FBEE SEEDS MANN. 



Under a congressional frank, voters 

 in the Second Illinois district are re- 

 ceiving the following communication 

 from James R. Mann: 



Following my custom for years, I will during 

 the winter and spring months send out by mall 

 packages of flower and vegetable seed furnished 

 me by the U. 8. Department of Agriculture for 

 distribution. Each package of seed sent out 

 consists of five smaller packets, each containing 

 a different kind. 



I can send to you, or, at your request, to some 

 friend of yours, a package of either vegetable 

 or flower seed, as you may request, and I will 

 be glad to send to some others who may write 

 to me. 



Formerly I used to send out about 400 pack- 

 ages of flower seed each year; now I send out 

 several thousand packages and I am sure that 

 this distribution of seed has had much to do with 

 the increased interest in flowers and beautiful 

 yards In our part of the city. I want to help 

 make Chicago a town which is attractive in 

 appearance as well as important in affairs. 



If you desire the seed sent please write me at 

 Washington. 



And remember that I am always glad to be of 

 proper service to my constltnents and also tq 

 hear from them expressions concerning public 

 questions of the day. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



It may not be amiss to give a brief 

 account of the prospects for the holi- 

 days. Unless we get a good deal of 

 sunshine from now on conditions as re- 

 ported will not vary much. In pot plants 

 there seems to be a large supply of 

 stock, such as poinsettias, azaleas, 

 cyclamens, primroses and a few more. 

 Even though there is a large supply 

 wherever one goes, everyone is confi- 

 dent of selling out clean. The cut flower 

 proposition is somewhat different. In 

 roses, including Beauties, the supply 

 will be about equal to the demand. The 

 same can be said lof narcissi and 

 Bomans, sweet peas, valley and stevia. 

 The prolonged cloudy spell, which has 

 extended back for nearly two months, 

 has had its effects on carnations, and 

 from present reports the supply will be 

 inadequate. The supply of local-grown 

 violets will also run behind former sea- 



sons. 



Various Notes. 



Death has claimed two out of our 

 midst within a week. Miss Alma Wol- 

 gast, a promising young lady who for 

 80)ne years had charge of the flower 

 department of Horne Bros., died last 

 week; she was well known and liked by 

 all who had dealings with her, Mrs. 

 Anna B. Currie, widow of the late 

 James Currie, Sr., passed away Decem- 

 ber 11, aged 83 years. Interment took 

 place at Forest Home. 



The large hall of the Auditorium was 

 again tastefully decorated with palms, 

 pine trees, Alabama smilax, southern
