offices are being moved from the rear 

 of the second floor to the front of the 

 third floor, where more room will be 

 available. The space formerly occu- 

 pied will be added to the salesroom for 

 supplies, where it has been badly 

 needed, especially just before Christ- 

 mas. 



Wendland & Keimel, Elmhurst, are 

 said to have cut 52,000 roses for 

 Christmas. 



John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., reports as one of the curious fea- 

 tures of the Christmas business that, 

 while everything else was selling bet- 

 ter than usual, there was no special de- 

 mand for the new yellow roses. They 

 sold well enough when the customers' 

 attention was drawn to them, but were 

 not asked for. 



Peter Keinberg, as is his custom, 

 spent the days before Christmas in the 

 store, watching the disposition of the 

 holiday cuts and greeting the trade.

 many roses in a week and at first was 

 in doubt about their cleaning up, but 

 Tim Matchen says there was nothing 

 left at closing time Christmas day. 



It is said the Fleischman Floral Co., 

 as one item, used 3,000 Beauties for 

 Christmas.

E. E. Pieser was born Xew Year's 

 day, 1863. Consequently he completed 

 his half century yesterday. The cele- 

 bration is today. 



August Poehlmann, of Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., says the cut flower depart- 

 ment never faced a demand at Christ- 

 mas time like the one experienced dur- 

 ing 1912 and that it was impossible to 

 fill all the calls that were received in 

 the last stages of the rush. The same 

 was true of the plant department, 

 blooming- varieties being cleaned up 

 early. 



William Kidwell says the retail 

 Christmas trade was never better than
