 the new -.Union station built on T\vjpjftlj 

 street. .„r.. o"' 



J. E. Hauswirth, who is employed at 

 Fort Wayne, has filed a petition in bank- 

 ruptcy there. He has scheduled liabili- 

 ties of $3,769.85 and assets of $237. 



Weiland & Rlsch report that Evans- 

 ton florists have had trouble that they 

 lay to calcium hypochloride put into 

 the city water to prevent the spread of 

 typhoid fever. Several growers will 

 put down wells. 



James Leveson, Clark and Huron 

 streets, has broken into the daily pa- 

 pers over family difficulties. 



John P. Smith, J. P. Wagner and 

 Charles Hengesch are the incorporators 

 of the Chicago Greenhouse Vegetable 

 Growers' Association, organized to pro- 

 mote business interests. 



There was a quarterly meeting of the 

 Horticultural Society of Chicago at the 

 office of Mt. Greenwood cemetery in the 

 First National Bank building March 1, 

 to inaugurate plans for boosting the 

 spring show now less than a month 

 away. 



A. T. Pyfer, of the Chicago Carna- 

 tion Co., arranged for a special car on 

 the Alton to carry the Chicago visitors 

 to the Peoria convention March 4. 



N. J. Wietor says that this is prov- 

 ing one of the best seasons on record 

 in the carnation cuttings department of 

 Wietor Bros. 



Geo. Reinberg now is giving the 

 greater part of his time to the affairs 

 of the Lincoln Supply Co. His son now 

 is associated in the business with him. 



John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., notes as the most remarkable fea- 

 ture of last week's business that their 

 total sales showed one of the best in- 

 creases made this year, in spite of the 

 low price of violets. He says they are 

 getting better prices for carnations 

 than last year and that the sweet peas 

 return more money because of better 

 quality. 



Kyle & Foerster say that Lent is 

 comparing well with last year. 



Zech & Mann report satisfaction with 

 present conditions. 



John Kruchten says his crops are now 

 pretty well off, but that he expects 

 good cuts for Easter. 



The February weather was almost ex- 

 actly normal, except in the matter of 

 sunshine, of which there was nearly 

 thirty per cent more than usual in 

 the month. The average was seven 

 hours per day, which is sixty-six per 

 cent of the possible, with fifty per cent 

 the usual record for February. 



Phil Schupp, manager of J. A. Bud- 

 long's, reports that Beauties are show- 

 ing a tendency to improve with better 

 weather conditions. Valley is more in 

 demand than is usual during Lent, 

 which, according to Mr. Schupp, must 

 be due to increased popularity of cor- 

 sage bouquets. 



If corrugated boxes can be Tised ad- 

 vantageously for overnight shipments 

 into the Chicago market, from New 

 Castle and Richmond, why can't they 

 be used to advantage on overnight 

 shipments going out! The customers 

 could bundle them and freight them 

 back. Think of the saving, on express 

 and on boxes 1

 character. The prices are no higher than 

 common, ordinary ribbons.
