The Florists' Review 



", . .' rVS'.V 



JnilrB 29, 191B. 



carnations have been thrown out and 

 the space used for Ophelia and Mrs. 

 Bussell, 15,000 additional rose plants. 

 July 15 the firm will take over by lease 

 the Peter Nipper vegetable houses in 

 Evanston and will proceed to bench in 

 them 75,000 carnation plants. 



Commenting on the season's business, 

 H, Van Gelder, president of Percy 

 Jones, Inc., says June has been the best 

 month of the year in the matter of 

 percentage of gain over the correspond- 

 ing month of last season. 



Peter Eeinberg and Mrs. Eeinberg, 

 in a party that included Henry Kransz 

 and wife, left June 26 for a fortnight 's 

 tour of the Yellowstone. The daily 

 papers have been quoting Mr. Eeinberg, 

 speaking through the trade 's old friend, 

 Melville G. Holding, who now is chair- 

 man of the county civil service commis- 

 sion, as favoring setting the county's 

 clocks one hour ahead for the summer. 



The sixth annual stockholders' meet- 

 ing of the Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association will be held the afternoon 

 of July 6, at 182 North Wabash avenue. 

 Four directors are to be elected. 



Mrs. Eusriell never has made the hit 

 with N. J. Wietor that it has with 

 some growers and, as a consequence, 

 6,000 plants of it, in three houses, com- 

 prise the 1916-17 stock of Wietor Bros. 

 A bench for trial has been planted with 

 the new Dark Eussell, sent out this sea- 

 son by the Waban people, as Mr. 

 Wietor thinks a tendency to fade dur- 

 ing the season of heaviest production is 

 Eussell 's principal weakness. 



^ter a most exhausting month, 

 spent in his bed with inflammatory 

 rheumatism, Fred Nichols, of George 

 Eeinberg 's force, is again on the job. 

 He lost thirty pounds during his ill- 

 ness. 



One of the busy stores is the Floral 

 Art Shop, at 3262 Armitage avenue, 

 conducted by the Misses Gaetzinger. 

 The ladies are too thoroughly occupied 

 to come often to market, but their 

 buyer takes stock in large quantities. 

 Miss Buela Gaetzinger, however, finds 

 it difficult to refuse some of the offers 

 she receives to sing in downtown 

 cabarets, where her talents and per- 

 sonality are highly appreciated. 



Several cases of kentias and as- 

 pidistras from Ghent, Belgium, were 

 opened last week by Winterson's Seed 

 Store in perfect condition in spite of 

 the fact that they had been nearly two 

 months on the journey. 



George Welsh, 17-year-old son of 

 John Welsh, Sr., 4910 North Hoyne ave- 

 nue, was accidentally killed by a train 

 in Templeton, la., last week. The fu- 

 neral was at the home, June 25. 



Miss Mary Wittmer, who with her 

 sister conducts a range of glass and a 

 retail store in Winamac, Ind., will open 

 a retail store in the Willoughby build- 

 ing, on the corner of Michigan avenue 

 and Madison street, in the near future. 

 Miss Wittmer has been in the trade ten 

 years and has been successful. She will 

 be assisted in the new store by her 

 brother, Joseph. 



John Poehlmann has suffered a re- 

 lapse and is under the constant care of 

 physicians. June 21 he attained to his 

 forty-ninth year. 



Otto Amling, of Maywood, and his 

 family will spend the week end in Bat- 

 tle Creek, Mich., with Albert F. 

 Amling. Mr. Amling says the Albert 

 F. Amling Co. has finished planting, and 

 all interest is now centered on the con- 



A. T. Pyfer & Co.
