was voted to proceed with the annual 

 carnation show on March 8 and E. F. 

 Winterson was appointed manager. A 

 niunber of out-of-town growers have in- 

 dicated their intention of being present, 

 all the season's novelties will be shown 

 and it promises to be the best carnation 

 show the club has ever had. 



Following the club meeting there was 

 a short meeting of the IlEnois State 

 Florists' Association, both Chairman 

 Hartshorne and Secretary Hasselbring 

 being present. The approaching Peoria 

 convention was informally discussed. 



Various Notes. 



C. L. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash- 

 burn, to whom the coal supply is one of 

 the never-ending problems, says that if 

 growers will take his advice they will 

 at once proceed to put in a supply of 

 fuel to last until the end of the present 

 firing season. 



Stollery Bros, are marketing a largo 

 lot of La Seine tulips in small pots. 



Harry Klunder was out this week 

 without his cane for the first time in 

 several weeks. 



E. F. Winterson spent Sunday on the 

 north shore, a part of the day with his 

 friend, Fritz Bahr, at Highland Park. 

 Mr. Winterson says he thinks very highly 

 of Mr. Bahr's seedling carnation, white 

 with markings closely resembling Pros- 

 perity. 



George Eeinberg says that the rooted 

 cutting business is starting off in fine 

 shape but he notes that the demand is 

 for the newer and better varieties and 

 that the older sorts go slowly. 



C. W. McKellar reports that the crop 

 of Catileya Trianse is passing off and 

 that orchids will shortly be harder to 

 get and bring more money. 



Peter Eeinberg has the last few days 

 been experiencing some of the disadvan- 

 tages of being alderman. He has spent 

 most of his time listening to alternating 

 delegations from the 240 saloons in his 

 ward and from those who favor the pro- 

 posed increase in license. At the same 

 time his mail on the subject is about a 

 bushel of letters a day. 



Elehm's Nursery, after testing 200 

 feet of the Wittbold watering device in 

 a rose house, have ordered 1,000 feet, 

 with. which to equip five more houses. F. 

 B. Hills, at Maywood, will also put it 

 in one house for trial. 



Sam Graff had $500 interest in the af- 

 fair of Herman, the Ghetto champion, 

 at Los Angeles last week. 



N. Weiler, of the Superior Boiler 

 Works, returned last we^ from the 

 Mud Baths at Kramer, Ind., and is now 



Easter Hustlers 



are preparing for Easter now. They know 

 the value of being in time. Don't get 

 caught by missing the last train; mail your 

 order to us today. Tiie Rigiit Ribbons 

 are blended with the natural 

 flower colors, giving them the 

 desired rich tone.

 operation. 



W. E. Lynch, manager of E. H. Hunt's 

 cut fiower department, was called to 

 his old home in Massachusetts by word 

 of the critical illness of his father. 



The automobile show last week had as 

 a feature a handsome glass-sided car, 

 bearing the name of the Chas. A. Shaef- 

 fer Floral Co. It was for the Kansas 

 City firm but the builder took occasion 

 to show it to a number of local re- 

 tailers before delivery. 



F. E. Hills, Maywood, whose product 

 Miss Hills sells at the Growers' Market, 

 is having exceptionally good results with 

 Brides and Maids this season. 



W. N. Eudd has been laid up for more 

 than a month with rheumatism in the 

 back, but is now getting into shape 

 again. 



Henry Wietor is building a fine new 

 residence on the site of the old family 

 home adjoining the greenhouses. The 

 Foley Mfg. C^. supplied the interior 

 finish, which is in keeping with Wietor 

 Bros.' prosperity, as it did for the hand- 

 some new home of Alderman Eeinberg. 



Among the visitors: J. A. Valentine, 

 en route home to Denver from the Bos- 

 ton carnation convention; Bobert Green- 

 law, Boston, looking for business; E. H.

 tion Candace; W. H. Drake, Kenosha,

The Market 



White stock has not been very plenti- 

 ful the past week. Prices on roses and 

 carnations have not changed; some 

 bulbous stock has, however, been sold 

 very cheap. Business moves along very 

 quietly, no rush to be seen anywhere; a 

 few good decorations, but not enough to 

 cause any comment. 



The weather was pleasant part of the 

 week, but we had several of those dark 

 days when you could scarcely recognize a 

 friend across the street at noon, the kind 

 of days that Mr. Eandolph says would 

 make a stranger think, on going into one 

 of our greenhouses, that it had a sheet 

 iron roof. 



Various Notes. 



J. W. Criswell, who started in the busi- 

 ness a little over a year ago at Vander- 

 grift. Pa., is making a great success as
