The Florists* Review 



Juki 28, 1»21 



now the same position in the Chicago 

 Florists' Club to fill. He was chosen 

 director to fill the unexpired term of 

 George J. Ball, who succeeded Peter 

 Pearson when the latter was elevated 

 from vice-president to president. The 

 good services of Mr. Pearson and also 

 of the secretary and the treasurer made 

 only the nominating ballot necessary to 

 obtain a majority of votes in favor of 

 each. Budolph Ellsworth was elected 

 director. 



George Harrer, of Morton Grove, and 

 Michael Wiltgen, 502 Florence avenue, 

 Evanston, both carnation growers, were 

 elected to membership. 



An excellent repast was accompanied 

 and followed by musical numbers, which 

 were much enjoyed. 



O. J. Friedman was among the vis- 

 itors and urged the growers to buy their 

 coal now. He also intimated that if the 

 members of the organization would 

 combine their orders, he could save 

 them money in the placing of their ag- 

 gregate needs. 



Frank Oechslin Flans to Retire. 



It is news of no little interest that 

 Frank , Oechslin plans to sell out and 

 retire. 



There are few men in the trade who 

 have grown better stock or who have 

 applied themselves more diligently, or 

 a greater number of years, to the task 

 in hand. Mr. Oechslin started with his 

 savings as an employee, he spared no 

 expense of care or equipment to grow 

 the best of plants, he was always on the 

 job, using his head as well as his hands, 

 and he emerges with a record for con- 

 tinuous success and one of the most 

 valuable greenhouse establishments in 

 Chicago. He has announced his desire 

 to sell all, including good will, to step 

 out, with the intention of not again en- 

 gaging in the trade in Chicago. 



Mr. Oechslin is serving his country 

 this week, as juryman in the Petit 

 court. 



Various Not«s. 



Two of the largest fortunes in Amer- 

 ica were united June 18 through the 

 marriage of the daughter of J. Ogden 

 Armour and the son of Banker Mitchell. 

 The ceremony was performed at Mel- 

 lody Farm, the Armour home at Lake 

 Forest. The decoration was the largest 

 of any wedding this year. The entire 

 order went to C. A. Samuelson, Inc., and 

 was carried out under the personal di- 

 rection of President Edward Enders. 

 The long hall in which the wedding 

 ceremony was performed was profusely 

 decorated with flowers and there were 

 many uses of flowers and blooming 

 plants throughout the mansion. Nine 

 magnificent bouquets were required for 

 the bridal party. The garden, where 

 supper was served to 300 guests, was 

 profusely decorated. Mr. Enders re- 

 ceived many compliments for liis work 

 and visibly added to his reputation as 

 an artist. 



George J. Ball, Glen Ellyn sweet pea, 

 calendula and aster specialist, is all 

 smiles over the arrival of another son, 

 born at Frances Willard hospital June 

 17. Mr. and Mrs. Ball now have four 

 sons and a daughter. 



E. C. Amling and Mrs. Aniling re- 

 turned to their new home near Los An- 

 geles, Cal., June 20, after a visit of sev- 

 eral weeks with relatives and old 

 friends here.
