JOS. HEINL & SONS 



Largest Growers in Central iilinois 



took advantage of the dull spell last 

 week to take a vacation. He made a 

 tour of the eastern shore of Maryland 

 in his automobile. On account of the 

 death of several prominent men, how- 

 ever, bysiness was not at all dull during 

 his absence. 



At the Baltimore Wholesale Florist & 

 Supply Co. store, they report that busi- 

 ness is splendid and that they have no 

 trouble in moving their supply daily. 

 When I called, everyone was busy un- 

 packing a large importation of ruscus 

 from Japan. This house is carrying a 

 good line of supplies this winter. 



At the Leo Niessen Co. place, al- 

 though it was about 4 in the afternoon 

 when I called, Mr. McKissick and four 

 clerks were still busy. They report a 

 splendid week's business, every one of 

 their customers having a big week on 

 funeral work. One funeral in particu- 

 lar that gave the retailers all they could 

 handle was that of W. F. Stone, for 

 this was more than a local affair. Mr. 

 Stone was the leader of the local Re- 

 publican party. There were many tele- 

 graphic orders for this funeral, and 

 Small's of Washington, sent an auto 

 truck of designs from that city. An- 

 other funeral at which many flowers 

 were used was that of Major Gibbs. 

 John Cook and Mary Johnston were 

 especially busy for this. 



These funerals, added to the regular 

 business, put good stock at a premium, 

 and kept the wholesale people, as well as 

 the growers, on the jump. Business is 

 starting up this season earlier and bet- 

 ter than I have ever seen it, and I have 

 never before seen such a spirit of opti- 

 mism as that which prevails in every 

 blanch of the business. Tate. 



Oak Harbor, O. — An "extended men- 

 tion" in the form of a full-column 

 write-up was accorded R. M. Harrison 

 recently by the local press. Mr. Harri- 

 son's range, his flowers and service 

 were boosted heavenward in a most ad- 

 vertisingly manner. It's a good thing 

 to invite the news reporter around now 

 and then. 



Binghamton, N. Y.— The first fall 

 flower show of Binghamton will be held 

 during the week of November 5 under 

 the auspices of the Binghamton Flo- 

 rists' Association. A committee con- 

 sisting of William F. Schmeiske as 

 chairman, Fred Krause, representing 

 the growers, and A. A. Thomas, repre- 

 senting the retailers, has been appointed 

 to make arrangements for the show.
