Frank Schramm's Expansion. 



Frank Schramm, at Crystal Lake, 111., 

 has placed an order, with the American 

 Greenhouse Manufacturing Co., for ma- 

 terial for two houses, each 43x225, 

 which will double his bench space. The 

 new glass is to be planted, as soon as 

 possible, to Eussell and Milady, as the 

 older houses are. 



It is reported that James Spandikow 

 has sold his stock interest in the May- 

 wood company with which his name is 

 associated, resigned his position as man- 

 ager of the greenhouses, to take effect 

 February 29, and March 1 will return to 

 Mr. Schramm, a contract for a partner- 

 ship having been signed. 



Mr. Spandikow made his reputation 

 as a rose grower while in Mr. 

 Schramm 's employment. It has been 

 reported, and confirmed to the present 

 writer by both Mr. Schramm and Mr. 

 Spandikow, that in the last ten months 

 of Mr. Spandikow 's connection there 

 Mr. Schramm's gross sales averaged 

 $2.51 per plant for Russell and $3.51 per 

 plant for Milady; that in the next two 

 months the cut averaged 20 cents per 

 plant, with the result that for the year 

 ended June 30, 1919, Mr. Schramm's 

 gross takings averaged $2.71 per plant 

 for Russell and $3.71 per plant for 

 Milady. The Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association, which sold the stock, also 

 has confirmed these figures. In expla- 

 nation of the $1 per plant difference in 

 the two varieties it was stated that the 

 Milady plants were all in their second 

 year, while a considerable part of the 

 Russell was young stock, benched just 

 before the year opened. 



All Is Not CJold that Glitters. 



In spite of the well known fact that 

 supply and demand govern wholesale 

 prices, there always is complaint when 

 values go temporarily above accustomed 

 levels. The complaint has been much 

 less during the last month than it has 

 been under less provocative conditions 

 in other seasons, but still there is com- 

 plaint. It is said, for instance, that 

 the prices of the early bulbous flowers 

 have not been justified. They have not 

 been higher, relatively, than the prices
