Mention The Review ■when yon wrltP. 



had the competition of John C. Mi- 

 chal's new store almost directly across 

 the street, selling the output of the 

 greenhouses on Stony Island avenue, 

 but a little extra push seems to have 

 developed enough new business to keep 

 everybody busy. 



Field carnation planting was finished 

 by Tony Gabel, of the Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., Morton Grove, May 9. Thomas 

 Conlon reports an ever increasing de- 

 mand for calceolarias. To gain an in- 

 timate knowledge of his future life 

 work, Earl Poehlmann, son of August 

 Poehlmann, is working diligently pot- 

 ting plants. 



The first cape jasmines to reach the 

 market were received last week by the 

 A. L. Bandall Co. Eric Johnson re- 

 ports a friendly reception for them, 

 and thinks they will prove a most pop- 

 ular Memorial day flower. 



At Winterson's Seed Store nineteen 



Sieces of German mail were received 

 [ay 15. All the flower seeds from 

 Germany have arrived except a ship- 

 ment of special stock taken by the Brit- 

 ish off the Danish steamer ■ United 

 States. 



A new delivery car has appeared on 

 the streets bearing the name of William 

 Vlk, 5118 South Ashland avenue. 



A shipping business for Mothers' day 

 week that runs ahead of that for Christ- 

 mas and far beyond that for Easter is 

 reported for the John Kruchten Co. 



As a means of reducing the cost of 

 cartdge, the interests in A. Henderson 

 & Co. some time ago incorporated the 

 Old Fort Express Co., with office at 120 

 East Illinois street. The equipment 

 has been added to steadily, a motor 

 truck having been bought this spring, 

 and the cartage of a number of con- 

 cerns, including several in the trade, 

 now is taken care of. 



The property of Pyfer & Olsem, at 

 Wilmette, is enhancing in value because 

 of the rapidity with which the neigh- 

 borhood is being built up, and A. T. 

 Pyfer says the retail business is im- 

 proving for the same reason. 



H. B. Kennicott, of Kennicott Bros. 

 Co., says he was satisfied with the 

 Easter business, but much to his sur- 

 prise the Mothers' day business was 

 even greater.

 name of the Flower Market. The store 

 was started as a temporary one at 

 Easter, 1915, and was successfully 

 maintained for more than a year. 



After looking over the books, AUie 

 Zech, of Zech & Mann, reports a gain 

 of twenty-five per cent for this Mothers' 

 day over that of last year. 



A. A. Lavaque, of the Pittsburgh 

 Plate Glass Co., who is said to sell more 

 greenhouse glass than any other one man 

 in America, will visit the Pacific coast 



during the latter part of June as a 

 member of the drill team of Englewood 

 Comraandery. The team was nosed out 

 of the national championship at the 

 last triennial conclave and hopes to 

 win this time. 



C. L. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash- 

 burn, thinks Mothers' day was more

 fifty per cent better than a year ago.
