YOOM-WE SUPPLY THE STOCK 



I THE STOCK THAT MAKES EAST SELLING FOR TOUl 



In 1912, as always, the interests of our patrons will be our 

 first consideration. We take more pains than any other 

 house in Chicago to see that every order is filled exactly as 

 wanted. We have all leading varieties of Roses and Car- 

 nations, and all other stock in season.

into its own again as a flower day; it 

 will be a big flower day as soon as the 

 public finds out how prices fall after 

 Christmas. 



Various Notes. 



James Dempsey, who was 19 years of 

 age and had worked for Andrew Mc- 

 Adams for about four years, died De- 

 cember 20, after a short illness with 

 pneumonia. The funeral was held De- 

 cember 23. 



It will surprise a good many whole- 

 salers to learn that the store that prob- 

 ably is the largest buyer in this market 

 says Christmas stock, on the average, 

 did not cost quite so much as last year. 

 It was practically all ordered in ad- 

 vance, the buyer not visiting the mar- 

 ket from December 19 to 26. 



Fire attacked the Buckingham place 

 houses of the George Wittbold Co., 

 Thursday afternoon, December 21, 

 when the Christmas rush was at its 

 height. A house of Boston ferns was 

 completely destroyed and one of the 

 boiler sheds was badly damaged. The 

 heating apparatus escaped without seri- 

 ous injury, however, and the stock in 

 all the other houses was saved. The loss 

 was about $1,500, with no insurance. 

 The cause of the fire is unknown. 



The Des Plaines Floral Co. has in- 

 stalled a new water supply system, 

 using a gasoline engine for power. 



A. Henderson & Co. are this week 

 closing their first year of business, 

 more than satisfied with the progress 

 made. 



It is expected that quite a party will 

 go to Detroit on the night of January 

 9, to attend the rose and carnation 

 show. P. J. Foley, chairman of the 

 club's transportation committee, doubt- 

 less will have an announcement to make 

 in due time. 



O. Johnson, of the Batavia Green- 

 house Co., has been ill for several days, 

 but staid by the ship until the Christ- 

 mas rush was over, after which he laid 

 off at his home at Batavia for a few 

 days. 



C. M. Dickinson and C." L. Washburn 

 each spent the late hours of Saturday 

 night in decorating churches to which 

 they donate the Christmas greens, one 

 at Park Ridge and one at Hinsdale.
