The Florists' Review 



SbftcMBBK 30, 191S. 



are being received and a marked im- 

 provement in the flowera is noticeable. 

 Dahlias are few, but this fact fails to 

 add to their popularity. The cold and 

 the recent heavy rains have about fin- 

 ished the outdoor stock. 



Easter lilies are meeting with a bet- 

 ter demand than usual. The quality is 

 good and the supply is by no means 

 plentiful. Eubrums are moving fairly 

 well, but the supply, though not large, 

 is yet sufficient for the demand. The 

 demand for valley is still evenly met 

 by the supply. 



So far, this has been a poor season 

 for chrysanthemums. The excessively 

 rainy weather has had a bad effect on 

 the quality, and the demand has been 

 weak. The supply has decreased during 

 the last week; the earliest batches of 

 Golden Glow, Smith 's Advance and 

 October Frost are about cut off and 

 the second batches are not yet quite 

 ready. Eastern cattleyas have relieved 

 the scarcity of orchids and forced a 

 fall in prices. 



Greens are moving nicely, with an in- 

 creasingly strong demand for plumosus 

 sprays. 



The November Show. 



The publicity committee announces 

 that recent appointments include a 

 committee of ways, means and audit, 

 with Peter Reinberg as chairman. The 

 other members of this committee, so far 

 appointed, are C. L. "Washburn, Philip 

 Schupp, George Reinberg, N. J. Wietor, 

 F. Hoerber, A. L. Randall, E. C. 

 Amling, Ed. Meuret, J. H. Kidwell and 

 Emil Buettner. August Poehlmann has 

 been elected treasurer. 



The committee on lectures has W. J. 

 Keimel for chairman and it is proposed 

 to arrange for an elaborate series, cov- 

 ering subjects of public interest, with 

 stereopticon views, this having been 

 one of the taking features at previous 

 Coliseum shows. 



H. B. Kennicott, as chairman of the 

 press committee, is at work with his 

 assistants preparing material for an 

 elaborate publicity campaign in the 

 daily newspapers. 



Guy W. French, chairman of the Flo- 

 rists' Club's special premiums commit- 

 tee, reports highly satisfactory results 

 from his first day's canvass. 



Arrangements are undier way for an 

 elaborate display of vegetables, in 

 which various nearby horticultural or- 

 ganizations, such as those of Ijake 

 Geneva, Lake Forest, Winnetka, etc., 

 will be the contestants. 



A. I. Simmons has been appointed 

 chairman of committee on music. 



August Koch has been appointed 

 chief of the information bureau. 



Various Notes. 



As a result of the confusion at- 

 tendant on the congested condition of 

 traffic at Randolph street and Wabash 

 avenue, Robert Huehnchen, father of 

 Ida Mayer, proprietor of the Hum- 

 boldt Florist, 2509 West North ave- 

 nue, was struck by an automobile and 

 his head quite severely bruised. An 

 ambulance was called at once, but Mr. 

 Huehnchen declined to enter it, so he 

 was conveyed to his home in a taxi. 

 He is suffering much discomfort, but 

 it is believed he has sustained no se- 

 rious injury. 



Mr. and Mrs, William J. Ashley have 

 announced the marriage of their daugh- 

 ter, Dorothy Margaret, to Walter 

 Martin Rupp, son of N. J. Rupp, of the
