The Weekly Florists' Review. 



SEPTEMBER S, ls95. 



exemptions. Mr. Silliman has been 

 struggling along under a load of lia- 

 bilities for several years, hoping to 

 ev»ntuaHy pay his way out, but the 

 dull summer season brought matters 

 to a focus and he was obliged to sus- 

 pend. 



Mr. Paul Kreisman is now the pro- 

 prietor of the Morton Grove Green- 

 houses, formerly conducted by W. H. 

 Mueller. Mr. Paul Kopanka is the 

 foreman in charge. 



Mr. 0. P. Bassett has returned from 

 his summer vacation. He spent about 

 ten weeks at Delavan Lake, Wis. He 

 purchased a lively team of horses 

 there and put in a good deal of his 

 time driving, not infrequently covering 

 fifty miles in one day. He says the 

 roads are superb and that the long 

 drives were most enjoyable. 



Challenge Ventilator Bowling Cup 

 ■'55" Evans m.ade a spare in Chicago 

 last week. He is swinging around th-> 

 circle and will make a few strikes in 

 Michigan before returning to Rich- 

 mond where the factory is running 

 night and day. 



Mr. E. Wienhoeber returned fiom 

 his western trip last Friday. 



A. ,J. Schmidt and R. Mayer, until 

 lately employed in the greenhouses at 

 Lincoln Park, have leased the Reissig 

 greenhouses at Riverside and have 

 started reglazing the houses, which 

 were riddled by hail some weeks ago. 



Mr. E. Buettner and family are ex- 

 pected home from their European trip 

 in a week or so. 



There is a grand collection of fancy- 

 leaved caladiums to be seen now in the 

 conservatories at Washington Park. 



The effects of the recent stretch of 

 burning hot weather are very notice- 

 able in the parks. 



Mrs. Horton, of Bassett & Wash- 

 burn's, has returned from her vacation 

 and is again at her desk. 



Mr. C. B. Totman, of the Wooden 

 Goods Co., Minneapolis, Minn., was In 

 the city this week looking after the 

 trade in wooden labels. 



Mr. E. H. Hunt left last Tuesday 

 evening for northern Wisconsin, 

 where he will amuse himself shooting 

 big and little game and catching big 

 and little fish. He took his camera 

 along to verify the catches of the lat- 

 ter. 



The antics of the temperature the 

 last few days must have kept the 

 growers guessing. The fall from 90 

 degrees down to 52 degrees (which the 

 thermometer touched Tuesday night) 

 has certainly been very trying. 



A very effective large pillow recent- 

 ly noted was made largely of auratum 

 lilies and tuberose stalks, with valley 

 to add delicacy. The center (contain- 

 ing lettering) was of white asters. 



W. Kyle, of Kennicott Bros. Co., has 

 returned from his vacation and re- 

 ports having killed a black snake 7 

 feet 7 inches long. 



Mr. Peter Barr, the noted London 

 seedsman and florist, is in the city, 

 and last Sunday visited the countrv 

 place of Mr. W. C. Egan at Highland

The Right Cypress for 

 Greenhouse Material. 



Have you heard of Cypress Greenhouse Material that has not been satisfac- 

 tory ? If you have it does not follow that Cypress is not the best lumber to use. 

 There is White Cypress, Yellow Cypress and Red Cypress; there is Cypress that 

 grows on the high lands and Cypress that grows in the swamps. 



All of these different kinds are not suitable for greenhouse purposes. Do you 

 know which kind is best and do you know that kind when you see it.' If not you 

 would better buy from those that do know and will deliver exactly what they sell. 

 We introduced Cypress for greenhouse construction and pushed it to the front. 

 We know all about it. For fifteen years we have made a specialty of furnishing it, 

 and during this time we have built up a reputation that we can not afford to jeop- 

 ardize. We send out the best only.
