other, with three or four inches of stem 

 between. A few more days will suflSce 

 to draw out the stems, color the flowers 

 and make the stock plentiful and popu- 

 lar. Paper Whites are abundant, but 

 Soleil^^*0^ has been nearly cut out. The 

 first ..^reesia has arrived. 



The! variety of stock is limited ; there 

 are no other flowers in sufl&cient quan- 

 tity to warrant special consideration. 

 Pussy willow is plentiful and is being 

 used in most arrangements of spring 

 flowers. 



Various Notes. 



C.A. Samuelson left January 8 to re- 

 turn to his farm at Wendell, Idaho, and 

 Chicago will know him not until Christ- 

 mas comes again. He will not come 

 back for Easter this year, but after the 

 spring rush Mrs. Samuelson will go out 

 to join him. Their Prairie avenue resi- 

 dence is on the market. Mr. Samuelson 

 is interested in seed growing in the 

 Snake river valley. 



One may see in the weatherman's re- 

 port for December the reason why many 

 growers were too early with their 

 Christmas rose crops. The mean tem- 

 perature for the month was 11 degrees 

 higher than in 1919 and the percentage 

 of possible sunshine was forty-four as 

 compared with forty per cent as normal. 



E. Wienhoeber plans to take a winter 

 vacation, beginning next week, after 

 the annual meeting of the Wienhoeber 

 corporation. He has not decided where 

 he will go, but it will be a restful place, 

 as the veteran retailer is in his seven- 

 tieth year. The year just ended proves 

 to have been one of the best in the his- 

 tory of the Elm street store. 



Edward Hunt, of the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Association, was taken to St. 

 Bernard's hospital last week in a se- 

 rious condition. He is getting along 

 well. 



Illinois is the name of a pink seed- 

 ling carnation raised by A. Sykora, at 

 Batavia. It is a cross on Enchantress 

 Supreme and growers who have seen it 

 are favorably impressed. 



There have been many predictions 

 that a boom in greenhouse building is 

 about due and M. C. Wright, western 

 sales manager for Lord & Burnham Co., 

 comments that in the first week of 1921 

 his office received more inquiries for 

 plans and quotations than in the whole 

 last month of 1920. "If this keeps up 

 and the usual percentage of inquiries 

 lead to orders, 1921 will be a record 

 building year," said Mr. Wright. 



W. J. Smyth and Mrs. Smyth, who are 

 rather good travelers, are contemplat- 

 ing a late winter trip to California. 



Frank Oechslin is said to have the 

 California fever. 



A. Miller, president of the A. B. C, 

 led his forces afield last week in quest 

 of 1921 import orders. Guy French is 

 on the Pacific coast. I. Rosnosky, D. D. 

 F. Roy, Vincent Neil, D. W. Dumser, 

 Max Momblatt and J. C. Neilson all are 

 on the road. Albert Koehler says they 

 all are doing well and that the orders on 

 hand are greater in total than at the 

 start of 1920. 



John Ziska says this will be his lucky 

 year, 1921. The phone number of Ziska 

 & Sons is Central 463, their street num- 

 ber is 175, their auto license also adds 

 thirteen and this is their thirteenth year 

 in the supply business. Thirteen al- 

 ways has been a lucky number for them. 



The Henry Wittbold Co. is almost 

 ready to open its new place, room 203 in 

 the Atlas block, 30 East Randolph
