The Florists' Review 



DeciSMBBB 7, 191U. 



MeAdams, who was brought up in the 

 business and who is widely known in 

 Chicago. She is at present completing 

 a course in landscape architecture at 

 the University of Illinois. 



This week 's obituary column contains 

 notices of the deaths of two well known 

 Chicagoans. 



A. Miller has returned from another 

 of his trips among bulb forcers. He 

 says he finds a large number of usually 

 prosperous florists are not sharing in the 

 good times we read about in the daily 

 papers. Many, he says, failed to realize 

 their usual income during the summer, 

 due to weather conditions, and now are 

 forced to meet greatly increased ex- 

 pense because of the extremely high 

 price of coal. Mr. Miller fears it will 

 be a lean year for many florists. 



A. T. Pyfer & Co. have a special man 

 in Michigan who is making selections of 

 winterberries for them. 



Fred Longren is in Chicago. He ex- 

 pects to remain until after the first of 

 the year. 



The Leslie Floral Co., which recently 

 opened a store at 6 East Monroe street, 

 reports that business is even better than 

 they had looked for. Among the novel- 

 ties handled by the company are ankle 

 bouquets, of which several have been 

 sold. 



According to A. T. Pyfer, Pyfer & 

 Olsem, Wilmette, 111., will have a nice 

 lot of cyclamens, begonias j^nd jcherries 

 for Christmas this year and are looking 

 forward to a fine business. 



Weiland & Risch have a large batch, 

 of poinsettias in their Evanston green- 

 houses this season, in unusually good 

 condition. 



Visitors. 



C. G. Pahud, of Indianapolis, made 

 the rounds of the market early this 

 week, sizing up the sources of supply 

 and placing orders for Christmas 

 novelties. 



Mrs. Lord, of Lord 's Flower Room, 

 Topeka, Kan., has been in the market 

 this week, buying Christmas stock. She 

 says conditions never were better in 

 her city and she looks for banner busi- 

 ness. 



Edward Amerpohl, of .Janesville, 

 spent December 4 in the market on one 

 of his periodical buying expeditions. 



The presence of the following visitors 

 was noted last week : Robt. Karlstrom, 

 representing A. N. Pierson, Inc., Crom- 

 well, Conn.; Mrs. A. C. Rott, Joliet, 111.; 

 Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Washburn, Blooming- 

 ton, 111.; Mrs. .1. A. Rovatzos, Minne- 

 apolis, Minn. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Last week surely was a busy one for 

 growers, wholesalers and retailers. From 

 all reports, the Thanksgiving day trade 

 was better than for some years. The 

 weather was ideal and much transient 

 trade was done. The market was well 

 supplied with all seasonable flowers and 

 prices were within reach of all. There 

 was a scarcity of violets, however, and 

 these weVe in big demand. Stock 

 cleaned up nicely, especially the fancy 

 mums, for which there was a good de- 

 mand. Nagoya, the Eatons and Seide- 

 witz sold well at top prices. Bonnaf- 

 fons, too, cleaned' up nicely. In roses 

 Russell and Ophelia had a big call and 

 good prices were obtained for the fancy 

 grades. Extra faney Beauties cleared
