ing orders except with the small-flow- 

 ered varieties, which are not popular. 

 Gardenias, too, have been in demand, 

 but the supply of these is as erratic as 

 the demand and the two seldom coin- 

 cide. Gardenias are one crop not over- 

 done here; eastern stock is received in 

 considerabJe quantity. Violets, which 

 now are of fine quality, are selling at 

 the best prices of the season and have 

 cleaned up since Thanksgiving. Easter 

 lilies have turned scarce, though there 

 are reports of large cuts for the near 

 future. Stevia is everywhere. Paper 

 Whites are more abundant. The mod- 

 erate supplies of sweet peas sell well. 

 Small receipts of good antirrhinum 

 move quickly, especially the pink. Some 

 fine bouvardia sells well. 



The market December 2 felt the ef- 

 fects of the change in administration. 

 The county offices were full of flowers 

 and the judges in the Municipal Court 

 were even more lavishly remembered. ' 



November Weather. 



November was considerably warmer 

 and drier than usual, jn the Chicago dis- 

 trict, with abundant sunshine, ex- 

 tremely favorable weather for growing. 

 The mean temperature was 43 degrees,- 

 being 8 degrees higher than last year. 

 The precipitation was 1.4.'5 inches, as 

 compared with 3.27 inches last year. 

 The duration of sunshine averaged six 

 hours and twelve minutes per day, be- 

 ing sixty-three per cent of the possible 

 sun. The normal for November is 

 forty-nine per cent of the possible. 



Various Notes. 



It is announced that .January 2, 1913, 

 the Geo. M. Garland Co., Des Plaines, 

 111., will open a northwestern branch in 

 Minneapolis in charge of S. A. Jamie- 

 son, well known to the trade in this 

 vicinity through his work for the Uni- 

 versal Portland Cement Co. Mr. Jamie- 

 son is taking up his new connection 

 with much enthusiasm and it is re- 

 ported the Garland Co. has plans under 

 consideration for other extensions of its 

 enterprise this season. 



Joseph Shouten, formerly with the 

 Geo. Wittbold Co., entered the employ 

 of the E. Wienhoeber Co. December 2 

 and as ill luck would have it was caught 

 for a two weeks ' term of jury service 

 the same day. 



O. W. Frese says there has been no 

 breathing spell in the last week. A. F. 

 Poehlmann is doing jury service. 



It is requested that special attention 

 be called to the change in meeting place

of the Chicago Florists' Club for to- 

 night's session, December 5. Because 

 the large room at the Union restaurant 

 was not available until 8:.'{0 it was 

 thought advisable to hold the meeting 

 in the Crystal Room, at the Hotel Sher- 

 man, Randolph and Clark streets, where 

 the business session will be called to 

 order at 7:30. This is election night. 

 Following the election, R. Vincent, Jr.,
