Mention The Review when yon write. 



SO that little space is occupied, but the 

 fact that only one flower per bulb is pro- 

 duced makes it questionable if they are 

 more profitable than the best double- 

 nosed Holland bulbs, which can be had 

 at about the same cost, laid down in 

 Chicago. ' * Big Pete ' ' Sroczyiski, on 

 Harding avenue, also took 25,000 nar- 

 cissi from the same lot as the Stollery's, 

 but has not done well with them. His 

 soil is heavy; the Stollery's light. Also, 

 he has grown them warmer than did 

 StoUery Bros., and a large proportion 

 came blind. 



Various Notes. 



It is reported that H. F. Halle, who 

 long has contemplated opening a store 

 on the north side, would like to start in 

 the building on North Halsted street re- 

 cently erected by Albert Fuchs, in which 

 there is a fine corner store; and Mr. 

 Fuchs would like to have Mr. Halle for 

 a tenant. The hitch comes in that when 

 Mr. Fuchs leased his old stand to Henry 

 Koropp for fifty years a clause was in- 

 serted that no other store on the prop- 

 erty was to be let for florists' purposes. 

 Mr. Koropp says he will stand for his 

 rights. 



Joseph P. Brooks, who has the George 

 Harrer place at Morton Grove, has a fine 

 white sport of Enchantress. He grows 

 The Queen, Lawson, Nelson Fisher, Cru- 

 sader and Enchantress. The stock is in 

 fine shape and there is a heavy crop 

 nearly ready. 



Joseph Foerster, of George Eeinberg's, 

 repojjts having taken a single order for 

 10,000 unrooted cuttings of the standard 

 varieties of carnations. 



H. Wehrman, at Maywood, is perpar- 



ing to build three new houses, each 

 26x150, and modernize two old ones. He 

 will replace his hot water system with 

 steam. He grows carnations, shipping 

 to E. C. Amling. 



February 1 J. H. Grohosky will open 

 a retail store at 1319 Sheridan road, 

 Irving Park. He will do business as the 

 North Shore Flower Shop and will have 

 the backing of his father's greenhouses 

 at 1334 Wolfram street. 



The Horticultural Society will make 

 another attempt, January 30, to elect 

 officers. It is stated that President E. G. 

 Uihlein is willing to accept reelection, 

 but that W. N. Eudd feels he has earned 

 a rest as secretary and treasurer. 



Bassett & Washburn report a great 

 run on rooted cuttings of the white car- 

 nation. The Queen, but note that prac- 

 tically every order is from the east. 

 They have sold all the cuttings of this 

 sort they can root in the next six weeks. 



Adam Zender says both rose and car- 

 nation crops are away below what they 

 should be and that the health of the 

 plants is so weakened by the bad weather 

 that he sees little prospect of a profit 

 this year. He is cutting 3,000 a week 

 fewer roses than a year ago. Fortu- 

 nately, he does not specially "need the 

 money. ' ' 



Mike Fink, at Twenty-second and Cot- 

 tage Grove avenue, has given up the idea 

 of selling out. His father wants to take 

 him into the growing end but Mr. Fink 

 says he cannot get a fair price for his 

 business because would-be buyers ore 

 afraid of the high rents in that neigh- 

 borhood. Nevertheless, he is having a 

 good trade and making money steadily. 



N. J. Wietor says that his firm will 



this year confine its investment in new 

 carnations to 1,000 each of Aristocrat 

 and Winsor. 



C. W. McKellar has added cyclamen 

 plants to his repertoire, one of his grow- 

 ers having a fine lot to dispose of. 



A. Elberfield and his wife, of Kansas 

 City, were in town last week on their 

 wedding trip. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. expects to begin 

 moving the latter end of this week to the 

 new store at 48 Wabash. The improve- 

 ments in the building, made for their 

 benefit, are nearly completed. 



Wietor Bros, say they find To-bak-ine 

 the best nicotine extract for spraying 

 purposes. 



Prof. A. C. Beal was up from Urbana 

 last week to push along the work for an 

 appropriation for experiment greenhouses 

 at the state agricultural college. The 

 matter will be before the legislature in 

 March. 



J. P. Foley is doing a fortnight's 

 term of jury service, his first experience 

 in that line. 



Henry Payne, at Hinsdale, has put up 

 a new propagating house and is rooting 

 carnations, and mums later, on a libersd 

 scale. 



E. H. Hunt has opened a new line of 

 Japanese ware and added to the assort- 

 ment of glassware. Orders for Easter 

 are stated to be coming in well. 



The annual carnation show of the Chi- 

 cago Florists* Club will be held Febru- 

 ary 14. Bring your best blooms. 



The A. L. Eandall Co. is receiving 

 some fine white lilac from Emil Buett- 

 ner. 



A. L. Vaughan calls attention to the 

 excellence of the single violets this week.
