apolis, oflPering a secret chemical that 

 is said to cause cut flowers to remain 

 fresh for from three to six months. All 

 that is asked for the exclusive rights 

 in Illinois is $5,000 and a penny a 

 flower for the stock treated. The cor- 

 respondent asks for a box of flowers 

 on which to demonstrate! If people 

 could keep cut flowers six months it 

 would mean the end of the greenhouse 

 business, but there seems no reason for 

 immediate alarm. 



August Poehlmann has accomplished 

 something worth while in arranging for 

 a direct connection between the Morton 

 Grove office of Poehlmann Bros. Co. 

 and the system of the Chicago Tele- 

 phone Co., via the Rogers Park ex- 

 change, thus doing away with toll and 

 the delays incident to calling through 

 long distance. The greenhouse call now 

 is Rogers Park 684. 



Charles Erne attributes the lack of 

 demand for Christmas to the accumula- 

 tion of unusually large supplies of stock 

 all through the country, as the result 

 of slack business and cold weather dur- 

 ing the preceding fortnight. He thinks 



that had business been brisk or the 

 weather warm no such accumulations 

 of stock would have been possible and 

 the normal Christmas demand would 

 have resulted. 



The A. L. Randall Co. is busy this 

 week taking inventory in the supplies 

 department. The clean-up on Christmas 

 specialties is said to have been the best 

 since the company went into the supply 

 business. 



Cliflford Pruner has been at home for 

 a week, nursing his bad leg. 



N. P. Miller says Kennicott Bros. Co. 

 received 800 King gladioli from Florida 

 one day too late for Christmas. The 

 entire shipment had been sold for de- 

 livery December 24. 



Felix Reichling says Peter Reinberg 

 cut 75,000 carnations Christmas week 

 and had to buy 1,500 December 24 to 

 complete the filling of orders. The 

 Beauty crop was a few days late. 



The E. C. Amling Co. had quite a 

 quantity of pompon mums for Christ- 

 mas, but found the buyers had lost 

 their appetite for them. Stock that 

 sold quickly during its season could not 



be cleaned up. Jonquils arrived in 

 time for Christmas. 



As indicating the increase in the 

 cost of growing flowers, N. J. Wietor 

 mentions as one item that Pocahontas 

 coal that once cost, in Rogers Park, 

 $3.10 per ton now costs $3.75. When 

 thousands of tons are burned in a sea- 

 son, the difference is important. 



Winterson's Seed Store reports an 

 excellent call for Spirsea Gladstone, the 

 importations of this variety being 

 cleaned up ahead of Queen Alexandra. 



A. T. Pyfer says the Joliet plant of 

 the Chicago Carnation Co. did not cut 

 nearly so heavily this Christmas as last, 

 but that the stock from the Pyfer & 

 Olsem range more than made up the 

 difference, so that considerably more 

 flowers were handled than last year. 



C. L. Washburn reported C. E. Qul- 

 lett, of W. H. Gullett & Sons, Lincoln, 

 m., a visitor December 28. Mr. Wash- 

 burn makes little complaint as to De- 

 cember business. 



The Bohannon Floral Co. did a good 

 Christmas business. The force was in- 

 creased, as usual, to take care of the
