Mention The Review when jou write. 



favorably with those of a year ago were 

 it not for the larger supply of stock. 



C. W. McKellar reports that he has 

 made a number of shipments of garde- 

 nias to San Francisco, and that his cus- 

 tomer writes that they reached there in 

 condition to be handled profitably. 



Weiland & Risch say that they have 

 discovered, in figuring on their new 

 range of houses, that while glass is cheap, 

 the man who makes the pipe is still hold- 

 ing out for the old figure. 



(i. H. Pieser, president of the Kenni- 

 cott Bros. Co., is at West Baden. Max 

 Ringier, salesman for the firm, has been 

 at home for .a week, threatened with 

 pneumonia. 



At Peter Reinberg's city store it is 

 stated that every month this season has 

 shown an increase as compared with 

 last season up to March 1, but that there 

 has been a falling off in the last ten 

 days. March naturally will not com- 

 pare with a year ago for any one, be- 

 cause Easter came in March last year, 

 if for no other reason. 



Bassett & Washburn say that the 

 spring crop of Beauties is on and that 

 there will be no scarcity before Easter. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that violets are 

 doing much better than last week, singles 

 being not so abundant, and the call be- 

 ing met by Marie Louise from Rhine- 



beck. The violet has become an impor- 

 tant item with the commission houses 

 this season because of the increased ship- 

 ments of eastern stock. 



At E. H. Hunt's they say it is an in- 

 dication of the hard us^ge a greenhouse 

 owner gives rubber hose that the Re- 

 vero has caught on as it has; the best 

 hose lasts such a short time that all the 

 growers are glad to try a new brand. 



Scheiden & Schoos are busy propagat- 

 ing their Lawson seedling to work up 

 a big stock for next year. It is not yet 

 named. 



Zech & Mann say this week started 

 with a run of good shipping orders. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. is working 

 at full pressure, and overtime, to get 

 things in shape for the rush of seed and 

 plant business that will come with a few 

 warm days. 



Philip Schupp, of Budlong's, reports 

 carnations cleaning up satisfactorily, if 

 at cheap prices, and says that he has 

 no concern as to roses. 



Jensen & Dekema say that the business 

 in rooted cuttings of carnations is this 

 year much ahead of any previous season 

 with them. Not counting the sales of 

 Defiance, which are taking up all the 

 stock they can propagate as fast as they 

 get it ready, the sales on other varieties 

 by February 1 equaled the business done 

 in the entire season last year. Mr. Jen- 

 sen says the three varieties most called 

 for are White Enchantress, Winsor and 

 Beacon. Arrangements have been made 

 for the dissemination of W. N. Rudd's 

 white seedling next year, stock being al- 

 ready on the place. 



As indicating the size of the carnation 

 crops, it is worthy of special note that 

 in one day the Poehlmann Bros. Co. cut 

 26,500 carnations. 



John T. Withers, of New York, gave 

 his illustrated lecture on "The Value of 

 the Tree and Its Care" at the Chicago 

 Academy of Sciences at Lincoln park
