The Florists^ Review 



Januabt 20, 1921 



passed, or nearly so, as have Soleil d'Or. 



Sweet peas are coming stronger with 

 the strengthening sun and a large supply 

 is in early prospect. Violets also are 

 more plentiful, as are cattleyas. The 

 price of the best cattleyas has fallen in 

 the absence of last winter's strong de- 

 mand for them. Stevia is more plentiful, 

 temporarily. Both callas and giganteums 

 are scarce at the moment, but a new 

 batch of the latter is about ready, sev- 

 eral houses report. 



There is nothing new in greens, except 

 that ferns arriving from the east are 

 deteriorating and orders are being can- 

 celed because of unsatisfactory quality, 

 out of keeping with price. 



Mr. Wietor, the Banker. 



Nicholas J. Wietor, florist, has become 

 Mr. Wietor, the banker. He is a director 

 and second vice-president of the new 

 Devon Trust & Savings Bank, which 

 opened for business January 15. The 

 bank has a capital of $100,000 and a 

 paid-in surplus of $20,000. Every old- 

 time florist knows its location, the build- 

 ing at the southwest corner of Clark 

 street and Devon avenue, a short dis- 

 tance east of the Wietor greenhouses. 

 In the early days of the Rogers Park 

 greenhouse community transportation 

 ended there and the site was occupied 

 for many years by an establishment 

 known as "The Last Chance," affording 

 the ultimate opportunity for the north- 

 bound traveler to obtain refreshments. 



Mr. Wietor was not present at tlie 

 opening of his bank, being in Florida 

 with his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Reinberg, 

 but there were many flowers. 



Frauenfelder's to Change Hands. 



One of the interesting topics of con- 

 versation in the market the last few 

 days has been the report that the old- 

 established Frauenfelder stand on West 

 Madison street is about to pass into 

 younger hands. C. Frauenfelder did a 

 highly prosperous business for many 

 years, and since his death the store has 

 been conducted successfully by his wife 

 and daughter. Recently Mrs. Frauen- 

 felder offered the place for sale. It has 

 become generally known that an ar- 

 rangement has boon made by which the 

 business probably will be taken over 

 by a corporation lionded by Walter A. 

 Adams and Fr;ink Pasternick, the lat- 

 ter to be manager. Mr. Adams will con- 

 tinue his North State street store en- 

 tirely independently. The charter for 

 Frauenfelder, Inc., lias been applied for. 

 The trade believes the plan one which 

 will bring profit to nil concerned.
