Various Notes. 



Several local growers who are selling 

 their own stock on the Chicago market 

 will make a change of location Febru- 

 ary 1, according to the statement given 

 out by H. H. Wilkerson, manager for 

 Henry Wittbold. The change will af- 

 fect Frank Beu, H. C. Blewitt, Hunt 

 Bros., A. E. Hunt & Co. and Sol. Gar- 

 land, who will hereafter be located at 

 56 East Randolph street, with H. Witt- 

 bold. With the exception of the last 

 named, who, it is understood, has for- 

 merly shipped to Percy Jones, those 

 concerned in the move have been sell- 

 ing their stock at 82 to 86 East Ran- 

 dolph street, renting space on the floor 

 occupied by J. A. Budlong, Sinner Bros, 

 and M. C. Gunterberg, who will remain 

 at their present location. Henry Witt- 

 bold will continue to do business in 

 the same quarters, merely subletting 

 space to the others. Outside of Sol. 

 Garland, all have been located in the 

 same quarters before, in the days of the 

 Chicago Flower Growers | Co. 



For the second time in less than a 

 month the residence of John Poehl- 

 mann was ransacked by burglars Jan- 

 uary 19. The robbery was committed 

 during the absence of the family. The 

 principal loss was $100 in currency 

 which Mrs. Poehlmann had secreted 

 in a dresser; neither the family silver 

 nor other valuables were disturbed. 

 Consequently Mr. Poehlmann thinks 

 the burglar must have been looking 

 for the means to foot Christmas bills, 

 while Mrs. Poehlmann avers that when 

 they returned home the sleeping apart- 

 ments looked as though Mr. Poehlmann 

 had just finished hunting for a collar 

 button when overdue at the store. Bur- 

 glar insurance had been taken out 

 since the first visit by thieves. 



John Muno, Adam Zender and 

 Charles Hanisch are all driving Cadil- 

 lac touring cars. 



H. R. Hughes, the West Van Buren 

 street retailer, whose original window 

 decorations have made him widely 

 known, has invented a special St. Val- 

 entine's day cut flower box and has 

 made an arrangement with the A. L. 

 Randall Co. to become his selling agent. 



George M. Garland, president of the 

 Des Plaines concern that bears his 

 name, is at the King Edward hotel, 

 Los Angeles, Cal., and will remain the 

 rest of the Winter studying trade con- 

 ditions there. 



The Batavia Greenhouse Co. has re- 

 cently put a year's supply of valley
