the temperature get above 53 degrees, 

 and the lowest was 7 below, indicating 

 how steadily cold it was. There was 

 forty-five per cent of the possible sun- 

 shine, which was high considering the 

 fact that there were only seven clear 

 days and eighteen upon which snow fell. 

 The total snowfall for the month was 

 19.1 inches. To add to the growers' 

 troubles, the wind movement was 12,278 

 miles, making an average hourly velocity 

 <if sixteen miles, which helped the cold 

 weather to eat into the coal pile. 



VaitoiaNetM. 



Just before Christmas the three stores 

 operated by the Butler Floral Co., or E. 

 •Tahn. were rlosed on an execution under 



a judgment for some $400 in favor of 

 W. L. Palinsky for plants bought last 

 Easter. On payment of $150 in cash, 

 Mr. Palinsky 's attorneys released the 

 Sheridan road store and the temporary 

 Christmas store on the west side of Dear- 

 bom street, just below Van Buren, but 

 they held the fixtures of the main store, 

 carting them to storage. Mr. Jahn is 

 now operating the temporary store across 

 the street from his former main one, as 

 the Old Colony Floral Co., R. Jahn man- 

 ager. The Sheridan road store is going 

 on as heretofore. 



When Andrew McAdams visited a num- 

 ber of the wholesale houses last week he 

 said he was planning a California trip, 

 but he neglected to state that he would 



be taking a bride with him. On New 

 Year's eve Mr. McAdams and Bhoda 

 Robertson were married at the family 

 home at Fifty-third street and Kimbark 

 avenue. Mr. McAdams is 60 years of 

 age and his bride, who was his sister-in- 

 law, is 52. Her former home was in 

 Florida, but for the last two or three 

 years she has been a member of the 

 McAdams household. Mr. McAdams is 

 an ex-president of the Chicago Florists' 

 Club and one of the best liked men in 

 the trade in Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Mc- 

 Adams left immediately for California, 

 but congratulations will be in order on 

 their return. 



After an experience of two months in 

 the wholesale business, as manager of 

 the Percy Jones commission establish- 

 ment, George Walther has concluded that 

 his best interests lie in giving his per- 

 sonal attention to his retail store on 

 Sixty-third street. Henry Van Gelder, 

 who was with Percy Jones for several 

 years prior to that gentleman's death, 

 will in future have charge, the change 

 taking place January 1.
