Consequently it is to everyone's ad- 

 vantage to communicate with Mr. "Win- 

 terson as soon as he is sure of going. 



The Chicago club invites florists west 

 to join the Chicago party. The route 

 is through Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, 

 Rochester, Syracuse, Utica and Albany. 

 St. Louis and Cincinnati parties are ex- 

 pected to join the train en route and 

 delegations are expected to be taken on 

 at each stop. 



Various Notes. 



John Zech and Matt Mann have put 

 in a busy winter and are taking a 

 week's rest at New Orleans, seeing the 

 Mardi Gras. 



Warren S. Garland, at Des Haines, 

 says this has been the most prosperous 

 year he ever has had, and circumstances 

 bear out his statement, for it recently 

 was reported he was buying material 

 for two new greenhouses, and it now 



develops that he has invested another 

 part of the surplus in one of the extra 

 special grade of automobiles. 



With the aid of employees and cus- 

 tomers, C. L. Washburn celebrated his 

 fifty-third birthday anniversary Febru- 

 ary 27. A cake with the appropriate 

 number of candles was cut at the store 

 during the morning. 



Charles Hunt, who is the florists' in- 

 surance man, recently paid Sam Pearce 

 $125 sick benefit because of his siege 

 with rheumatism. 



The A. L. Eandall Co. savs the Febru- 

 ary supply business has run far ahead 

 of last year. In spite of the fact that 

 Easter is late, Easter orders are early. 



The George W^ttbold Co. had a big 

 decoration at the Blackstone hotel Feb- 

 ruary 28 for the McCormick ball. 



George Pieser is helping out in Win- 

 terson 's Seed Store, where they are get- 

 ting ready for the spring rush. L. H. 

 Winterson says there is already much 

 call for carnatjon dye, which they are 

 this year shipping in cans, disaster hav- 

 ing overtaken some of last year's ship- 

 ments in glass. 



W. F. Schofield has his new delivery 

 car on the street. 



Weiland & Kisch are not thoroughly 

 satisfied with the appearance of their 

 place at Evanston; it looks to them as 

 though some of the houses should be 

 double the present length. They are 

 figuring, but have settled on no plans. 



Eobert Northam, of George Rein- 

 berg's staff, was called home February 

 27 by word that his little daughter, 5 

 years old, had caught her hand in a 

 door jam and been painfully injured. 



Sol Garland, at Des Plaines, will 

 bench 1,000 Washington carnations next 

 season. 



The retailers will mostly stay in their 

 present locations during the next year. 

 The principal exception is O. J. I^ed- 

 man, whose main store on Michigan 

 avenue has been leased to parties in 

 another line. Mr. Friedman has not 

 yet located himself. 



The E. C. Amling Co. had a shipping 

 order for 20,000 sweet peas February 

 28, thought to be a record for a single 

 sale of this flower. 



Victor Bergman is happy over the 

 arrival of a son Februarv 21. Mrs.
