French visited Mt. Clemens on their 

 way home from Cleveland, Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co. doubled its order for young 

 stock of Carnation Philadelphia. . 



At Crown Point, A. T. Frey has a lot 

 of seedling freesias, including a nice 

 pink as well as white and yellow. He 

 is sending 700 to 800 to market each 

 day. 



Florists have all kinds of hobbies, but 

 distinctly out of the ordinary is that of 

 Carl Zacharias, an employee of Wend- 

 land & Keimel Co., Elmhurst. Mr. Zach- 

 arias in building an airship. It is on 

 the Zeppelin order, but is planned to 

 rise without the aid of gas, propelled by 

 an aluminum engine. 



February 18 is to be moving day for 

 John Michelsen, the new residence in 

 River Forest having reached completion. 



When seen at the store of Kyle & 

 Foerster February 9, W. Bezdek said 

 he had come to town to get warm, it 

 having been 16 degrees below zero at 

 Grosse Point that morning. 



That the shipping and keeping quali- 

 ties of violets largely" depend on the 

 stage at which the blooms are picked is 

 the belief of Charles Erne, who says 

 Erne & Klingel note a distinct differ- 

 ence in the condition of the Hudson 

 river stock that is picked before being 

 fully developed; it arrives much better 

 than do the flowers left to fully develop 

 on the plants. 



It is expected that Mrs. C. W. McKel- 

 lar will remain in Henrotin lu)spital for 

 another three weeks. She is progress- 

 ing nicely, but her operation proved 

 much more severe than had been 

 thought necessary. 



After having been in the hospital 

 since New Year's, suffering with 

 typhoid, D. E. Freres was able to re- 

 turn home last week. It is expected he 

 will be able to resume business about 

 March 1. 



The appointment as superintendent 

 of the greenhouses of the Chicago Car- 

 nation Co., at Joliet, 111., to succeed 

 Peter Olsem, ha« been given to Frank 

 Fischer. Mr. Fischer is a former em- 

 ployee under Mr. Olsem. Recently he 

 has been with the Charleston Cut 

 Flower & Plant Co., at Charleston, S. C. 



A unique plan has been adapted by 



A display
