used up quite a lot of decorative stock 

 and cut flowers. This firm reports an 

 extra good New Year's business. 



The Ellison Floral Co. made an at- 

 tractive New Year's decoration at the 

 new Raquet Club, on Kings Highway. 

 This is one of the small west end clubs. 

 Arthur Ellison, who helped out for the 

 holidays, returned to Chicago Janu- 

 ary 4. 



William C. Young, president of the 

 Florists' Club, has been laid up with the 

 grippe since the first of the year. 



Park Commissioner Phil Scanlan has 

 taken a few days' vacation out of the 

 city, which will give him a much needed 

 rest. The park department is busy with 

 the new Yeatman park and French mar- 

 ket place, which are being seeded and 

 planted with trees and shrubs; 22,000 

 bulbs have been planted this fall. Super- 

 intendent Ostertag is looking after the 

 duties of the commissioner this week. 



The funeral of Alfred Plant, the seeds- 

 man, took place December 31, at Web- 

 ster Groves. There was quite an attend- 



ance of local seedsmen and florists. The 

 St. Louis Florists' Club sent a large 

 wreath. 



James W. Dunford is making good 

 progress in his new retail venture, the 

 Gallagher Flower Shop, on Page avenue. 

 He is using up most of his large cut of 

 carnations from his Clayton greenhouses. 



Henry Emmons and Adolph Fehr, at 

 Belleville, had quite a brisk holiday 

 trade. Cut stock, blooming plants, holly 

 and greens sold as well as in any pre- 

 vious year. The St. Clair Floral Co., 

 too, did a rushing Christmas and New 

 Year's business. 



John Mather, of the firm of Jacobs & 

 Mather, florists in Texas, is in the city 

 calling on the trade. Mr. Mather will 

 visit Chicago shortly to buy greenhouse 

 material for a new range of houses. 



C. C. Sanders, chairman of the club's 

 pottery committee, called a meeting of 

 the committee January 2, at Kuehn's. 

 Those who attended were C. C. Sanders, 

 A. J. Bentzen, J. F. Ammann, Emil 

 Schray, E. W. Guy, W. C. Young and 



S. L. Bray. A full report will be heard 

 at the club meeting Thursday afternoon, 

 January 9. J. J. B.

New Year's trade was fair only. The 

 demand was light, but at that it was 

 just about heavy enough to use up most 

 of the flowers which were on the mar- 

 ket. A few poinsettias were somewhat 

 of a drug, but almost every other variety 

 of flower sold out clean. In view of the 

 fine Christmas business that all of us 

 had, we cannot very well kick because 

 New Year's was not all that it might 

 have been. 



At the present writing things are mov- 

 ing very slowly, with the demand scarce- 

 ly equal to the supply. In fact, roses 

 are in oversupply to a certain extent, es- 

 pecially white ones. Carnations are just 

 about cleaned out and the demand for 

 other kinds of stock is indifferent. Vio-
