The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JUNE 29, 1899. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Trade has been very dull the past 

 week. 



A number of alterations are being 

 made at some of the retail stores. 

 Julius Wolff, Jr., 1716 North Ninth 

 street, is about to remodel his store, 

 enlarging his frontage and putting in 

 two bay windows 7x14 feet. The win- 

 dows are to be French plate and the 

 interior of store to be finished in 

 pressed steel. A new ice box, finished 

 in white tile, which will hold half a 

 ton of ice, will be added. S. R. Atkin 

 will remove to his new store, 1720 Co- 

 lumbia avenue, about September 1. S. 

 S. Pennock, the wholesale florist, is 

 enlarging his cold storage plant. 



Julius Kohler & Sons and Griffin 

 Bros., Frankford, report the past 

 spring as having been a good one. 



Julius Landgraff, superintendent of 

 the Jewish cemetery at Frankford, will 

 sail for Germany July 11. 



Among the visitors the past week 

 we noticed Mr. Julius Roehrs. Carlton 

 Hill, N. J., and D. B. Edwards, Atlan- 

 tic City, N. J. R. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



At a special meeting held at the 

 store of Huntington & Page, the presi- 

 dent appointed a committee consisting 

 of J. T. Huntington, R. A. McKeand 

 and F. B. Alley to make arrangements 

 for our annual picnic. 



The reception given by Mrs. Chas. 

 Rieman to the florists will be long re- 

 membered by all who were there. Ev- 

 eryone had been requested to bring a 

 yard of ribbon with their names at- 

 tached. Mrs. Rieman wanted them for 

 a friendship pole, and such an array 

 of ribbons! They were of all sizes and 

 all colors. In order to make things 

 interesting our hostess gave a prize to 

 the prettiest and one to the oddest rib- 

 bon. The first prize went to that mod- 

 est man, T. V. Page, and the second 

 to Mr. Bert Stanley. As Mrs. Rieman 

 is an expert at decorating, she fairly 

 out-did herself on this occasion, it be- 

 ing her last chance, as she said, in 

 that line. Everyone was busy play- 

 ing cards, checkers, etc., when our 

 hostess invited us to the dining hall 

 for supper, and such a spread! Every- 

 one said it was fit for a king. Mr. 

 Huntington officiated as toastmaster. 

 Our hostess was presented with a 

 beautiful chair and thanked us for the 

 beautiful surprise. After supper some 

 went to the card tables and played till 

 a late hour. But the sentiment of all 

 is, that they wished someone would 

 retire from business every week. • 



I cannot write these lines without 

 mentioning Fair Bank, where the boys 

 met on that evening. It is what it 

 called nature's beauty spot. The flower 

 beds are elegant, especially a bed of 

 Rex begonias being unusually fine. The 

 florist, Mr. Bert Stanley, deserves great 

 credit. FRED.
