carnation because of its color and its 

 keeping quality. It is nearest true pink 

 of any carnation in the market. 



Albert Lies is sending Zech & Mann 

 an extra fine cut of roses. 



J. J. Kruchten says business in box- 

 wood is steadily increasing. 



A visitor last week was C. De Weaver, 

 of St. Louis. 



Frank Johnson, of the A. L. Bandall 

 Co., has been ill with the grippe for a 

 few days. 



Each season Vaughan & Sperry sell 

 quite a number of rose and carnation 

 cuttings for their growers. They say 

 that with plants, as with cut flowers, 

 there is a good market for the new and 

 up-to-date varieties, but no one wants 

 Flora Hill, Portia and the other super- 

 annuated sorts. 



The George Wittbold Co. has been con- 

 signing considerable quantities of cut 

 orchids to the wholesalers during Jan- 

 uary. 



Weiland & Risch have in mind another 

 lunge of rose houses for spring, but have 

 not yet fully determined the matter. 



Clifford Pruner, who has been ill al- 

 nost continuously since the flower show 

 in November, is again feeling like him- 

 self and traveling for E. H. Hunt. 



At E. C. Amling's it is reported that 

 fancy sweet peas take as well as any- 

 thing in season. The long-stemmed flow- 

 el's are mostly spoken for in advance, 

 while the short stuff goes slowly. 



N. J. Wietor is planning to make his 

 usual trip around the circle in February. 

 He gets out once a year to see how the 

 trade in Indiana and Ohio is progressing. 



C. N. Thomas, of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., says that white lilac is in such good 



demand that the daily supply is nearly 

 always all ordered in advance. So far as 

 reported, Emil Buettner has this spe- 

 cialty all to himself again this year. 



Word comes from the east of a white 

 sport of Killarney that looks to be the

ogiSTS* 



During the period that I have been 

 taking it I have found something in 

 each issue of interest to myself and 

 beneficial to my business. I always 

 find a vast quantity of valuable in- 

 formation in yotir list of questions and 

 answers. I am in the flower and 

 vegetable business, devoting nearly all 

 my time and labor to the greenhouse 

 and hotbed feattire.

real thing. It is said that the Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co. got next to a big block 

 of it when the brothers, August and 

 Adolph, were east last summer. 



It is reported that the E. F. Winter- 

 son Co. has made and is making arrange- 



ments for a big stock of roses, shrubs 

 and other plants for spring, and that it 

 is planned to make so big a show in 

 Wabash avenue that everybody will rec- 

 ognize the horticultural emporium when 

 a block away. 



A number of eastern carnation grow- 

 ers have made the rounds of the Chicago 

 district in the last couple of weeks and 

 several have said that the carnations at 

 J. A. Budlong's looked as good as any- 

 thing they saw. 



Leonard Kill says that Peter Reinberg 

 is doing exceptionally well on Beauties 

 this season, in spite of the low prices. 

 Another section of Beauties is just now 

 coming into heavy crop. 



J. P. Foley has recovered from an at- 

 tack of the grippe. 



The Chicago party at the carnation 

 convention at Washington this week con- 

 sisted of August Poehlmann, W. N. 

 Rudd, J. E. Jensen, J. S. Wilson, A. T. 

 Pyfer, P. Olsem, F. Lautenschlager and 

 H. B. Howard. Nick Zweifel, Milwau- 

 kee, was with the main Chicago party 

 going. With his usual carnation conven- 

 tion luck, Mr. Rudd's shipment failed to 

 make the expected train and was twenty- 

 four hours late. 



E. C. Amling and party, who, as re- 

 ported last week, had departed for south- 

 ern California, arrived safely at Orange, 

 Cal., early in the morning of January 24. 



E. Wienhoeber has been ill with the 

 grippe for the last week or two, but 

 is now recovering. 



We look for the Review from week 

 to week and do not like to miss a single 

 issue of your valuable paper. — S. E. &
