The Florists^ Review 



SxrTEMBBB 2, lAiM 



of new gladioli at the store of the E. C. 

 Amling Co., where he invited comments 

 on the flowers. 



Walter Amling, who now lives at 

 Pana, ID., was here last week to visit 

 his brothers and cousins. 



Joseph Carlin, with Tipton & Hurst, 

 Little Bock, Ark., arrived here August 

 30 for a vacation. He is a former Chi- 

 cagoan, having been with the Fleisch- 

 man Floral Co. and Bohannon Floral Co. 

 before going to the southern city. 



H. K«sik, of Kansas City, was here 

 on one of his frequent visits, which 

 usually include Milwaukee. He looks 

 for another big season in the southwest. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



Supply and demand are about evenly 

 balanced; both are light. Outdoor 

 flowers form the greater part of the 

 receipts. Asters are the leading flowers, 

 with the best types of asters in their 

 glory. Well grown Semple and ostrich- 

 plume asters find buyers at good prices. 

 Gladioli are not so plentiful as they 

 have been, although they are a good 

 second in importance. Dahlias are just 

 beginning; a few fine blooms of choice 

 varieties are setting a high standard. 

 Cosmos has come and fall delphiniums, 

 tritomas and the Japanese hydrangea 

 add decorative variety. The acquisi- 

 tion to the indoor list is Chrysanthe- 

 mum Golden Glow. There are just a 

 few long-stemmed roses. Pilgrim, the 

 new pink, has been added to the list. 

 Beauties and orchids are also out of 

 the market for the present. Two nota- 

 ble efforts to obtain cattleyas here met 

 with little success. 



Bfr. Habermehl's Accident. 



Widespread was the feeling of sym- 

 pathy, and great is the relief, regard- 

 ing John P. Habermehl. Mr. Haber- 

 mehl left his Belle vue -Stratford Flower 

 Shop chatting and laughing with his 

 associates in the afternoon of August 

 19. In the evening he was lying un- 

 conscious in the Atlantic City hospital. 

 Mr. Habermehl, who had taken an after- 

 noon train to Atlantic City, was stand- 

 ing on the curb there when a touring 

 car struck him and knocked him down. 

 He was cut and bruised and uncon- 

 scious. Fortunately, his injuries were 

 not serious, though painful. He is now 

 out of the hospital. Mr. Habermehl 

 believes that the lamp of the car struck 

 him as he stood on the pavement. John 

 P. Habermehl is one of the foremost 

 men in the floral world today. His re- 

 covery is good news to all who know 

 and admire him. 



The Coming Season. 



The fall season opens Monday, Sep- 

 tember 13, when the schools reopen and 

 the dahlia season commences in earnest 

 October will bring the return of sociai 

 activity and that critical period when 

 indoor-grown flowers commence to re- 

 sume sway, generally styled the com- 

 mencement of the chrysanthemum sea- 

 son. This period is particularly easy 

 for the buyers and particularly difficult 

 for the sellers in the wholesale cut 

 flower market. The regular social sea- 

 son begins Thursday, November 25, 

 Thanksgiving day. It lasts seventy-six 

 days. Christmas day and New Year's 

 day fall on Saturday. Ash Wednesday 

 comes February 9, 1921. Easter Sunday 

 will be quite early, nearly as early as 

 it can come, March 27. Sunday, May

 sible. Most of our consignments arrive in the 

 morning, and we can always do much better for
