The Florists' Review 



JcMM 9, 1921 



practically new houses were put up at 

 Rogers and Kercheyal avenues. An- 

 other house is going up now, and Mr. 

 Wallace intends to continue building 

 until next winter, having planned for 

 nine houses this season. A fine service 

 building and a garage are recent addi- 

 tions also. 



An excellent season in bedding plants 

 hag been closed by Peter Pearson, 

 whose greenhouses are cleaned out, with 

 the exception of a few salvias and 

 petunias, which he expects will move 

 shortly. 



The remains of O. P. Bassett were 

 cremated at Los Angeles shortly after 

 his death there late in February. The 

 ashes were on their way east last week, 

 in a small sealed copper case in charge 

 of the express company, when the train 

 carrying them reached the blockade 

 caused by the flood at Pueblo, Colo. 

 The time of arrival at Hinsdale is un- 

 known. A concrete vault in the ceme- 

 tery there is ready to receive the ashes 

 and there will be a private burial serv- 

 ice at the time of interment. 



The Peter Eeinberg greenhouses have 

 been turned over, by the executors of 

 the estate, to the several heirs, in ac- 

 cordance with Mr. Reinberg's wishes 

 as set down in his will, and each section 

 now is being operated under the direc- 

 tion of the new owner. 



At the meeting of the Florists' Club 

 June 9 Gustaf Bloom, Anthony Batek 

 and E. J. Delaney were elected to mem- 

 bership. The latter Is a heather and 

 statice salesman from Hollywood, Cal. 



The feature of the window^ display of 

 the American Bulb Co. last week was 

 a vase of the new white rose, Medina, 

 a sport of Sunburst to tie sent out soon 

 by White Bros., of Medina, N. Y., with 

 whom it originated. So well was the 

 sport liked, says Mr. Miller, that one 

 local grower placed an order for 15,000 

 of the young stock and another asked 

 to be booked for 2,000. 



A. T. Pyfcr & Co. report that V. 

 Bezdek, the Gross Point grower, al- 

 ready has seventeen benches replanted 

 with carnations to be grown under 

 glass all summer, a method by which 

 Mr. Bezdek has had good results in 

 other years. 



Kirscht Bros., at Morton Grove, 

 cleaned out of bedding stock at Me- 

 morial day and now are bending their 

 efforts toward the completion of a new 

 greenhouse 27 x 200. 



That business has been good for the 

 growers of the east and that they are 

 preparing for even better business in 

 the future, is evidenced by the fact 

 that Fred Lautenschlager, of Kroeschell 

 Bros. Co., said he was "loaded down" 

 with orders for boilers when he re- 

 turned last week from a trip through 

 Ohio and Pennsylvania. 



Henry M. Hirsch, who recently re- 

 tired as president of the Antoinette 

 Flower Shop, 934 East Forty-seventh 

 'street, has again started in business 

 under his own name at 833 East Forty- 

 sixth street. 



The weather man's monthly report 

 shows that the mean temperature in 

 May was 7 degrees higher than in May 

 of the last two years anil that it con- 

 tained the warmest day in May since 

 1911. The sun was unobscured for 

 seventy per cent of the possible length 

 of time, whereas May usually gives 

 us only sixty-four per cent of. the pos- 

 sible duration of sun. As the excess 

 temperature and the excess sunshine 

 both accumulated in the latter part of
