The Rorists* Review 



NOVEMBHK 24, 1921 



cupied the regular evening for meeting 

 of the Commercial Flower Growers of 

 Chicago, the organization met at 5 p. m. 

 at the Auditorium hotel November 17, 

 just before the repast. 



Two new members were added, Frank 

 Oechslin and William Spandikow. 



The cups awarded by the Uptown 

 Chicago Exposition were formally pre- 

 sented to Frank Oechslin and i?'oehl- 

 mann Bros. Co. Those whose names 

 were mentioned for other awards in The 

 Eeview of November 10 were presented 

 with framed certificates from the expo- 

 sition association. 



The greater part of the meeting was 

 given up to the reading and discussion 

 of a paper on "Price and What In- 

 fluences It," by Joseph Kohout, which 

 is given on another page of this issue. 



Various Notes. 



Friends of Theodore (Ted) Vogel, for 

 many years with W. J. Smyth, will re- 

 gret the news, in this week's obituary 

 column, of Mr. Vogel 's death in Los An- 

 geles November 19. 



The Chicago Kose Gardens, the name 

 under which J. J. Budlong conducts the 

 grcenJiouscs at Howard and Kedzie ave- 

 nues, is trying out a new way of sending 

 roses to market. Pasteboard boxes are 

 used, of a suitable size to hold twenty- 

 five roses. The boxes are waterproofed 

 and are lined with waxed paper. The 

 roses are graded and packed with ice in 

 the box. They keep well without put- 

 ting the roses in water, but as yet re- 

 tailers do not indicate a preference for 

 the method. 



The 1921 crop of valley pips has be- 

 gun to arrive from Germany. H. N. 

 Bruns received a large shipment last 

 week. His brother at Hamburg advises 

 him tliat tlic crop is small this year, as a 

 result of war, but prices nevertheless 

 are a little lower than last season. 

 Lower in dollars, that is; in German 

 money it has reached the tremendous 

 price of 2,000 marks or more at first 

 hands. 



H. B. Kennicott spent last week 

 swinging around a circle of his firm's 

 customers and prospective customers. 

 He says he found nearly everybody 

 busy, but not too busy to be hospitable. 

 ^^r. Kennicott ln>Iieves nearly all florists 

 are in line for a prosperous, if not a 

 record season. 



Zecli & MaJin report the arrival of the 

 first stevia November 18. 



Following their successful exposition, 

 at which flowers j)laycd so important a 

 ])art, the north side merchants have 

 organized in a ])crmanent body, the Uji- 

 town Chicago Association. Past-presi- 

 dent H. D. Schiller was made a member 

 of all committees, (ieorge Stollcry was 

 elected a director and Laurant Clody 

 was elected on the membership com- 

 mittee. 



William Wienhorber says that the 

 business of the K. Wienhoeber Co., on 

 Elm street, thus far this season has 

 been aheail of all previous records. 



George ^lohn was at home for a few 

 days last week, after a trip in the south- 

 west for the E. C. Amling Co., and went 

 out again November 21. He says that 

 all the markets he has visited in Novem- 

 ber have been blocked witli mums and 

 ]iompons, many who are l)nyers at other 

 times turning consignors wliile chrysan- 

 themums are in season. Mr. Mohn ex- 

 pects all other markets, as well as Chi- 

 cago's, to show greatly increased activ- 

 ity as soon as the mums are gone.
