The Florists^ Review 



July 31, 1913. 



The Cook County Florists' Special Train 



will leave Chicago 6:35 p. m., Monday, August 1 8th, for the Convention to hi held in 

 Minneapolis, over the only double-tracked railroad operating between Chicago and the

 the finest panoramic view in the central west.

 you to view the scenery to best advantage and in comfort. The berths are ^longer, 

 higher and wider."

The ^'Pioneer Limited" and four other splendid trains are operated daily between 

 Chicago and Minneapolis via the 



Chicago,

 and forth daily.

The Market. 



Weddings and a large number of fu- 

 nerals have kept the florists busy since 

 last report. Flowers are scarce and 

 hard to get at any price. Roses and 

 carnations are in demand, but only a 

 few are to be had. No new roses are 

 being cut. A few days ago we had the 

 heaviest rainfall for over two months, 

 but we need more; all outdoor stock is 

 suffering for want of water. 



Various Notes. 



At Niednagel & Sons' the roses are 

 getting a fine start. Part of the carna- 

 tions have been planted and are look- 

 ing well. The mums also are doing fine- 

 ly. Business is excellent and stock must 

 be purchased so as to fill the orders. 



Mr. and Mrs. Elspermann have re- 

 turned from their trip to Chicago and 

 report a fine time. When they got home 

 they had to pitch in at once and help 

 the home folks, as funeral work was 

 keeping the boys busy. Dave Elsper- 

 mann and his sister leave August 2 for 

 a visit to Chicago.

ing the usual good business. The firm 

 has difficulty in finding the needed 

 stock, but will soon be getting new 

 roses and carnations. 



Miss Nellie Goodge reports that her 

 outdoor stock needs rain badly, though 

 the last rain was helpful. 



Louis Fritsch has been having a good 

 run of work. 



_ Karl Zeidler seems to be getting his 

 share of the business. 



John Castle, who some time ago took 

 over the store and fixtures of the Evans- 

 ville Floral Co., disappeared a little 

 later, after buying an automobile and 

 giving a no-good check in payment. His 

 affairs were looked into and it was 

 found that he had been "hitting the
