everyone. In this connection the di- 

 rectors of the Allied Florists' Associa- 

 tion who were present, August Poehl- 

 mann, Otto Amling and Peter Pearson, 

 all spoke strongly in commendation of 

 the publicity done for St. Valentine's 

 day by that organization. 



One new member was elected, the 

 firm of Wehrmann & Wehrmann, 5332 

 Bowmanville avenue. 



Andrew Benson, .superintendent of 

 Premier Rose Gardens, gave an exceed- 

 ingly interesting paper on "Roses: 

 Past, Present and Future," which 

 created some discussion of cultural 

 methods. The paper appears on another 

 page of this issue. A 



Next meeting, March 17, will afford 

 an opportunity for growers of pot pla,nt8 

 and miscellaneous cut flowers to exhibit 

 their stock. 



A Knowing Buyer's View. 



Possibly the largest buyer on the mar- 

 ket is George Wienhoeber and it is con- 

 ceded there is none who knows the 

 market better. He has paid for hi* 

 knowledge. Consequently there is what 

 sometimes is referred to as "food for 

 thought" in this statement from his 

 Sunday ad, headed "A Wilderness of 

 Koses. ' ' Says Mr. Wienhoeber : ' ' Chi- 

 cago 's flower market presents a hundred 

 buying opportunities for second-class 

 flowers to one where the choicest are 

 concerned." 



Various Notes. 



Advance quotations on lilies for Eas- 

 ter are 25 cents per flower or bud. 



The sudden death of Peter Beinberg 

 and its effect on the mammoth range 

 of glass he operarted was the chief topic 

 of conversation in the market February 



21. 



N. J. Wietor paid a visit to his son, 

 Harry, aged 18, at St. Francis Acad- 

 emy, near Milwaukee, February 19, 

 called by the young man 'a slight illness. 

 The reports first received were alarming. 



C. L. Washburn and Mrs. Washburn 

 are at French Lick, Ind., for a few days ' 



rest. 



Remodeling the building at the north- 

 east corner of Wabash avenue and Ran- 

 dolph street for the occupancy of A. 

 Starr Best has dislodged Chris Peder- 



PEOPLE WE 'HAVE 

 NEVER MET. 



« 



Our most striking success is the 

 handling of OUT-OF-TOWN orders 

 that come from retail florists whom we 

 have never met. 



In making a special appeal for the 

 out-of-town buyer, our advertisements 

 would not serve their purpose if our 

 service was not profitable with those 

 with whom we are presently doing 

 business.

 quarters at 74 East Randolph street, in 

 a room which can not be leased under 

 $20,000 per year. 



A. J. Zech, who has been around a 

 bit says the lilies will not average more 



than half as many flowers per bulb as 

 they did last year. Large numbers of 

 plants carry only one or two buds.
