They are grown right here at home, where we can get them fresh and unbruised by rehandling— send them to you in as good 

 shape as though you cut them in your own grembouse. A big crop is on. We are sure you never handled better quality. 

 Prices very cheap— a fine chance to sell orchids low and stiU make the usual margin of profit. Write us about it if you can 

 use a quantity. It will pay you to push them. 



Single- VIOLETS-^®"'''® 



Our Violets are fine. We have the choicest pick of the Hudson river doubles, big, fine, dark blue flowers; also the fragrant 

 western singles, large, fine flowers. We can quote very attractive prices on lots of 50( 0, 10,000 and up. 



And don't for a moment forset that Randall's is headauarters for Roses— no larger suoply. no more complete assortment, no better stock, no 



more reasonable prices— no place where you can get better or more certain satisfaction.

gating it, and the same is true of Ophe- 

 lia and Killarney Brilliant. Eichmond 

 is not so plentiful as it was, but there 

 are one or two growers cutting good 

 crops of Milady. It has been a long 

 time since this market was so short of 

 Beauties. The growers who are cutting 

 any quantity are not fortunate enough 

 to have good quality. The demand ap- 

 pears to have subsided with the de- 

 crease in supply and the deterioration 

 in quality. Today more than ever be- 

 fore the Beauty growers are convinced 

 that this rose no longer pays. 



If anyone finds difficulty in getting 

 roses or carnations, let him order vio- 

 lets. Last week prices were the lowest 

 of the season. It is expected that there 

 will be a first-class demand for St. Val- 

 entine's day, though no high prices are 

 anticipated. 



Bulbous stock of all descriptions 

 is abundant. There are none too many 

 good tulips, but there is an oversupply 

 of poor flowers. Jonquils have become 

 more than equal to the demand, but 

 there is not yet any large quantity of 

 daffodils. Paper Whites continue a glut. 

 Freesia is more plentiful than ever be- 

 fore in this market, but is selling well. 

 Easter lilies, for the moment, are in 

 comparatively light supply. Callas are 

 available, but are not in special request. 

 Rubrums sell fairly well. 



Perhaps as good a seller as anything 

 is the Spencer type of sweet peas. The 

 weather conditions have been such that 

 the plants still are dropping the buds 

 and the supply is not large. Such good 

 stock as is received sells on sight. Ste- 

 via is making its final bow for the sea- 

 son. 



The green goods situation remains 

 practically without change. There is an 

 abundance of everything in this line. 



A New Loop Store. 



Wra. Lubliner, who has a store in 

 Milwaukee, has leased the vacant room 

 at 36 South Wabash avenue, the rental 

 being reported as $6,000 per year. It is

almost exactly opposite the store of 

 George Wienhoeber, recently conducted 

 by Lubliner & Trinz, Harry Lubliner, 

 of that firm, being a brother of the 

 proprietor of the new venture. The lo- 

 cation is excellent and affords facilities 

 for a large business. It is understood 

 the store will open about March 1. 



Incidentally, the corner of Wabash 

 avenue and Monroe street is becoming 

 a retail flower store center. George 

 Wienhoeber, John Mangel and the Bo- 

 hannon Floral Co. are close at hand and 

 A. Lange and the Alpha Floral Co. are 

 only a block away, with several smaller 

 stores in near-by basements. 



Chicago Florists' Club. 



The Chicago Florists' Club gave an 

 old-fashioned smoker at the meeting 

 February 4, at the Bismarck hotel. 

 Clay pipes and an abundance of to- 

 bacco were furnished to the members. 

 Early in the meeting, Eeinhold Schiller 

 suggested a novel means of promoting 

 better acquaintance among those pres- 

 ent. Starting with the president, W. 

 J. Keimel, each person was introduced 

 to his neighbors with the details as to 

 what he is and where he belongs. This 

 added much to the enjoyment of the

evening and is to become an estab-

 the club with a vocal selection. He 

 was accompanied by James Pollard. 



In its report, the transportation com- 

 mittee stated it had conferred with 

 representatives of different roads as to 

 rates to San Francisco to attend the 

 convention of the S. A. F., but the 

 committee has reached no decision. 



During the evening the following 

 were elected to membership: Peter 

 Bourman, 704 Garfield avenue; Albert 

 Fuhrman, 2242 San Jose avenue; Ed- 

 ward Hunt, 5934 Winchester avenue; 

 Abe Iralson, 356 East Forty-third

A committee was appointed to con-
