The Florists^ Review 



NOVBMBIB 10, 1921 



for the remarkable showing made, sec- 

 onded by Peter Pearson, who took 

 charge of the exhibits. Tlie judges were 

 W. J. Smyth, George D. Frank, of Cham- 

 paign, and R. C. Sheely, superintendent 

 of Lincoln park. 



Various Notes. 



Anticipating dividing the years in two 

 nearly equal parts, one part to be spent 

 in Chicago and the other in California, 

 E. C. Amling is preparing to build a new 

 home in River Forest. Last week he 

 purchased the lot at the northwest cor- 

 ner of Jackson and Chicago avenues, in 

 that pretty western suburb. This site 

 is exactly two blocks straight west of 

 the beautiful new residence H. N. Bruns 

 is erecting, and three and one-half 

 blocks from the home of C. J. Michelscn, 

 manager of the company bearing Mr. 

 Amling 's name. The broker in the sale 

 was Mr. Amling 's nephew, Paul E. 

 Weiss, who has several other lots sold 

 and for sale in River Forest. Mr. Amling 

 and wife left for California November 5, 

 in good health and high spirits. They 

 will be back in the spring. 



Henry Wehrman is doing unusually 

 well with pompons this season. He has 

 a lot of new varieties that are blooming 

 and selling well, especially those grown 

 by disbudding. 



Mrs. Palinsky-Ncsbit has been placed 

 in charge of the new Postlewaite store 

 called the Flower Shop, at Hammond, 

 Ind. 



A. T. Pyfer & Co. reported their first 

 Paper Whites of the season as having 

 arrived October 31. 



The venerable but still active Cliarles 

 WiflSn is building a new residence at 

 Des Plaines, adjoining the home and 

 greenhouses of his son, Grant Wiffin. 



W. J. Smyth says he has no com- 

 plaint whatever to make of the present 

 season. Business not only has been 

 good, but has been so steady that his 

 waste has been lower than in any other 

 year within his remembrance. 



H. L. Keun, whose store at 6850 Went- 

 worth avenue is in a busy district, 

 makes a specialty of his window display 

 and has a throng in front of it the 

 greater part of the day and evening. 

 It is needless to add he is doing a nice 

 business. 



Good cyclamen plants are reported 

 scarce in this district. Those who have 

 good stock are moving them rapidly. 



R. J. Mohr has rejoined the staff of 

 the A. L. Randall Co., in the capacity 

 of general representative. 



The chrysanthemum season is pro 

 gressing rapidly. Poehlmann Bros. Co. 

 report the appearance of Eaton and Yel- 

 low Eaton in the shipments of Novem- 

 ber 7. 



W. F. Duntemann, of Bensenville, is 

 sending in excellent flowers of a white 

 sport of Ophelia. 



H. Munson, who established his busi- 

 ness in florists' pipe and fittings in 1S98, 

 has just incorporated as the H. Munson 

 Co., the new address being 938 West 

 North avenue. Plans are being made 

 for expanding the business. 



The big baskets of flowers which are 

 a feature of Marshall Field's decorations 

 this week were the work of Henry Witt- 

 bold & Son. 



Visitora. 



Earl Mann was here from Richmond 

 November 3, looking over the market 

 and visiting a few of the growers.

DO YOU? 



Our customers demand quality. And 

 we insist on quality in all we handle. 

 Do you? 



When we speak of quality in Roses 

 we do not think of stem-length. Long 

 stem or short stem, quality implies 

 perfect foliage, straight stem, typical 

 color, characteristic bud -plus an in- 

 tangible something called "class." 



Our growers are specialists, each one 

 devoting himself to the variety which 

 he best approves. They work for 

 quality, produce it, and give it|to you.
