The Florists^ Review 



JlINH 1, lUlO. 



Dolan wagon being used. Charles Erne 

 had a vision of 600 persons going down 

 street each with a bunch of free peo- 

 nies, but the police were so prompt that 

 only fifteen dozens were lost. 



A peony annex in the adjoining va- 

 cant store in the south end of the Le 

 Moyne building has been operated for 

 a week by the E. C. Amling Co., mer- 

 chandising large quantities of the 

 Evansville peonies. 



After all there were local peonies in 

 the market for Memorial day, the Ba- 

 tavia Greenhouse Co., forty miles west 

 of the city, cutting Old Red as* early as 

 May 28. 



The strike of express drivers has de- 

 layed the completion of the planting 

 of roses in the new range of houses of 

 the A. F. Amling Co., Maywood. The 

 big houses, with their 250,000 feet of 

 glass, are not quite finished, but have 

 been planted as fast as enclosed, plant- 

 ers and builders working together. 

 There still are a few thousand rose 

 plants, part to come from Richmond, 

 Ind., and part from Lincoln, 111., that 

 Mr. Amling has hesitated to order 

 shipped while express service is uncer- 

 tain. 



J. P. Degnan, of Winterson's Seed 

 Store, indicates a belief that the season 

 has been so backward during May that 

 the trade will find soft-wooded bedding 

 plants selling briskly during nearly all 

 of June this year. 



At 183 North Wabash avenue, in the 

 same building with Miller & Musser, 

 H. Bornhoff has leased a room as agent 

 for the Crowl Fern Co., of New Salem, 

 Mass. 



Alice, a carnation N. J. Wietor has 

 liked from the time he first saw it, is 

 steadily advancing in his esteem. 



The National Plant & Flower Co., S. 



Freund, manager, has completed its two 



new houses, making eight in all, and 



had them full of stock when the bed- 



..ding season began. When the plants 



.are turned into cash, the cash is to be 



turned into a new boiler capable of 



i handling the 23,000 feet of glass. 



. The handsome new residence on the 



Jackson boulevard frontage back ^f 



the greenhouses now is occupied by 



Frank Oechslin and wife and a house 



warming is in early prospect. 



This is the busiest year in the his- 

 tory of the John C. Moninger Co., ac- 

 co'-ding to R. E. Kurowski, who says a 

 night shift for continuous operation of 

 the factory is under contemplation. 



There is a world-wide interest in 

 Frey's Rainbow freesias, according to 

 A. Henderson, who says orders for trial 

 quantities are being received from 

 widely scattered sources. 



Our old business associate, John D. 

 Thompson, formerly of the Chicago Car- 

 nation Co., later founder of the Thomp- 

 son Carnation Co. at Joliet, who now 

 lives in Chicago, engaged in another 

 line of activity, had the great misfor- 

 tune to kill a 9-year-old boy on South 

 Halsted street May 24, by running over 

 him with his business auto. The cor- 

 oner's jury held Mr. Thompson blame- 

 less. 



The business of the George Wittbold 

 Co., established sixty years ago next 

 spring, has grown to the point where 

 eight trunk lines now lead to the tele- 

 phone switchboard in the Buckingham 

 place office. 



Richmond always has been grown 

 with special success at Peter Reinberg 's, 

 but never has there been a finer crop 

 of ground canes than was cut during 



A. T. Pyf er & Co.
