The Weekly Flotists* Review. 



January 21, 1909. 



JOLIET, ILL. 



Business Good. 



No one here has any ' ' kick ' ' on busi- 

 ness. The carnation growers say the 

 demand for cut blooms has been so good 

 that they have been pushed to find the 

 stock to fill orders, and the condition of 

 their places verifies it, for stock is being 

 cut tight. Crops have been only mod- 

 erate, because of little sun in January, 

 but there are plenty of buds and the 

 promise of a good cut right along if 

 someone will only "push dem clouds 

 away," as the minstrel sings it. Ship- 

 ments of rooted cuttings are going out 

 heavily. 



At the retail end, business is just what 

 it ordinarily is at this season — an occa- 

 sional decoration, but more funeral work 

 and the usual dribble of counter sales. 



Various Notes. 



A. C. Eott has been having his own 

 troubles since the cold weather arrived 

 January 7. One of his windows con- 

 tains a gold-fish pond and the other is 

 fitted up for stock. Both windows froze 

 up tight; even the pipes to the water 

 window burst and he had to take a 

 hatchet to rescue the gold-fish. Mr. Rott 

 is looking forward to the day when he 

 can get a new store-front put in, with 

 one large, straight window instead of 

 two semicircular ones 



The J. D. Thompson Carnation Co. 

 states that its business this year, in both 

 blooms and cuttings, is running well 

 ahead of last season and Chas. M. Fish, 

 the manager, says he is anxious for the 

 day to come when they can put up some 

 more houses. One morning recently he 

 arrived at the plant to find that a 

 bursted heating pipe in the office had 

 taken off about all the varnish on the 

 woodwork and furniture. There was no 

 other damilge. 



A. T. Pyfer and P. Olsem will go to 

 the Carnation Society 's convention at 

 Indianapolis in the special car from Chi-' 

 cago. The Chicago Carnation Co. will 

 make about its usual showing in the ex- 

 hibition. The new variety, on the Pros- 

 perity order but with much more color. 

 Will be shown for about the first time. 



The famous herd on the Higinbotham 

 estate is to be sold off at auction this 

 week. 



The replevin case by which J. D. 

 Thompson lost possession of the horse 

 on which he twice paid $82 express 

 charges is set for hearing January 22. 



Northampton, Mass. — The plant 

 houses of H. W. Field were visited re- 

 cently by the nineteen students of the 

 floricultural course at Amherst, under the 

 guidance of Prof. E. A. White.
