VAUGHAN & SPERRY, 58 60 Wabash Avenoe, CHICAQO 



Mention The Review when you write. 



Jack Gunther and family are summer- 

 ing at Rockaway. Jack says ' ' business 

 is a joke, ' ' which is at least a cheerful 

 and philosophical way of considering it. 



The New York Cut Flower Co. has 

 made the big second floor of the Coogan 

 building to correspond with the beauty 

 and neatness of the Beauty king and 

 Pierson's Beauties, both the pink of per- 

 fection always. 



Mr. McConnell, manager for L. M. 

 Noe, and Mrs. McConnell, leave Juh' 28 

 for Pittsfield, Mass., and their annual 

 seclusion in the Berkshire hills. Louie 

 Miller, of the same department, is holi- 

 daying at Chatham, N. J. 



L. J. Kreshover and wife write from 

 Italy of a great summer's travel on the 

 continent. 



John Krai is spending his vacation 

 among his chickens at his "farm" in 

 Portchester. 



Every wholesaler but one signed the 

 document for 3 o'clock closing until 

 September. The single immovable put 

 the hour to 4 o'clock, which is now gen- 

 erally observed. "A little leaven leaven- 

 eth the whole lump," 



Charles Smith, of Woodside, has pur- 

 chased fifteen acres of splendid land at 

 Bound Brook, N. J., where he will re- 

 side and at once erect two 20-foot houses. 

 He made a most advantageous purchase. 

 One of his sons will accompany him and 

 "the good twins" will continue to run 

 the Woodside plant as well. 



The Pierson U-Bar Co, is applying its 

 construction to the florists' use in a 

 somewhat novel and thoroughly practical 

 manner in erecting show rooms, in which 

 under conditions unmatched for light- 

 ness, attractiveness and downright cheery 

 convincingness, the flowers and plants are 

 shown to best possible advantage. This 

 is positively an age when "any old 

 thing" won't do; even the callous buy- 

 ers who cry against innovations are the 

 first to fall prey to advanced, inviting 

 methods. 



Victor Dorval and Gus Schraeder, of 

 Long Island, are away on a trip to the 

 Falls and down the St. Tiawrence, 

 through the Thousand Isles. 



Myer, of 609 Madison, has a very ar- 

 tistic window trimmed with oak bark 

 and clinging ivy, a 5-foot tank in the 

 center with rockery filled with goldfish, 

 turtles and ducklings. The bottom is 

 covered with moss and leads to a minia- 

 ture forest where a large hawk with 

 chickens in beak and claw presides, A 

 lot of interest is created and the value 

 of unique and original decorative work 

 is emphasized. So many opportunities 

 for brainy work in window display are 

 afforded in New York windows, and such 

 an audience is always sure, it's a wonder 

 more do not wake up to its importance.

Pictorial Directory 



The

of leading florists, seedsmen and nurserymen of the United States and Canada, 

 objects beiiie : 



1. To establish your personality among the trade. 



2. To aid in identification at the convention 



3. To furnish a pleasing memento of the convention, a reminder of pleasant 

 associations. 



4. A reference book, invaluable in choosing future business associates. 



5. In interchange of business by mail, a likeness is next to a personal 

 acquaintance. 



Whether you attend the convention or not, it is to your interest, from a busi- 

 ness standpoint, to be represented as a leading, up-to-date florist. One telegraphic 

 order may more than pay the cost of your advertisement in this book, to be distrib- 

 uted over the United States and Ca n ada. 



Besides the usual number of fine illustrations of Dayton and vicinity, one 

 great feature of tliis souvenir will be a section devoted to civic improvement and 

 welfare work, in which our city leads, and which will be finely illustrated, thus 

 becoming a reference book of incalculable benefit. 



Upon the receipt of $5.00 and your photograph, we will insert your business 

 card, illustrated with your picture, and mail to you a copy of the Souvenir and your 

 half-tone cut, prepaid. Adw-ess

Warendorff's are as attractive as ever. 

 There is plenty of time in summer for 

 thinking and doing along these lines, 



George A. Kuhl, of Pekin, 111., and 

 family passed through New York last 

 week on their way to Portland, Me., for 

 their month's vacation. The rest of us 

 will have to be satisfied with Dayton. 



About the only ripple on Monday was 

 a fire near Theo Lang's store on Sixth 

 avenue, Mr. Lang and family are on 

 their farm in the Catskills. 



0. S. Christiansen, owing to ill health, 

 has disposed of his business at 67 East 

 Tenth street to Bobert Koehne, who for 

 nine years has had charge of the cut 

 flower depot at Bloomingdale 's, and 

 George Wernz, who has been right-hand 

 man for Mr. Christiansen for many years. 

 The new firm will be Wernz & Koehne 

 and with ar. established trade the young 

 men shouH do well. Mr, Koehne is a 

 prominent and active member of the 

 New York Florists' Club. 



Lyman B. Craw, of the Lord. & Burn- 

 ham Co,, and family leave on Saturday 

 for Anisguam, a resort near Gloucester, 

 Mass,, for their summer outing, 



J. B. Nugent 's bookkeepers are holi- 

 daying and honeymooning at Lake Hop- 

 aticong. Everybody is pleased to know 

 the champion caterer is to personally at- 

 tend to the inwards of the convention- 

 ists on the trip to Dayton. 



McManus just missed taking the train 

 that was wrecked near Denver, He was 

 too weary and too full of the glories of 

 the Bockies for utterance on Monday 

 evening. He had only four hours at 

 Chicago, on one of the smoky days. 

 Orchids love the sunlight. There's no 

 place like little old New York,
