full volume of the heavy crops until the 

 middle of the week. The wholesalers all 

 anticipate heavy business until after New 

 Year's, by which time it is thought rose 

 crops will be on the down grade. Cat- 

 tleyas are much more abundant than they 

 have been for some weeks. Valley also is 

 plentiful, Eastern commission houses re- 

 consigning both cattleyas and valley to 

 this market. 



Various Notes. 



Sunday afternoon, December 25, just 

 as the last Christmas deliveries were 

 going out, an automobile crashed 

 through the Michigan avenue window 

 of W. J. Smyth. This is the second 

 time an automobile has gone through 

 the same window, and the third time 

 within a few months that he has lost 

 one of his big lights of glass. It almost 

 seems that it would be economy to 

 build a breakwater around his corner. 



G. H. Fieser, president of the Kenni- 

 cott Bros. Co., has been critically ill 

 for more than a week, but is now con- 

 valescing. 



In estimating the Christmas business 

 done in the Chicago market, E. C. Am- 

 ling says that he thinks Chicago this 

 Christmas handled one-third more flow- 

 ers than ever before, at prices probably 

 fifteen per cent lower than those of last 

 year, which figures out a rather good in- 

 crease in the money value of the total 

 sales. 



C. W. McKellar is suffering with an 

 extremely sore third finger on his left 

 hand. A small crack in the skin be- 

 came poisoned and has now become not 

 only painful, but somewhat alarming. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that the check

sent William Dittman for his last 

 week's sales was the largest ever sent 

 out from their house. Mr. Dittman 

 grows Beauties exclusively. In spite 

 of the lower average prices, the size of 

 his cut made his check several hundreds 

 of dollars larger than last year. 



A. C. Kohlbrand, chairman of the Flo- 

 rists ' Club's banquet committee, states 

 I that he has arranged with the Union 



restaurant for a dinner following the 

 club meeting January 5. It is to be a 

 Dutch treat, $1 per plate.
