September 20 was an anniversary for 

 the Joseph Foerster Co. On that day in 

 1909 Mr. Foerster and his then partner, 

 William P. Kyle, opened their store for 

 its first day's business. 



Hoosier Beauty has practically disap- 

 peared from this market. Bassett & 

 Washburn, for whom the rose did partic- 

 ularly well, have at last discarded it in 

 favor of Crusader, which has gained 

 steadily in popularity. 



Henry Wittbold & Son arc well 

 pleased with the way autumn business is 

 opening at their Adams street store. 

 They have a new neighbor on the west, 

 a Fannie May Candy Shop, and on the 

 east they have Fannie Butcher's book 

 store, both catering to the class of peo- 

 ple who appreciate good flowers. As 

 Mrs. George Wittbold, a most efficient 

 young person, takes most of the orders, 

 it might be in line to call this Fannie 's 

 Flower Shop — only her name is June. 



The A. L. Randall Co., which is 

 steadily developing its business in the 

 east, has made arrangements to carry a 

 large stock of florists' supplies in New 

 York city. In conjunction with the 

 Randall subsidiary, the Southfield 

 Flower & Foliage Co., a floor of 9,000 

 square feet has just been leased at 92 

 Sleeker street, about 100 feet from 

 Broadwav. There will be room for the 

 Southfield artificial flower factory, for 

 a handsome sample room and for a large 

 stock from which to fill eastern orders. 



John Poehlmann expects the season of 

 1921-22 to make a new high record for 

 this market and for the trade in general 

 within the Chicago shipping radius. He 

 bases his expectation on the excellent

Ernest Anderson, right-hand man for 

 C. L. Washburn, returned to work Sep- 

 tember 19, after a two weeks ' auto out- 

 ing among the lakes of northern Illinois' 

 and southern Wisconsin. He was just 

 in time to take a hand in the heaviest 

 day's shipping Bassett & Washburn 

 have had since last spring. 



Our former fellow townsman and 

 florist, William E. Lynch, is here from 

 Hatfield, Mass., where for several years 

 he has been engaged in tobacco grow- 

 ing. Mr. Lynch is the guest of A. L. 

 Vaughan at his pleasant home in River 

 Forest.

 16 and 17, the Boston Store displayed
