 Burprise if he indulges himself to the 

 extent of a few more carnation houses 

 out on "the farm." 



Otto Goerisch, of the A. L. Bandall 

 force, welcomed another daughter into 

 his home Sunday morning. 



Zech & Mann have had an especially 

 good run of shipping this week. 

 . Poehlmann Bros. Co. is planning to ex- 

 hibit strongly at the Indianapolis carna- 

 tion show. Their stock is in better shape 

 this season than for several years past. 



J. E. Jensen says the business in 

 rooted cuttings is good, running mostly 

 to large orders. Practically every order 

 calls for one or more of four varieties: 

 "White Enchantress, White Perfection, 

 Beacon and Victory. Winsor produces so 

 many cuttings that the supply is larger 

 and the demand less than it otherwise 

 would be. 



The fertilizer plant of Darling & Co., 

 at the stock yards, was the biggest of 

 the establishments destroyed in Chicago 's 

 fiery cold night of January 6. The loss 

 is estimated at half a million dollars 

 and is of special interest to the trade 

 because Darling & Co. were the manu- 

 facturers of a large proportion of the 

 fertilizers sold by wholesale florists and 

 used by growers. 



Among the week's visitors were: 

 Harry Philpott, "Winnipeg; L. A. Pletch- 

 er, Rochester, la.; Wm. E. Hand, Argos, 

 Ind. ; "Wm. F. Dreer, Philadelphia; Peter 

 "Weiland, New Castle, Ind.; Charles M. 

 Treanor, South Bend, Ind.; Harry Bock, 

 with Joseph Bock, Burlington, la. ; 

 Charles E. Heite, vice-president of the 

 "W. L. Eock Flower Co., Kansas City, 

 Mo., looking for material for seven new 

 greenhouses, each 27x260.

The Market. 



Business continues fairly satisfactory, 

 with the wholesalers' stock clearing fair- 

 ly well each day. There has been a large

supply of everything except lilies, and 

 these, too, are coming more plentifully 

 again. But stock, as a rule, is not bring- 

 ing very satisfactory prices. 



Among the retailers things are moving 

 along, some days good and others only 

 medium. There have been a number of 



large decorations that helped consider- 

 ably. Society seems to have shown more 

 life lately, and all the larger stores profit- 

 ea thereby, but the smaller dealers and 

 out-of-town people do not seem to have 

 much to brag about. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Florists ' Club met January 7, with 

 quite a crowd present. Two new mem- 

 bers were elected and four new names 

 proposed. It being nomination night, the 

 following were named for office next 

 year: President, Fred Burki; vice-presi- 

 dent, P. S. Bandolph; secretary, H. P. 

 Joslin; assistant secretary, Chas. Crall; 

 treasurer, H. L. Blind; executive com- 

 mittee, E. C. Reineman, John "Weiland 

 and John Bader. 



"While there was a display of primulas 

 by some of the parks and private gar- 

 deners, also of roses, both of which were 

 good, a good deal of the attention was 

 directed to the new roses which were 

 exhibited for the first time. The F. E. 

 Pierson Co., represented by J. R. Fother- 

 ingham, showed "White Killarney. The 

 rose pleased all who saw it and the grow- 

 ers who are acquainted with Killarney 

 were quite enthusiastic over it. The 

 "Waban Conservatories, Natick, Mass., 

 also sent a bunch of "White Killarney, 

 which were grand, stems thirty-six inches 

 long and the buds full three inches long, 

 and when open were the most artistic 

 flowers imaginable. The flower has more 

 petals than Killarney and the inside 

 petals have a way of twisting so that even 

 when fully open the flower does not seem 

 empty in the center. The "Waban flowers 

 did not arrive until the day after the 

 club meeting, but have been on exhibition 

 ever since, along with Pierson 's, at the
