Maids. He gives it exactly the same 

 treatment as his Brides and Maids. 



C. L. Washburn has returned from a 

 week's rest at West Baden, Ind. His 

 son, E. L. Washburn, has resumed his 

 studies at Madison. 



Louis Gresenz, of Bassett & Wash- 

 burn, has been ill this week. 



Wm. Fluegge, the Morton Grove car- 

 nation grower, was in town Monday and 

 said that he had just visited E. H. Bla- 

 meuser, at Niles Center, and that the 

 latter 's house of Bose-pink Enchantress 

 is a sight to delight any grower's eye. 

 It is the sport which originated with 

 Mr. Blameuser, not the Detroit one sev- 

 eral are growing. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. will have chrys- 

 anthemums for another week, probably 

 a later date than chrysanthemums ever 

 before have been offered in this market. 



Be it recorded that Frank Williams 

 paid 20 cents each for Maids January 5. 

 Twelve were enough. 



Tim Waters has left the Central Floral 

 Co. to become general utility man for 

 Vaughan & Sperry, who have in him a 

 man capable of turning his hand to any 

 'iotail of the flower business. Mr. Waters 

 had years of experience in the wholesale 

 business at Boston and is up to date in 

 the retail business. He will spend a 

 portion of his time on the road. 



C. W. McKellar has been showing a 

 nice lot of Calanthe Veitchii and says 

 the leading stores are using it with 

 splendid effect in dinner-table decora- 

 tions. 



Joe Beaver is no longer with Lubliner 

 & Trinz. 



Matt Evert is preparing to go quite 

 largely into rooted cuttings for spring, 



carnations and especially chrysanthe- 

 mums. 



W. N. Rudd is growing practically 

 none of the standard varieties of carna- 

 tions and his stock as seen at Winter- 

 Bon's is superb. He has a light pink 

 seedling that will likely be put on the 

 market and also a white that will be 

 lieard from in due course. 



It appears that Chicago's delegation 

 to the Carnation Society 's convention will 

 be of pretty good size. Among those 

 who will go will be August Poehlmann, 

 P. J. Hauswirth, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard 

 Kill, L. Coatsworth, W. N. Rudd, rep- 

 resentatives of the Joliet companies, and 

 others. 



The Flower Growers' Co. held its an- 

 nual meeting January 3. Officers were 

 reelected as follows: President, Emil 

 Buettner; vice-president, Walter Ten- 

 ner; treasurer, F. R. Hills; secretary, 

 Alex. Henderson ; manager, Percy Jones. 

 The utmost satisfaction was expressed 

 with the business of last year. 



E. C. Amling's place is being repaint- 

 ed throughout. Mr. Amling says the 

 business of 1906 not only was his best 

 record but ahead of his most sanguine 

 expectations. He sees no reason why 

 1907 should not show continued prog- 

 ress, but says he will have no word of 

 fault to find if it is only as good as 

 1906. 



One of the week's visitors was Wil- 

 frid Wheeler, of Concord, Mass. 



Bert Budlong says it is noteworthy 

 the general high quality of roses in view 

 of the almost total absence of sun for 

 two months. He says the J. A. Budlong 

 crop missed Christmas by about two 

 weeks and is now heavy. The quality is 



fine. Phil Schupp, manager of the store, 

 reports prices last week averaging about 

 a cent above those of the same week last 

 year, and that, with the heavy crop, 

 speaks well for the general state of 

 trade. 



C. M. Dickinson, at E. H. Hunt's, 

 where they handle large quantities of 

 insecticides, especially To-bak-ine prod- 

 ucts, says it is noticeable that practically 

 all growers are now using the liquid 

 form of nicotine to the practical exclu- 

 sion of all other fumigants. 



The new pink rose, Jo'e Hill, as seen 

 at the establishment of Wietor Bros., 

 is a fine thing. They will plant it in 

 much larger quantity next season. 



The George Wittbold Co. reports a 

 splendid sale on small ferns for fern 

 dishes. They had an enormous stock at 

 the opening of the season, but are now 

 well cleaned out, long before the demand 

 will cease. 



The A. L. Randall Co. reports the 

 December business most satisfactory and 

 January starting off ahead of last year. 

 This is for cut flowers. The supply de- 

 partment is not yet old enough to afford 

 any comparisons, the stock being only 

 now complete. 



Darby, a well-known character in the 

 market, is in the county hospital as a 

 result of a street car accident. He was 

 badly hurt. 



A big rose garden is to be planted at 

 Humboldt Park. 



Thomas McAllister is now with the 

 Fleischman Floral Co., at the North 

 State street store. 



H. N. Bruns has 795 cases of valley 

 pips in cold storage, so it does not look 

 as though there would be any scarcity
