ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



Mention Tbe Review when too write 



Co., says that there are so many Paper 

 Whites on the market this year that 

 the returns hardly show the profit for 

 growers the other years have brought. 



Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, does 

 not believe that violets are as popular 

 with Chicago retail buyers as formerly 

 and points out that the corsages worn 

 now usually are either orchids and 

 valley or sweet peas. 



.John Kruehtcn finds some trouble 



in supplying all those who call for gar- 

 denias and has established a list of 

 their needs and will present the same 

 to the local growers in hopes of getting 

 an increase in the supply. 



The after effects of the S. A. F. con- 

 vention are still lingering around. The 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association 

 has a bill for chairs that is being con- 

 tested in the local courts. The asso- 

 ciation rented a number of chairs for 



one week and now the Chicago Safe 

 & Merchandise Co. is making an effort 

 to collect a bill for three months' use 

 of the seats, which were left on the 

 second floor. 



Kyle & Foerster report that violets 

 are holding up well in quality, but 

 hardly seem to be meeting with so 

 heavy a demand as usual. In almost 

 everything else Mr. Kyle says there is 

 a much brisker market than last year 

 at this date. 



C. L. Washburn was struck by an 

 electric automobile January 12, but for- 

 tunately it did not turn out seriously 

 and aside from a few black and blue 

 spots he is none the worse for the expe- 

 rience. The car was driven by a girl 

 11 years old, who failed to see Mr. 

 Washburn, who had taken to the mid- 

 dle of the street on account of the icy 

 sidewalks. Hit directly in the middle 

 of the back, the wholesaler was knocked 

 sideways about eight or ten feet, but 

 as he landed in soft snow there were 

 no bones broken. 



Allen Gerling, 3228 Lincoln avenue, 

 has removed to Spokane, Wash. 



Growers along the St. Paul are up 

 in arms because the switching charge 

 on their coal has been advanced from 

 $4 to $6 per car. The coal dealers have 

 appealed to the Illinois Kailroad and 

 Warehouse Commission. 



It is reported that John T. Muir will 

 not at once open a downtown store 

 near the corner of Wabash avenue and 

 Monroe street, where he has a lease on 

 a desirable room. The store will be 

 sublet for a time.

 traveler, now in the retail business at
