 tion. 



E. E. Pieser keeps up his old friend- 

 ships on South Water street and almost 

 any Saturday afternoon you can see 

 him making his way back to the Ken- 

 nicott store laden with some delicacy 

 picked up during liis weekly visit to 

 the provisions market. 



Phil Schupp says the bouvardia now 

 coming in is not only the longest ever 

 handled by J. A. Budlong, but that he 

 thinks it is the longest ever seen in 

 this market. 



Zech & Mann have a grower who is 

 still growing Bridesmaid, cutting a 

 good crop, and say that many out-of- 

 town customers .ask for it in place of 

 Killarney. 



"While he recognizes that the weather 

 for the next week will be quite a factor, 

 E. C. Amling thinks the Christmas 

 supply of Killarney will be the largest 

 this market ever has known. "The 

 growers have got so they can bring it 

 in about the way they want it," he 

 says, and adds the comment that "they 

 all want it for Christmas." 



John Poehlmann remarks that he 

 never has seen Cattleya Percivaliana 

 sell better than it has the last few 

 weeks, during the interval between the 

 crops of labiata and Trianse. 

 • Winterson's Seed Store says the pa- 



per Christmas bells, now offered so 

 cheaply, are selling well again, though 

 florists are buying more for store 

 decorating than for retailing. 



O. Johnson intimates that there is 

 truth in the report that the Batavia 

 Greenhouse Co. is figuring on another 

 addition to its glass. 



Peter Keinberg recently has been 

 cutting a fine crop of roses in the 

 houses that were hit by the cyclone. 



C. W. McKellar figures that the 

 Christmas business will come later than 

 usual this year, but that it will in the 

 end show the usual increase. 



Henry Van Gelder is steadily increas- 

 ing the space used for the Percy Jones 

 business. 



Miss Gunterberg says that the death 

 of B. Eldredge will make no change in 

 the Belvidere greenhouse affairs, the 

 estate continuing all his businesses. 



Weiland & Eisch recently took out a 

 building permit for the erection of six 

 houses as an addition to their range at 

 Evanston, but have abandoned the idea 

 of going ahead with the work this win- 

 ter. The houses will go up in the 

 spring. 



N. J. Wietor points with special 

 pride to the Eichmond roses now ^ei'ng 

 cut, the stems being the longest in 

 their experience, running up to five 

 feet. • • 



The arrival of a boy baby at the home 

 of Mrs. Paul Kruger, December 8, gave 

 George Eeinberg the proud title of 

 Grandpa. 



C. M. Dickinson was called to New 

 York unexpectedly December 9, but is 

 again at his desk at E. H. Hunt's. 



The Adams-Eobertson Co., on Eush 

 street, was given a fine illustrated 

 writerup in the last issue of the British- 

 American, a paper held in high esteem 

 by the British-American residents of 

 Chicago. Walter Adams is an Amer- 

 ican of British extraction and D. A. 

 Eobertson is a native of Kirkcaldy, 

 Scotland. 



John Kruchten has established quite 

 a shipping trade on gardenias. 



John Starrett asserts that the Hotel 

 La Salle, where he is florist, is one of 

 the largest buyers on the local market. 

 He uses, he says, from 1,000 to 1,200 

 flowers every day in the year. 



W. W, Eandall, of the A. L. Eandall 

 Co., was summoned to appear December 

 11 for a fortnight's term of jury serv- 

 ice during the busiest two weeks in the 

 year. He was excused. 



Harry Manheim considers the outlook 

 bright. He says the orders already 

 booked iHsure beating the record made 

 last Christmas by Hoerber Bros.

 will drop Maid and cut down on White
