The death of Mark F. Kyle, father of 

 W. P. Kyle, is recorded in this week's 

 obituary column. 



There is a good opportunity for some- 

 one with capital, the establishment of 

 the Kenwood Floral Co., on East Forty- 

 seventh street, having been closed since 

 the death of Henry Hilmers, who had 

 run the place many years. 



Paul Klingspom and Frank Schramm 

 spent December 11 at Lincoln, 111., to 

 see what is being done this season at the 

 big establishment of GuUett & Sons. 



Over 300,000 gladiolus bulbs already 

 are in the store of the American Bulb 

 Co., grown in Indiana for this concern. 



George V. Wienhoeber has not been 

 well of late, but is preparing for a big 

 Christmas. 



A. T. Pyfer says the mum season of 

 1919 will not end until 1920. 



George H. Pieser has joined the stafE 

 of Johnson & Chronis, where the big 

 store is full of palms and other plants 

 and business never seems to slacken. 



Weiss & Meyer Co., Maywood, never 

 approached Christmas with as large a 

 cut as this year. Ophelia is in specially 

 heavy crop. 



Sam Pearce is cutting narcissi in 

 great quantities. 



Frank Oechslin is sending a crop of 

 cut poinsettias to the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Association. 



J. E. Pollworth has it "doped out" 

 that a dry New Year's eve will help the 

 flower business. His observation leads 

 him to believe that flowers seldom grace 

 the tables of restaurant revelers but 

 nearly always do those of celebrations 

 in the homes. Without wine, Mr. Poll- 

 worth thinks, large numbers of watch 



parties will be transferred from public 

 to private surroundings, to the trade's 

 benefit. 



Visitors. 



Joseph H. Hill, of Eichmond, Ind., 

 was here last week, in conference with 

 manufacturers of greenhouse building 

 material. He plans to put up new glass 

 to house 25,000 carnation plants, but 

 has not decided what type of house to 

 build. 



H. Welke, of the E. Welke Co., Mil- 

 waukee, visited the market December 

 12, hunting supplies to care for the in- 

 creasing business in the new store occu- 

 pied by the "House of Eoses." 



Philip Breitmeyer, of Detroit, has 

 been here this week placing orders for 

 Christmas stock.
