CHICAGO, ILL. 



Mention The Review when yon write. 



this week in charge of the state fair ex- 

 hibits of Poehlmann Bros. Co. 



Sam Seligman, of Wertheimer Bros., 

 is in town again. He says he has had 

 a big increase in business since October 

 1 and that advices from the bouse re- 

 port the biggest run of mail orders on 

 record. 



Carl Thomas returned October 6 from 

 his summer home at West Springfield, 

 Pa., and is again at his post in the cut 

 flower department of the A. L. Bandall 



Co. 



Olga A. Tonner says her books show 

 her growers have cut much more 

 heavily in the last two weeks than in 

 the corresponding fortnight of last sea- 

 son. She credits the frost of Septem- 

 ber 22 with the marked revival in busi- 

 ness. 



F. F. Benthey, with Zech & Mann, 

 says that Benthey & Co., of New 

 Castle, have had splendid results thus 

 far with the Mrs. Shawyer rose. He 

 says the first crop cut brought in the 

 cost of the young stock, and now a sec- 

 ond crop is averaging 150 flowers per 

 day from 1,000 plants that are bringing 

 a price better than 10 cents per flower. 



He says the retailers like the rose and 

 that they will plant it much more 

 heavily next season. 



Frank Ayers, right-hand man for C. 

 W. McKellar, has been laid up with 

 the grip. 



Frank Johnson announces that the 

 A. L. Bandall Co. has made an arrange- 

 ment to disseminate the red seedling 

 carnation with which E. H. Blameuser 

 has been notably successful the last two 

 treasons. It is classed as a commercial 

 variety and Mr. Blameuser was so 

 pleased with it that some time ago he 

 gave it the name Joy, which sounds as 

 though it ought to help sell the young 

 stock. Mr. Blameuser has a house and 

 a half planted with the variety this 

 season. 



N. J. Wietor says his firm is so well 

 pleased with the Mrs. Bussell rose that 

 as soon as the propagating season ar- 

 rives all the av£lilable wood will be 

 used for working up stock for next 

 year. 



Edgar F. Winterson, Jr., and bride 

 returned October 7 from their honey- 

 moon and have started housekeeping at 

 3807 Polk street, whfere'they will be at 



home to their friends after October 20. 



John Michelsen says that the busi- 

 ness year of the E. C. Amling Co. closed 

 September 30 and that the books show 

 an increase of sales of more than fifteen 

 per cent over the preceding year. 



O. Johnson, of the Batavia Green- 

 house Co., says his concern has not yet 

 cut a Bichmond, having found that 

 there is little demand for red roses un- 

 til settled, cold weather comes. 



The Chicago Florists' Club meets 

 Thursday evening, October 9, at room 

 104 at La Salle hotel. 



A few changes in the windows have 

 been made by F. W. Martin, at ihis 

 Forty-first street store, which will give 

 him almost double the display he for- 

 merly had. 



Fred Quasthoff, at Forty-sixth street 

 and Cottage Grove avenue, says the 

 demand for Boston ferns has been much 

 better than usual, although in other 

 lines he found it rather quiet last 

 month. October started well, the Jew- 

 ish holiday bringing a large number 

 of good orders. 



A contract has been given to the 

 United Eefrigerator & Ice Machine
