tdvance- . -A gxeai many greenhouses 

 are planted with sweet peas, but the 

 pick thus far has been light, Booians 

 are overplentiful. 



Greens sold well after Christmas — 

 boxwood, Mexican ivy and plumosus 

 bunches. There is little call for smilax 

 or asparagus strings. 



Chicago to Detroit. 



P. J. Foley, chairman of the Florists' 

 Club's transportation committee, states 

 that arrangements have been made to 

 go to Detroit via the Wabash, leaving 

 at 11 p. m. January 9 and arriving at 

 Detroit at 7:30 a. m. on the day of the 

 opening of the rose and carnation 

 shows. It is expected that a special 

 car will be filled. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club will elect officers 

 at the Bismarck hotel tonight, Jan- 

 uary 4. 



Albert Fuchs, owner of the Chateau 

 apartments, Sheridan road and Claren- 

 don avenue, has purchased from the 

 Lehmann estate the vacant forty-five 

 feet in Grace street opposite the Bis- 

 marck, with a depth of 486 feet, run- 

 ning through to Sheridan road, for 

 $40,000. Mr. Fuchs is said to have 

 acquired the property for the purpose 

 of furnishing his tenants with garage 

 accommodations, children 's play- 

 grounds, lawn tennis court and laundry. 

 On the Sheridan road trontage he will 

 erect six twelve-room apartments. 



George Wienhoeber says that in the 

 three days before Christmas the 

 Fleischman Floral Co. used 110,000 vio- 

 lets. When they make up corsages 

 for a holiday the entire force works 

 at it, each person performing a single 

 operation. In one hour Christmas morn- 

 ing they used up 55,000 violets. It 

 paid so well to keep open all day Sun- 

 day before Christmas that the same 

 course was followed the last day of the 

 year. 



Fred Fischer, 2737 North Clark 

 street, who is the champion bowler, is 

 doing a fine business. Between pick- 

 ups and deliveries his automobile is 

 kept on the go. 



Wietor Bros, have just signed a new 

 lease on their store in the Atlas block. 

 They have occupied the same room fif- 

 teen years, E. F. Winterson being the 

 only other wholesaler who has stayed a 

 longer time in one place. Winterson

has been paying rent to the McCor- 

 micks for close to a quarter of a 

 century. 



The Chicago Carnation Co. has en- 

 tered in nearly all the carnation classes 

 at Detroit next week. 



At E. H. Hunt's stock-taking was 

 begun December 29. Inventorying a 

 stock of florists' supplies is a big job, 

 but they put it through in short order. 



Miss A. L. Tonner is proud of the 

 long-handled, gold-headed umbrella 

 that came as a New Year's gift from 

 the employees in the supply depart- 

 ment of the A. L. Bandall Co. _ 



Probably the youngest old florist in 

 Chicago is Harry Manheim, of Hoerber 

 Bros. He started in the business when 

 7 years old, as delivery boy for Jegen, 

 then located on Washington street. 

 That, Mr. Manheim says, was twenty- 

 eight years ago. 



A. Henderson & Co. say it is sur- 

 prisingly easy to take orders — no trou- 

 ble at all. A. Miller is at Detroit 

 and G. Eeburn at Denver. 



Henry Wittbold is planning to build 

 greenhouses at Evanston in the spring. 



January 1 Joseph Foerster, of Kyle 

 & Foerster, celebrated the twelfth an- 

 niversary of his start in the trade. 

 He began with George Beinberg, who
