The Florists^ Review 



Notembek 20. 1919. 



kind he ever had seen elsewhere, and 

 that Kansas City impressed him as one 

 of the best cities in America for florists. 



Joseph Foerster comments on one 

 change in the market situation which he 

 tliinks may not have been fully ap- 

 preciated. Whereas in earlier years city 

 buyers were in the habit of making the 

 complete rounds of the market each day, 

 now most of the buyers practically con- 

 fine their purchases to one or two houses. 

 Mr. Foerster thinks considerate treat- 

 ment has developed a spirit of loyalty 

 which is a valuable asset for all con- 

 cerned. 



Leases in the Atlas block, where there 

 are sixteen trade tenants, nearly all run 

 out May 1, 1920, or have a 90-day can- 

 cellation clause. In view of what is 

 heard with regard to rent increases else- 

 where in the downtown district, the 

 annual visit of the agent is awaited with 

 more than usual interest. 



Grading is in progress preparatory to 

 doubling the glass area of the Weiss- 

 Spandikow Co. It is probable that two 

 iron frame houses, 72 x 400, will be 

 erected, although details are not yet 

 settled. 



A. Miller is spending the week in De- 

 troit, his first trip since his return from 

 Japan. 



Bouvardia has proved a profitable ad- 

 dition to Henry Wehrman 's list of spe- 

 cialties. The supply on the market is 

 so small that his cut usually is spoken 

 for before it reaches his wholesaler. 



Alois Frey writes from San Fernando, 

 Cal., that he has had a strenuous time 

 getting his new place planted, but that 

 freesias, callas, etc., now are growing 

 nicely. 



P. C. Schupp's establishment, the J. 

 A. Endlong Co., has come to be known 

 to its friends as "The Corner House," 

 a title made nationally famous as the 

 "Street" nickname of J. P. Morgan & 

 Co., in New York. 



P. J. Foley, who sj)ends a considera- 

 ablo part of his time on the road, de- 

 voted tlie afternoon of November 18 to 

 visiting friends in the market. He says 

 his company has built more greenhouses 

 in 1919 than in any previous year, but 

 that 1920 will be still better, bookings 

 the first half of November exceeding the 

 best record for the full month in any 

 other year. 



G. Denys, well known in the vicinity 

 of St. Louis, has joined the st-aflf of A. 

 Henderson & Co. 



The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. 

 will erect a greenhouse for Julius Rosen- 

 wald, on his estate at Highland Park. 



A. T. Pyfer was in Des Moines, la., 

 for two days last week, attending the 

 Mid-West Horticultural Exposition. Mr. 

 Pyfer reports an interesting and en- 

 thusiastic meeting and an exception- 

 ally fine display of flowers. 



R. B. Howe,' of the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., left last week to visit the eastern 

 markets. Ho expects to be absent about 

 a fortnight. 



A. J. Zech attended tlic show of the 

 Indiana and Kentucky florists at In- 

 dianapolis last week. He reports a 

 large attendance and fine exhibition. 



Visitors. 



Visitors reported by Basset t & Wash- 

 burn were T. L. Metcalfe, wife and eon, 

 of Hopkinsville, Ky., and Wni. Neilson, 

 of Pana, 111. 



Harry Schultz, of George Heath 's, 

 Morris, 111., was in Chicago November 

 17.
