^^entlon The Review when von write. 



the grower* are in better shape than 

 usual; he anticipates an adequate sup- 

 ply and good quality. At Indianapolis, 

 Cleveland, Pittsburgh and De^oit he 

 found conditions the best within his 

 recollection — everybody doing an excel- 

 lent business and on the lookout for 

 good stock. Mr. Michelsen feels that, 

 while the E.^ C. Amling Co. will next 

 week close its best business year, it 

 stands on the threshold of an even bet- 

 ter one. 



Charles J. Strombach has been ap- 

 pointed head gardener in the parks of 

 Wilmette, where he will be right-hand 

 man for Benjamin E. Gage, of Peter- 

 son Nursery, who is superintendent. 



There is said to have been a con- 

 siderable quantity of Formosa lily 

 bulbs for Chicago on the S. S. Hawaii 

 Maru, which recently arrived with its 

 bulb cargo in rotted condition. 



The flower store at 421 West Sixty- 

 third street, which has been operated 

 by the Garfield Floral Co. since the 

 death of its former owner, William 

 W«il, April 5, 1915, has been bought by 



Abraham Iralson. As recently reported 

 in The Review, Mr. Iralson has been so 

 thoroughly pleased with the business 

 done by his store at 356 East Forty- 

 third street that he has been looking 

 about for another good location. 



Incidentally, Poehlmann Bros. Co. has 

 ordered Belgian azaleas to the number 

 of some 18,000. Frank Oechslin's or- 

 ders for this season's importation ag- 

 gregate close to 10,000. Whether all 

 the shippers will be able to satisfy 

 British, German and Holland require- 

 ments and get the stock on the boat 

 now is the question. 



Cutting back for the Christmas crop 

 of special roses recently has been en- 

 gaging the attention of Meyer & 

 Dramm Co., Elmhurst, where the sea- 

 son's prospects are considered the best 

 yet. 



Joseph Kohout is one of the growers 

 who never is too busy to keep accurate 

 count of his cut, sales and costs. He 

 knows exactly what it costs to grow 

 flowers and what each of his commis- 

 sion houses averages for them. 



There are new flower stores all over 

 town this fall, among them that of H' 

 Jacobsen, at 5558 Ellis avenue, opening 

 this week. 



The new Nilqs greenhouses of George 

 Weiland received their steam christen- 

 ing September 16, when the heat was 

 turned on for the first time. A few 

 more days and all the pumps will be 

 in and everything will be set for the 

 winter. Mr. Weiland, who was look- 

 ing over the market September 19, is 

 already making preparations to handle 

 the rush of Christmas business in Evan- 

 ston. 



There are some things yon can do 

 better than anyone else. There are 

 several of these things around a green- 

 house. So thinks John Sinner, of Sin- 

 ner Bros., and accordingly he spends 

 several hours of every morning in the 

 greenhouses before coming to his office 

 in the loop. 



Room 201 on the second floor of the 

 Atlas block has been in the hands of 

 carpenters for several days and will be 

 ready for occupancy this week , as t^
