tributed a car of holly for Thanks- 

 giving. 



Joseph Ziska says the demand for 

 ■wire work was never better, but it is 

 his idea that more thought is being ap- 

 plied to the creation of new designs 

 than in previous years. 



Henry Wittbold 's staff is experien- 

 cing the usual pre-holiday rush on deco- 

 rations and H. H. Wilkerson says it 

 will be one grand hustle until after 

 Christmas, with department store work, 

 weddings, etc. The arrival of a second 

 car of wild smilax was reported by Mr. 

 Wilkerson. 



Fred Stielow, of Niles Center, a 

 director in the Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association, says he is just coming into 

 crop with his new houses of Killarneys 

 and Richmonds. This is the second year 

 for the new houses and Mr. Stielow says 

 it looks like even a better one than 

 the first. 



Enchantress, White Enchantress, Vic- 

 tory and Nelson Fisher are the vari- 

 eties that were favored by Nick Kruch- 

 ten this year. He consigns his cut to 

 his son, John Kruchten. 



A. C. Kohlbrand pointed with special 

 pride to bouvardia, pink and white, on 

 the shipping tables of the E. C. Amling 

 Co. December 2, saying it was the best 

 he ever had seen so early in the season. 



P. J. Foley was summoned to court 

 December 2 as a government witness 

 in the Fitzpatrick case, Mr. Fitzpatrick 

 holding twenty-five shares of stock of 

 the Foley Mfg. Co., but Mr. Foley's 

 evidence was in favor of the defendant, 

 who was an old schoolmate. 



Bassett & Washburn say they cleaned 

 out of mums entirely last week, the 

 last being cut November 29. 



Erne & Klingel report the arrival of 

 their first mignonette November 30. Mr. 

 Erne says Thanksgiving week was the 

 best since they entered the local whole- 

 sale field and adds that with Christmas 

 on hand his firm expects to close the 

 year with a fine record. 



A visit to the establishment of Sol- 

 Garland, at Des Plaines, showed several 

 houses of carnations which Mr. Garland 

 expects to be ready right after the holi- 

 days. His carnations are late, owing to 

 some difficulty early in the season, but 

 when they do come will be about the 

 finest he ever grew. He is shipping an 

 excellent quality of violets and cut two 

 houses of fine mums for Thanksgiving. 



"Best Thanksgiving week for a long 

 while" is the way Kyle & Foerster put 

 it. 



J. A. Budlong has prepared for an 

 even larger demand of lily of the val-
