The Florists^ Review 



December 5, 1918. 



body^q»r«ising the salaries of itgrmem- 

 bers. His action was taken in spite of 

 the fact that tlie board also raised the 

 president's salary from $7,000 to $9,000 

 per year. When it came to the test, 

 only one other member stood with the 

 president and the increases were car- 

 ried in spite of the president's state- 

 ment that the county needed the money 

 for much more urgent other uses. 



J. T. Caulfield has sublet to a drug- 

 gist the store at 811 East Sixty-third 

 street, previously occupied by the Wood- 

 lawn Floral Shop. S. Y. Bloom, whose 

 flower store is in the next block east, 

 says he has not lost any sleep over the 

 news. 



D. D. P. Koy arranged last week to 

 enter the employ of the American Bulb 



Co. 



Anthony Batels now has the green- 

 houses at Shermerville previously op- 

 erated by F. F. Scheel. They are 

 planted principally to carnations, the 

 chrysanthemums having been cut. The 

 stock is being sold by A. T. Pyfer & 

 Co. Mr. Batels is not a florist, but is 

 an extensive landowner in the vicinity, 

 a horticultural enthusiast and said to 

 be of the belief that he knows how to 

 run a commercial greenhouse establish- 

 ment. 



Winterson's Seed Store last week ar- 

 ranged for a considerable shipment of 

 bulbs by express from New York to en- 

 able it to finish filling fall orders. 



J. C. Nielsen, southern representative 

 for Poehlmann Bros. Co., has opened 

 permanent headquarters for his firm at 

 Birmingham, Ala., where a line of sup- 

 plies will be shown and a small stock 

 for emergency uses carried. Mr. Niel- 

 sen will make his residence in Birming- 

 ham and travel through the south. 



George C. Weiland is elated over the 

 record-breaking Thanksgiving business 

 he did at his Evanston store. The finish- 

 ing touch of happiness was added De- 

 cember 1, when he was presented with 

 a new baby boy. Mr. Weiland now has 

 five sons and a daughter. 



Phil Schupp says J. A. Budlong has 

 experienced thus far an unusually good 

 season with Double White Killarney, 

 choice stock having brought as high as 

 20 to 25 cents, a price never before ob- 

 tainable for this rose. 



N. J. Wietor, who brought out the 

 new pompon. Liberty Loan, reports that 

 it was a big success and an extremely 

 good seller. 



O. J. Friedman says he had an un- 

 usually good trade Thanksgiving day, 

 in spite of the bad weather. This was 

 due to the location of Mr. Friedman's 

 store, which has two entrances, one be- 

 ing on the famous Peacock alley of the 

 Congress hotel; the people frequenting 

 this place are good corsage buyers. Mr. 

 Friedman received a large number of 

 good orders for the funeral of one of 

 the owners of the Congress hotel. 



Miss L. A. Tonner has returned from 

 Baconton, Ga., where she has been look- 

 ing after her own as well as her family's 

 interests in pecan groves. 



After having several weeks' rest, 

 John Mangel's beautifully colored ducks 

 are .back on exhibition again in his 

 Palnier House window. The ducks are 

 one of his big assets in attracting the 

 passing public. 



George Kasper, proprietor of the 

 store on the west side which bears his 

 name, and also connected with the Ba- 

 tavia Greenhouse Co., has received word 

 from his brother, William J. Kasper, 

 who is in the service in France. He
