est addition to be made to any Chicago 

 establishment for next season. 



It is reported that E. P. Bunck has 

 sold his interest in the Andersen Spe- 

 cialty Co., manufacturers of Daylite 

 Glass Cleaner, to Mr. Andersen. 



Harry Garland, of Geo. M. Garland 

 Co., has been making a three days' visit 

 at Cleveland and vicinity. 



A postal from Curtis Kindler, of the 

 Eaedlein Basket Co., shows him in Ger- 

 many, where he is selecting the Easter 

 line of baskets. 



H. N. Bruns says that last week 

 brought him more calls for cut valley 

 than he could fill, in many cases only 

 half the orders being sent out. 



The Chicago Pump Co. has moved 

 its oflSce and factory to larger and more 

 desirable quarters at 906-910 West Lake 

 street; increasing business being the 

 cause of the change.

CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway of the South. 



Last week started with business quite 

 brisk, the close, however, being far 

 different, as no one line cleaned out 

 entirely and a larger or smaller quan- 

 tity of everything was held over for 

 the early part of this week 's business. 

 The opening of this week was essen- 

 tially the same as the close of the pre- 

 ceding one; none of the buyers hurried 

 around as though they were anxious 

 lest they be unable to recure a sufficient 

 amount of stock. 



The supply of all kinds of roses is 

 adequate, Killamey and White Killar- 

 ney naturally being the leaders, and it 

 may be added that some elegant stock 

 is being offered in both of them. Rich- 

 mond offerings, too, include some fino 

 stock, while good Brides, Ivory and 

 Golden Gate can also be easily obtained 

 on Third avenue. American Beauties 

 are finding a ready request. 



The shipment of carnations into the 

 wholesale houses is large; in fact, at 

 the time of this writing larger than 

 necessary, but the good ones have been 

 cleaning up fairly well. The culls, of 

 course, do not move rapidly and prices 

 have shaded considerably. 



In other stock, some lines are finding 

 a fair call, while others are not so act- 

 ive. Last week was the first one in 

 which all single violets failed to move 

 promptly; the choice sold in a hurry, 

 while smaller stock did not sell at all. 

 Doubles, too, are somewhat slow.

162 N. Wabash Aveaue, CHICAGO 



Mention The Review when you ■write. 



Lilies, both longiflorum and callas, sell 

 nicely. The supply of narcissi and 

 Romans has let up considerably, but 

 the market for them has not grown bet- 

 ter in a proportionate inverse ratio; it 

 remains the same as at the time of the 

 last letter. Sales in valley have been 

 good, but not sufficient to clean up the 

 offerings. Orchids are in demand locally 

 for corsages for the many social affairs, 

 titevia, cut begonias of the Lorraine 

 type, and a few cut poinsettias are the 

 other flowers offered. 



Business in green goods has been ex- 

 cellent and the shipping demand for 



them is stronger than the demand for 

 flowers. 



Club Meeting. 



It was impossible to get a quorum to 

 gether for the club meeting Monday, 

 January 8. Only five. President Gus 

 Adrian, Secretary Alex. Ostendarp, E. 

 Witterstaetter, 6. H. Hoffmeister and 

 Chas. H. Hoffmeister, summoned cour- 

 age enough to face the wintry blasts; 

 they were "some blasts," too.
