The Florists^ Review 



■M?i- 



j-f JONB 8, 1916. 



and, now that the snaps are gone, there 

 is a special crop of forced Gladiolus 

 Myrtle, the first of this variety for 

 the season. 



An Overland truck, recently added to 

 the equipment of the National Plant & 

 Flower Co., S. Freund manager, has 

 proved of great assistance in handling 

 the spring plant trade. 



At the Wietor establishment rose 

 planting is well along, several houses 

 have been planted with mums and con- 

 siderable quantities of carnations have 

 been benched. This is one of the places 

 where excellent results have followed 

 growing carnations indoors all summer. 



The express companies still are los- 

 ing considerable quantities of peonies, 

 report Erne & Klingel, who say the 

 trouble seems to lie with the freight- 

 house men, who bury the boxes under 

 non-perishable shipments. 



May held many handicaps for the 

 market, but the E. C. Amling Co. re- 

 ports sales exceeding the best previous 

 May record by $11,400. 



It is the opinion of A. T. Pyfer that 

 practically all carnation growers have 

 cut less flowers this season than usual, 

 but that the average price for the sea- 

 son has been the best ever. There have 

 been no cleanup sales at a few cents 

 per bunch, to pull the average down. 



Downtown Chicago has more window 

 boxes this season than ever before, pos- 

 sibly due to encouragement by the Asso- 

 ciation of Commerce. In most cases the 

 Illinois self -watering box has been used. 



Young rose stock has sold unusually 

 well this year, according to Emil Eeich- 

 ling, who says the plants grown beyond 

 Peter Reinberg's own needs are prac- 

 tically all sold at this early date. 



L. H. Winterson recently severed his 

 connection with Winterson 's Seed Store 

 to go into the real estate business on 

 the northwest side. The firm is Winter- 

 son & Co., 4636 North Francisco avenue. 



W. S. Gilbert, at Glen EUyn, has had, 

 and still is having, for that matter, a 

 most successful season. His specialty 

 is sweet peas, but he also has done un- 

 usually well with pansies and daisies. 



Peter Pearson is preparing to fill 

 some of his vacant space with mums, 

 principally the Chieftain varieties. He 

 has had an excellent spring season. 



This is the forty-fourth year of Fred 

 Kanst's connection with the south 

 parks. And the parks never looked bet- 

 ter than they do this spring. 



Victor Young believes in advertising 

 and has demonstrated to his own satis- 

 faction that a well dressed window is 

 well worth while. Consequently the 

 window of Victor Young & Co. always 

 is up to the minute and attracts much 

 attention. Large Grecian columns of 

 terra cotta occupy the background and 

 make an ideal setting for plants and 

 cut flowers. 



The marriage of S. Y. Bloom, 822 

 East Sixty-third street, and Miss Alta 

 Ijevy will take place June 18. 



The lure of California proved too 

 strong for Mrs. E. L. Horton, of Bas- 

 sett & Washburn, and she started west 

 June 5 for a month's vacation. 



A visitor from a far land this week 

 was T. W. Eeed, manager of the Waco 

 Floral Co., Waco, Tex. Mr. Reed is 

 on his way home from a tour of Canada. 

 He reports general business conditions 

 in Texas the best in three years. 



P. L. McKee, of the American Green- 

 house Mfg. Co., returned from Lincoln, 

 HI., for the week end.
