MeptloD The Review when you write. 



Dearborn street, where an old building 

 is to be torn down, and is handling a 

 large quantity of stock there. 



Hoerber Bros, have not yet reached 

 water with the well they are putting 

 down at their plant at Des Plaines. The 

 hole is now more than 600 feet deep, 

 it costs $2.50 a foot. Such a well pre- 

 sents an interesting problem. Over $1,- 

 500 already are invested; to stop is to 

 lose the money, while to go on may re- 

 sult in water being reached any day, or 

 it may be simply putting good money 

 with bad. Hoerber Bros, say they have 

 set the mark at 1,000 feet before they 

 turn to other sources of water supply. 



L. H. Winterson reports bedding plants 

 now going well at Winterson 's Seed 

 Store. 



Weiland & Riseh say the part of their 

 plant not already in training for next 

 season is in much heavier crop than it 

 was in May last year. 



C. W. McKellar looks to see the cape 

 jasmine relieve the Decoration day 

 strain on other flowers and return the 

 shippers much better money than in re- 

 cent years. 



John Kruchten reports business as ex- 

 cellent and predicts a record Decoration 

 day. 



Frank Oeehslin says it keeps them 

 humping to fill the orders that are pour- 

 ing in. He had to buy a large number 

 of Boston ferns, as those grown in his 

 own houses were not nearly enough to 

 meet the demand. 



L. Baumann, of L. Baumann & Co., 

 is making an extensive European trip. 

 He is in search of new designs, etc., 

 and is not expected to return before 

 August 1.

Business Developments. 



Ernst C. Amling, eldest son of Albert 

 F. Amling, is building on his father's 

 farm two houses, each 27x250 feet, to 

 be planted exclusively to American 

 Beauties, the special favorites of the 

 young man. The place will be heated 

 by steam, with a Hippard trap to re- 

 turn the condensation. Everything will 

 be modern and up-to-date. 



Walter Burhop, a nephew of Henry 

 Wehrman, of this city, bought an acre 

 of ground from Albert F. Amling, and 

 is building one house, 27x200 feet, to 

 be heated by steam. It will be planted 

 to chrysanthemimis and sweet peas. He 

 is also erecting a fine residence. 



Another young grower, by the name 

 of Ernst Weiss, who was with the Albert 

 F. Amling Co. for a number of years, 

 is negotiating for the purchase of a 



number of acres from A. F. Amling, 

 on which he will locate a greenhouse es- 

 tablishment by next fall. 



William H. Amling, in addition to 

 building a house 29x350 feet, to be plant- 

 ed to sweet peas and mums, is remodel- 

 ing his boiler house and changing from 

 hot water to steam heat. A new boiler, 

 sixty-six inches by eighteen feet, is now 

 being installed in the new boiler room, 

 which is 18x85 feet. A new chimney, 

 now under construction, will be sixty 

 feet in height and four feet in inside 

 diameter. Two acres of ground were 

 recently purchased, adjoining the pres- 

 ent place, at $500 per acre. On the bor- 

 der of this new property a nephew of 

 the Amlings, Paul E. Weiss, of Milwau- 

 kee, has bought two acres, with the in- 

 tention of building a number of green- 

 houses in the near future. Mr. Weiss is 

 a board of trade man in Milwaukee, 

 with the firm of L. Bartlett & Son Co., 

 grain dealers. 



At the establishment of the A. F. 

 Amling Co., the six new houses are near- 

 ing completion, and it is expected that 

 they will all be planted during May, 

 with Beauties and White Killameys. A 

 large reservoir, 25x130 and eight feet 

 deep, is nearly completed, and into it will 

 drain all the water from the roofs of the
