The Florists^ Review 



October 21, lOlS. 





motored out Milwaukee avenue October 

 16 to witness the dedication of a 2- 

 mile stretch of newly completed con- 

 crete highway, which is to run through 

 Niles Center to the limits of the 

 county. Miss Louise Redfield, cousin 

 of H. B. Kennicott and B. R. Brenton, 

 , of Kennicott Bros. Co., served as * ' Miss 

 Niles" and christened the new road 

 with a bottle of champagne. Standing 

 nearby and lending her moral support 

 was Miss Virginia Poehlmann, daugh- 

 ter of August Poehlmann, of Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., who recently played 

 the stellar role in a similar perform- 

 ance at the opening of Milwaukee 

 avenue. 



A. T. Eichel, who trades as the Irving 

 Park Florist, 4226 North Crawford ave- 

 nue, received azaleas from Belgium last 

 week. They were in excellent condi- 

 tion. 



Mt. Greenwood cemetery never looked 

 better than it does this autumn. The 

 oaks have colored gorgeously and the 

 Japanese barberries are aflame. It is 

 no wonder Mr. Rudd welcomes . visitors, 

 for they spread the fame of his gar- 

 dening. The greenhouses are spick-and- 

 span, as usual. Most of the carnations 

 on the benches, and many of the mums, 

 are C. W. Johnson's seedlings. 



The United States Moving Pictures 

 Co., of which Peter Reinberg is a direc- 

 tor, has secured a half interest in a 99- 

 year lease on 100 feet of State street 

 frontage, between Jackson boulevard 

 and Van Buren street, on which it 

 will build * * the finest moving picture the- 

 ater in the United States," to quote 

 the advertisements. Mr. Reinberg 's 

 company already operates several thea- 

 ters and is negotiating for others. 



A new White truck, carrying the 

 name of the Lawndale Floral Co., is 

 attracting a great deal of attention in 

 the West Twenty-second street district. 

 V. A. Kahout believes it will prove a 

 fine addition to his equipment. 



Plans and preparations for the re- 

 moval of the Chicago Flower Growers' 

 Association into its new quarters in 

 the lie Moyne building, at the end of 

 the month, are occupying most of the 

 time of Manager Paul Klingsporn. 



A house 22x100 is being added to 

 the range of John Vachout, 4518 North 

 Crawford avenue. 



A quite unique window display at- 

 tracts the attention of those passing 

 the store of the W. W. Barnard Co. 

 Against a background of autumn leaves 

 is staged a bit of a garden — blooming 

 hyacinths in formal rows, a circle filled 

 with flowering tulips and a profusion 

 of conservatory and garden novelties. 

 Of course the flowers are artificial, but 

 the effect is the same, and that is what 

 counts. A carload of Japanese bulbs 

 was received last week. 



C. A. Samuelson's presence on the 

 market October 18 is worth recording, 

 it is so seldom he visits the wholesalers 

 in person. 



The distinction of being the only flo- 

 rist to have an exhibit at Chicago's 

 Second Annual Home Exposition, being 

 held in the Coliseum, belongs to Schiller 

 the Florist. 



After being confined to his home by 

 a case of blood poisoning resulting 

 from an infected tooth, David D. P. 

 Roy is again at the office. Mr. Roy 

 has filed suit against the dentist for 

 malpractice in treating the wrong tooth, 

 thus causing the infection. 



There is nothing like a change of 

 scene, air and companions for a few
