ditional plants of Mrs. Kussell rose 

 this year. To make room for these, it 

 has cut out sweet peas and mums al- 

 together. In the future all of the time 

 and space will be devoted to roses. 

 This season there "were twenty-two 

 houses of Beauties on the place. 



Sweet peas are Henry Wehrman's 

 spring specialty and the daily pick is 

 increasing rapidly. Anita Wehrman 

 and Selma Swenson are the two va- 

 rieties that attract the most attention. 



Another of the many growers who 

 has concluded that Beauties are too 

 much of a gamble is Ernst C. Amling. 

 He is clearing his benches of them 

 and planting Ophelia in their place. 

 5© already has one house of this popu- 

 lar rose and expects to put in 8,500 

 more plants^ as soon as he can make 

 room for them. 



. Plants are the specialty with Felch 

 Bros., who have a nice wholesale mail- 

 order trade. 



W. H. Amling is thinking of extend- 

 ing his three shorter houses to make 

 more room for sweet peas and freesias, 

 with which he has had remarkable suc- 

 cess. 



The A. T. Hey Floral Co. is gradu- 

 ally working out of roses. It is the 

 intention of Mr. Hey to specialize in 

 ferns and orchids. One more house of 

 Eoosevelt ferns has been added this 

 spring, as well as several benches of 

 Cattleya labiata. 



William Collatz, manager of the Al- 

 bert F. Amling Co. greenhouses, was 

 called hurriedly to Helvey, Neb., 

 February 25, by the death of a rela- 

 tive. 



Various Notes. 



C. A. Samuelson spent Sunday with 

 his sister, Mrs. C. H. Fallstrom, at 

 Dixon, 111. Mr. Samuelson plans to get 

 away March 8 for a trip to IdaSo, 

 where he has ninety acres of apple 

 orchard on the Snake river, returning 

 in time for the Easter rush. 



The morning of March 2 saw the 

 opening of another up-to-date flower 

 store in the loop. Mirrors, burnished 

 brass and dazzling white fixtures and 

 woodwork make a most attractive set- 

 ting for the excellent display of flow- 

 ers in William Lubliner's new store at 

 36 South Wabash avenue. The win-
