in this column even if he has to sub- 

 sidize the reporter with a 25-cent cigar. 



C. W. McKellar says that, far from 

 losing popularity, green carnations were 

 in greater demand this year than on 

 previous St. Patrick's days. 



John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., says that violets will be the whole- 

 salers' Easter problem, the crops far 

 exceeding those of any other Easter. 



Tim Matchen says Peter Eeinberg's 

 big motor truck has an even greater 

 advantage than the hour it saves each 

 trip from the greenhouses to the store 

 — the opportunity it gives for calling 

 in an extra load of stock whenever late 

 orders find the store ice-boxes empty. 



The most remarkable carnation 

 blooms ever seen in Chicago attracted 

 a steady stream of trade visitors to the 

 store of C. W. McKellar March 14 and 

 15. There were eight flowers. The ex- 

 hibitor was H. Both, of Lafayette, Ind. 

 Each bloom measured a full five inches. 

 It is a big, full, fringed red seedling, 

 about the color of Beacon, the boldest 

 and most striking carnation thus far 

 seen here. Mr. Both said he has about 

 300 plants, and that it is so vigorous 

 a grower that he can propagate a large 

 quantity .any time he gets ready to sell 

 the stock. Most of the local growers 

 had a look at it the two days the vase 

 'stood on Mr. McKellar 'a counter. Mr. 

 Iloth stated that it is not a chance seed- 

 ling, but the result of breeding up from 

 a cross made twelve years ago, the 

 variety being now in its sixth genera- 

 tion. He says he has received several 

 offers for the stock, but has not yet de- 

 cided on his course. He is building this 

 year. 



Paul M. Bryant, formerly with E. H. 

 Hunt and the Foley Mfg. Co., now is 

 associated with the Paine Co., in the 

 Corn Exchange building. 



W. E. Lynch, of A. L. Vaughan & Co., 

 says the present indications are that 

 the wild smilax shippers will be hard 

 pressed to fill orders after Easter. 



Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, was 

 walking around on crutches for a couple 

 of days last week as a result of in- 

 juries received from a fall. He was 

 storing boxes on top of the ice-box 

 when he missed his footing and fell. 



Harry Manheim, of Hoerber Bros., 

 said the advance orders on file for 

 Easter shipment were heavier than 

 usual this year. Long-stemmed lilies 

 were featured on most of them, it ap- 

 parently being the opinion of the out- 

 of-town customers that there would be 

 a shortage in these. 



AlLie Zech and "William Lorman won 

 the special prize offered to the two 

 Cook County Florists' Association bowl- 

 ers making the highest scores in open 

 competition.
