CATTLEYAS 



FOR ST. VALENTINE'S DAY 



We offer Cattleyas that are extra fine. They are grown light here at home, where we can get them 

 fresh and unbruieed by rehandling — eend thfm to you in as good shape as thcugh jou cut them in 

 your own greenhouse. A big crop is on. We are sure you never handled better quality. Prices very 

 cheap — a fine chance to sell orchids low and still make the usual margin of profit. Write ub about 

 it if you can use a quantity. It will pay you to push them for St. Valentine's day.

 A. T. Pyfer. 



N, J, Wietor says Carnation White 

 Perfection leaves little to be desired as 

 now flowering at the establishment of 

 Wietor Bros. 



Erne & Klingel report an excellent 

 sale for Adiantum Croweanum. A ship- 

 ment from New Jersey, received Feb- 

 ruary 1, had the tips frosted. 



Twenty-four houses have been given 

 to Beauties this season at the estab- 

 lishment of Peter Reinberg, but Super- 

 intendent Emil Reichling says the num- 

 ber will be considerably reduced next 

 season, as room is to be made for from 

 35,000 to 40,000 Mrs. Russell. A part 

 of the space will be obtained by cutting 

 down on Richmond, which has been 

 grown in large quantity for several 

 seasons. 



The Chicago C.irnation Co. sent an 

 exhibit of Aviator and one of Peerless 

 Pink to the Buffalo carnation show, but 

 evidently they went astray, as nothing 

 has since been heard from them. 



The Chicago Florists' Club will give 

 a smoker at the meeting tonight, Feb- 

 ruary 4, at the Bismarck hotel. Mike 

 Fink, of the Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association, is chairman of the commit- 

 tee and states that an especially enjoy- 

 able meeting is in prospect.

HARRY C. ROWE, 160 N.Wabash Ave., CHICAGO 



North Clark street florists, is rejoicing 

 over the arrival of a daughter January 

 24. 



The atmosphere of unusual good cheer 

 apparent this week in the store of Zech 

 & Mann is partly due to the fact that 

 Miss Carrie Zech, daughter of the 

 senior partner and sister of A. Zech, 

 will this week leave the Presbyterian 

 hospital much improved in health. Her 

 illness has been long and painful. Miss 

 Zech is 21 years of age. 



The trade was strongly represented 

 in Referee Eastman's Bankruptcy court 

 in the Monadnock block February 1, 

 when inquiry into the case of the H. A. 

 Fisher Co., of Kalamazoo, was begun. 

 The examination of George Fisher, who 

 was the buyer for the bankrupt, oc- 

 cupied the greater part of the day. 



The wholesale florists who had been 

 subpcenaed were told to return Febru- 

 ary 3, at 2 p. m. 



Announcement was made January 30 

 that, commencing February 1, Frank 

 F. Benthey would make his headquar- 

 ters with Kennicott Bros. Co., selling 

 the roses of the F. J. Benthey estab- 

 lishment at New Castle. 



Albert Fuchs, who will be well re- 

 membered by the older men in the 

 trade, sends The Review a post card 

 showing a fine California field of car- 

 nations, which Mr. Fuchs has inscribed

 He is in Mexico after a visit to the 

 San Diego exposition and sends "Re-
