land Co., made a flying trip to Logans- 

 port, Ind., December 10, and was back 

 on the job again at Des Plaines Mon- 

 day morning. He says business is so 

 good that considerable night work has 

 been necessary, 



G. H. Pieser, president of Kennicott 

 Bros. Co., has taken his turn on the 

 sick list, E. E. Pieser having returned 

 to duty. . 



Probably the largest bunch of mistle- 

 toe ever seen in Chicago hangs in the 

 store of the A. L. Bandall Co., though 

 the only ladies who venture near it are 

 the ones who keep retail flower stores. 

 A large sale for latlrel wreathing is 

 reported as a substitute for bouquet 



green. 



E, F. Winterson Co. and Winterson's 

 Seed Store have stocked heavily of 

 boxwood and laurel wreathing, antici- 

 pating a big call as soon as the scarcity 

 of lycopodium becomes recognized. 



Frank Ayers, right-hand man for 

 C. W. McKellar, returned to duty this 

 week after several days' illness. 



George Eazakles, who keeps a flower 

 store at 78 Madison street, is credited 

 with having won $700 on a quail-eating 

 contest, in which he was successful. 



The building of an Illinois Central 



station at Monroe street now seems an 

 immediate prospect, and will do much 

 for the location of the Bohannon Floral 

 Co. 



When seen at Kyle & Foerster's De- 

 cember 10, Mr. Kidwell, of Kidwell & 

 Ellsworth, said that they are preparing 

 to erect a boarding house at Wellworth 

 Farms, instead of adding to the glass 

 this season. They hope to secure a 

 switch for the handling of coal through 

 giving the Burlington railroad the use 

 of some land it needs. Cartage costs 

 them $1 a ton and they use about twen- 

 ty-five cars a season. 



Hoerber Bros, are so well pleased 

 with the way their crops have come on 

 in the last few weeks, and with the 

 way the business has been going, that 

 they are again thinking of adding to 

 their glass. The next addition will be 

 ten houses, each 300 feet long, for 

 Beauties, but it was not expected to 

 do anything on them until one year 

 hence. 



George Pieser is assisting in the holi- 

 day rush at W. J. Smyth's. 



Mr. Loeber, well known in the green- 

 house buiMing trades, is now with the 

 Foley Mfg. Co. 



M. C. Gunterberg is among those of 



the wholesalers who plan a little ex- 

 pansion for the near future, referring 

 especially to an incursion into the ship- 

 ping field. 



C. A. Samuelson says business has 

 been excellent for some time, but that 

 it has been mostly funeral work, with 

 much less than the usual social activity. 



Mrs. George Hartung, wife of the 

 Kensington florist, has been ill for sev- 

 eral days. 



Miss Josephine Then's picture as the 

 girl detective was published in the Sun- 

 day papers because she caused the 

 arrest of two men, whom she charged 

 with stealing flowers from Anton 

 Then 's greenhouses. 



The names of W. L. Hoerber and 

 J. H. Hoerber appear in the lists of 

 contributors to the United Charities. 



John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., says Christmas orders far excepd 

 those booked at this date in any pre-
