shipped 30,000 violets to Grand Rapids, 

 February 3. It was Hudson river stock. 

 Doesn 't shipping violets to Grand Rapids 

 seem like carrying coals to Newcastle f 



The E. F. "Winterson Co, is busily en- 

 gaged this week in taking its annual 

 inventory. 



At a large reception, January 31, the 

 engagement of Harry Lubliner and Miss 

 Bernice Harmon was announced. 



Weiland & Risch will discard Brides- 

 maid next season. They now have two 

 houses of it, but next year Killarney will 

 be the only pink rose grown. They are, 

 of course, planting "White Killarney. 



George Reinberg is beginning to cut 

 cattleyas a little more abundantly. The 

 stock is fine, but the production has not 

 been large thus far. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. had poinsettias 

 February 1 and during the last week in 

 January received quite a few good 

 chrysanthemums. There is no such thing 

 as seasons in the flower business any 

 more. 



C. W. McKellar says the retailers are 

 using Oncidium tigrinum quite freely 

 for their good table work. 



The Poehlmann Bros. Co. is glad to see 



good weather again. Last week's storm 

 interrupted the glazing now in progress 

 on the new houses. It is the intention 

 to have the addition at Plant B completed 

 and planted with roses by May 1. It 

 will be July 1 before the addition of 

 Plant A is completed. 



One of John Mangel's show windows 

 was broken January 31 and some stock 

 was lost. 



The second floor of the building at 76 

 and 78 Wabash avenue, occupied by E. 

 H. Hunt and Bassett & Washburn, has 

 been remodeled by the removal of a 

 stairway, which gives a needed increase 

 in the hall space, sometimes used for 

 the storage of empties. These two firms 

 have just concluded the renewal of their 

 leases and, of course, had to stand for 

 the usual advance in rents. 



S. A. Wolcott, of the Bellevue Place 

 Co., at Batavia, has gone to Florida to 

 spend the balance of the winter. 



Sunday afternoon, January 31, there 

 were large doings on the bov?ling alleys 

 at Clark street and Bryn Mawr avenue. 

 Sam Pearce, George and Fred Stollery, 

 John Zech, AUie Zech, W. Graft, August 

 Dressel and one or two other employes 



of Sam Pearce, bowled against an aggre- 

 gation of ten Holland bulb salesmen, 

 who were on a scouting expedition in 

 search of the orders usually to be found 

 in that locality. The Hollanders got 

 the worst of it as far as the bowling 

 goes. 



C. H. Fisk now has the toniest trans- 

 portation facilities on the west side. He 

 has just bought a new high power auto- 

 mobile, so constructed that it can be 

 used either as a touring car or as a 

 delivery van, by simply changing the 

 top. 



John Muno paid a visit to his old 

 haunts in the flower market February 1. 

 He has grown only lettuce and radishes 

 the last two seasons and says that even 

 with last year's low prices for lettuce he 

 came out as well as he had been doing 

 with carnations. Last season lettuce 

 brought 15 cents to 17 ^^ cents per 

 case most of the time, while this year 

 it has ranged from 30 cents to 45 cents. 

 Mr. Muno says most of the lettuce grow-
