The Florists^ Review 



NOVBMBBB 21, 1918. 



huge sums unpaid from previous admin- 

 istrations, but at the end of his first 

 administration the county had cleared 

 up all its bills. Mr. Reinberg has super- 

 vision of an organization which spends 

 $16,000,000 of the public funds each 

 year. 



November 21 is the day on which 

 John Kruchten celebrates his arrival in 

 this world. He is 36 years of age. 



H. Nichols has returned to the em- 

 ployment of the American Greenhouse 

 Mfg. Co., as manager of its Chicago of- 

 fice. Now that the war is over, prep- 

 arations are being made to handle a 

 large volume of business. Mr. Nichols 

 states that among the many orders they 

 are working on is the building of three 

 greenhouses at Wooster, O., for the 

 Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. 

 They have nearly finished two large 

 houses for George G. Schmitt, of Tus- 

 cola, 111. 



In last week's issue of The Review, 

 in this column, was a note about Zyg- 

 mund Misiewicz, who seemingly had 

 come to life again in spite of previous 

 reports from the government that he 

 had died of wounds received in action 

 in France. Another report since has 

 been received from the government, 

 stating that the boy has died of his 

 wounds. Much sympathy is felt for the 

 parents as the star that turned from 

 gold to blue goes back to gold again. 



R. J. Mohr is with the Harris Import- 

 ing Co., a florists' and growers' supply 

 house. Mr. Mohr goes with this con- 

 cern as one of its partners. 



Edward Mallinsoin, manager of the 

 Fleischman Floral Co., reported an ex- 

 tra heavy demand for high-grade cor- 

 sages of all kinds November 18, the 

 opening night of the opera season. It 

 was evident Mr. Mallinson had calcu- 

 lated for this, as he made large pur- 

 chases of corsage flowers and ran a good- 

 sized advertisement on opera corsages 

 in the morning Tribune of that day. 



W. C. Florentine has joined the A. L. 

 Randall Co. as manager of the growers' 

 supply department. Anton Then, Jr., 

 has entered its employment as salesman. 



Visitors. 



Perhaps it is the arrival of peace, or 

 p«rhapg it is the approach of Christmas, 

 but in any event buyers are coming to 

 market in greater number than at any 

 time in the last year. Among those seen 

 in the wholesale houses this week have 

 been: Alfred Forder, Cincinnati, O.; 

 Mr. Williams, of Williams & Clark, 

 Muncie, Ind.; Carl Frick, of Tiedke 

 Bros., Toledo, O.; Charles Frueh, Sag- 

 inaw, Mich.; Fred Rentschler, Madison, 

 Wis.; J. C. Steinhauser, Pittsburg, Kan. 



Roy Currie, of the Currie Bros. Co., 

 Milwaukee, and Mrs. Currie, were vis- 

 itors November 18. Mr. Currie was seek- 

 ing French and Dutch bulbs. They mo- 

 tored down from Milwaukee and found 

 the roads all but impassable, being 

 forced to make manv detours. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Tke market has settled down to a con- 

 dition practically normal. The supply 

 is plentiful and the demand is such as 

 to make clearances possible. Chrysan- 

 themums, of course, are the main fea- 

 ture of the supply, and arrivals are 

 heavy. Yellow varieties are in the ma- 

 jority and appear to move more slowly 

 than others. Many attribute this to a
