The Florists* Review 



OCTOBBB 8, 1913. 



action could be taken, but the commit- 

 tees will report back to their respective 

 clubs for action by the members. Those 

 present were: Alexander Henderson, W. 

 J. Keimel and H. N. Bruns, representing 

 the Cook County Florists' Association, 

 and Guy French, August Poehlmann, 

 Joseph Einweck, M. Barker and George 

 Asmus, representing the Chicago Flo- 

 rists' Club. 



Miss Winifred Owen, formerly with 

 the A. L. Bandall Co., has started in 

 business for herself, at 2911 West 

 Jackson boulevard, manufacturing cor- 

 sage shields, brides' mufifs and bou- 

 quet holders. 



The H. Wittbold staff is proud of the 

 work done for Marshall Field & Co., for 

 the fall opening this week. The entire 

 sixth floor was turned over to H. H. 

 Wilkerson and he carried out a simple 

 effect in crotons, small palms and au- 

 tumn leaves of various kinds. 



A, T. Pyfer was at Springfield, Oc- 

 tober 7, with the exhibits of the Chi- 

 cago Carnation Co. Seven entries won 

 four firsts and three seconds. 



Mrs. J. B. Freeman, of Toledo, has 

 written to Peter Reinberg to inquire 

 about a man who represented himself 

 as Mr. Reinberg 's son and who was 

 short of cash. She described the man 

 as of medium height, rather heavy set, 

 smooth faced, brown hair inclined to 

 be curly. Of course, she was advised 

 that any such person is an impostor and 

 to warn others. A man answering that 

 description introduced himself Septem- 

 ber 8 at Mr. Reinberg 's store, present- 

 ing the card of Charles Kinyon, of the 

 South Bend Floral Co., South Bend, 

 Ind., and secured $10 on a check the 

 bank failed to cash.

The Market. 



The market conditions of late have 

 been satisfactory, with a good demand 

 for flowers and an excellent supply. 

 The Jewish holidays occasioned an ex- 

 tra demand, including decorations of 

 the synagogue. Chrysanthemums are 

 now in and bid fair to play a con- 

 .apicuous part for the months of Oc- 

 tober and November. There are some 

 good Easter lilies on the market and 

 the carnation stock is fine for this sea- 

 son of the year. The shipping business 

 is brisk, a number of the florists and 

 nurserymen in this vicinity carrying on 

 a wholesale business exclusively. As- 

 paragus plumosus is in excellent sup- 

 ply. 



Various Notes. 



S. Hudson, orchid grower for W. J. 

 & M. S. Vesey, who is abroad at pres- 

 ent, visiting at his home in London, 

 England, is expected back within a few 

 weeks to resume his work here. 



The Frank Knecht Co. is shipping 

 some good chrysanthemums, roses and 

 carnations to eastern markets. 



Miss Mildred Flick has returned from 

 a trip to Cleveland and eastern points. 



W. J, & M. S. Vesey are cutting 

 some fine Easter lilies. Their stock is 

 in prime condition, and they are cut- 

 ting heavily from their roses. The 

 orchid houses present a charming ap- 

 pearance. A great number of cattleyas 

 are in flower, and quite a few dendro- 

 biums. This firm, which suffered a tre- 

 mendous loss by fire and flood in the 

 spring, has built a new packing house 

 of cement exterior, with offices and ga- 

 rage combined. The arrangement is
