C. W. McKellar has had Mexican ivy 

 finely bronzed by the cold weather in 

 California. He says it has been in de- 

 mand for wreaths and would be a fine 

 seller if it could be had regularly. 



Winterson's Seed Store is busy pack-

 spring catalogue. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 says he never has seen a time when 

 bulbous stock, and especially tulips, 

 sold so cheaply as in the last week. 



The E. C. Amling Co. predicts that 

 within a few seasons the present type 

 of winter-flowering sweet peas will 

 have been driven from the market by 

 the winter-blooming Spencers. G. Swen- 

 son, at Elmhurst, was the first of the 

 Amling growers to produce a true win- 

 ter-blooming Spencer, but now several 

 growers are picking in considerable 

 quantity.

0. Johnson, of the Batavia Green- 

 house Co., comments on the money sav- 

 ing qualities of the improved corru- 

 gated fiber board boxes now on the 

 market. Batavia is nearly forty miles
