The Florists^ Review 





Sepibmbeb 7, 1916. 



plaji" The book contains over two 

 dozen color plates and is alive from 

 cover to cover. 



The advent of cooler weather has 

 been hailed with joy by the forces of 

 Peter Eeinberg, both store and green- 

 house, as it took just that to put their 

 roses in shape. An average of 3,500 

 Bussells are being cut daily. Felix 

 Reichling, manager of the store, re- 

 ports a brisk demand for the new rose, 

 Champ "Weiland. He thinks from what 

 he has seen of it that it will prove a 

 keeper not even second to Russell. At 

 the greenhouses all repairs are out of 

 the way and the crew is busy overhaul- 

 ing the boilers. 



That the Rainbow freesia will be a 

 regular item of stock in all bulb houses 

 next year, A. Henderson & Co. say, is 

 to be deduced from the number of 

 orders for stock apparently for grow- 

 ing by freesia bulb specialists. 



Business for the month of August 

 more than doubled that of the same 

 month in former years, report A. T. 

 Pyfer & Co. 



The Maywood Beauty specialists, the 

 Weiss & Meyer Co., are making an ex- 

 cellent start this season, the first crops 

 from young stock and from replanted 

 stock both being of excellent quality. 



After a brief vacation. Manager 

 Robert Northam, of the George Rein- 

 berg salesroom, is again found in his 

 accustomed place. 



A motor trip to Laporte, Ind., was 

 enjoyed over the holiday by Allie Zech, 

 of Zech & Mann. 



Now that W. J. McKey, bookkeeper 

 for "the John Kruchten Co., has gone on 

 a vacation, John Kruchten has his 

 hands full. 



Believing that the fall rush which is 

 on its way will be so heavy that florists 

 will see little of their homes, Anna 

 Tonner, of O. A. & L. A. Tenner, will 

 stay there during her vacation, which 

 begins the end of this week. 



After a week spent motoring in Wis- 

 consin, E.«F. Winterson, Jr., again is 

 on duty at Winterson 's Seed Store. 

 The fall bulb catalogue is being mailed. 



A 12-pound girl arrived last week at 

 the home of W. J. O 'Carroll, head of 

 the botanical garden and greenhouses 

 of the University of Chicago. 



Small and frequent doses of pleasure 

 are more profitable in the long run than 

 large and infrequent doses, in the 

 opinion of Paur"?Klingsporn, manager 

 of the Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- 

 ciation; so his vacation for this year is 

 taken a day or even a half day at a 

 time. 



Visitors. 



Ralph Zetlitz, of Lima, O., who is 

 a steady buyer in this market, was here 

 last week looking up stock and prices. 



William Freiling, of the Wealthy 

 Avenue Floral Co., Grand Rapids, 

 Mich., paid one of his infrequent visits 

 to this market September 2. 



That the office of the American 

 Bulb Co. is the exact center of the Chi- 

 cago market is the contention of A. 

 Miller, president of that concern, who 

 says the number of florists who step 

 in on buying bent exceeds his expecta- 

 tions. 



Members of the trade were visited 

 last week by F. C. Witthuhn, of Cleve- 

 land, O. 



After enjoying a fishing trip to Cas- 

 cade lake, near Sheboygan, Wis., E. W. 

 Kalisch, of the Kalisch Bros. Floral Co., 

 St. Louis, stopped in Chicago the first 

 part of this week to visit old friends.
