The Florists^ Review 



Dbcbaibbr 22, 1921 



sion of some topics of much interest to 

 members of the organization. 



Following the same course of thought 

 that was presented at the meeting of the 

 Chicago Florists' Club one week before, 

 the members present expressed the be- 

 lief that a spring flower show would be 

 welcome and successful in Chicago in 

 1922. Opinion was unanimous on this 

 point. The method of inaugurating such 

 an event was less definite. The notable 

 success on the north side in November 

 led to suggestions of the use of the same 

 location in the spring, with a show at 

 the Broadway Armory of flowers exclu- 

 sively. So strong seemed the desire for 

 such a means of bringing flowers to the 

 public at a time when it is felt it will be 

 of much value, just before Easter, that 

 it was voted unanimously to authorize 

 the flower show committee to confer 

 with others interested and, if necessary, 

 call a special meeting of the organiza- 

 tion to lay plans for the show. 



A meeting, it was voted, will be had 

 of the executive committee and the 

 wholesalers with a view to increasing the 

 growers' contribution to local publicity 

 to one per cent of their receipts. The 

 sentiment is strong among members of 

 this organization that a larger fund is 

 needed, and the results from the cam- 

 paign so far have been so beneficial that 

 it is believed a doubling of the growers' 

 contribution will be a wise move. 



The request of the Chicago Florists' 

 Club that a joint meeting of the two 

 organizations be held in February, for 

 the purpose of inspecting novelties 

 staged at that time, was acceded to. 



One new member was added, the An- 

 gel Guardian Florist, 2001 Devon avenue. 

 Various Notes. 



Euscus cleaned up in good shape this 

 Christmas; there are only small 

 quantities here and there and the price 

 has stiffened as the season progressed. 

 On the other hand, frieze in both red 

 and green is in large supply. A month 

 ago buyers were telegraphing around 

 the country in the endeavor to locate 

 frieze, but' recent late shipments from 

 Japan have not only eased the market, 

 but congested it, most of the demand 

 having passed. 



Death came to Hedvig Louise Frcd- 

 erickson Sodcrberg December 15, at the 

 home of her son-in-law, Frank M. John- 

 son, 2120 Estcs avenue, Eogers Park. 

 Interment was at Rosehill Saturday 

 afternoon. Mrs. Soderberg was 67 years 

 of age. Two children survive, Mrs. 

 Ellen Johnson, wife of the general man- 

 ager of the A. L. Randall Co., and Ed- 

 ward Sodcrberg, who has charge of the 

 Johnson-Randall manufacturing inter- 

 ests at Traverse City, Mich. 



The 10-ycar-old daughter of Harry 

 Goldstein, a director in tlie A. B. C, 

 was taken away last week, the funeral 

 being held privately from Sarah Morris 

 hospital December 13. The child's 

 mother, Lorraine Bcilman Goldstein, is 

 the sister of Mrs. A. Miller. 



The A. B. C. put a million valley pips 

 in cold storage last week. 



Frank Weber, formerly of St. Louis, 

 is opening a new flower store at 664 

 North State street. 



T. E. Waters says that the last Christ- 

 mas order went out from the Poehlmann 

 supply department December 17, leav- 

 ing a' week open for rush calls. It has 

 been a good season, according to Mr. 

 Waters, but one involving an unusual 

 amount of work because, instead of 

 placing one large order well in advance, | 



Time in its flight pauses for no man; NOW is the time to act.
