There is a great scarcity of Roses general all over the country. However, our plants are just 

 coming in crop with a splendid quality in all lengths of stem. The advantages of buying direct from a 

 large grower are an even run of quality and the flowers all cut. at the same time, also all grown under 

 the best methods of production. 



BEAUTIES — Our flowers are the finest coming into this market, 

 not advise handling at this time of year. 



EASTER LILIES — Large flowers on fine, long stems. 



The short stem Beauties we do 



FANCY CARNATIONS~0ur carnation houses are the wonder of the trade, the flowers are

 market. Growing all the flowers we sell, our customers are getting the benefit of the best methods 

 and careful handling in a large, modern range of glass.

Schupp says the Budlong stock appar- 

 ently has come through in excellent 

 condition. Because of steadily increas- 

 ing demand, 150 feet of bench now is 

 kept constantly filled with pips in 

 process of forcing. 



How many carnations have you cut 

 per square foot this season f If you 

 are a grower compare your record with 

 that of Nick Thinnes, who has twenty- 

 four benches, each .6x136, or 19,584 

 square feet. In October he cut 65,000 

 flowers. When met at Zech & Mann's 

 January 23 he said his total pick for 

 the season to that date was 220,000. 

 Mr. Thinnes' son is entitled to a good 

 part of the credit. 



Zech & Mann doubled their telephone 

 equipment last week. They now have 

 two lines and four stations. A cashier 

 also has been installed at a convenient 

 window near the city ticket machines, 

 so that no money need in future be 

 handled by the salesmen. 



The A. F. Amling Co., Maywood, al- 



ready has started replanting operations 

 for next season. Beauties have been 

 thrown out of some of the houses that 

 are being put in shape for the early 

 planting of Mrs. Bussell, using grafts 

 supplied by Poehlmann Bros. Co. 



Funeral work made several spurts 

 last week with the Fleischman Floral 

 Co. Baskets of spring flowers are at- 

 tractively displayed in the store. No 

 manager has as yet been appointed, 

 Mr. Ashton, for years the floor man, 

 being in charge for Dr. Eubel, presi- 

 dent of the company. 



N. J. Wietor thinks Killarney Bril- 

 liant will give a better account of it- 

 self next season than it did in its first 

 one, which was good enough so that 

 Wietor Bros, will triple the space given 

 it, carrying over 3,000 plants and plant- 

 ing 6,000 young stock. 



The new French roses of the South 

 Park Floral Co., George Elgar and 

 Souv. de Guillard, have been featured 

 recently in A. Lange 's work and ad- 



vertising. They are reported to have 

 taken well with his trade, especially 

 Elgar. ' 



At the Peter Eeinberg establishment 

 there are two new carnations that 

 originated with W. T. Symonds, De- 

 corah, la. Josie Merle, pink, already 

 has been mentioned in this column. 

 Decorah is a dark red, almost maroon, 

 from which some good blooms are now 

 being cut. There are only a few 'plants. 



The Cook County Florists' Associa- 

 tion held its usual monthly meeting 

 January 21. There was a small at- 

 tendance and the only business of im- 

 portance was adjournment subject to 

 the call of the officers. 



Arthur Eichel, 4228 North Fortieth 

 avenue, makes no complaint as to busi- 

 ness. Mrs. Eichel runs the store and 

 the selling, Mr. Eichel the growing and 

 buying. The houses are full of carna- 

 tions and pot plants and Of course the 

 business pays.
