be given entirely to roses and for next 

 season a number of new sorts will be 

 tried. The Brides and Maids now be- 

 ing cut from grafted stock are espec- 

 ially good and the crop is fair and 

 steady. 



The Poehlmann Bros. Co. reports hav- 

 ing received a good sized order fq;r long 

 Beauties and fancy Bicbmond roses from 

 New York city one day this week. 



George Beinberg is cutting a large crop 

 of short Beauties, something that has 

 been scarce in this market for several 

 months. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. reports a 

 good crop of Killarney on at the New 

 Castle plant, but a light crop of Maids 

 and Brides. 



C. W. McKellar says that his advices 

 are that the heavy crop of cattleyas 

 has passed off, along with the big crop 

 fif Beauties, and he looks for some 

 ■skirmishing to get sufficient orchids as 

 ■oon as the social season opens again. 



The H. M. Hooker Co. is now installed 



in its new location at 120 to 128 West 

 Washington street, where its facilities 

 are greatly increased. The firm has 

 been selling glass to greenhouse builders 

 since 1855. 



C. S. Stewart is no longer with the 

 E. P. Winterson Co. 



Zech & Mann have made arrangements 

 for carrying a stock of three grades of 

 rubber hose. 



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

 the supply of sweet peas is increasing 

 rapidly. The demand for the long stock 

 is excellent. 



Wietor Bros, have provided for their 

 season's requirements by potting up many 

 thousands of the early carnation cuttings. 

 They agree with Prof. Galloway that in- 

 door culture in summer is the ideal way 

 to grow carnations. 



George Asmus had his grip packed to 

 start for the carnation convention, when 

 he was taken sick and spent the days 

 in bed instead of at Washington. He 

 says business is good at the Schiller es- 



tablishment, running ahead of last year 

 in January, 



Vaughan & Sperry say that the qual- 

 ity of the Rhinebeck violets has shown 

 fnuch improvement in the last week or 

 so and that the Bhinebeck growers re- 

 port a large pick in prospect for Valen- 

 tine 's day. 



J. D. Thompson was in from Joliet 

 February 4. He says retail business is 

 good there, his January sales having 

 exceeded those of December. 



The Floradora valentine, which was 

 designed by Miss Anna Grace Sawyer, 

 manager of the Pansy Garden Flower 

 Shop, and was regarded as a successful 

 novelty last year, has been placed on sale 

 again this season, at the store of John 

 Mangel. Being ingenious in design and 

 artistic in execution, this valentine ought 

 to be popular. 



Prank Garland, at Des Plaines, is 

 limping with rheumatism and has been 

 in town but once since Christmas. 



H. N. Bruns says retail trade is fair,
