The Weekly Florists' Review* 



July 10, 1906. 



ASTERS*, 



In the next week or ten days we will have 



large supplies of fine Asters. They will 



be wanted, for Carnations have shortened. 



Large supplies in all other lines.

Al. Lehmann. of E. C. Amling's force, 

 and Miss Dora Wolf were married July 

 12, at the liome of the bride at Elm- 

 hurst, 111. 



Great Grates. 



As fast as old grate bars are burned 

 out many growers are putting in the 

 Martin rocking grate. The call for this 

 grate is largely increased by the fact 

 that the growers who have used it for 

 one or more seasons are almost without 

 exception equipping other boilers with it. 

 The grate costs considerably more than 

 the stationary bars, but is figured to 

 make a decided saving iu fuel, and that 

 is what all the growers are after. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club held a fairly well 

 attended meeting July 12. A goodly 

 delegation is promised for Dayton. 

 President Hauswirth reached home July 

 15, from a trip of two months to Cali- 

 fornia, and will have some interesting 

 experiences to relate at the next ^ssion. 



Otto Ristow has thrown out his roses 

 and is replanting with carnations. A 

 number of the growers north of town 

 are beginning benching field-grown 

 plants. 



W. W. Barnard Co. has first Harrissii 

 in this week. 



E. F. Winterson is suffering with 

 rheumatism. 



Of. C. A. Samuelsou 's staff, Eisner is 

 now at Antioch, and upon his return a 

 week hence Enders will take to the 

 woods. 



Alex Newett, of the J. B, Deamud 

 Co., is with his family at the old home 

 on the farm near Joliet. 



The Chicago Rose Co. is beginning to 

 cut young rose stock, and the plants 

 are reported as looking fine. Wire work 

 business shows no let-down with them. 



A. L. Randall, who is summering on 

 his peach farm on the St. Joe river, 

 comes over every Saturday for a day 

 at the store. 



Mrs. W. W. Randall went to Michigan 

 on Monday, and ' ' Web ' ' is now a sum- 

 mer bachelor. 



A. C. Kohlbrand, of Amling's, is 

 spending a week fishing, and next week 

 will go to Cincinnati with his family 

 for a visit. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. received 

 11,000 tea roses from New Castle Sun- 

 day and 10,000 Monday. This is the 

 last crop from the old plants. 



O. W. Frese, of the Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., is on vacation this week. 



In Sunday 's big rain a stopped-up 

 sewer forced the Kennicott Bros. Co. to 

 take in six inches of water. They 

 'phoned for a fire engine to pump them 

 out and the chief, the hook and ladder, 

 the chemical engine and the whole out-

fit responded. The basement under the 

 Central Floral Co. also was flooded. 



Not all the retailers are closing at 

 6 p. m., but those who stay open do not 

 do enough business so that it affects the 

 majority. 



At E. H. Hunt's they have a label 

 rack which does away with the "post- 

 office ' ' which has heretofore been a 

 feature of all commission houses. The 

 post by the water tap is encircled by a 

 wire frame with a hanger for the num- 

 bered labels of each growth. The labels 

 are perforated. It is much more' con- 

 venient than the old method. 



C. M. Dickinson and his family re- 

 turned on Tuesday from a fortnight's 

 fishing trip. 



Thos. J. Murphy, formerly with Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., has gone to Warren, 

 O., to take charge of Mrs. Gaskill's 

 place. 



C. G. Papsch has gone to Sewickley, 

 Pa. 



Monday, July 16, Kennicotts shipped 

 eight dozen peonies to New Orleans that 

 were cut June 5 and had been in cold 

 storage forty days. The variety was 

 Queen Victoria and its keeping qualities 

 are such that E. E. Pieser had no doubt 

 of their standing the journey well. 



August Gutzloe, a gardener and florist 

 at the east end of Chicago avenue, was 

 thrown into jail when he went to a police 

 station to complain of a nuisance, and 

 the daily papers are making much of it. 



Interest in the bowling team increases 

 as the time for the Dayton convention 

 approaches. Tuesday evening a large 

 number of contestants attended the 

 weekly "bowl-fest" at Bensinger's 

 alleys. 



Visitors. 



There have been a number of visitors 

 in town this week. Among them were 

 the Bertermann brothers, of Indianap- 

 olis, with their families, on the way to 

 South Haven for an outing; H. M. Al- 

 tick, Dayton, O., working up interest 

 in the great convention to be held in the 

 Ohio town next month; Armin J. 

 Tiaur, of the Baur Floral Co., Erie, Pa., 

 on his way to visit his brother at Indi- 

 anapolis; H. L. Kennedy, Carrollton, 

 Mo., who made the trip of 500 miles on 

 his bicycle; P. Kpr>«alis. of the Xap- 

 salis Floral Co., Milwaukee. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The market is literally dead at times, 

 and during the last week, if not dead, 

 then sleeping. Stock is poor in quality 

 and there is little of it ; there was hardly 

 enough Saturday to go around, and yet 

 there was only a slight demand. The call 

 from Newport amounts to little, except 

 for orchids. Window decorations are 

 largely of ferns, from the graceful
