and jonquils, which are more abundant 

 than at any previous Mothers' day; on 

 Easter and calla lilies, which are not 

 mentioned on many orders; on valley 

 and daisies, which are abundant; on 

 calendulas, mignonette, lupines and 

 statice, which might class as mothers' 

 favorite flower, but which quantity buy- 

 ers seem to overlook, and on gladioli, 

 which now are in large supply, both 

 from the south and from local green- 

 houses. Some of the outdoor gladioli 

 are only mediocre in quality, but much 

 of the stock from under glass is superb 

 and well worth the attention of trade 

 and public. 



Practically all of the wholesale houses 

 will be open Saturday evening and Sun- 

 day morning to accommodate the buyers 

 who find themselves running short of 

 stock.

 connected for many years. 



Here's Something New. 



Did you ever hear of a caliscope or 



thermograph! So far as known, the 

 first outfit ever installed in a green- 

 house establishment has just been put 

 to work in the range of Stielow Bros., 

 at Niles Center. The names are formid- 

 able, but the apparatus is simple. It 

 is merely an equipment by the use of 

 which the fireman in the boiler shed as- 

 certains the exact temperature in any 

 of the fourteen greenhouses in the 

 range. He needs only to step to the in- 

 strument on the wall to do it. The 

 thermoscopes in connection with the 

 thermometers in the greenhouses are 

 electrically connected by wire with 

 the caliscope in the boiler room. 

 If the fireman wants to know the 

 temperature in house No. 11 on any 

 cold winter night when the outside tem- 

 perature is falling fast, he does not need 

 to run half a mile, more or less, to find
