The Florists^ Review 



MOVKMBBB 11. 1920 



ferences of the sales and factory forces. 

 The feature of the doings was a story of 

 the development of the business, by 

 Sales Manager Galavan. The organiza- 

 tion has been growing so fast that many 

 of its active members were not ac- 

 quainted with its beginnings. 



The officers of the Florists' Club plan 

 to enhance its new reputation as a social 

 .organization with a dance November 

 12. Biisiness houses have been asked to 

 subscribe for tickets and give them to 

 their employees, thus assuring solvency 

 and a large attendance. 



In addition to the party November 12 

 the committee has arranged progressive 

 cards, any game the ladies like to play, 

 for the entertainment of those who do 

 not dance. 



N. J. Wietor has discovered a new 

 pompon which he thinks will take a 

 place in the trade ahead of any other 

 white variety. It was raised by H. W. 

 Eieman's Sons, Indianapolis, and when 

 exhibited for the first time, November 

 22, 1919, scored ninety-seven points, a 

 higher score than was given any other 

 pompon shown to the C. S. A. committees 

 last year. Wietor Bros, bought the en- 

 tire stock, together with the right to 

 rename, the original name of Pearl not 

 being satisfactory. They have this sea- 

 son three benches of the variety, worked 

 up from the original stock of 200 plants. 

 Next season they will plant four houses 

 with it and in the course of time they 

 will offer young stock to the trade. 



Forty retailers have special window 

 decorations this week in competition 

 for the prizes offered by the Allied 

 Florists' Association. 



At Morton Grove Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co. has five 250-foot benches of Yellow 

 Chadwick which are the pink of perfec- 

 tion. The first flowers were cut Novem- 

 ber 8. 



Bassett & Washburn are putting the 

 firemen at Greggs Station on an 8-hour 

 day. Heretofore they have operated 

 only two shifts of twelve hours each. 



H. N. Bruns reports the first ship- 

 ment of 1920 valley pips as on the rail 

 from New York. 



The conservatory at Schiller's north 

 side store will be formally opened 

 November 12 and 13. The big glass 

 structike, which was built by the 

 American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., is being 

 filled with a great quantity of plants 

 from Chicago's best growers. 



While William Stielow, grower, had 

 his ej'es focused on Jack Dempsey at 

 Benton Harbor on Labor day, someone 

 stole his Hudson Supersix, parked at the 

 ringside. Just as Mr. Stielow was about 

 to collect the insurance the other day the 

 car was discovered to have been aban- 

 doned in South Bend nearly two months 

 ago and was returned to him rather the 

 worse for its brief stay in other hands. 

 W. C. Florentine, well known in the 

 trade because of his greenhouses at 

 Downers Grove and because of his more 

 recent connection with Eandall's, has 

 opened an office in room 1114 Lytton 

 building, corner State street and Jack- 

 son boulevard, as sales manager for E. H. 

 Hoover Laboratories, Freeport, 111. They 

 are putting on the market a new packet 

 fertilizer called Plantlife, for sale in 

 flower and seed stores. 



John A. Michal, whose store and big 

 show house at 7045 Stony Island avenue 

 are landmarks in the Jackson High- 

 lands section, is an optimist. He be- 

 lieves his section of the city will fill up 

 rapidly as soon as building recommences, 

 with good private residences or apart-
