 cottage and will remain until about April 

 1. The Packard has been shipped. 



John Ziska is at Excelsior Springs, 

 Mo., enjoying a ten days ' vacation. 



After traveling all over the United 

 States and making the acquaintance of 

 all the larger florists, Frank MeCabe 

 has been taken off the road by the A. L. 

 Eandall Co. His duties in future will 

 be of a special nature, dealing with any 

 situation which calls for the attention 

 of a man well versed in the business. 



Mrs. Victor Bergman assumed charge 

 of the Edgewater Beach hotel flower 

 store January 13. Mrs. Bergman, like 

 her husband, is a talented designer, hav- 

 ing been brought up in the trade under 

 the tutorage of her father, G. Ludwig, 

 the well known Pittsburgh florist. 



With the returned 333rd Field Artil- 

 lery of the Blackhawk division January 

 13, which marched through Chicago en 

 route to Camp Grant, where they will be 

 mustered out of service, was C. R. Hunt- 

 ington, son of Mrs. E. H. Horton, of 

 Bassett & Washburn. 



Mrs. G. M. Reburn, who has been 

 seriously ill with pneumonia, is, happily, 

 recovering rapidly. 



F. W. Martin, 609 East Fortieth street, 

 has been in the habit of sending calen- 

 dars to his customers at the first of the 

 year, but this year he did something out 

 of the ordinary. He used an appropriate 

 picture framed under glass, with fancy 

 background and calendar attached. He 

 figures it will be hung in a prominent 

 place in the household, instead of in the 

 kitchen, where so many of the common 

 calendars are hung. Mr. Martin is a 

 firm believer in good advertising. 



Alfred Dietsch, of the A. Dietsch Co., 

 comments on the number of inquiries for 

 quotations and states that in the last 

 month they have received more inquiries 

 than in the preceding six months. In 

 fact, December broke all records and 

 Mr. Dietsch says that from the way the 

 quotations are being accepted he cannot 

 see how they will be able to handle the 

 orders when building time comes. 



Sam Pearce sent the E. C. Amling Co. 

 the first of his season's tulips Janu- 

 ary 11. 



Ten houses, constituting one section 

 of the range of Weiland-Risch Co., 

 Evanston, have been in vegetables and 

 have been earning good money, but now 

 are being converted to the florists' busi- 

 ness again. As fast as the crops of let- 

 tuce eome out the space is being used

 no Dutch bulbs on the place this year. 

 Propagation will be prosecuted with the 

 idea that there will be a big demand 

 for young stock, capable of consuming 

 any surplus.
