The Florists^ Review 



Sepxember 29, 1921 



A leak on the secoiul floor of the Atlas 

 block over Sunday gave Henderson's 

 Seed Store and A. T. Pyfer & Co. a job 

 of mopping up when they opened for 

 business September 26. The damage was 

 not so large as the muss. 



William Trillow, formerly of Des 

 Moines, has gone to St. Louis as one of 

 the territory men of the A. L. Randall 

 Co. 



Charles Erne and family set out last 

 week for a little drive in their car. The 

 next heard from them they were at St. 

 Paul. Home again. 



Wietor Bros, have one range, used for 

 chrysanthemums last season, all in 

 Columbia roses this year, 32,000 plants. 



V. Bezdek, of Gross Point, already is 

 cutting about 2,500 carnations a day and 

 will have his first crop off before pom- 

 pons become plentiful. He has a bench 

 of Maine Sunshine, Strout's new yel- 

 low, and says if it comes up to its present 

 promise he will have several benches of 

 it next season. 



Jacob Mergen, whose flower store is at 

 2025 Roosevelt road, is one of the stock- 

 holders in the projected West Central 

 State bank, to be located at the inter- 

 section of Roosevelt road and Ogden 

 avenue. 



Hans Jepson is gradually turning his 

 attention from pompons to big mums, 

 finding the latter more profitable. He 

 has between two and three times as 

 many of the latter as he has of the 

 former. Next year he plans to grow 

 only the large blooms. 



Joseph Trinz, of Lubliner & Trinz, 

 former florists and present moving pic- 

 ture magnates, has just taken title to 

 several parcels of ground on Belmont 

 avenue west of Lincoln avenue at an 

 aggregate consideration of $140,000. It 

 is the report $2,000,000 is to be in- 

 vested in another movie palace. 



The Evening American is conducting 

 a "Home Beautiful" contest, with a 

 home as the capital prize. The George 

 Wittbold Co., through John G. Witt- 

 bold, at once got into the game with a 

 letter to the editor offering to furnish 

 free the necessary material and labor to 

 complete the lawn and planting. Of 

 course the editor featured the Wittbold 

 offer for several days, making good ad- 

 vertising for the florist. 



J. C. Nielsen returned September 23 

 from a trip through the south which 

 took all summer and covered nearly 

 9,000 miles, nearly all of which was 

 r'jide in his automobile. 



Paul R. Klings[)orn reports that the 



E. G. Hill Co. shipped the first chrys- 

 anthemums of the season September 

 24. The variety was Smith 's Advance. 



Edward Mallinson reports that Sep- 

 tember 2.1 the Fleischman Floral Co. had 

 an order for a casket cover to contain 

 4,000 red roses. 



Martin C. Amling would like to sell 

 his place at Maywood, about 75,000 feet 

 of glass all in roses, and join his brother, 

 Walter, at Pana. Walter Amling is 

 doubling his glass area there this season 

 and they consider Pana so favorable a 

 location that if they can consolidate 

 their interests they will keep right on 

 building. 



The contract price for Franklin 

 county coal, deliveries to cover the sea- 

 son, is $3.50 per ton, but it has been 

 possible for growers to pick up cars in 

 the spot market for about $2.50 per 

 ton, although that price probably 

 spelled loss for the mine operator. A. 



F. Poehlmann, whose large interests 

 cause him to .study the coal market, he-
