The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBEB 26, 1916. 



city will be well represented, the 

 Bloomington show being the only one 

 of importance in the state this year. 

 The regular meeting of the Chicago 

 Florists' Club has been postponed to 

 November 16, especially to permit mem- 

 bers to attend the Bloomington ex- 

 hibition. 



Krowka Bros., 5038 Lincoln avenue, 

 whose nine houses are planted exclu- 

 sively with mums, are enjoying a good 

 season. They are cutting and shipping 

 heavily and the quality of the stock is 

 excellent. 



Louis Sielsky, who for the last three 

 years has been connected with the 

 Swain Nelson & Sons Co., has opened 

 a flower store at 6747 South Halsted 

 street. It is known as the Marquette 

 Floral House. 



The Paradise Flower Shop, owned by 

 William A. Dolezal, moved last week 

 from 6534 South Halsted street to 6824 



* South Halsted street,' a better location 

 in every respect. 



Gus Marshall, formerly connected 

 with Reed & Keller, of New York, last 

 week joined the sales force of the Amer- 

 ican Bulb Co. 



Were it not for Peter Reinberg's 

 presence on the committee, the trade 

 would not be represented in the cam- 

 paign that is being waged for the tax 

 amendment to the state constitution. 

 Vote "Yes" on the proposition; it will 

 be on the little ballot November 7. 



Tuesday was a day of special good 

 cheer at the pleasant home ot N. J. 

 Wietor on Ridge avenue, for October 

 24 is the anniversary of Mr. Wietor 's 

 birth, in 1872, and it always is cele- 

 brated. 



After having driven for a season a 

 Packard Twin Six with 125-inch wheel- 

 base, E. C. Amling likes it so well he 

 wants a larger one and has ordered the 

 1917 model 135-inch car. Of course the 

 old one goes in on the deal. 



Three bird cages, decorated with flow- 

 ers and ribbon to make a color har- 

 mony, this week have occupied a win- 

 dow of the Fleischman Floral Co. They 

 have served to stop many passers-by, 

 who noted not only the artistic effect 

 but that the songsters seemed to be 

 having the time of their lives. 



Ben Gage, of Peterson Nursery, is 

 superintendent of parks in Wilmette 

 and C. J. Strombach is head gardener. 

 The sanitary district trustees last week 

 told them to go ahead and make a park 

 of the banks of the drainage canal 

 through their town. 



The store at 57 East Monroe street is 

 chaos, being fitted up as the permanent 

 home of the Bohannon Floral Co., which 

 expects to open there early in No- 

 vember. 



N. J. Kruchten, 5308 North Western 

 avenue, is cutting 8,000 to 12,000 carna- 

 tions per week. Although carnations 

 are rather late this year, due to the un- 

 usual conditions which obtained during 

 the summer, Mr. Kruchten 's stock has 

 not suffered, the crop being only a trifle 

 late and of high quality. 



Matthew G. Kill, head draftsman for 

 the John C. Moninger Co., last week 

 joined the ranks of the benedicts. His 

 bride was Miss Pauline Kramer. 



Alois Frey, of Crown Point, says he 

 never before has received such good 

 prices for short-stemmed snapdragons of 

 the first crop. 



The John C. Moninger Co. is building 

 extensions to three of the greenhouses at 

 the University of Chicago. The struc- 

 tures are temporary ones, to house cer-
