The Florists^ Review 



August 2."», llcji 



liavo gradually gathered in iceboxes. 



All unexpected deiiiaiid for valley last 

 week created a situation wliieh still 

 gives the wholesalers trouble. For some 

 time the supply slightly exceeded the 

 demand, but last week a sudden call for 

 considerable ((uantities cleaned the 

 market and for several days it has been 

 impossible to fill all orders. The result, 

 of course, was an advance in price. 



Outside of roses and gladioli, supplies 

 are limited; there is not much of any- 

 thing else, and the demand is erratic. 

 An occasional call for lilies or valley 

 in considerable quantity comes either as 

 a relief or a vexation, because some- 

 times such orders can be filled and 

 sometimes not. Asters are not abun- 

 dant, but some are good. Milkweed, the 

 native Euphorbia corollata, is about as 

 steady a seller as there is on the mar- 

 ket now that gypsophila seldom is seen. 



Various Notes. 



('. L. Washburn and Mrs. Washburn 

 have returned from their trip to Cali- 

 fornia. Combining business with pleas- 

 ure, they had a. busj-^ but delightful 

 time. Mr. Washburn is well pleased 

 with the showing at Bassett & Wash- 

 burn 's Pacific coast branch, where ken- 

 tias by the hundreds of thousands are 

 Hearing the shipping stage. 



Harry Rowe Hjnjnt a great many years 

 in the loop lief ore he removed to the 

 north side. Asked as to which class of 

 location he now thinks best, he said: 

 "Downtown the retailer must cover his 

 overhead and get his ])rofit practically 

 all within five hours, from 11 a. m. to 4 

 ji. 111., eacli day. In the Wilson avenue 

 ilistrict he can do business from 9 a. m. 

 td'iiiidnight."' '•■ 



C. L. Slierer rejiorts that Frank 

 Schramm, at Crystal Lake, already is 

 cutting from ~y,o6o to 10,000 roses a day, 

 a considerable jiart of them being of the 

 long, fancy grades. Williaju Sjiandikow 

 is tlie grower. 



"Kube" Cooke's Flower Slio|), the 

 Koscry, in the rotunda of the Wrigley 

 Imilding, is being advertised on the 

 sporting jiages of the daily jiapers. Be- 

 ing in professional baseball, Mr. Cooke 

 ])lans to get the patronage of sporting 

 jieople for his new flower store. . 



C. S. Claussen says War is the best 

 red gladiolus to date. His concern, Bon- 

 vallet & Co., is growing it heavily this 

 year and the cut s])ikes have sold ex- 

 cellently at Amling's. 



Last week Streiff & Dagoliert finished 

 the installation of a new 12-foot dis])lay 

 refrigerator built to order by the A. L. 

 Randall Co. These ])r()gressive young 

 men have not yet been in business for 

 a year, but lia\-e done so well they are 

 ])re])aring for larg(>r things in the new 

 season.
