The Florists^ Review 



May 17, 1917. 



ing. Lewis Psenicka's skull was frac- 

 tured, while Mrs. Psenicka sustained 

 several body injuries. 



J. E. Pollworth, of Kennicott Bros. 

 Co., is on a business trip through the 

 south. 



Marks Bros., in Cicero, are among tlie 

 oldest florists in the vicinity of Chicago. 

 The business was established many 

 years ago by the father of the present 

 proprietors, who was a contemporary of 

 August Dressel, Edgar Sanders, George 

 Wittbold and other pioneers. The estab- 

 lishment now consists of three separate 

 ranges, thirteen houses in all. Pot 

 plants are the only crop grown. Busi- 

 ness this spring is excellent, although 

 following Easter there was some falling 

 oflp, which was attributed to the declara- 

 tion of war. 



Elm street is in process of being 

 paved with cedar blocks. A large part 

 of the trade of the E, Wienhoeber Co., 

 on this street, is brought to the door 

 by automobiles, and the completion of 

 the work is anxiously awaited. The 

 thoroughfare has been torn up for sev- 

 eral weeks. 



The Smyth brothers, W. J. and Harry, 

 received word last week of the death of 

 their other brother's wife under pecu- 

 liarly sad circumstances at the old fam- 

 ily home at Albany, N. Y. W. J. Smyth 

 left at once to attend the funeral and 

 has only just returned. 



At Elmhurst the Meyer & Dramm Co., 

 one of the few growers now building, 

 will plant the new house 40x400 with 

 American Beauty. It is the first at- 

 tempt to grow Beauty at Elmhurst and 

 is inspired by the belief that Beauty 

 in the future will be a highly profitable 

 rose for those who can grow it well. 



Mothers' day, May 13, was the thirty- 

 third anniversary of John Ziska's ar- 

 rival in the world and of course he ob- 

 served the anniversary appropriately. 



From Union Grove, Wis., French & 

 Salm sent to market over 32,000 Russell 

 roses last week. 



Business with the florists as a body, 

 according to Frank M. Johnson, of the 

 A. L. Randall Co., is better than in any 

 other line with which he is in touch. 

 Mr. Johnson thinks the florist who ca- 

 ters to working classes will have the 

 best season on record next fall and 

 winter. 



Joseph Foerster and Mrs. Foerster 

 have two children, a boy of 10 and a 

 girl of 11 years. Both children have 

 had the measles, but now are happy to 

 have been released from quarantine 

 May 15. 



May 14 John T. Muir completed, with 

 the installation of his successor, four 

 years of excellent service as president 

 of the village board of River Forest, 

 where he is one of the old residents. 



Peter Hile has taken a position with 

 the John Krucliten Co. Mr. Hile was 

 with D. E. Frores for four years and 

 with the Freres-Windler Co. since its 

 incorporation. 



Two brothers, Alex and Max Mom- 

 blatt, have joined the sales force of the 

 American Bulb Co. The former travels 

 in Iowa and the Dakotas, while the lat- 

 ter covers Chicago and adjacent towns. 

 Harry Smyth, Jr., son of Harry 

 Smyth," of tlie E. Wienhoeber Co., lias 

 enlisted in the ambulance corps and is 

 at Jefferson Barracks, St. Ijouis. 



W. L. Van Dame, president of the

 weeks' rest at Excelsior Springs, Mo., 

 where he hopes to recuperate from his 

 recent illness.
