Willie Abrabamson has started in 

 again as buyer for out-of-town retailers. 

 Other recent ventures of this character 

 have not proved fortunate. 



The W. W. Barnard Co. had an ex- 

 tensive showing at the poultry show 

 just closed at the Coljueum. Seven 

 salesmen were in attendance. Arnold 

 Ringier spent most of his evenings 

 there. 



Bassett & Washburn say many buy-

 Rhea Reid for Christmas, not Richmond 

 or Milady. Mr. Washburn considers 

 Reid has proved an extremely good 

 rose for his firm. He considers the 

 business situation more nearly normal

this week than at any time this season. 

 Fred Klingel, who is the statistician 

 of Erne & Klingel, says sales from 

 August 1 to December 15 are even with 

 the same period of 1913, which he 

 would consider satisfactory except for 

 the fact that the firm had previously 

 been making a steady increase. 



This is an extremely busy week at 

 Morton Grove, where the zero weather 

 added not a little to the work of pack- 

 ing and shipping Christmas plants. 

 The cyclamens and begonias were ex- 

 tremely good this year and have sold 

 splendidly. Azaleas in the smaller 

 sizes were far short of the demand.
