The Florists^ Review 



Fbbruaby 23, 1922 



ers under glass, although it is four years 

 since the variety was disseminated. 

 Weiss & Meyer Co., Maywood, were 

 among the first to receive and bench 

 Columbia. The original plants are now 

 giving a nice crop. 



John J. Walsh is no longer with Poehl- 

 niiinn Bros. Co. 



H. B. Kennicott points with pride to 

 the Freesiu Purity forced from bulbs 

 grown at his place at Clearwater, Fla. 

 In the hands of the same grower, the 

 Florida bulbs are jiroducing stronger 

 growth and larger flowers than do Cali- 

 fornia bulbs. 



Fugone Dramm likes to have people 

 visit his place these days, as the Pre- 

 miers of tlic Uramm Greenhouse Co. at 

 present are without a superior and have 

 few equals. 



Kring Bros., of Fairbury, 111., after 

 many years at it, still send some of 

 the best carnations that reach the Chi- 

 cago market. Their Laddies are in high 

 favor. 



There has been an unusual amount of 

 funeral work in February. In one day 

 recently the E. Wienhoeber Co. made 

 four blankets, and seven that week. 

 Under such circumstances, of course, 

 they do not complain of the condition of 

 business. 



Otto H. Amling has returned from his 

 winter vacation, spent at his brothers' 

 places in California. 



August Barnett, right-hand man for 

 Charles Erne, is doing a two weeks' 

 time of jury service, hearing damage 

 suit cases. 



Herbert A. Stone, for some years with 

 A. Lange and later manager of the 

 flower store of the Everette R. Peacock 

 Co., is preparing to open a business of 

 his own at 4720 Irving Park boulevard. 

 A well located store has been obtained 

 and the equipment is being installed by 

 the A. L. Randall Co. Mr. Stone expects 

 to be ready for business about March 1. 



George J. Ball is in the West Side 

 hos])ital for an operation for a case of 

 double rupture of fifteen years standing. 



Rumor has it that the A. L. Randall 

 Co., having outgrown the building at 

 729 to 735 South Wabash avenue, used 

 as factory, warehouse and shipping de- 

 partment, is planning the early erection 

 of a modern building at some distance 

 from the loop, where ample space for 

 expansion can be had, with sidetrack 

 facilities. Manager F. M. Johnson ad- 

 mits that an option has been taken on 

 such a site, but says plans beyond that 

 have not taken shape. No change is 

 contemplated at the office and salesroom, 

 180 North Wabash avenue. 



Howard A. Muir, well known through 

 many years in the trade, has taken over 

 the Washington Park Flower Shop, at 

 558 East Sixty-third street, recently con- 

 ducted by Mrs. C. Hutmachcr. 



C. L. Washburn and Mrs. Washburn 

 leave February 23 to spend a fortnight 

 with E. B. Washburn and family in Cali- 

 fornia. Mr. Washburn goes easy in 

 mind: At the greenhouses the coal pile 

 is largo enough to last the season 

 through, the income tax schedules are 

 filled out and filed, and Ernie Anderson 

 is left to see that things go right at 

 the store. 



Joseph Foerster has gone back to the 

 Marmon. He preferred only four grease 

 cups to six extra cylinders. 



If you see a light late at night in the 

 office of the Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association, it will be Paul R. Kling- 

 sporn and his brother, William, posting 

 the day's business, as Miss S. Jackson,
