tliaii at any recent Easter except that 

 of 1919, because other growers also have 

 cut down. Mr. Buettner says the 

 Easter lily crop in 1920 scarcely gave 

 the growers new dollars for their old 

 ones. 



A. Miller spent the week end at Cin- 

 cinnati. His short trips are productive 

 of many large import orders. 



The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., 

 is consigning roses to the Chicago 

 Flower Growers ' Association. 



C. A. Allis, ior many years book- 

 keeper and salesman for Wietor Bros., 

 lost a son February 12. The boy was 

 12 years of age, the youngest of seven 

 children. 



The St. Valentine's day rush with the 

 Fleischman Floral Co., in the Railway 

 Exchange building, called for the serv- 

 ices of Richard Parker, as extra sales- 

 man, just as Christmas did. Things 

 seem to have been coming Mr. Parker's 

 way recently. Since he ceased to de- 

 vote his full time to the flower busi- 

 ness he has ae(juired a 5-acre lioiiie place 

 near Wlieatoii, a wife, and last month 

 a daughter. 



Sam Pearoe marketed a huj^e cut of 

 tulips and jonquils for St. Valentine's 

 day. TJiere have been numerous vis- 

 itors at his place recently, specially to 

 see the new early longiflorum lily. The 

 bulbs, which were brought from Japan 

 by the A. B. C, for testing, were planted 

 about the middle of November and were 

 in full flower in a little less than three 

 months. The stems arc about thirty 

 inches. 



Visitors. 



John M. Kunesh and Mrs. Kunesh, of 

 the Beaver Avenue Floral Co., Des 

 Moines, la., have been here on their 

 annual midwinter trip. They were on 

 their way to Richmond to look at Hill's 

 new roses. Mr. Kunesh manages the 

 greenhouses while Mrs. Kunesh looks 

 after the store and they make a highly 

 efiBcient team. Des Moines is an ex- 

 cellent flower town, as everyone in the 

 Chicago market knows, and it is inter- 

 esting to hear Mr. and Mrs. Kunesh say 

 their sales for the first six weeks of 

 1921 exceed the record for the same 

 period in 1920. 



E. R. Munk, of the Munk Floral Co., 

 Columbus, O., was here last week. He
