The Days They Celebrate. > 



Miss Virginia Poehlmann celebrated 

 an anniversary February 26. Hers is 

 the best ago of all. She was 22. 



C L. Washburn passed his sixty- 

 fourth milestone February 27. They had 

 a party for him at Pasadena, 

 f A. C. Kohlbrand was 54 February 28. 

 He had the usual box of cigars for his 

 friends. 



"A. B. C." Miller will bo 35 years 

 old March 4. This is a young man's era. 



Leonard Vaughan will bo 42 March 8. 



John C. Enders will be 56 years young 

 March 8. 



Various Notes. 



H. B. Kennicott believes that in two 

 or three years the plumosus industry in 

 Florida will be found to have been great- 

 ly overdone and that the price will bo 

 unprofitably low. Growers there are 

 planting all the Asparagus plumosus 

 seeds they can get hold of, but it takes 

 a year before there is anything to pick, 

 and nearly two years before there is a 

 full crop. 



The death of Mary Eeinberg Zender 

 is recorded in this week's obituary col- 

 umn. 



George Goebel, for some time with 

 A. T. Pyfer & Co., will join the forces 

 of the Chicago Flower Growers' Associa- 

 tion next week. 



J. C. Nielsen now calls on his cus- 

 tomers in a new Dodge coupe. 



The latest addition to the staff of 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. is Captain O. C. 

 Johns, who will travel for the supply 

 department in Ohio and eastern terri- 

 tory. Captain Johns entered the avia- 

 tion service in 1917 and since his dis- 

 charge has been engaged in commercial 

 flying. His alliance with Poehlmann 

 brings him again into association with 

 an old friend, because both he and Man- 

 ager M. N. Tyler formerly were with 

 the Botzum Bros. Co., of Cleveland. 



Arthur M. Anderson returned from 

 Europe February 27. 



Miss Nettie Parker had so far recov- 

 ered from the injuries sustained in the 

 recent taxicab accident that she was 

 able to leave the West Side hospital Feb- 

 ruary 27. 



Adolph Poehlmann is again giving 

 praetically lii.s whole time to supervision 

 of the rose growing operations at Plant 

 B of Poehlniai*! Bros. Co., at Morton 

 Grove, and tlie stock is showing the re- 

 sults of his skill. The company has de- 

 cided to droj) Ophelia after this season, 

 Butterfly being grown in its place. 



Tlic sifkncss of W. J. Smyth has con- 

 fined Iiini indoors recently and August 

 Poehlmann has been at home threatened 

 with pneumonia. For that reason these 

 [lillars of the board of directors of the 

 Allied Florists' Association were absent 

 from tlie annual meeting of the organ- 

 ization Fel)ruary 27, reported on another 

 page of this issue. 



K. J. Wietor has widely distributed, 

 this season, the stock of his new car- 

 nation, White Supreme. It is a sport of 

 Enchantress Supreme. 



George Stollery is to be the speaker 

 of the evening before Riivcnswood 

 Lodge Kniglits of Pythias March 6. His 

 subject is to be the extent and impor- 

 tance of floriculture in the United States 

 and particularly in Illinois.
