PETER REINBERG 



WHOLESALE GROWER OF CUT FLOWERS 



30 E. Randolph St. '^ °biL'^-<»4. CHICAGO, ILL. 



Mention The Reylew when yoo write. 



is a dead letter in this market, and 

 Melody seldom can be found, while any 

 number of growers would be able to 

 exhibit Sunburst and Milady. 



William Dittman, of New Castle, 

 Ind., has made arrangements with the 

 E. C. Amling Co. to handle his output 

 this season. Shipments began Septem- 

 ber 25. The Dittman establishment is 

 all in Beauties. 



A fire that gutted the third floor of 

 the building at 131 North Wabash 

 avenue imperiled the store of Bassett 

 & Washburn September 30, but luckily 

 the damage was confined to the rear 

 of the building and no loss was suf- 

 fered by the florists. The cause of 

 the fire has not been ascertained, as 

 it was discovered about 9:30 p. m., 

 directly above the former location of 

 E. H. Hunt, now vacant. 



Mrs. N. J. Wietor returned to her 

 home September 28 after a sojourn of 

 several weeks in the Chicago Union 

 hospital, apparently greatly benefited 

 and restored to her usual good health. 



Walter S. McGee is preparing to ad- 

 dress the Chicago Florists' Club at its 

 meeting November 9, on the subject 



of fertilizers. His talk is designed to 

 show the buyers how they can know 

 what they are getting, and whether or 

 not they are getting their money's 

 worth, 



Tim Matchen says that September 

 has been the best in many years for 

 Peter Ecinberg, nearly doubling last 

 year's record for the month, largely be- 

 cause of a specially good crop of 

 Beauties. 



Otto W. Frese established his home 

 at Mayfair September 30, and T. E. 

 Waters, who has charge of the supply 

 department of Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 moved into the Grace street apartments 

 vacated by Mr. Frese. 



C. W. McKellar reports that the first 

 shipments of eastern gardenias arrived 

 last week. 



The E. C. Amling Co. reports that the 

 first Ehinebeck violets of the season 

 arrived Sej)tember 2.^. 



F. J. Fiedler, recently orchid grower 

 on a private place in San Francisco, is 

 in town with his bride. He came east 

 to get married and thinks he will stay. 



W. E. Leganger, traveler for the 

 A. L. Randall Co., was in a bad wreck 



on the B. & O, near Cleveland the 

 other day. He lost considerable cuticle 

 from one arm, but thinks himself lucky 

 to have escaped so easily, as two were 

 killed. 



The E, Wienhoeber Co., on Elm 

 street, had an order for bouquets for a 

 Winnetka wedding September 27 that 

 made no little trouble. Nothing would 

 do but cosmos, in three colors. There 

 was plenty of cosmos in the market 

 before the unexpected frost September 

 22, but none after that. The flowers 

 were located by long distance telephone 

 in southern Indiana. 



In last week's issue of The Review 

 it was reported that Lubliner & Trinz 

 had found a ten years' home on 

 Wabash avenue and in the real estate 

 columns of the Sunday papers this sen- 

 tence appeared: "Willis & Franken- 

 stein have leased, for the Washington 

 Shirt Co., to Lubliner & Trinz, the flo- 

 rists, the store and basement at 41 

 South Wabash avenue for a term rent 

 from October 15 of $65,000." That's 

 $541.66 a month.
