CfEORCiE IvEINBEKO wholesale grower of cut nowers 



L. D. Phone Central 1937. 51 WABASH AVE., CHICAGO 



Charles Millang also has been bat- 

 tling with the grip and was laid up at 

 the Breslin hotel for a few d!iys. He is 

 still quite ill. 



S. A. Anderson, of Buffalo, was in 

 the city last week and also visited the 

 plant growers. He was "laying up 

 treasures" for Easter. 



Mrs. J. Friedlander is still hale and 

 hearty at 83 years and attends to the 

 interests of her store as keenly as if 

 she were but 38. She is a remarkable 

 lady and looks as if she could round 

 out her century with flying colors. 



N. Lecakes & Co. have in storage 

 10,000,000 bronze and 5,000,000 green 

 galax leaves, a wonderful accumulation. 

 Mr. Lecakes has just purchased a nice 

 property for a country summer home 

 at Massapequa, L. I. 



Julius Lang has added a plant de- 

 partment to his wholesale business, 

 with Mr. Kline in charge. 



James McManus moves May 1 to his 

 new headquarters, 42 W. Twenty-eighth 

 street, and James Hart, the veteran, 

 who has spent a generation in West 

 Thirtieth street, moves to a fine large 

 store at 103 W. Twenty-eighth street, 

 directly opposite that of J. K. Allen 

 and the first door off Sixth avenue. 

 Centralization seems to be the watch- 

 word. It looks as if the first and sec- 

 ond floors of all Twenty-eighth street 

 ultimately would be in possession of 

 the wholesale florists of New York. 



Warrendorf, of the Ansonia, has 

 charge of the extensive floral decora- 

 tions at one of the big dry goods stores 

 and gets $1,000 this week for the dis- 

 play. 



David Clarke's Sons are about ready 

 for the Easter rush. Their show win- 

 dows contain about everything that 

 will be needed and are most artistically 

 arranged. Looks like Fred Lentz's 

 work. The firm had a big church and 

 house wedding on Monday. Jury duty 

 keeps one of the brothers busy at pres- 

 ent, so the usual dullness of these last 

 weeks is somewhat welcome. 



Henry Siebrecht, Sr., is recovering 

 from a tussle with the grip, but noth- 

 ing succeeds in overcoming his indom- 

 itable will. He is one of the men who 

 believe in growing young and staying 

 so. 



Jos. Leikens is growing fat and pros- 

 perous in Thirty-third street, near the 

 Waldorf, and has some of the bluest 

 blooded of the 400 among his patrons. 

 Mrs. Leikens still proves the ablest of 

 lieutenants and the rapidity of growth 

 into success of this house has been re- 

 markable.

The Limprecht Co. has some large 

 contracts for Easter, one being a large 

 palm display for a leading retail firm. 



Don't forget rose night, April 9, at 

 the Florists' Club, and Benjamin Dor- 

 rance's lecture. Following close on the 

 rose convention at Boston this should 

 be a treat for every member. Send 

 exhibits care of John Young, secretary.

CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Business last week was much better 

 than for the preceding week. Almost 

 everything was cleaned up at fair prices 

 and an increased cut in all lines has 

 made the growers feel better. 



The quality of the roses and carna- 

 tions seen at the Cleveland Cut Flower 

 Co. 's establishment was never better, 

 and seeing the large quantities of flowers 

 moved daily by this firm leads one to 



look back a few years and note the 

 difference in procuring stock to fill oiie's 

 orders. Now we telephone the entire 

 order in and the same is delivered at 

 our store in a remarkably short time. 

 In the good old days we hitched tip and 

 drove eight or ten miles and called on 

 as many growers as possible in order to 

 get enough stock to meet the demand. 



Various Note*. 



James Eastwell is again on deck at 

 Smith & Fetters', much improved in 

 health after his vacation trip in the 

 east. He thinks he can now stand the 

 Easter rush. 



The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. is book- 

 ing some very good orders for the ever- 

 lasting tile bench for fatnre delivery. 



H. E. Carlton, originator of the (Jov. 

 Herrick violet, says that orders are com- 

 ing in freely for the violet plants and 

 that it pays to advertise. C.
