The Florists' Review 



Apbil 13. 1916. 



a Moline salesman. Joseph Foerster, 

 John Michelsen, Ernst Amling, Paul 

 Weiss, Hector E. Elliott and Frank 

 Schramm are a few of those in the 

 trade who drive Moline-Knights. 



There will be no shortage of valley 

 for a time at least, as H. N. Bruns 

 recently received three carloads of pips 

 from Hamburg. 



A number of florists and their fami- 

 lies were to be seen in the large audi- 

 ence at the laying of the corner-stone 

 of the new Trinity Evangelical Luther- 

 an church in Oak Park April 9. Among 

 them were H. N. Bruns, E. C. Amling, 

 G. Swenson, Alex. Henderson, Paul 

 Weiss and John Michelsen. The pastor 

 of the church, Rev. J. M. Bailey, is 

 Mr. Amling 's son-in-law. 



The basket -weaving force of the A. L. 

 Randall Co., so F. M. Johnson says, now 

 numbers sixty men and is being en- 

 larged as fast as trained workers can 

 be found. Two carloads of willow 

 were received this week. 



Now that the frost is out of. the 

 ground, work is being rushed on George 

 C. Weiland's new range of Foley rose 

 houses at Niles Center. 



That section of the Democracy in 

 which Carter Harrison and Peter Rein- 

 berg are leaders had a great success at 

 the election April 11. Mr. Reinberg was 

 elected delegate to the national con- 

 vention by a vote of 5,816 to 5,443 for 

 the redoubtable Mr. Weber. 



W. J. Keimel and Guy French re- 

 turned April 10 from thn Philadelphia 

 and New York shows. August Poehl- 

 mann also attended both shows, but 

 returned a day or two earlier. 



Last season's success with Darwin 

 tulips has more than been repeated by 

 Sam Pearce, who is closing one of the 

 best bulb years in his experience. 



The sympathy of the trade goes to 

 J. Mergen, whose only remaining son, 

 Ernest, a young man of 22 years, died 

 April 6, of tuberculosis, at the Naper- 

 ville sanatorium. The funeral was held 

 from the home, 2025 West Twelfth 

 street. Interment was in Oakridge 

 cemetery. 



W. E. Tricker, of Arlington, N. J., 

 will do a large job of landscape work 

 on the grounds of the Peabody man- 

 sion at Hinsdale this summer and is 

 expected here this week or next to 

 start the work. 



Chicago looks so good to John W. 

 Mclntyre, formerly in business for him- 

 self in Philadelphia, that he is thinking 

 seriously of locating here. 



Eric Johnson, of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., has the sympathy of his many 

 friends in the trade in the loss of his 

 sister, Evelyn Johnson, April 4. Four 

 weeks ago Miss Johnson, who was 24 

 years of age, was taken to the West 

 Suburban hospital to undergo an opera- 

 tion for a growth in her throat. The 

 operation appeared to be successful in 

 every respect, and she was convalescing 

 so rapidly that for three days preced- 

 ing her death she was able to walk 

 about in her room. But April 4 she suf- 

 fered a sudden relapse, which 8i)eedily 

 terminated in death. Funeral services 

 were held in Eric Johnson's home, 1439 

 Thome avenue, April 9. Interment was 

 in Mount Olive cemetery. Frank Mc- 

 Cabe, of the A. L. Randall Co., was one 

 of the pallbearers. 



There is no longer any doubt that 

 the trade can boast a star bowler of 

 the first magnitude. Last week Fred 

 Price, of the J. A. Budlong house, bowl- 

 ing in the North Chicago league, aver-
