The Florists^ Review 



Decdmber 1, 1021 



good as expected and was somewhat of 

 a disappointment to many florists. The 

 demand was chiefly for mums. Roses 

 and violets did not move well and the 

 demand for corsage bouquets was 

 negligible as compared with that of 

 previous years. In some instances 

 basket plants sold well, but there was 

 only a small demand for carnations. 

 Boxes of flowers and table decorations 

 were in good demand. 



For the day following Thanksgiving 

 the clerks at the store of A. Lange, 77 

 and 79 East Madison street, were ex- 

 ceedingly busy. Mr. Lange is well 

 satisfied with the Thanksgiving trade 

 and reports a marked increase in sales 

 over last year, the demand at this store 

 being chiefly for mums and roses. A 

 good demand for basket plants, such as 

 the Cleveland cherry, was experienced 

 here also. 



John Mangel, the Palmer House 

 Florist, says the demand for Thanks- 

 giving chrysanthemums was small com- 

 pared with that of previous years. He 

 experienced the same difficulty in mov- 

 ing roses and corsage bouquets. 



The Alpha Floral Co., Wabash avenue 

 and Adams street, reports a good 

 Thanksgiving demand for mums and 

 roses. The demand did not reach the 

 expectations of this firm, however. The 

 amount of money available for flower 

 buying this year is not equal to that of 

 previous years, said a member of the 

 firm. 



Various Notes. 



It is said numerous growers have 

 resorted to peddling chrysanthemums 

 from store to store am«ng the retailers. 

 F. M. Johnson and Fred Tredup are in 

 New York in the interests of the A. L. 

 Eandall Co. They spent November 25 

 in Cleveland, en route. Edward Gold- 

 man returned last week from a visit to 

 Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. 

 He says he found business had revived 

 in that territory and seemed to him 

 better than it does in the middle west. 

 J. C. Nielsen and wife were at De- 

 catur, Mich., November 28, to attend the 

 funeral of a relative who was killed by 

 a tractor. 



Over the cashier's window of the 

 E. C. Amling Co. recently has appeared 

 this sign: "Short credits make long 

 friends." 



Saturday, December 3, Gottlieb 

 Schott, superintendent of the Batavia 

 Greenhouse Co., Batavia, 111., will cele- 

 brate his fiftieth birthday. 



Roses in the greenhouses of the 

 Premier Rose Gardens and the Weiss- 

 Meyer Co., Maywood, are in splendid 

 condition and Paul' Weiss anticipates a 

 banner crop for Christmas. 



The Foley Greenhouse Mfg. Co. has 

 completed the erection of a modern and 

 attractive show house on the roof of the 

 Somerset hotel, at Shcridau road and 

 Argyle street. The house will be used 

 for growing decorative plants for the 

 dining room, lobby, etc. The house is 

 equipped witli a Foley vacuum heating 

 system and may be seen from the north 

 on Sheridan road. 



Joseph P. Brooks, the well known 

 Morton Grove carnation grower, has 

 used fuel oil successfully last season 

 and this. He has a tank of 12,000 gal- 

 lons' ca})acity, hut last season used only 

 10,000 gallons, affording an ample mar- 

 gin if tlie season is started with a full 

 tank. Last season the fuel cost $11.75 

 per 100 gallons, this year only .$4.32. 

 He has had no trouble getting all the
