indicate the cut flower department 

 would have the biggest Christmas busi- 

 ness in the history of the firm. 



Eed berries are a scarce article. 

 Vaughan & Sperry procured a ton by 

 express from California and had sold 

 them practically all before arrival. 



Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Kyle, of Kyle & 

 Foerster, were at Elizabeth, 111., De- 

 cember 18, to attend the funeral of a 

 relative of Mrs. Kyle, and when they 

 returned received word of the death of 

 the son of Mr. Kyle's brother. 



W. J. Smyth's new delivery automo- 

 bile is a great help in his holiday work. 

 He also keeps his touring car busily 

 occupied in the service of the store. 



John Kruchten paid a visit to some 

 of the growers the last Jew days to size 

 up prospects and says there will be no 

 scarcity for a few weeks, but that he 

 looks to see all the rose growers then 

 go off crop at one time. 



Winterson 's Seed Store says the baby 

 Christmas trees are the best retail seller 

 of the season's stock. 



J. A. Budlong received a big ship- 

 ment of valley pips from New York 

 December 19. 



Tim Matchen says Peter Eeinberg's 

 advance orders, especially for Rich- 

 mond, were the heaviest ever known at 

 Christmas. 



The Chicago Carnation Co. has been 

 exhibiting at its store sample blooms 

 of Princess Charming, the new light 

 pink carnation, of which it is growing 

 1,000 plants. The stem is exceptionally 

 strong and the calyx apparently is all 

 that could be desired, while the flower 

 is large and full. Mr. Pyfer says the 

 plants give every indication that as

 as with Enchantress. 



C. W. McKellar says there seldom 

 has been a time when so great a variety 

 of orchids has been available. The 

 time has gone by when cattleyas were 

 the only variety used by the retail 

 stores. 



Fred Hoerber, who lives at Des 

 Plaines and is constantly on the job 

 in the greenhouses, visited the store of 

 Hoerber Bros, one day this week and 

 says they appear to have got past all 



their troubles when they secured a 

 sufficient supply of water in their arte- 

 sian well. They had to go down nearly 

 1,200 feet, but now have a continuous 

 flow from a 3-inch pipe. 



Bassett & Washburn say they have 

 refused more orders for 0. P. Bassett 

 carnations at 15 cents each for Christ- 

 mas delivery than they were able to 

 accept, which was quite a few.
