The Florists^ Review 



January 26. 1922 



men in the Los Angeles district will 

 prove severe and will be likely to affect 

 the market here. 



Elmer E. Cowdrey has leased the store 

 at 0952 Glenwood avenue, which is at 

 the corner of Morse avenue, opposite 

 the Northwestern railroad station, and 

 about February 10 will open a well 

 equipped retail store with a complete 

 outfit of now fixtures to be installed by 

 the A. L. Kandall Co. As Rogers Park 

 has become the fastest growing part of 

 Chicago, his prospects are excellent. 



George Asnius celebrated his fiftieth 

 birthday January 25. 



A. Lunge is again on duty at the store 

 and making his daily rounds of the mar- 

 ket, having returned January 21 from 

 his rest at Mount Clemens. 



The entire main floor of the W. W. 

 Barnard Co., 231 West Madison street, 

 is being used this week for the annual 

 poultry show of that company. It is 

 attracting the usual wide attention 

 among poultry fanciers. 



A few weeks ago The Keview reported 

 a reduction in the price of window glass, 

 but it was a little premature, as the 

 manufacturers' announcement did not 

 reach the trade until January 19. Since 

 then the reduction has been called to the 

 attention of The Keview by numerous 

 letters and telephone messages. The 

 greenhouse material concerns, in Chi- 

 cago and elsewhere, feel that the reduc; 

 tion will encourage a considerable in- 

 crease in greenhouse building this year. 



On the board of directors of the Up- 

 town Chicago Association — the organ- 

 ization of north side business men which 

 staged the highly successful flower show 

 last fall— are three florists. They are 

 H. Dieu Schiller, Laurent E. Clody and 

 George Stollery. 



Miller Bros., who are among the larg- 

 est carnation growers in this section, 

 have a white sport of Enchantress Su- 

 preme of which they think highly and of 

 which they are sending out stock this 

 season. 



Because he went to Hartford this 

 week to represent the Commercial 

 Flower Growers of Chicago, of which 

 he is president, at the meeting of the 

 National Flower Growers' Association, 

 Peter Pearson will not be able to at- 

 tend the graduation of his daughter 

 from grammar school. 



M. C. Wright, manager of the western 

 interests of the Lord & Burnham Co., 

 returned January 21 from New York, 

 where he went to attend the company's 

 annual meeting and midwinter confer- 

 ence. He says news of the reduced cost 

 of building has greatly increased the 

 number of inquiries received and that a 

 lot of deferred building will now go 

 ahead. 



John Michal will have his store fix- 

 tures of French gray installed about 

 February 4. Mr. Michal expects to 

 have one of the most attractive stores 

 on the south side. 



Howard C. Brown is opening a new 

 flower shop at 379 East Sixty-ninth 

 street. He expects to have his store 

 ready February 1. 



The Eastman Floral Co., 1322 East 

 Sixty-third street, is installing a com- 

 jdetc Buchbinder outfit, including a re- 

 frigerator sixteen feet wide. 



In advertising its service the Fleisch- 

 man Floral Co. recently printed this in 

 the Tribune: "December 24 and 25 we

 ers and blooming plants to all parts of
