The Florists^ Review 



OovoBm S8, 1930 



parity with the rest of the country, 

 greatly to the satisfaction of all con- 

 cerned. To employeea daylight saving 

 no doubt has been welcome, but to the 

 managers of business it has been a nui- 

 sance, especially so in the case of florists 

 using the trains. Chicago time has been 

 sixty minutes earlier than the time of 

 most of those who order flowers from 

 this market; the closing hour, 6 p. m., 

 has come when it was only 4 o'clock 

 in the country, with the result that there 

 have been many inconvenient last-min- 

 ute rush orders, not to mention those 

 which did not arrive until the next day. 

 Next week we set our clocks back and 

 the cause of much misunderstanding and 

 dissatisfaction will be eliminated. This 

 market hopes we never again shall save 

 daylight unless the rest of the United 

 States does so too. 



Various Notes. 



Ed Jacob, traveling salesman for the 

 A. L. Eandall Co. for the last seven or 

 eight years, is engaged to be married to 

 Miss M. Alther, private secretary to 

 Edward Galavan. Miss Alther has been 

 with the A. L. Randall Co. for the last 

 five years. 



M. A. Bedden, who does business as 

 Eedden's Flower Shop, has removed 

 from 820 West Garfield boulevard to 

 5510 South HaJsted street. The two lo- 

 cations are close together, but the new 

 store is on a business street and Mr. 

 Redden has there trade opportunities not 

 to be found on the boulevard. 



Ernst C. Amling returned to his new 

 home at Orange, Cal., last week, after 

 a few days spent with relatives here. It 

 is rumored that his visit had to do with 

 a proposition to purchase the Des 

 Plaines establishment of Amling Bros., 

 which is known to be on the market. 



Richmond chrysanthemum, a recent 

 Hill introduction, is being sent to mar- 

 ket in fine shape by Emil Buettner, who 

 thinks well of it, as does Eric Johnson. 

 Mr. Buettner also is in with a large crop 

 of giganteum lilies, from cold storage 

 bulbs, of course. 



C. H. Fisk and wife returned to Chi- 

 cago last week after six months in the 

 Orient. Mr. Fisk has many interesting 

 tales of his experience in hunting new 

 and better sources of supply for the A. L. 

 Randall Co. 



A new Moline-Six sedan has been or- 

 dered by Paul Amling, the Des Plaines 

 grower. 



Paul R. Klingsporn has an interesting 

 letter from Edward Meuret, formerly 

 vice-president of the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Association, who is located at 

 Pasadena, Cal., for the winter. Mr. 

 Meuret and family have traveled the 

 whole length of the coast and are en- 

 joying hugely the first vacation they 

 have had since Mr. Meuret went into the 

 growing business, but they are not 

 among those who find the attractions of 

 California irresistible; they probably 

 will be back in Chicago in the spring 

 and in the market for another range. 



The Western Union clock in the ship- 

 ping department of the J. A. Budlong 

 Co., showing railroad time, has been an 

 hour slow all summer. Next week the 

 rest of the market will drop back to it. 



Indian summer weather, October 23, 

 called W. J. Smyth and family to their 

 place at Lake Marie for another week 

 end. 



There was a meeting of the directors 

 of the Allied Florists ' Association at the 

 manager 's office, October 25, to complete 

 the details for "Say It with Flowers"

make a happy and lasting impression, and the price is so reasonable that it is a 

 pleasure to remember them always as thm 6««f. 



Begin the season right by connecting with us, as we shall have plenty of 

 stock to take care of your orders. We cannot handle all the flowers coming into 

 the market, therefore we handle only the best. We have always paid special 

 attention to out-of-town trade, realizing they must have exceptionally well grown 

 and carefully selected stock to reach them in good condition, so that we may 

 have their continued patronage.

 working out satisfactorily save those for 

 arousing cooperative interest. It is diffi- 

 cult to help those who will do nothing 

 to help themselves. 



Greenhouse builders, who buy little if 

 any coal, report that fuel dealers of 

 whom they never have heard are calling 

 them on the telephone to inquire if there 

 are florists who want coal.
