Sixty-first street, closer to the Wash- 

 ington Park hospital. He expects to 

 move to the new location before 

 March 15. 



Zech & Mann were greatly pleased 

 with the St. Valentine's day business. 

 The week's sales were twice those for 

 the same week last year. February 12 

 and 13 were the best two days' busi- 

 ness the firm ever has done, excepting 

 only the days preceding Christmas, 

 Easter and Memorial day. 



A. T. Pyfer, of the Chicago Carnation 

 Co., comments on the large sale of 

 Dutch hyacinths at the Wilmette store 

 of Pyfer & Olsem February 12 and 13. 



Wellworth Farm, the Kidwell estab- 

 lishment at Downers Grove, is cutting 

 some extremely fine Beauties. The 

 crop has paid well this season. 



At Peter Eeinberg's city store, Felix 

 Beichling reports an unusually good 

 demand for young rose plants. They 

 have not been able to keep up with 

 orders. 



C. W. McKellar suffered a small fire 

 loss at his country home a few days 

 ago. The blaze was discovered just in 

 time to prevent the destruction of the 

 residence. 



Erne & Klingel report a large in- 

 crease in the demand for smilax within 

 the last few days. 



Paul R. Klingsporn believes it is an 

 ill wind that blows nobody good. Fire 

 having forced two of the largest whole- 

 sale cut flower houses into temporary 

 quarters on Michigan avenue, buyers 

 who have not heretofore visited that 

 street are noted in the store of the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association. 



Winterson's Seed Store has its spring 

 catalogues in the hands of the printer. 



A. L. Vaughan still is suffering with 

 neuralgia in his face. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. again is receiv- 

 ing Francis King gladioli from Florida 

 and reports the stock as selling better 

 than it did earlier in the season. 



O. P. Bassett will celebrate his 

 eightieth birthday at his home in Pasa- 

 dena, Cal., March 31. This occasion 

 will be a memorable event in the fam- 

 ily and will be solemnized by a big 

 dinner in which the entire clan, with 

 the exception of Mr. and Mrs. C. L.

Washburn, will participate. Mr. Bas- 

 sett, who has been in the flower busi- 

 ness thirty years, keeps abreast of the 

 activities of the trade and takes pride 

 in being well informed on all subjects 

 related to it. 



The bowlers are having a busy week. 

 Monday night they rolled in the North 

 Chicago league. Tuesday evening the 

 Maywood team played a return visit. 

 Wednesday evening the Florists' league 

 had its regular session and next Sunday 

 Peter Olsem 's friends from Joliet are 

 expected in to return a visit. 



Albert H. Budlong, superintendent 

 of the J. A. Budlong greenhouses in 

 Bowmanville, tells a story on himself. 

 One of his growers recently laid off 

 on account of illness and Mr. Budlong 

 personally handled the section in his 

 absence. To his surprise, he found he

had no time to go about the range 

 telling his boys what to do and 

 how to do it. On the other hand, he 

 found it took all his time to make as 

 good a showing as they did. This led 

 him to remark that if you want a 

 young man in the business to do any- 

 thing, you should let him use his own 

 head once in a while; he can not show 

 what he really knows if acting under 

 direction all the time.
