town to see the auto show at the Coli- 

 seum. 



Wm. Pfund recently sold his green- 

 houses at Oak Park to John Wayranch 

 and Karl Schmidt, who are doing busi- 

 ness as the Washington Boulevard Floral 

 Co. The place contains about 5,000 feet 

 of glass. Mr. Pfund plans to start in the 

 nursery and landscape business. 



Axel Aggerholm, formerly manager of 

 the Mosbaek Greenhouse Co., at Onarga, 

 111., is now with Swain Nelson & Sons 

 Co., the nurserymen at Glenview, 



The George Wittbold Co. put up a 

 decoration at about $2,000 for the auto- 

 mobile show that is on at the Coliseum 

 this week. The E. F. Winterson Co. 

 made up a lot of special laurel wreath- 

 ing for it. About 5,000 feet of window- 

 boxes, almost a mile, were used. 



The John Davis Co. says that in any 

 representations made to the legislature 

 as to tlie importance of the greenhouse 

 industry of the state, emphasis should be 

 laid on tin value of the florists' patron- 

 age to other representative lines. For 

 instance, the John Davis Co. estimates 

 that in Chicago last year jobbers sold 

 probably $500,000 worth of pipe and fit- 

 tings that are now doing duty in green- 

 house heating. 



O. P. Bassett has postponed his trip 

 south, in order to attend the automobile 

 show this week. He now has only four 

 automobiles, and feels some need of a 

 new one. 



Peter Haerens, who has for several 

 years been counted one of the best grow- 

 ers on Peter Reinberg'a staff, has, with 

 a partner named Steinmetz, bought the 

 Henry Phillip greenhouses in Rogers 

 Park. The place is now under lease to a 

 lettuce grower and possession is not to be 



or NATIONAL IMPORTANCE

given until August 1. The first season } 

 carnations are to be grown, but as rapidly 

 as possible the place will be turned into 

 roses. Mr. Haerens made his fifst suc- 

 cess as a rose grower with Richmond the 

 year that it came out. 



The A. L. Randall Co. reports a re- 

 markable sale for the heart-shaped, red * 

 Valentine boxes. ^lore orders have been 

 received than could be filled, for the 

 factory only makes these up to order. 

 This is a point worth remembering, so 

 that next season the retailers can buy 

 early and get all that they want. 



John Kruchten says that his father, 

 Nick Kruchten, is having better results 

 with carnations this season than at any 

 time in the last three or four years. 



C. W. McKellar is again in the plant 

 business, having some nice cyclamens. 



Vaughan & Sperry reported February 

 8 that they already had booked more 

 orders for violets for Valentine's use 

 than they ever had for any one holiday 



before. And last Valentine "s day was the 

 best previous record. 



X. ,f. Wietor spends the pleasant after- 

 noons showing the north side owners of 

 fast horses what it really is to have a 

 thoroughbred. Mr. Wietor 's carriage 

 mare has a pacing record of 2:05, and 

 is the fastest road horse on the north 

 side. No automobile for him. 



Peter Reinberg was out in the green- 

 houses last week within an hour of his 

 return from the hospital, and as a result 

 of overexertion has spent some of the 

 following days in bed. He is getting 

 along nicely, but is not yet strong. 



E. E. Pieser says that average prices 

 are now almost as good as a year ago. 

 He says he thinks the difference at one 

 time was as much as thirty per cent 

 below last year, but that there has been 

 a steady advance in average prices since 

 about January 18. 



Weiland & Risch now light their store 

 with four sixty candle-power Tungsten
