Foehlmann Going Into Supplies. 



The most important news of the week 

 is the announcement that the Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., which is preparing to 

 move the store into much larger quar- 

 ters, will go into florists' supplies. It 

 is stated that a complete line will be 

 put in. The florists' supplies interests 

 in Chicago are expanding rapidly. 



Various Notes. 



The partnership between Frank Will- 

 iams and George Economopoulos, doing 

 business as the Alpha Floral Co., was 

 dissolved by mutual consent February 

 2. Mr. Economopoulos will continue 

 the store and assumed all obligations.' 



The Batavia Greenhouse Co. has 

 Moninger material on the ground for 

 four new houses, each 27x275. Two 

 are to be planted, as early as possible, 

 to Killarneys and two later to carna- 

 tions. 



Weiland & Bisch have just finished 

 equipping their boilers with smoke con- 

 sumers on the steam jet blower system. 

 All the Evanston growers have similar 

 work in mind, for the city officials are 

 getting after all smoking chimneys. 



In discussing the prospect, at the 

 store of the E. C. Amling Co., H. C. 

 Wendland stated the other day that 

 between July 1, 1912, and July 1, 1913, 

 Wendland & Keimel expect to cut ap- 

 proximately 2,000,000 roses. Their ad- 

 dition is the largest any grower for this 

 market is making this year. They will 

 have twenty-one houses to produce the 

 2,000,000 flowers. 



Harry Eowe is nicely located in his 

 new store at 20 East Monroe street and 

 his old stand is in the hands of John 

 Mangel 's decorators. 



Wm. Dittman, the New Castle Beauty 

 grower who ships to Kyle & Foerster, 

 has gone to Tavares, Fla., for four 

 weeks' vacation, leaving the place in 

 charge of Wm. Dittman, Jr. 



John Biemersma, who does business 

 at 7111 Indiana avenue as the Park 

 Manor Greenhouses, has worked up a
