the leaking gas quickly to the open 

 ground beneath the greenhouses. For 

 previous losses Mr. Brodbeck received 

 no recompense, so this time he con- 

 sulted his attorneys before notifying 

 the gas company or destroying any 

 evidence. 



N. J. Kruchten's place gradually is 

 working out of the disaster of several 

 weeks ago, when gas killed many of 

 the sweet peas, scorched the carnations 

 and touched up the chrysanthemum 

 stock plants. There was a heavy loss 

 <in the peas, but the carnations suf- 

 fered the worst. The Christmas crop 

 was cut, counted and dumped; what 

 then were buds now are developing cu- 

 riously streaked, mottled and deformed 

 flowers; the new growth is pitifully 

 weak. John Kruchten says the claim 

 flled with the gas company, backed up 

 by figures and photographs, represents 

 only actual loss and yet runs to a good- 

 ly sum. For instance, there were 

 clumps of five or six sweet pea plants 

 growing around each of 575 purlin 



posts and the claim is made that last 

 season these averaged a return of $1 

 per clump. The gas company officials 

 have been attentive and courteous, have 

 promised prompt consideration of the 

 claim, but as yet have made no offer 

 of settlement. 



A Pat Hand. 



Here are four of a kind, almost: 

 , John Poehlmann, president of Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., has been invisible; rea- 

 son: a boil on his face. 



A. L. Vaughan has been scarcely 

 recognizable; cause: neuralgia and an 

 ulcerated eye tooth. 



C. W. McKellar has been irascible, 

 and nobody blames him: carbuncle on 

 neck. 



T. E/ Waters doesn't know what did 

 it, but his face swelled till both eyes 

 were closed; half open now. 



Various Notes. 



The Chicago party to the carnation 



convention had a special car on the 

 Lake Shore Limited January 26. Those 

 present were: J. A. Valentine, Denver; 

 Wilbur Gullett and wife, Lincoln, 111.; 

 Nic Zweifel and Wm, R. Schroeder, 

 Milwaukee; P. W. Peterson, Joliet, 111.; 

 Fred Lautenschlager, A. Henderson, 

 W. N. Rudd, George Asmus, C. W. 

 Johnson, M. Barker and H. B. Howard. 



An adjourned meeting of the Horti- 

 cultural Society of Chicago was held 

 at the Art Institute January 26, result- 

 ing in a further adjournment for two 

 weeks. 



A. H. Budlong is much improved in 

 health and puts in every day at work 

 in the J. A. Budlong greenhouses, where 

 propagating is being busily prosecuted. 

 P. C. Schupp states that the valley 

 pips are all in from Germany except 

 one lot of 100,000. While there are re- 

 ports that solne of the pips that came 

 via Rotterdam made growth in transit 

 and are useless for cold storage, Mr.
