The Always Reliable 

 Wholesale Fiorists 



Reliability, from an out-of-town buyer's point of view; calls for more 

 than a large supply of stock— it calls for unceasing watchfulness, much 

 personal effort, and a constant care that the customer gets his order 

 filled in full, on the right train, and with the right grade of stock. 

 It's easy to ship orders short— but the item not sent usually is the one 

 the buyer most needed. 



We have built up our large shipping trade— north, east, west and 

 south— not only by having at all times a large supply of stock, but by 

 using great care to see that every order was filled AS WANTED. 



At present we have a specially large and fine supply of 



ROSES, CAKNAnONS. WINTER BLOOMING SPENCER SWEET PEAS*, BEAUTIES, TULIPS, 



JONQUILS, DAFTODILS, FREESIA, VALLEY. LIUES, VIOLETS, GREENS, ETC.

Before an audience of 300 ladies, 

 members of the Colony Club, Misses 

 Virginia and ' Edna Poehlmann won 

 much praise for their dancing Lucky 

 Friday, March 13. Each of the young 

 ladies played the accompaniment for 

 the other's dancing. In costume, Miss 

 Virginia did the toe dance, a difficult 

 feat, not often seen in the perform- 

 ance of any but a professional dancer 

 of long training. Miss Edna's dance 

 was the waltz brilliante. The wives of 

 the Poehlmann brothers, John, Adolph 

 and August, are active members of 

 mini Village and the young people are 

 frequent entertainers at Colony Club 

 affairs. 



The Mrs. Russell rose has acquitted 

 itself well enough at Emil Buettner'a 

 so that it will be given a second trial, 

 2,000 plants being used in place of the 

 250 now on the bench. Mr. Buettner 

 says he hopes it may prove to be a 

 dark weather rose, his plants having 

 done especially well during January 

 and February. 



Sports of Killarney are everywhere. 



Wietor Bros, have one that is so deep 

 in color that a flower of it in a bunch 

 of Killarney looks almost like a red 

 rose among the pink. They call it 

 Wietor 's Brilliant. 



With 90,000 feet of glass producing 

 stock for the Chicago market, O. John- 

 son, of the Batavia Greenhouse Co., 

 says this has been their best season to 

 date. Although Beauties have not 

 turned in so much money as last year, 

 Killarneys have done better. 



The reason why galax leaves have 

 not sold 80 well as usual this year, ac- 

 cording to E. E. Pieser, is that the 

 trade is using so many prepared mag- 

 nolia leaves. If the supply of galax 

 proves to have been reduced by the 

 snows in North Carolina this winter, 

 Mr. Pieser believes it will not incon- 

 venience the trade. 



Since he began advertising "Blue 

 Ribbon Roses" in the daily papers 

 Louis Wittbold says the entire cut of 

 the George Wittbold Co., at Edgebrook, 

 has been disposed of at retail. The 

 stock has been excellent. 



Led by John Zech and his son, OUie 

 Zech, a team of city bowlers will visit 

 Maywood March 20, leaving on the 

 6:30 train, to fulfill an engagement 

 made for them by Walter Amling, son 

 of W. H. Amling. 



When seen at the store of Kyle & 

 Foerster March 16 Frank Schramm was 

 taking a day off after a busy winter 

 during which he has changed his heat- 

 ing system from hot water to steam. 

 He has six houses at Arlington Heights. 

 A 100 horse-power Freeman boiler first 

 was installed and then new piping was 

 installed in one house, after which the 

 hot water pipes were torn out. The 

 whole range was thus converted, one 

 house at a time. During the summer 

 another 100 horse-power Freeman boiler 

 is to be put in and for next season the 

 place will be planted exclusively to 

 roses. 



After having served most capably 

 for six years, Miss Marie Ollmert has 

 resigned her position in the ofiSce of 

 C. W. McKellar and removed to Den- 

 ver with a sister, hoping thereby to
