Poehlmann't Plans. 



After building practically a million 

 feet of ridge and furrow houses the 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. will next year 

 erect a big addition of detached struc- 

 tures. 



August Poehlmann states that he be- 

 lieves ridge and furrow houses, all things 

 considered, are the best for general pur- 

 poses, but that the firm will for the 

 present build no more Beauty houses 

 other than detached structures. Plans 

 are still subject to change, so far as the 

 size of the addition goes, but the pres- 

 ent intention is to put up ten or pos- 

 sibly twelve detached houses, each 40x 

 350. They will be three-quarter-span to 

 the south, eight feet to the south plate, 

 ten feet to the north plate and nineteen 

 feet to the ridge. The houses will stand 

 fifteen feet apart. 



Part of these houses will be erected 

 at each of the company's two plants 

 and in addition several ridge and furrow 

 houses will be added to each range, so 

 that the season's addition will be con- 

 siderably the largest the company ever 

 has built. 



A contract has been made with Free- 

 man & Sons Cb., Eacine, Wis., for three 

 return tube boilers 72x18, of 150 

 horse-power each, for early delivery, and 

 three more similar boilers will be put 

 in next summer. 



The Poehlmann Bros. Co. also has let 

 contracts for the installation of a cold 

 storage plant at Morton Grove, the ap- 

 paratus to cost about $8,500,. exclusive of 

 the cost of the buildings. Not only are 

 two large cooling rooms for cut stock to 

 be provided, but rooms are to be piped 

 for the cold storage of valley pips, lily 

 bulbs and other stock now stored in pub- 

 lic warehouses. The Wolf ice machine 

 is to be used. 



The Poehlmann Bros. Co. has decided 

 to give the name of Mrs. Potter Palmer 

 to its rose heretofore known as Morton 

 Grove, the pink sport of Chatenay. Oc- 

 tober 28 Mrs. Palmer signified her ac- 

 ceptance of the honor. 



Wienhoeber's Openings 



For some months the E. Wienhoeber 

 Co. has been at work in the rooms above 

 the store on Elm street, which have 

 gained celebrity for their occupancy for 

 many years by Mansfield, the actor. The 

 space is now to be used for demonstrat- 

 ing rooms to show customers just how 

 floral work will look in use. The firm's 

 annual engagement book was sent out 

 this week and contained an invitation 

 to an opening of the demonstrating 

 rooms October 30 and 31. The attend- 

 ance of the elite on Wednesday was 

 large. 



The E. Wienhoeber Co. had the deco- 

 rations October 30 for the wedding of 

 Marjorie Burns and Sidney C. Love, 

 house and church, one of the most elab- 

 orate of the season. 



Flower Show Preparations. 



Manager George Asmus is enthusiastic 

 over the prospects for the best show 



Chicago ever has seen, and the press 

 agent, James Burdett, is sanguine as 

 to the crowds which will respond to th» 

 excellent notices the papers already are 

 giving. The show opens next week^ 

 Wednesday, November 6, and carries 

 over until the following Tuesday. This 

 is an innovation and the result will be 

 watched with much interest. Sunday is 

 sure to be a big day, but opinion differs 

 as to whether the show has been pro- 

 longed by running into the next week 

 or whether interest wilj wane after Sun- 

 day. Manager Asmus has laid plans for 

 special features for Monday and Tues- 

 day to keep the crowd coming. 



The final premium list was issued Oc- 

 tober 28 and may be had by address- 

 ing E. A. Kanst, assistant secretary^ 

 5100 Cottage Grove avenue. 



There will be a large attendance of 

 florists from outside the city and many 

 business houses, as well as the Florists'^ 

 Club, are making preparations to en- 

 tertain them. 



Excursion to JoUct. 



A. T. Pyfer, manager of the Chicago- 

 Carnation Co., has issued an invitation ta 

 all florists visiting the Chicago flower 

 show to participate in an excursion ta 

 Joliet November 9. A special car will 

 be attached to the Eock Island train- 

 leaving at 11:45 a. m. Tickets will be- 

 furnished on application at the man- 

 ager's oflBce at the show, or by Mr.. 

 Pyfer at the train. 



Employees' Ball. 



As the Eeview goes to press, the 

 wholesalers' employees are enjoying 

 their second annual reception and ball 

 at Columbia hall. The attendance is
