The Florists^ Review 



August 18, 1921 



J'agcant of Projfit'ss paiado. Mr. 

 Stollory's News is a lively sluu'l, carry- 

 iii}^ a lino line of advertisinjj;, altlioujj;!! 

 Stolh^ry Uros. did not seem to be rep- 

 i<'S(;nted in the issue teliinfi; about the 

 lloat, but Schiller, (Mody and .loliu Kuhr- 

 uianu were well lepieseutiMl iu that 

 issue. 



A. T. Pyfer reports that V. liezdck, 

 (if dross J'oint, tiuished beiichiufj car- 

 uittions last week and that the j'ounjjj 

 stock looks well. 



Olsein & Zender are :ill set tor the new 

 season. About lialf the jdace, on Jiobey 

 street, is in C.'ohinil)ia and Oplielia roses, 

 ]dantcd some time a^o, antl in earna- 

 tjons, the benching of wliieh was finished 

 Just before I'eter Olseni started to drive 

 to Washington. The junior member of 

 the lirni is a nephew of Adam Zender, 

 one of whose ranges of greenhouses they 

 lease. 



The Joliet Floral ("o.. o])eraled by the 

 Schmidt brothers, are finishing another 

 liOOfoot greenhouse of Dietsch material. 



Walter A. Adams and Mrs. Adams are 

 vacationing at Deep I^ake, near Lake 

 \illa, III., wliere they will be joined by 

 Frank Pasternick and wife August 20. 

 Mr. Pasternick lias had an extremely 

 iiusy suiiinier, because business has been 

 steadily good with C. Frauenf elder, Inc., 

 and the place, taken over l)y Mr. Paster- 

 nick and Mr. Adams last spring, has 

 required a great deal of overhauling to 

 put it in first-class sliajie. 



Field-grown carnation ])lants are ex- 

 tremely scarce in this locality. Not so 

 many as usual were planted out last 

 sj)ring and the long spell of hot, dry 

 weather resulted in little growth. Some 

 growers benched what they could when 

 they should. Others only now are plant- 

 ing. Some have set two plants together. 



Fritz Bahr, whom we all know and 

 like, but of whom we see little any more, 

 celebrated his forty-ninth birthday last 

 week. lie was born in Paris, August 12, 

 1872. 



The new flower store in the Wrigley 

 building was opened this week. E. li. 

 <'ooke is the proprietor and it is known 

 as the Euth Cooke Eosery. The store 

 is in charge of W. C. Seymore, formerly 

 of A. Lange's staff. 



The W. J. Smyth store for several 

 days has looked like a busy ])aint shop, 

 but soon will be in apple-pie shape for 

 the new season. 



A. L'ange was well pleased with his 

 |)articipation in the Pageant of Prog- 

 ress. He entered in practically all the 

 classes and took eleven firsts, besides 

 several second and third prizes. He con- 

 sidered the publicity well worth the 

 effort. Business was, he says, a little 

 slow during the pageant, but began to 

 pick up August 15, when he had a good 

 run of funeral work. It is worth while 

 noting that Mr. Lange has been thirty- 

 eight years in the flower business in 

 downtown Chicago and has been too 

 active to grow old. 



Louis Finnerman. of the defunct 

 (irossberg, Tyler, Finnerman Co., has 

 Joined the road sales staff of Ziska 

 & Sons and the Juvenile Furniture Co. 



John Poehlmann is vacationing at 

 Twin Lakes. 



George Wittbold and wife have re- 

 turned from a restful boat trip to 

 Duluth. 



A. B. C. Miller and family motored 

 to northern Wisconsin for a few days' 

 outing before the big shipments of bulbs 

 came in.

has begun to show the annual revival. 

 He looks for a good season in the Wil-

 been here within the last week or so. 

 Some wore on their way to Washington,
