The Florists' Review 



Mabch n, 1920 



visitors and recipients of many atten- 

 tions in several of the wholesale houses. 



Those former florists, , Lubliner & 

 Trinz, who sold out to George Wien- 

 hoeber, now operate a string of fifteen 

 moving picture theaters, including many 

 of the largest and finest in town. Their 

 headquarters are at 801 Kimball build- 

 ing. 



John C. Enders, with the E. C. Am- 

 ling Co., celebrated his fifty-fourth birth- 

 day anniversary March 8. 



A. F. Longren was at home over the 

 week end. He has been on the road in 

 the middle west continuously for many 

 months and says he never has seen a 

 time when the trade as a whole has been 

 so prosperous as now. 



Last week The Keview noted that 

 March 5 was Peter Eeinberg's birthday 

 anniversary. The Tribune published a 

 portrait of the florist and said: "Peter 

 Reinberg, native son of Chicago, presi- 

 dent of the board of county commis- 

 sioners and the county forest presetves, 

 for eight years alderman for the Twen- 

 ty-sixth ward and a former president of 

 the board of education, yesterday cele- 

 brated his sixty-second birthday. Friends 

 smothered him with congratulations. 

 Peter was born at what now is North 

 Robey street and Balmoral avenue. His 

 father came to Cook county in 1848. 

 The Reinberg family still owns a con- 

 siderable part of the original Rein- 

 berg farm." 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Another unusually severe storm, with 

 rain, sleet, hail and snow, Friday, 

 March 5, disrupted transportation facil- 

 ities and made shipments from many 

 near-by points difficult, if not impossi- 

 ble, for twenty-four hours or more after- 

 ward. However, the market supply of 

 cut flowers was little disturbed, except 

 in the case of a few items, for the 

 reason that prior to the storm there 

 was an accumulation of stock, the hand- 

 ling of which was becoming rather 

 awkward. Conditions Monday, March 

 8, were much improved and transporta- 

 tion was normal over most routes. 



The supply of cut flowers is quite 

 plentiful, particularly in the case of 

 bulbous stock, which is arriving in 

 large quantities. Staple lines are much 

 affected by this influx and prices gen- 

 erally have gone down to a point not 

 experienced for some time previous. 

 Tulips of good quality are to be had 

 almost at pre-war prices, 35 to 50 cents 

 per bunch being the range for ordinary 

 varieties, with 75 cents for especially 

 interesting sorts. Daffodils are on the 

 same plane, being extremely plentiful. 

 Freesias move at 10 to 35 cents per 

 bunch, according to quality, with extra 

 long-stemmed Purity bringing as much 

 as 50 cents per bunch. Iris, usually 

 available at this season, is little seen. 



Sweet peas are in heavy supply and 

 l)rices have tumbled considerably, 50 

 cents to $2 now being the range, with 

 good stock moving at $1 to $1.50 and 

 extra long-stemmed flowers occasion- 

 ally bringing $3. 



Roses are in good supply and clear- 

 ances, with the exception of American 

 Beauty, which is in short but quite suf- 

 ficient supply, are at times quite diffi- 

 cult. The general quality of arrivals 

 is good, but the demand is evidently 

 affected by the liberal supply of spring 

 flowers available. Long-stemmed grades
