opening he has ordered wild smiiaz of 

 Kennicott Bros. Co., two cases going out 

 by express last Saturday night. Surely 

 that is the limit for the Alabama green. 

 The express rate Chicago to Los Angeles 

 is $11.50 per hundred pounds, so that 

 Mr. Wolfskin pays fifteen per cent mon 

 for charges than the cost of the goods — 

 and wild smilax at $5 per case in Chi- 

 cago has already paid one good toll to 

 the express company. 



Various Notes. 



Philip Kirchner, who is in charge of 

 the Chicago conservatories of E. M. Bar- 

 ton, 4629 Greenwood avenue, has a beau- 

 tiful pure white sport of Dr. Enguehard 

 chrysanthemum which originated on his 

 place this season. It has been given the 

 name of Mrs. Enos M. Barton and Mr. 

 Kirchner thinks so well of it that he 

 will propagate all possible for next sea- 

 son. Several mum growers who have 

 seen this white sport predict that it will 

 prove to be one of the best varieties pro- 

 duced in years. 



E. T. Wanzer, at Wheaton, is ship- 

 ping in some excellent carnations. Vic- 

 tory is fine with him, also Enchantress. 

 For white he grows White Lawson, Boun- 

 tiful and Boston Market. Mrs. Nelson 

 and Mrs. Lawson are his pinks. He 

 had some good mums and now uses the 

 space for propagating. 



The good old year, 1906, was a warm 

 member. Not only was the business pace 

 the hottest on record, but the tempera- 

 ture was above the average to a surpris- 

 ing extent. The weather bureau keeps a 

 i«oord of each day's mean temperature 

 a^d adding the daily excess the record 

 shows that in 1906 we had 1,032 degrees 



more heat than normal. Also, there has 

 been more wind and much less sun. 



Miss A. L. Tonner, in the supply de- 

 partment of the A. L. Bandall Co., says 

 prospects for spring business are excel- 

 lent. They still are opening new goods 

 right along and find that it means some- 

 thing to gather a complete stock. 



W. J. Smyth had a large amount of 

 work Sunday for the funeral of J. E. 

 Holden, manager of the retail store of 

 Marshall Field & Co. 



Miss Lillian Bowes, of Michigan City, 

 Ind., was in town New Year's eve. She 

 reports trade increasing steadily. 



John Ziska is now personally handUng 

 the stock of the Chicago Rose Co., John 

 Sterrett being no longer with the firm. 



O. W. Frese, of the Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., spent the last few days of 1906 at 

 home, nursing a severe cold. 



Wietor Bros, are filling their benches 

 formerly occupied by chrysanthemums 

 largely with cuttings. They do an annu- 

 ally increasing business in rose and car- 

 nation cuttings and especially in chrysan- 

 themums. . 



E. H. Hunt's express themselves as 

 much better pleased with the way violets 

 have acted in the last ten days than with 

 the way white carnations have gone. 



Joseph Foerster says that George Rein- 

 berg will not propagate roses and carna- 

 tions as heavily tbia year as in previous 

 seasons, the blooms lost in the process, 

 at the present grade and prices, being 

 worth more than the cuttings. 



C. W. McKellar says the call for or- 

 chids, violets and vaJley was good be- 

 tween Christmas and New Year's. 



C. H. Fisk, at Ogden avenue and Mad- 

 ison street, reports a record breaking 



Christmas trade, mostly in blooming 

 plants. He purchased double the amount 

 handled a year ago and cleaned it all 

 out. 



Weiland & Risch are propagating Kil- 

 larney in large quantity, anticipating an 

 even heavier demand than last year. 



John D. Rockefeller has given the Uni- 

 versity of Chicago $2,5(W for green- 

 houses for the botanical department. 



H. F. HEille contracted a severe cold 

 just before the holidays and he is sick 

 in bed in consequence. His business, 

 however, is reported prospering and his 

 Christmas trade in plants was most grati- 

 fying. 



The Empire Theater Co., Milwaukee, 

 has been organized, Harry Lubliner, 

 president, and Joe Trinz, secretary and 

 treasurer. A new theater seating 800 is 

 being built and will be ready for busi- 

 ness in a month or two. A delegation 

 from Chicago will attend the opening. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. has put in a 

 large stock of M. V. Garnsey's Japana 

 and Anglais cut flower vases and find 

 they sell well. 



H. C. Wullbrandt has removed to Fif- 

 ty-third and Madison, where he has just 

 completed a new plant, a stere and two 

 greenhouses, the latter each 20x125. He 

 reports business opening good. 



Max Ringier, of Kennicott 's, was teken 

 ill in the store last Friday with a re- 

 currence of his old trouble. His condi- 

 tion gave alarm for a day or two. 



The wholesalers in the Atlas building 

 whose leases expire next May are finding 

 rents raised about fifteen per cent. 



P. J. Hauswirth, secretary of the S. 

 A. F., expects to start Saturday on a 

 two weeks' eastern trip. He also will
