The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 30, 1922 



Teiin., followed by a MCiiiorial day crop 

 at Orayville, 111., an early June crop 

 at Onarga and a late crop at Ocono- 

 niowoc, Wis. This niif^ht be considered 

 as covering the peony season, but the 

 (lOulds have in mind a sixth farm, to 

 be planted up near the Canadian bor- 

 der, which would jiroloug the season 

 into midsummer. 



Charles Qrablg Sells Out. 



Charles Grabig has sold his Ijusiness 

 and leased his store building and con- 

 servatory at 1843 Irving Park boule- 

 vard, to J. Hutmacher and wife, who 

 recently disposed of their south side 

 place, the Washington Park Flower 

 Shop, 558 East Sixty-third street, to 

 Howard A. Muir. Mr. Grabig has been 

 in the florists' business in Chicago for 

 thirty-five years, the last fifteen of 

 them at the present stand, where he 

 has acquired a comjietence and the de- 

 sire to take a rest. Mrs. Hutmacher is 

 the daughter of F. W. Heckenkamp, 

 the well known florist at Quincy, Til. 



Various Notes. 



Greenhouse building, while not espe- 

 cially active in the Chicago district, is 

 on the boom in the middle west. R. E. 

 Kurowski, general manager of the John 

 C. Moninger Co., says his company has 

 booked more orders in the first three 

 months of 1922 than were booked in the 

 first four months of last year. 



A. L. Randall and his brother, Web- 

 ster, were called to West Springfield, 

 Pa., last week by the death of their 

 mother, at an advanced age. 



A store will be opened opposite the 

 Drake hotel by Easter time by M. Boke- 

 dis, formerly in the employ of Mangel's. 

 His fixtures will be furnished by the 

 A. L. Randall Co. 



Fourteen members of the Chicago 

 Flower Growers' Association were in 

 the party to Indianapolis March 26. 



Bassett & Washburn have planted 

 2,000 of the Montgomery-Pierson rose, 

 Priscilla, also 2,000 of Angelus, and are 

 cutting a few blooms from the young 

 stock. Mr. Washburn thinks pink is 

 overdone and that the need is for good 

 white and other colors. 



H. L. Keun, 6850 Wentworth avenue, 

 has a new Ford with an attractively let- 

 tered panel body. 



The death of Henry Singler, of Sing- 

 lor Bros., as the result of an automo- 

 bile accident, is reported in this week 's 

 obituary department. 



Accompanied by A. M. Anderson, 

 Charles Manhoff and Arthur Hanson. 

 F. M. Johnson drove the new Packard 

 to Indianapolis, March 25. 



"The Romance of Your Easter Lily" 

 has been reprinted in poster form and 

 a copy mailed to a large list of florists 

 by the A. B. C. The inscription was: 

 "This should be a. good sales help- 

 paste it in your window." 



John Weiland, Jr., is soon to open a 

 store of his own, on Howard avenue, 

 near Sheridan road, and has placed an 

 order for Randall fixtures for it. 



The Kansas City division of the 

 American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. in 

 charge of W. S. Dolan, reports a revival 

 of western building. Mr. Dolan has just 

 booked an order for R. V. Davis, Wheat- 

 ridge, Colo., for two steel-frame houses, 

 each 39x200 feet. 



P. L. McKee, president of the Amer- 

 ican Greenhouse Mfg. Co., says prices 

 on greenhouses are at low ebb and, with 

 the increased building activity now
