Various Notes. 



H. D. Schiller, from boyhood asso- 

 ciated with the florists' business 

 founded by his father, has joined the 

 staff of M. C. Wright, western sales 

 manager for Lord & Burnham Co. 



G. M. Beburn has returned from a 

 trip of several weeks south, southwest 

 and west within the contiguous states. 

 He says he found florists almost without 

 exception reporting business as good aa 

 last year, or better. It was the excep- 

 tion to find one who was not getting 

 profitable prices and doing a first-class 

 trade. Mr. Eeburn says it has taken 

 the smaller city florists some time to 

 realize that they could get paying prices 

 if they asked them, and by no other 

 method. He says they know now and 

 are making money. With Mrs. Reburn 

 he leaves December 21 to spend the holi- 

 days at his old home in West Grove, Pa, 



In getting out of his automobile De- 

 cember 11, Otto Wittbold, 6319 Louise 

 avenue, Edgebrook, stepped in front of 

 another. His leg was broken. 



Harold Amling, who is studying at 

 Culver Military Academy, left Decem- 

 ber 17 to spend the holidays with his 

 father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. 

 Amling, at Orange, Cal. 



Emil Buettner says he seldom has cut 

 so few roses for Christmas as will be 

 the case this year. He says the warm 

 weather in October and early November 

 brought his crop ahead of time. 



At last reports Mrs. Joseph Kohout 

 was convalescing at Garfield Park hos- 

 pital in spite of the fact that her case 

 is one in which few recover. 



P. C. Schupp has sent the customers of 

 J. A. Budlong Co. one of the handsomest 

 calendars of the season. It is the paint- 

 ing of the "Orchid Lady," reproduced 

 in colors. 



C. L. Washburn says the commission 

 dealers have had the advantage of the 

 wholesale growers so far this season, be- 

 cause increased production has brought 

 to the commission houses enough stock 

 to more than counterbalance the lower 

 prices which have prevailed. This has 

 not been possible for many of the indi- 

 vidual growers. But Mr. Washburn ex- 

 pects a change with Christmas and the 

 new year. He looks to see a good many 

 houses short of roses for the next six 

 weeks. 



C. J. Michelsen spent December 11 in 

 the Twin Cities,
