send Kennicott Bros. Co. a fine late lot 

 of Nonin and AVbite and Yellow Chad- 

 wick.

 given over to the women winding green, 



Bassett & Washburn were still cutting 

 fine Jeanne Nonin December 7, but were 

 about at the end of the crop. 



W. E. Lynch, who has charge of the 

 cut flower department at E. H. Hunt's, 

 has been suffering with a severe cold 

 and has been at home a day or two this 

 week. The Glencoe violets at Hunt's are 

 selling much better than the eastern 

 stock. 



Percy Jones says it is time to sound 

 the customary note of warnijig against 

 saving vip white flowers for the holiday. 



The greenhouse material men all say 

 business is on the increase and pospects 

 good for next year. 



Jensen & Dekema say the orders for 

 stock of their new white carnation are 

 (?oming in at a most gratifying rate, 

 while the prospects are for a better sea- 

 son than the last one on the cuttings of 

 standard varieties. And last year was 

 the best they ever had, in spite of the 

 general depression. 



A son of J. A. Peterson came up from 

 Cincinnati last week with a lot of plants, 

 but found the Palmer House so crowded 

 he could not get his usual sample room,

 ling's and did a good trade. 



M. G. Holding, who is known and liked 

 by all buyers of greenhouse glass, has 

 filed a claim against the city for some 

 $19,000 fees collected while serving as 

 city oil inspector a few years ago. 



Arrangements have been made by Hel- 

 ler Bros., of the South Park Floral Co., 

 and E. C. Amling for the latter to han- 

 dle the entire cut of the New Castle 

 plant. The range of about 250,000 feet 

 of glass is in Beauties, tea roses and a 

 few carnations. 



A fine lot of long-stemmed White Kil- 

 larney was on exhibition last week at 

 the store of the A. L. Randall Co., the 

 local agents for the Waban Rose Con- 

 servatories, Natick, Mass., with whom 

 this sport originated. 



A completely enclosed oflBce is a newly

 berg's new city store. It permits the 

 oflSce force to be comfortable while the 

 salesroom is kept cool. 



Charles Cassier, of May wood, is build- 

 ing two houses, 25x100. He is another 

 of several graduates of the Albert Am- 

 ling establishment who have gone into 

 business for themselves. 



The E. Wienhoeber Co. had decora- 

 tions for four coming-out parties Decem- 

 ber 5. Saturday seems to be the favorite 

 day for these affairs this year. 



Kroeschell Bros. Co. reports that the 

 merit of its hot-water boiler is being 

 recognized in other directions than in the 

 greenhouse trade. Only recently it has 

 placed several of these boilers for heat- 

 ing stores, hotels and oflSce buildings. 

 One of the recent orders was for an oflSce 

 building in Vancouver, B. C, this being 

 the third order from that city for this 

 boiler for heating large buildings. 



A. L. Randall says he does not look for 

 so many violets to reach this market as 

 at Christmas last year, the crop being 

 lighter now than a year ago.
