hibition of the American Carnation So- 

 ciety. The company has entered in 

 most of the general classes. Peter 

 Olsem, who now devotes his energies to 

 the interests of Pyfer & Olsem, is one 

 of the judges. 



John Zeeh notes a quite satisfactory 

 increase in the number of telegrams 

 ordering shipments this week. 



H. B. Kennieott, new president of 

 Kennicott Bros. Co., has arranged an 

 extension of the lease on the quarters 

 the company has occupied for several 

 years and is making plans for a thor- 

 ough remodeling of the store. 



Felix Beichling says that Peter Eein- 

 berg is receiving many orders for the 

 Josie Merle carnation. Many buyers 

 apparently are trying the cut blooms 

 preparatory to investing in cuttings for 

 their own benches. 



Erne & Klingel indicate their belief 

 that wholesalers who, like themselves, 

 have been able to do about the same 

 volume of business as last y^pir should

 three houses, each 57x350, will hold 

 just 33,000 plants of Mrs. Kussell. 



J. G. Schumann, formerly of Schu- 

 mann & Kohout, of Libertyville, now 

 is with Wendland & Keimel Co., at 

 Elmhurst. Before his venture into 

 business for himself Mr. Schumann was 

 for many years a successful grower for 

 Bassett & Washburn. 



The establishment of Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., Morton Grove, where there 

 are twenty-eight big steam boilers, has 

 used nothing but Illinois coal this sea- 

 son. 



Henry Haberkamp has bought out 

 his partner in the firm of Homeyer & 

 Haberkamp, Mt. Prospect, HI. It is 

 understood Mr. Homeyer will build a 

 range for himself in the same town. 

 The old place consists of two houses 

 that can not well be enlarged and is 

 too small for two such good growers of 

 carnations. 



J. Byers is assisting Hoerber Bros., 

 at their city store, until something per- 

 maneilt turns up. 



Ernest Szontagh, 1736 West Forty- 

 seventh street, says he is willing to 

 risk a loss and have a good stock in 

 his store rather than show only a few 

 cut flowers. He has been busy with
