According to August Poehlmann the 

 uBe of motor trucks to haul the cut to 

 the city from Morton Grove has not 

 proved much of an economy in money, 

 but it has proved well worth while 

 in other ways. The cost of two men 

 and the usual allowance tor interest, 

 depreciation, repairs, etc., about equals 

 the sum paid the express company when 

 the stock was sent in by rail. There 

 has been, however, a practical elimina- 

 tion of breakage, which formerly cost 

 several dollars a day. Also, the trucks 

 make city deliveries for the plant de- 

 partment, which has grown rapidly, 

 carry boxes from the new factory to 

 the store and do other work not cov- 

 ered by the record of express charges. 



Wendland & Keimel now ship their 

 cut to market in corrugated fiber board 

 boxes made by the Lanzit Corrugated 

 Paper Box Co., 503 South Jefferson 

 street, using each box only once. 



Josie Merle is the name of a new 

 carnation that is making a reputation 

 as a good shipper. It is a variety 

 Peter Reinberg acquired last year from 

 \V. T. Symonds, of Decorah, la. It is 

 near the color of Rose-pink Enchantress 

 but has better form and keeping qual- 

 ities. 



The Chicago Florists' Club meets to- 

 night, January 7, for the installation of 

 oflBcers. An exhibition of novelties 

 also is announced. 



Mrs. O. W. Frese had a close call 

 New Year's day. She was standing 

 before a window when a stray bullet 

 entered, passing close to her head. The 

 missile is preserved as a memento.

of some 250,000 kentia seeds in his 

 department at Morton Grove. There 

 also is a splendid wide bench of cocos 

 raised from seeds. The palm depart- 

 ment is being steadily developed by 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. 



John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., says he believes the usual mid- 

 winter shortage of roses is in sight. He 

 figures that, all the growers having had 

 their roses and carnations in crop for 

 Christmas, the cuts soon will decrease 

 sharply. Mr. Michelsen anticipates, 

 however, that this season there will be 

 the largest supply of bulbous flowers 

 this market ever has seen. 



With the passing of New Year 's John 

 Degnan has settled down at his desk 

 at Winterson's Seed Store to write the 

 annual spring catalogue. 



Sam Pearce sent in the first tulips 

 seen in the market this year. They 

 arrived January 2.
