Various Notes. 



A. L. Vaughan calls attention to the 

 fact that many out-of-town buyers for- 

 get there is no mail delivery in Chicago 

 on Sunday. He says it is the regular 

 thing to find orders in Monday morn- 

 ing's mail that were intended to be de- 

 livered in time for shipment Sunday. 



Searching for a possible successor to 

 deteriorating Enchantress, Wietor Bros, 

 this week received 1,000 cuttings of 

 Alice, Peter Fisher's new light pink. 

 N. J. Wietor says they find Philadelphia 

 excellent for quality, but so slow he 

 fears it will not hold its place.

 here this week on one of his periodical 

 visits. He makes his headquarters with 

 Kyle & Foerster.

 Eeinberg's business shows the unusual 

 record of having been better in the 

 week that contained Ash Wednesday 

 than it was in the excellent week that 

 ended with St. Valentine's day. At 

 the greenhouses the Beauty range has 

 just been repiped, putting the coils un- 

 derneath the benches, instead of over- 

 head. There are 5,000 pots of Easter 

 lilies this year. 



Representing the Englewood Commer- 

 cial Association, George Walther was

Scarlet fever for several weeks has 

 disturbed the home affairs of the
