QUAILTY 



has improved under the influence of a few days of real winter weather. Stock now 

 leaves httle to be desired, except that larger cuts would be welcome. While we have the 

 finest Roses, Beatifies, Carnations, etc., the market affords, we also have enough 

 short and medium grades for those who want them. 



No order too large for us to handle and none too small to receive careful attention. 

 We have an eye to the future. Write, Wire or Piione— Today.

Carnation Show. 



Secretary Schupp, of the Florists' 

 Club, is sending out notices to the local 

 people to prepare for the Florists' Club 

 carnation exhibition February 14. He 

 also is writing the originators of novel- 

 ties, etc., requesting exhibits. It is ex- 

 pected a large attendance will be on 

 hand that night, for much interest is 

 taken in the new carnations and in see- 

 ing what the local growers can show well 

 done. 



Anyone having good stock is invited to 

 show a few flowers. If he cannot bring 

 them personally, they may be shipped 

 in care of E. F. Winterson, 45 Wabash 

 avenue, who has charge of the arrange- 

 ments for staging the exhibits. 



VarioiM Notes. 



At the old John Brod place, at Niles 

 Center, now owned by Albert Lies, D. J. 

 Murphy is turning out some splendid 

 roses. These are the narrow, short-span 

 houses which have not been considered 

 as specially good for rose culture. It 

 is only another evidence that it is not 

 so much the powder as the man behind 

 the gun. 



N. C. Moore & Co. have in contempla- 

 tion plans looking to the rebuilding of 

 their older range of houses in the 

 spring. 



It is reported from Moline that Henry 

 Klehm, of Arlington Heights, is think- 

 ing of opening a retail store in a va- 

 cant room next the opera house there. 



To shoAV the importance of Valentine's 

 day, A. L. Bandall states that last year 

 his firm sold 160,000 violets that day. 

 Prices were weak a year ago, but he 



says he expects to handle a larger num- 

 ber of violets this year than last. 



Emil Buettner says he never has seen 

 anything like the way white lilac has 

 been called for this year. His first 

 batch was cleaned out much sooner than 

 expected and brought excellent prices. 



Bassett & Washburn made a splendid 

 showing with their seedling No. 20 at 

 the carnation convention last week, win- 

 ning the S. A. F. bronze medal in the 

 face of the closest competition ever 

 known in this class. There were fifteen 

 entries. No. 20 is a seedling of Pros- 

 perity and Crane which they have been 

 growing since 1902. They now have 

 1,200 plants. They contemplate send- 

 ing the variety out in 1908. 



Peter Keinberg has been forcing val- 

 ley only a few weeks, but few old hands 

 at it can produce better stock than he 

 has this week. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. moved 

 into its new store on the second floor 

 of the Atlas block the first days of this 

 week. As soon as they can get things 

 painted they will be finely located. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. is taking in- 

 ventory this week preparatory to mak- 

 ing a number of changes in the method 

 of handling the business. They will 

 separate the several departments. E. F. 

 Winterson will give his personal atten- 

 tion to the cut flowers. L. H. Winter- 

 son will manage the supply department 

 and John Degnan have charge of the of- 

 fice. 



One of the week's visitors was Mr. 

 Miller, foreman for E. H. E. Green, 

 Dallas, Tex., where they are doing tall 

 stunts in the building line. 



At J. A. Budlong's, Nelson Fisher is 



considered the best dark pink carnation 

 and Boston Market the best white. This 

 year they will try Winsor and Aristocrat 

 as rival pinks and White Perfection for 

 fancy white. 



E. H. Hunt is receiving some Marie 

 Louise violets grown in Michigan which 

 bring better prices than the finest of 

 Hudson river stock. They have not only 

 size and color but fragrance. 



Sinner Bros, have invested in practi- 

 cally all the new varieties of carnations 

 for trial next season. 



O. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett leave 

 next Monday for New York and Febru- 

 ary 7 will sail on the Arabic for Egypt 

 and the Nile. Eeturning they will spend 

 some weeks in Europe, reaching Chi- 

 cago about June 1. 



Vaughan & Sperry say they have en- 

 joyed an excellent fortnight's business, 

 showing a splendid increase as compared 

 with a year ago. 



The appointment of Charles L. Hutch- 

 inson to membership in the South parks 

 board of commissioners secures to the 

 public the services of a keen business 

 man whose interest in horticulture is 

 well known. 



Peter Keinberg and Matt Evert are 

 busy booming Harrison for mayor. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



Business last week was considered 

 good. The only trouble was the short- 

 age of roses. During the week a num- 

 ber of swell weddings, dinners and other 

 entertainments used up considerable 

 stock. Funeral work, too, had a big
