of 1,401 cases, nearly all of which went 

 into cold storage. A. Miller has spent a 

 week at Minneapolis and St. Paul. 



I. Rosnosky returned December 3, 

 after having spent three months on the 

 road in the south. He looks to have 

 gained twenty pounds. 



M. C. Wright, managing director of 

 the western organization of the Lord & 

 Burnham Co., left December 6 to spend 

 a month in southern Texas. This is the 

 first vacation Mr. Wright has had in a 

 long time and he plans to make the most 

 of it, with Ids family. 



Blaine Wilcox, of Council Bluffs, has 

 been in the city for several days, under 

 medical treatment for an injury received 

 in an automobile accident. J. S. Wilson 

 and J. S. Wilson, Jr., of Des Moines, ar- 

 rived here December 6, and have been in 

 conference with Mr. Wilcox. Rumor has 

 it that an amalgamation of interests is 

 about to be consummated. 



Bert Chadwick, who recently joined 

 the staff of the E. C. Amling Co., is plan- 

 ning a short trip next week, for the dou- 

 ble purpose of booking some Christmas 

 orders and acquainting himself with 

 trade conditions in a few of the cities 

 where his firm has important customers. 



G. W. French is on the Pacific coast. 



P. C. Schupp says that the new cerise- 

 pink sport of the Nesbit rose is meeting 

 with much favor among the retailers. 

 The sport occurred among the plants of 

 Nesbit at the greenhouse of A. H. Bud- 

 long, who is perhaps the only grower of 

 Nesbit for this market. A considerable 

 stock of the sport has been worked up. 



The market is almost bare of bouquet 

 green. The quantity arriving at Chi- 

 cago this year has been extremely small 

 and florists who manufacture roping and 

 wreaths have found themselves in com- 

 petition with the supply houses, which 

 want lycopodium for dyeing. For any 

 small lots of green now offered $12.50 

 per hundred pounds is asked. 



Geo. P. Hoefel, of Des Plaines, who 

 ships his stock to the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Association, has been repeat- 

 ing his usual success with late chrys- 

 anthemums. His Seidewitz annually are 

 the envy of many growers. 



John P. Degnan left December 4 for 

 Los Angeles, where he expects to locate. 



Hans Jopscn says there was an ex- 

 tremely good early demand for rooted 

 cuttings of chrysanthemums and pom- 

 pons. Last month he spent al)out .$100 

 in advertising in The Review and re- 

 ceived orders aggregating over $1,700. 



Wendland & Keimcl Co., at Elmhurst, 

 will not be in full crop for Christmas, 

 but nevertheless they estimate the cut 

 for Cliristmas week at 78,000 blooms. 

 Last yenr they had 85,000. 



It is reported that thrust Rober is 

 jilanning to go into business again, tliis 

 time in California. 



Many growers visit the establishment 

 of Fred Stielow, at Niles Center, to in- 

 spect the oil burners in operation. It 

 is the Crane system and has given ex- 

 cellent results thus far. 



Edward Siebrecht, some vears ago .i 

 member of tlie staff of the" Fleischmaii 

 Floral Co., now in business for himself 

 at Marion, Ind., was a visitor, December 

 3, at the store of Kennicott Bros. Co.
