Something new that lends itself readily to the ingenuity of the up-to-date Florist for 

 making Wreaths, Hoping, Garlands, etc. It is a light green color and is unexcelled 

 for Basket work as a substitute for Sea Moss.

its part of the haul, if the new tariff 

 goes into effect, putting the cost back 

 where it was before the growers got 

 their order putting these stations into 

 the Chicago district. 



Various Notes. 



The American Eose Society has de- 

 clined the invitation to hold its next 

 meeting and exhibition in Chicago. It 

 has been decided to meet in Boston, 

 March 25 to 28. 



N. J. Wietor says he is well satisfied 

 with the Christmas orders and consid- 

 ers the prices, except on Beauties, will 

 average as good as those his house re- 

 ceived last year, the stock grading high. 



Gas from a leaking main has caused 

 considerable damage at the establish- 

 ment of N. J. Kruchten, Berwyn and 

 "Western avenues. Before the leak 

 could be located the gas had spread 

 through the entire range. It seems 

 that owing to the frozen ground the 

 leaking gas seeped through the earth 

 and rose to the surface in the green- 

 houses, heavily damaging everything in 

 the place, especially sweet peas and 

 carnations. There are over 35,000 car- 

 nation plants in the houses. The 

 Kruchten range consists of seven houses, 

 about 50,000 square feet of glass. 



Heinz & Schwinnen are among the 

 carnation growers who are not com- 

 plaining and who, when they paid 1915 

 subscription to The Review, could pro- 

 duce nothing smaller than a lO-doUar 

 bill. Out on North Western avenue 

 they operate 20,000 feet of glass, all in 

 carnations, and have had good cuts and 

 good quality. 



E. H. Blameuser will disseminate his 

 new carnation, Cerise Winsor, this sea- 

 son, through his agents, the A. L. 

 Randall Co. He sent out Joy last sea- 

 son. 



Gus Nielsen, the veteran rose grower 

 at present with Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 will leave Morton Grove March 1 and 

 assume a foreman's responsibilities at 

 the new establishment of GuUett & 

 Sons, Lincoln, HI. 



John Michelsen spent December 17 

 visiting business connections of the E. 

 C. Amling Co. at Richmond and Indian- 

 apolis. 



Anton Then will celebrate his sixtieth 

 birthday anniversary Christmas day. 



The steady increase in the demand 

 for roses, somewhat at the expense of 

 carnations, is noted by A. L. Vaughan, 

 who says Christmas orders ran stronger 

 on roses than ever before. 



Arthur Mundwiller has removed from 

 208 Cicero avenue to 180 Cicero ave-

nue, where he has a much better store 

 and is doing a nice Christmas business. 



Carnations are not paying so well as 

 roses, in the experience of Peter Heir- 

 ens. At his place in Rogers Park he 

 displaced part of his carnations this 

 season and is so well pleased with re- 

 sults that he plans to put the entire es- 

 tablishment into Killarney, White Kil- 

 larney and Richmond for next season. 



Charles Zapfe, 372 East Sixty-first 

 street, was painfully injured in an un- 

 usual accident on the night of Decem- 

 ber 16. He was walking west on Ran- 

 dolph street when, as he started to cross 

 La Salle street, a rope trailing from a 

 passing Wells-Fargo wagon became en- 

 twined around his ankle, dragging him 

 twenty or thirty feet. Mr. Zapfe is 

 barely able to hobble around, but luck- 

 ily there were no bones broken. 



For next season's planting at New- 

 castle, F. J. Benthey & Co., whose 

 stock is sold at Zech & Mann's, will 

 confine themselves to Killarney, White

Killarney, Shawyer and Ophelia, with a 

 few Sunburst. Ophelia and Shawyer 

 are well liked. No red will be grown, 

 Richmond not having given a return 

 equal to the others. 



The Boston Store bought up all the 

 small azaleas to be had, intending to 

 have a Christmas sale like its Easter 

 sale of lilies, but could not get enough 

 plants at its price to make much of a 

 stir. 



O. A. Tonner reports a good sale for 

 mahonia sprays cut in a nearby 

 nurserj'. 



H. Bauske did not crop his roses
