SWEET PEAS 



We call your attention to these because of the increase in supply of the better ones as the favorable weather conditions

F., will deliver one of his stereopticon 

 lectures. 



Tim Matchen says St. Valentine 's day 

 surprised him; the run of telegraph or- 

 ders February 12 was extremely heavy. 



F. M. Longfellow is the latest addi- 

 tion to the staff of the A. L. Kandall 

 Co. He is at work on the catalogue, 

 which will be much the largest the con- 

 cern ever has issued. Many new lines 

 will be included. 



The Cook County Florists' Associa- 

 tion holds its annual meeting tonight, 

 February 20. 



Winterson's Seed Store reports hav- 

 ing doubled its mailing list from last 

 year's order sheets. 



It is announced that James Novak, 

 who for some time has been foreman for 

 Wietor Bros., has made an arrangement 



to take hold of the Fred Weber estab- 

 lishment on shares. Mr. Weber was a 

 Beauty specialist and Mr. Novak also is 

 an expert with Beauties. The Weber 

 place has been run by Mrs. Weber and 

 her son since Mr. Weber's death last 

 spring. 



E. F. Winterson thinks that single 

 violets were the biggest seller for Valen- 

 tine 's day. 



A. T. Pyfer, of the Chicago Carna- 

 tion Co., comments on the extent to 

 which growers of rooted cuttings arc 

 now shipping by mail. Under the par- 

 cel post law the rates are the same as 

 in other seasons, but the advertising the 

 parcel post has given the mail service 

 has caused a great increase in its use. 



N. J. Wietor says that he believes 

 that in a few more years St. Valen- 



of the biggest 



tine's day will be one 

 special flower days. 



E. F. Winterson, Jr., states that be is 

 making arrangements for the Chicago 

 Florists' Club's bowlers to go to Mil- 

 waukee at an early date and would like 

 to hear from those who will accompany 

 the party. 



O. W. Frese says Valentine's day 

 must be recorded as distinctly good. He 

 reports much trouble through the non- 

 arrival of mail orders, especially on 

 Sundays and holidays, until too late for 

 shipment on the train wanted, and he 

 is putting in outgoing letters a circular 

 advising customers of the Poehlmann 

 Bros.- Co. not to rely on the mail but to 

 telegraph orders wanted for shipment 

 Sundays or holidays. In the supply 

 department T. E. Waters says Poehl-
