ORCHIDS 



There are no finer Cattleyas anywhere in the 

 country and our supply is large. 



VALLEY

 orders on short notice. 



FANCY KILLARNEYS 



If the Roses you are using are not satisfactory, order some of these. 



These Roses sell fast, because they are of better quality than can be found elsewhere, but we aim to 

 have some in the store at all times for rush orders. Splendid color; good solid heads on medium to long 

 stems. We want you to order some of these because we know you will like them. 



Carnations 



Can fill the largest orders. Supply 

 greatly increased. 



Beauties 



Lilies 



More loner steins than any other, but a 

 fair supply of medium lengths. 



You will find our Rubrum Lilies useful; 

 they call them poor man's orchids. 



A Good Supply of Spring Flowei's 



We have a fine supply of Jonquils, DafiEodils, Tulips, Paper Whites, Freesias, etc. — excellent quality — 

 and a larger quantity than at any time this season. These Spring flowers are popular and are moving 

 rapidly, but. we can fill your order.

by Poehlmann Bros Co. The Albert F. 

 Amling Co., Maywood, also took a 

 good quantity, as did Wendland & 

 Keimel Co., Elmhurst. Last week Wie- 

 tor Bros., Bassett & Washburn, Peter 

 Reinberg and Sinner Bros, placed or- 

 ders. George Reinberg, who is not 

 noted for haste in buying novelties, 

 ordered 500 Hadley the first tiipe he 

 saw the flowers. Others also are or- 

 dering, so that over 20,000 will be 

 planted here next season. 



New Construction Contractor. 



Believing that there is a good field 

 for someone equipped to erect green- 

 houses on contract, George Willens has 

 et.irted in that branch of the business 

 under the name of the Willens Con- 

 struction Co. His headquarters are at 



1527 South Spaulding avenue. Mr. Wil- 

 lens was until recently an estimator for 

 the John C. Moninger Co., and pre- 

 viously had been employed by the Foley 

 Mfg. Co. For the present he expects 

 to confine his operations to the erection 

 of greenhouses under contract, for he 

 has in mind a number of new ideas on 

 greenhouse construction and may even- 

 tually start manufacturing greenhQi^se 

 material. He is a young man of earnest 

 purpose and should succeed. 



Various Notes. 



The secretary of state has licensed 

 the organization of the Ickes-Braun 

 Mill Co., the capital of $30,000 being 

 fully paid in. Carl Ickes, who is the 

 moving spirit in the matter, says con- 

 tracts for the building have been let, 



orders for the machinery have been 

 placed and the expectation is that the 

 new plant will be turning out green- 

 house materials in April or, at latest, 

 in May. 



A neat monthly calendar is sent to 

 100 of her customers by M. C. Gunter- 

 berg, who says it appears to be a good 

 way of letting people know their pat- 

 ronage is appreciated. 



On the first day the temperature 

 dropped below zero this year, Winter- 

 son's Seed Store began the distribution 

 of its 1914 spring catalogue. Hardy 

 perennials are featured. 



One of. last week 's absentees was Al. 

 Lehman, who has charge of the violet 

 department of the E. C. Amling Co. 



After a trip that began during the 

 holidays, Richard Parked reached the
