The Florists^ Review 



NOVBMBBB 7, 1918. 



while the normal is 2.55 inches. There 

 was only a trace of snowfall during 

 the month. The percentage of possible 

 sunshine was fifty, while the normal for 

 the month is sixty. There were nine 

 clear days; eleven partly cloudy; eleven 

 cloudy. There were twelve rainy days. 

 There were no heavy or killing frosts. 

 Altogether it was an exceptionally good 

 month for the growers. 



Weinberg BeSlected. 



Peter Eeinberg, florist, received an- 

 other wonderful testimonial of popular 

 esteem November 5, when he was 

 reelected president of the board of 

 county commissioners by a majority of 

 more than 20,000 votes. 



Various Notes. 



A large vase of Eose Premier, from 

 the Hills, of Eichmond, has been a cen- 

 ter of attraction at the store of the 

 E. C. Amling Co. for several days. The 

 growers like the looks of this novelty 

 and many of them think it will dis- 

 place Eussell, on which a number of 

 them already have cut down. 



J. Bombenger, who has run green- 

 houses and a store on Woodlawn avenue 

 near Sixty-fifth street for many years, 

 has closed up and discontinued busi- 

 ness. It is reported that in years gone 

 by he accumulated a moderate com- 

 petence, but that recently the business 

 had been losing money and that he 

 closed up rather than suffer inroads on 

 his savings. 



Carl Ehrhardt, one of the Park Eidge 

 growers, says that his crops of pansies 

 and violets are better this year than 

 he has seen them in many yedrs and 

 that no trouble is experienced by the 

 wholesaler in selling this stock. One 

 of his specialties is daisies, which are 

 coming into crop and already are being 

 cut. These he considers also of excep- 

 tionally fine quality. 



Charles H. Piske, in commenting on 

 business conditions, says that, even 

 though the recent health department 

 orders cut down his funeral work, in 

 spite of this his business is about nor- 

 mal and that he has every reason to 

 believe that in a short time rushing 

 business will be on again. Mr. Fiske 

 adds that it takes "some" business to 

 keep his many motor delivery cars busy. 



Frank Schramm, the Crystal Lake 

 grower, accompanied Paul Klingsporn 

 down motor row one day last week in 

 Mr. Klingsporn 's car with no intention 

 of buying anything, but while in one 

 of the motor salesrooms, Mr. Schramm 

 spied a car that looked so good to him 

 that before he left he was the owner 

 of a Stearns-Knight. 



H. B. Kennicott, of Kennicott Bros. 

 Co., has returned from Clearwater, 

 Fla., where he has been on a business 

 trip for several weeks. 



Paul Klingsporn, together with An- 

 drew Benson, of the Lombard Floral 

 Co., and Fred Stielow, of Niles Center, 

 both shippers to the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Association, spent Sunday, 

 November 3, at Eichmond, Ind., visit- 

 ing the Hill establishments. The pur- 

 pose of their visit was to see the new 

 rose. Premier. They were so favorably 

 impressed with it that both growers 

 bought a heavy supply of plants. 



Charles A. Moravek, who has been in 

 the florists' business for many years, on 

 West Sixteenth street and more re- 

 cently at 3226 Ogden avenue, has
