C. A. Woolley, for the Illinois Self- 

 Watering Flower Box Co., showed a 

 pyramid of metal reservoir window 

 boxes in many sizes, and one box in 

 which geraniums were growing. For 

 Peters & Eeed Pottery Co. he showed 

 Moss Aztec ware and red pots. 



Joseph Ziska had a table of the sta- 

 ples of florists' supplies. 



The Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- 

 ciation was represented on the second 

 day by vases of excellent Ward, Mi- 

 lady and Sunburst roses, and a vase of 

 excellent Mrs, C. W. Ward carnations. 

 S. S. Skidelsky & Co., Philadelphia, 

 sent an exhibit of Carnation Phila- 

 delphia, which arrived on the second 

 day in good condition. W L. Palinsky 

 also came in with a group of good 

 azaleas. 



Various Notes. 



Because a recent pink window sold 

 so many baskets of Killarneys W. J. 

 Smyth last week had two basket win- 

 dows, one of yellow, using southern 

 jonquils, and the other in pink, using 

 butterfly peas. Arthur Weatherwax 

 flagged many a passer-by by using 

 quantities of Bayersdorf er 's little cel- 

 luloid cockatoos in the windows. 



With its large outlet, when a good 

 novelty appears Poehlmann Bros. Co. 

 is able to buy the quantity of stock 

 necessary to get the lowest jobbing 

 price and to sell at the regular rates 

 for smaller lots such quantity as is not 

 wanted for its own planting. August 

 Poehlmann says everyone has wanted 

 Killarney Brilliant; no trouble at all 

 to get orders for it. 

 . In addition to the 90,000 feet of 

 glass used for growing Beauties and 

 roses for the Chicago market, the 

 Batavia Greenhouse Co. has 35,000 feet 

 used for the local retail trade at 

 Batavia. There is glass on the place 

 for a couple of new houses, but it prob- 

 ably will not be used this season. 



Killarney Brilliant to the extent of 

 3,000 plants will find a home at Emil 

 Buettner's Park Bidge establishment. 



The Hobbs- Wagner stand at 3112 In- 

 diana avenue is one of the oldest flower 

 stores in the city. George Wagner has 

 been there nearly twenty years and E. 

 Hobbs as long before him. When Mr. 

 Hobbs started it was a new residence

neighborhood. The greenhouses were 

 long since crowded out and now the 

 locality is built solidly with apartment 

 houses. Mr. Wagner is able to do a 

 prosperous business without carrying 

 much stock. 



"The call for flowers at Hotel La 

 SaUe does not let up even if I am half 

 sick with a cold," says George Pieser. 



In charge of his flower department 

 J. H. McNeilly now has John Fisher, 

 who formerly conducted the Battle 

 Creek branch store of the H. A. Fisher 

 Co., Kalamazoo. 



When John Michelsen found his new 

 garage would not heat because it was 

 lower than the boiler he adopted the 

 plan he saw in successful operation at 

 Sam Pearce's new place by putting in 

 a screw pump propelled by an electric 

 motor. By this method Mr. Pearce 

 makes the returns in his low houses'>4s
