I'he Weekly FloristsVReview* 



NOVEMBER 3, 



for some time, but is up and around 

 again. Franlt tallis of taking a run up 

 to Slater, i.io., for a weeli's rest. 



J. M. Jordan, one of our oldest and 

 best known florists, is reported very 

 sick and not able to be out of bed. The 

 last report was that he was somewhat 

 better, but still a very sick man. 



Our visitor this week is S. S. Skidel- 

 sky, selling palms and florists' sup- 

 plies. Mr. S. reports trade good in his 

 line. 



Executive Committee Meeting. 



The executive committee held a 

 meeting Saturday night at Jordan's. 

 All arrangements as to decorating the 

 hall have been made. The committee 

 on decorating are requested to be at 

 the Coliseum next Sunday morning. 

 The advertising committee reported 

 arrangements had been made in re- 

 gard to advertising the show. The 

 large canvas sign has been placed at 

 Twelfth and Olive streets, size of sign, 

 18x25 feet. The judges will be ap- 

 pointed at next meeting of committee, 

 which will be next Thursday afternoon 

 at 2 o'clock. It was also decided to 

 judge all plants, cut flowers, table 

 decorations and designs by a scale of 

 points. 



Bowling. 



The Bowling Club had a slim at- 

 tendance on Monday night. Only five 

 members showed up at rolling time 

 and rolled six fair, average games. 

 Mr. S. S. bkidelsky came in and 

 rolled the last Ave games with us. 

 This ended the October series. The 

 Club will not roll on next Monday 

 night, as all hands will be too busy 

 making preparations for the show, 

 which opens on Tuesday night. Fol- 

 lowing are the scores and averages of 

 the six games rolled:

HEATING DELIVERY WAGONS. 



Several Chicago florists heat their 

 plant delivery wagons in winter with 

 what is known as the "Lehman heater," 

 and find it very satisfactory and not ex- 

 pensive. These heaters consist of a me- 

 tallic case in which is a drawer. There 

 are supplied with the heater suitable 

 sized pieces of a composition called 

 "Lehman's coal." A piece of this is 

 placed in the fire until It is heated to 

 redness and is then placed in the draw- 

 er of the heater,which will give off heat 

 for from 12 to 14 hours. One of these 

 heaters will keep frost out of a tight 

 covered wagon during an ordinary de- 

 livery in not too severe weather if the 

 wagon is warm to start with, and two 

 heaters will make safe delivery possible 

 in very sharp weather. These heaters 

 are made by Lehman Bros., 10 Bond 

 St., New York. Mr. James W. Er- 

 ringer, 297 Wabash ave., Chicago, is 

 ■western sales agent.
