C. L. Shcrer visited Detroit, Cleve- 

 land, Akron and Cincinnati at the end 

 of last week. He says Cincinnati is 

 doing an active business and that the 

 florists in the otlier places visited feel 

 that general business in their communi- 

 ties has turned the corner and will pick 

 up steadily from now on. 



No rose grower has lioped more 

 urgently for sunsliine tlian George J. 

 Ball. A splendid Christinas croj) of 

 calendulas at Glen Ellyn has been 

 awaiting a day when the sun appears, 

 to bring them into full l)loom. They 

 rest half-open during the cloudy 

 we.ather. Six lOO-foot beds, each con- 

 taining 1,500 ])lants, are devoted to the 

 Ball strain so much in demand on this 

 market. 



H. E. Humiston, who travels in the 

 interest of the fertilizer department of 

 A. Henderson & Co., returned December 

 19 from the southeast, to spend the 

 holidays at home. 



Unless growers receive an Jidcquate 

 return on their money, they will be in- 

 clined to invest their earnings in 

 .securities at present high rates of 

 interest rather than devote them to 

 enlarging their glass area, is the 

 opinion of Otto Amling. Such a tend- 

 ency on growers' part indicates, in his 

 estimation, a further danger in recent 

 low wholesale prices. 



Fred Lautenschlager has not been at 

 his desk at Kroeschell Bros. Co. since 

 the flower show at the Auditorium hotel. 

 After the Florists' Club meeting, De- 

 cember 8, which he rose from a sickbed 

 to attend, he suffered a relapse. Further 

 lancing by his physician lias relieved 

 him sonievvhat, but he is still confined to 

 bed.

One of the fanciest delivery ears in 

 town is the Dodge truck of .1. .T. Duffy 

 Floral Co., 5431 South Halsted street, 

 which is seen on the market at least 

 once every day. The panel body is blue 

 and gold. 



Richard F. Gloede, of Evanston, is 

 prei)aring to put a new geranium on the 

 market early in 1922. It is named for 

 liis wife, Mrs. Richard F. Gloede. The 

 color is descril)ed as bright cerise rose. 

 Mr. Gloede has grown the variety for 

 several years and believes it has un- 

 usual merit. 



¥j. Wienhoeber celebrated his seven- 

 tieth birthday anniversary December 

 21. He was born in Hanover, Germany, 

 in 18i)l, came to America in 1865 aiid 

 has been in the florists' business in 

 Chicago since 1881. 



This will be Ed Enders' thirty-fourth

paper," December 17. The Tribune's 

 "Inquiring Reporter" wanted to know 

 what the Broadway florist thought of a 

 street car subway and got this answer: 

 "A subway system with terminals in 

 the loop would only increase conges- 

 tion, and never solve Chicago's trans- 

 jiortation problem. Expansion outside 

 the loop alone will increase business as 

 a wholCj as well as helping the loop." 

 Typical of the views of florists whose 

 interests are in the outlying business 

 districts, don't you think?
