The Florists^ Review 



July 21. 1921 



H. N. Bruns says he ia more than 

 pleased with the way business has kept 

 up this summer. He has three depart- 

 ments in his establishment and all are 

 busy. In the retail store the run of 

 funeral wortT' makes each week's sales 

 foot a good total. In cut valley the 

 wholesale demand has exceeded his ex- 

 pectations, while the call for valley 

 pips has so depleted the imports of last 

 autumn that he has no more of one 

 grade except for regular customers, 

 with the new crop still four months 

 away. 



Arthur Anderson returned last week 

 from a three months' trip to Europe in 

 the interest of tlie A. L. Randall Co. 

 It was Mr. Anderson's first trip into 

 Germany since the war, though he vis- 

 ited France and other continental coun- 

 tries last season. 



Charles Grabig is again in the Amer- 

 ican hospital, where he has sustained 

 a second operation. He has spent six 

 weeks of the summer at that institution 

 and expects to be there a fortnight 

 longer, but then he hopes to be restored 

 to health. 



Emil Buettner is home from a ten 

 days' stay at his cottage at Eagle 

 River, Wis., and is giving personal su- 

 pervision to the greenhouse work at 

 Park Ridge during the absence of Su- 

 perintendent Earl, who is on a fort- 

 night's vacation. 



P. C. Schupp thinks it is thoroughly 

 demonstrated that the flower business 

 can be maintained on a profitable basis 

 during the heated term if the trade 

 makes half an effort. He says that year 

 by year the business of the J. A. Bud- 

 long Co. has increased each summer ' 

 and that thus far July has been ahead 

 of the same period in any previous 

 year. Mr. Schupp attributes this to 

 the fact that each summer an increased 

 number of retail florists are maintain- 

 ing their sales efforts through the sum- 

 mer. 



Mrs. Robert Hanson, wife of the ener- 

 getic young manager of the Peter Rein- 

 berg wholesale store, has gone to Fort 

 Worth, Tex., for a month's visit with 

 relatives. 



Word has been received of the ar- 

 rival at Denver of William Wienhoeber 

 and wife, Joseph Schouten and Fred 

 Nelson. They made the trip without 

 trouble in Mr. Wienhoeber 's Moline- 

 Knight car and will return about Au- 

 gust 1. 



A. T. Pyfer li.ns been carrying one 

 hand in a large and professional-look- 

 ing dressing. He smashed a thumb-nail 

 and neglected it for several days, with 

 the result that blood-poisoning was 

 feared. 



C. J. Michelsen says that Myrtle has 

 gained rather than lost popularity with 

 the buyers of gladioli. The retailers 

 find it the most widely useful variety 

 on the list. 



Miss Kate L. Harris, of the Flower 

 Shop, Memphis, Tenn., is vacationing 

 at the Edgewater Beach hotel. Other 

 Memphis visitors include Mrs. W. H. 

 Englehart, wife of the head of the Idle- 

 wild Greenhouses, who is accompanied 

 by her daughter, Miss Etta Englehart. 



One of the last week's visitors was 

 Simon Pontrich, of Louisville, Ky. 

 While here he placed an order with 

 Buchbinder Bros, for a large display 

 refrigerator. 



Fred Lautenschlager, of Kroeschell 

 Bros. Co., returned July 18, after at- 

 tending the convention of the Texas J
