much better than making expenses on 

 the lettuce. He burned fifteen to six- 

 teen cars of csal while growing carna- 

 tions and last year used only eight cars 

 for his lettuce. 



Among last week's visitors were 

 Joseph Heacock, his son, James W. Hea- 

 cock, and their foreman, Robert Jami- 

 son, of Wyncote, Pa., who visited the 

 greenhouses of Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 Bassett & Washburn, Thompson Carna- 

 tion Co. and Chicago Carnation Co. 



O. P. Bassett, who has been in poor 

 health since an attack of the grip a few 

 weeks ago, is preparing for a trip to the 

 golf grounds at Pinehurst, N. C. 



Emil Buettner has become a life mem- 

 ber of the S. A. F. 



The A. L. Randall Co. says the first 

 white lilac of the season was snapped 

 up just as eagerly as ever. 



The J, B;- Deamud Co. has a splendid 

 room under the sidewalk for the storage 

 o%-j«ffflations. It's the fresh, outdoor 

 air that does it. 



Word comes from Seattle that Sam 

 Graff likes the town so well and finds 

 business so good that he is preparing to 

 open a second store, to be one of the 

 finest in the northwest. 



The George M. Garland Co., Des 

 Plaines, states thkt on February 1, 1909, 

 it had booked orders for as many feet of 

 iron gutter as were sold in the whole 

 year of 1908. That certainly looks like 

 business. 



The George Wittbold Co. reports that 

 both December and January gave them 

 a larger total of sales than ever has been 

 reached in those months in preceding 

 years. 



The J. A. Budlong estate will plant 

 5,000 My Maryland and 1,000 White 

 Killarney for next season. 



Among the callers this week were B. 

 Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., and Martin 

 Eeukauf, with H. Bayersdorfer & Co., 

 of Philadelphia.

the market stands than usual. The com- 

 mission houses also have had a quite 

 active demand. The weather is more 

 wintry than we have previously had this 

 season, with cloudy days predominating. 

 Eoses are not too plentiful and are sell- 

 ing quite well. Killarney and Bichmond 

 are of exceptional excellence. Bride is 

 of good quality. Its purity and the fact 

 that it does not blow open so quickly as 

 Killarney is inducing some growers to 

 hold on to it. Beauties are good, and a 

 few nice Chatenay are coming in. Car- 

 nations are cleaning up better; whites 

 for funeral work are in good request. 

 Prices remain about the same, $4 for 

 fancies being top price.

 Sweet peas constantly improve in quality. 

 The better grades are quickly snapped up. 

 Cypripediums are less plentiful, but 

 Cattleya TrianaB is still fairly plentiful
