The Florists' Review 



Fdbbdabt 6. 1920 



Budlong Co., has noted that the demand 

 for funeral flowers has come principally 

 from a strip of country in which the flu 

 is especially epidemic. He says that 

 lines drawn eastward from St. Louis 

 and Milwaukee would enclose the ter- 

 ritory in which the demand for flowers 

 has been strongest the last few weeks. 



R. E. Kurowski is all smiles. A 9%- 

 pound boy, their second, arrived at the 

 Kurowski home January 31. 



George Ball says that with calendula 

 selling at 12 and 15 cents it has become 

 a crop any grower could regard as more 

 than incidental. 



C. A. AUes, for many years with Wie- 

 tor Bros., has the sympathy of his 

 friends in the death of his mother Jan- 

 uary 31. She was 76 years old. The 

 funeral was held February 4. 



No matter what line one is engaged 

 in this spring, it seems that demand is 

 taxing facilities. Fred Lautenschlager 

 says Kroeschell Bros. Co. never has 

 known so strong a demand for boilers as 

 in January. 



The John C. Moninger Co. reports or- 

 ders booked in January as being for 

 considerably more than twice the num- 

 ber of square feet of glass ever before 

 placed under contract in that month. 



The announcement of the February 

 meeting of the Florists' Club appeared 

 in new form, decorated with the por- 

 trait of President Waters. It made 

 quite a hit and probably is responsible 

 for increased attendance at the meet- 

 ing. 



A special meeting of the stockholders 

 of the Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- 

 ciation was held January 27, at which 

 nearly five-sixths of the shares were 

 represented and voted unanimously in 

 favor of the directors' recommendation 

 that the capital stock be doubled. The 

 new shares will be sold to present stock- 

 holders at par, bringing in $30,000 of 

 additional working capital, and each 

 stockholder present signed for his quota. 

 The subscription rights expire Feb- 

 ruary 6. 



H. B. Kennicott celebrated his thirty- 

 fourth birthday anniversary at Clear- 

 water, Fla., February i. 



E. Wienhoeber and his daughter leave 

 February 8 for a six weeks' vacation 

 trip to California. They will visit most 

 of the points of interest between San 

 Francisco and San Diego. 



Frank Nielsen, of La Grange, January 

 31 sought the aid of the police and 

 newspaper men to find his son, Charles, 

 16 years of ago, who had run away from 

 home. 



Grafted Premier are to be planted by 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. Upwards of 75,000 

 Manetti stocks were obtained and are 

 to be grafted as rapidly as the work can 

 be handled. 



Buddleia aaiatica is a novelty in this 

 market. The Joseph Foerster Co. has 

 shown some fine spikes, but has found 

 the retailers knew the quality so little it 

 was hard to realize their true worth. 



Zech & Mann report a grower who 

 bemoaned missing Christmas with a crop 

 of mignonette. Last week the fine 

 spikes brought from $2 to $2.50 per 

 dozen! 



Theodore Vogel, who has been with 

 W. J. Smyth for many years, is planning 

 to join the innumerable caravan of flo- 

 rists wending their way to the Pacific 

 coast. 



There still are florists whose chief 

 4esire is to cut expense. But with the 

 majority the wish is to push, to do busi- 

 ness, to go while the going is good.
