show Friday and Saturday, February 7 

 and 8, at 'the store of the A. L. Eandall 

 Co. Business sessions with an attrac- 

 tive program will be held the same days. 



The Eaedlein Basket Co. reports the 

 arrival of an importation of 100 cases 

 of baskets from its factories in Ger- 

 many. The bulk of this consignment 

 is already sold, but another shipment is 

 expected in the near future. On ac- 

 count of the heavy weather on the 

 ocean, this shipment was greatly de- 

 layed. 



Carl Strobuck, who was employed in 

 the retail establishment of the Geo. 

 Wittbold Co., on Buckingham place, died 

 January 26 of dropsy. Otto Strobuck, a 

 brother of the deceased, is connected 

 with the same concern. 



Erne & Klingel say that the shortage 

 of sweet peas during last week helped 

 to improve the market for violets, the 

 singles selling unusually well. 



Henry Wittbold handled one of the 

 largest and most elaborate decorating 

 jobs of recent years January 31, for 

 Mrs. Harold McCormiek, at the Con- 

 gress hotel. Over 160 cases of wild 

 smilax were used, with hundreds of 

 blooming plants, ferns, palms, etc., pre- 

 paring the Gold room for one of the 

 more important social functions of the 

 year. Manager H. H. Wilkerson states 

 that the present rush has made it im- 

 possible to get the salesrooms open as 

 was announced. 



A. L. Vaughan finds a steady demand 

 for the higher grade of bulbous stock 

 and says that, with the shortage of 

 roses, tulips, jonquils and others are un- 

 usually popular. 



F. F. Benthey, with Kyle & Foerster, 

 says the Sunburst rose has done so well 

 at the Bentheys' Newcastle establish- 

 ment that there will be an increase in 

 the number of plants next season. He 

 also reports a big crop of Killarney and 

 Richmond near the cutting point. 



C. L. Washburn was an interested 

 visitor at the Chicago automobile show 

 this week and made several trips look- 

 ing over the new models of electric 

 and gasoline cars with the idea of in- 

 vesting in one of each kind. 



The announced change of location of 

 several growers who have bfeen selling 

 their stock on the market did not ma- 

 terialize February 1, but Sol Garland, 

 who, it is understood, formerly shipped 

 to Percy Jones, is now selling his own 

 stock, having rented space from Jones. 

 Mary Garland is in charge of the stand. 



The Chicago Florists' Club will hold 

 its regular monthly meeting at the 

 Union restaurant tonight, February 6.

The Market. 



Business continues fair in spite of 

 the unusual weather conditions pre- 

 vailing. Eoses continue scarce, prac- 

 tically all growers being off crop. 

 American Beauties are in short sup- 

 ply and have advanced in price con- 

 siderably. Taft, Sunburst and Ward 

 are all popular. Killarney and Pink 

 Killarney have been selling well, short 

 stock being in particularly good de- 

 mand. Long-stemmed flowers have also 

 made better money. Carnations are 

 weaker and a limited number only 

 reach the highest quoted prices. All 

 the Enchantress varieties. Beacon and 

 Winsor are now bursting badly with 

 the majority of growers. Gloriosa, 

 White Wonder, Pink Delight and Be-
