chief assistant. Mr. Frosp had occu- 

 pied the position of general manager 

 since the organization of the associa- 

 tion last August and was considered 

 a decidedly capable business getter, 

 having been connected with Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co. and George Reinberg 

 for a number of years previous to last 

 summer. February 28 he resumed his 

 old position with "Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 where the shipping trade will be his 

 special interest. 



Ernst Wieuhoeber, while not seri- 

 ously ill, still is confined to his home. 

 He has been at the store only a few- 

 times since Christmas. 



X. .T. Wietor says there is an ex- 

 tremely heavy call for cuttings of 

 White Enchantress carnation. 



Fred Lautenschlager was at Ithaca, 

 X. Y., last week to exhibit the 

 Kroeschell boiler, generator and piping 

 system at the Farmers' Congress at 

 Cornell University, which many grow- 

 ers under glass attended. 



Seven candidates took the civil serv- 

 ice examination February 27 for the 

 j>osition of head gardener at the Gar- 

 field park conservatories, the position 

 recently made vacant by the death of 

 .Tohn Sell. The examination was con- 

 ducted, for the commission, by E. A. 

 Kanst and W. N. Eudd. The result 

 may not be known for some little 

 time. 



Phil Schupp says that the J. A. 

 Budlong rose crop is coming on rap- 

 idly, the seven houses that showed the 

 effect of leakage of gas having come 

 out of it in first-class shape. 



Charles L. Washburn, of Bassett & 

 Washburn, celebrated his fifty-fourth 

 birthday February 27, when he was 

 kept busy receiving the congratula- 

 tions of friends who wished him a like 

 number of happy returns of the day. 



A. F. Longren will take charge of 

 E. H. Hunt 's exhibit of greenhouse 

 supplies at the meeting of the Illinois 

 State Florists' Association, which will 

 be held at .Toliet, March 5 and 6. 



Schiller The Florist has completed 

 the spring housecleaning and the store 

 and fixtures make a fine appearance in 

 their new dresses. An imitation marble 

 effect is carried throughout.

turned to Chicago this week after a 

 60-day trip through the west. He re- 

 ports business good, with the excep- 

 tion of a few days during the big 

 storm of a week ago, when things 

 were at a standstill on account of de- 

 layed traffic. • 



Frequent shipments of goldfish to the 



Pacific coast have recently been made 

 with almost no loss by the Auburndale 

 Goldfish Co. Mrs. K."^ N. Cooper, man- 

 ager, says that demand has been so 

 good that the small sizes are practi- 

 cally all gone.
