The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBEB 7, 1916. 



of the gladiolus, in which he is princi- 

 pally interested, he says many buyers 

 sought the novelties he offered this 

 summer and even in the height of the 

 glut paid better than the average price 

 for his standard sorts, just because 

 the newer kinds were included at the 

 same price. 



A branch store has been opened at 

 3842 Broadway by the Briggs Floral 

 Co. 



The ideal weather of October 3 was 

 not allowed to pass by A. L. Vaughan 

 without a tribute. Piloted by his 

 daughter, Thelma, he spent the day in 

 the country. Mr. Vaughan reports the 

 volume of business his house is doing 

 as highly satisfactory for the time of 

 the year. 



The installation of a heating plant 

 in his new greenhouse in Evanston is 

 now keeping A. E. Hunt well occupied. 



A severe attack of neuralgia placed 

 David D. P. Eoy on the sick list fof 

 a few days last week. 



Since the present activities of the 

 executive committee of the flower show 

 began, August Poehlmann spends a 

 good share of his time in his automo- 

 bile on the road between Chicago and 

 Morton Grove. 



A meeting of the directors of the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association 

 will be held October 12, at 176 North 

 Michigan avenue. 



Visitora. 



The two new roses of Weiland & 

 Risch, Champ Weiland and Feamma, 

 received a visit in their Evanston home 

 from Robert C. Smallwood, of A. N. 

 Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., October 

 4. On his return to the city salesroom 

 some samples of the Feamma were dis- 

 cussed. This is a true pink in color, 

 and has a fragrance closely resembling 

 that of the old La France. It is a 

 free bloomer and several who have 

 seen it think it is destined to take the 

 place of Killarney as en all-around 

 rose. 



Among the week's visitors was 

 Marion W. Uhlschmidt, with Grimm & 

 Qorly, East St. Louis, w"ho arrived 

 October 4 and remained in the city 

 two days. Mr. Uhlschmidt was here 

 on a buying trip, as the St. Louis mar- 

 ket was cleaned out by the Veiled 

 Prophet celebration. He said many 

 complimentary things of the Chicago 

 market, both as to its size and the 

 quality of its service. 



One of last week 's callers at The 

 Review oflice was Harry A. Barnard, 

 representing Stuart Low & Co., Bush 

 Hill Park, Enfield, England, who is on 

 his annual three months' trip to call 

 on American buyers of orchids, roses, 

 palms, cyclamens, Manetti stocks, etc. 

 He says he has found business just fair 

 this trip, buyers still taking hold cau- 

 tiously. 



Mrs. Charles D. Bradley, of the 

 Bradley Flower Shop, Fort Wayne, 

 Ind., has been looking over the Chi- 

 cago market while visiting relatives 

 here.
