about good enough for third, but I en- 

 tered it in the light pink class, taking 

 first over the place that has the largest 

 stock of Laddie in the country and over 

 Enchantress Supreme. It was most in- 

 teresting to meet the men and hear 

 their ideas on this and that point. We 

 went around the wholesale cut flower 

 district in Chicago and were surprised 

 to find how scarce flowers were. The 

 shortest roses were bringing 20 cents. 

 At the store of Bassett & Washburn, 

 C. L. Washburn greeted us cordially. 

 He said there was little to show us, but 

 asked an assistant to bring out a vase 

 of Beauties. On their appearance Mr. 

 Washburn remarked that this was their 

 last season. Paul R. Klingsporn, of the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association, 

 is even more enthusiastic about Premier 

 than he was when he was in Philadel- 

 phia a year ago. 



"The next day I went out to the range 

 of Albert F. Amling Co., at Maywood, 

 a place devoted entirely to roses. Colum- 

 bia is a great rose here. They have 

 90,000 and are delighted with it. It 

 seemed to me that the roses got away

quicker after Christmas than they do 

 here. Do you think it is because they 

 are all grown in benches? They have 

 a number of interesting labor-saving 

 devices at this place. A long truck 

 capable of carrying a number of flats, 

 filled with plants, is equipped with 

 wheels that are fitted to run on the 6- 

 inch sideboards of the tables, the wheels 

 being adjustable to table inequalities. 

 The benches are supported by sleepers 

 laid on concrete piers. The large boilers 

 are fed with soft coal which seems more 

 like hard coal than our soft coal. It is 

 hard and contains little dirt. 



"I went to Sam Pearce's to see the 

 lilies and bulbs. This place supplies 

 the E. C. Amling Co. with many of its 

 bulbous flowers. The heating arrange- 

 ments are modest and apparently excel- 

 lent. The bulbs are forced to a certain 

 stage without light. Mr. Pearce ex- 

 plained his small force by saying that 

 he was generally there. The lilies at 



Pearce's being all for cutting, I went 

 to Ernest Oechslin's to see them grown 

 for selling in pots. This is considered 

 one of the best pot plant places supply- 

 ing the Chicago market. Two mag- 

 nificent Packard trucks impressed me 

 right at the start. The place was full 

 of interest and gave cause for thought. 

 "I went about with A. M. Henshaw, 

 the New York wholesaler, a mighty nice 

 fellow, and coming home I had the 

 pleasure of bumping into Arthur Her- 

 rington, of Madison, N. J. I hardly 

 know yet whether I think the cultural 

 methods in the west are ahead of our 

 own. The eastern men like to poke fun 

 at their western brothers by saying that 

 they succeed in spite of themselves."
