The Florists^ Review 



Dkckmbsr 10, 1914. 



7 as a salesman for the Fleischman 

 Floral Co. 



After spending two years at Denver 

 and a few weeks at Miller's, at Mc- 

 Henry, 111., Hans Yepson is back in 

 town. 



Aloys Frey, at Crown Point, has a 

 white anemone-flowered mum of his 

 own raising that is about the latest of 

 the type to come to market. He ex- 

 pects to cut until New Year's. 



D. T. Matchen was in from Indiana 

 Harbor one day last week, buying 

 Christmas supplies. He says all busi- 

 ness has been slow there, because of 

 short time at the steel mills, but that 

 it is picking up again. 



Norby & Hoefle are cutting their 

 annual late crtip of Helen Frick chrys- 

 anthemums, with a few White Bonnaf- 

 fon. They have made a reputation for 

 Frick and some of the flowers are fine 

 this year, but on the whole the crop is 

 not so good as usual, the weather hav- 

 ing been too warm. 



Frank Wilmer recently sold out his 

 interest in "Wilmer & Homeyer, Mt.. 

 Prospect, 111., and the firm now is Ho- 

 meyer & Haberkamp. Mums and car- 

 nations are grown, sold in this market 

 by Kennicott Bros. Co. 



The Warren Park Floral Co., incor- 

 porated in May, now is ready for busi- 

 ness, the active manager being William 

 Scott, for several years a grower for 

 Bassett & Washburn. At 1401 South 

 Sixtieth avenue three 250-foot house" 

 have been built, on a 5-acre tract, and 

 stocked with bedding plants and bulbs. 

 The plan is to do both wholesale and 

 retail business. 



A. F. Longren has returned from a 

 business trip in the northwest and says 

 the trade is preparing with confidence 

 for a banner Christmas business. 



Erne & Klingel find themselves with 

 so much business that additional floor 

 space rapidly is becoming a necessity. 



Fred Hoerber, of Hoerber Bros., ex- 

 presses a great liking for Russell. Mr. 

 Hoerber says he is anxious to see what 

 effect the next season's cut of Russell 

 will have on Beauty prices, as so many 

 people are planning to grow them. 



Ernest Szontagh, 1736 West Forty- 

 seventh street, was kept busy all last 

 week with funeral work. Mr. Szontagh 

 had an order for a large design which 

 was presented to Municipal Court 

 Judge John Stelk on his inauguration. 



August Poehlmann says Christmas 

 plants are moving well, especially cy- 

 clamen and Dracaena terminalis. 



J. Byers, who returned recently from 

 Galesburg and was formerly with the 

 Chicagfr^arnation Co., is now in the 

 Jackson boulevard store of George M. 

 Perdikas, 



Dominick Freres' brother-in-law, 

 Henry J. Phillips, and his wife are 

 visiting Mr. and Mrs. Freres. They 

 are from Hinckley, Minn. 



C. W. McKellar predicts that Christ- 

 mas will be a repetition of Thanks- 

 giving, an excellent business made up 

 largely of late orders. 



After five years at 6972 North Clark 

 street, John Didier is preparing to 

 move next week to No. 6973, directly 

 across the street, where much better 

 facilities will be available. Miss Didier 

 has been in charge of the store from 

 its opening day. 



A. L. Vaughan says the first five 

 days of December made a new record 

 with him, sales for the five consecutive 

 days topping the banner year of 1913. 



O. Johnson smiles with satisfaction
