Wholesale Florists 383-387 Elllcott St., BUFFALO, N. Y. 



Mention The Review when you write 



greenhouses. He does business as the 

 Norwood Park Florists. 



C. Philipp has just completed a roof 

 garden decoration at the Illinois Athletic 

 Club. Large window-boxes have been 

 placed around the coping, with trellises 

 ten feet high and connected at the top. 

 The boxes have been planted with Cobaea 

 scandens and Clematis paniculata for 

 quick effect. A number of bay trees and 

 boxwoods are used among the tables on 

 me roof. 



Bowling for both ladies and gentlemen 

 will start June 23, at Mussey's alleys, 

 under the auspices of the pastimes com- 

 mittee of the Chicago Florists ' Club. This 

 is to qualify for the S. A. F. convention 

 teams. 



A peony decoration at the opening of 

 the Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co. store last 

 week attracted considerable attention. 



Peter Eeinberg returned June 18 from 

 a short trip to New York as a member 

 of a council committee to attend the ded- 

 icatory exercises on the new steamship 

 Chicago. • 



"Wietor Bros, report that they have had 

 a surprising call for young stock of 

 Richmond rose; it has been far heavier 

 than last year. They say there also has 

 been an excellent demand for Kaiserin. 



George Fisher, who is the local buyer 

 for the H. A. Fisher Co., spent last week 

 at the firm's main store at Kalamazoo. 



N. C. Moore & Co. have found the 

 wholesale plant business a profitable de- 

 'partment and are in the market for a 

 carload of small pots, with which to ex- 

 tend that feature of their business next 

 season. Miss Nellie C. Moore has been 

 suffering with neuralgia for a fortnight. 



Local wholesalers have been notified 



of the financial difficulty of a Greek 

 named E. Mirras at St. Paul, who bought 

 considerable quantities of stock in this 

 market. It is stated his liabilities are 

 $16,000, but wholesalers here for once 

 are not interested to a large extent. 



Frank Beu planted one house with 

 carnations before the house was glazed, 

 and says the stock is making splendid 

 progress. 



C. L. Washburn received his new Stud- 

 ebaker automobile June 16. This was a 

 birthday present for his son, Ned Wash- 

 bum, who has just completed his course 

 in the agricultural college at Madison, 

 Wis., and who will now actively enter 

 the business of Bassett & Washburn. 



Percy Jones says that the local buy- 

 ers all call for valley, Kaiserin and 

 peonies; there is no inquiry whatever 

 even as to the price of Harrisii. 



Zech & Mann are handling Matt 

 Mann's annual crop of red gladioli. 

 These n«ver fail to go well and are to be 

 seen in the window displays of the lead- 

 ing retailers. 



C. H. Fisk says that June business is 

 not so good as last year, but a little bet- 

 ter than it was two years ago. He thinks 

 the retail department of the business 

 should be satisfactory to all. 



Within the last week George Eeinberg 

 has practically doubled his stock of cat- 

 tleyas, having received 1,000 plants of 

 Mossise, gigas and one or two others. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. has started the 

 erection of four houses, about 28x350. 

 These are for carnations and will com- 

 prise the firm's addition for this season. 



Robert Johnstone is rusticating at 

 Nunda, 111. 



It is stated that the Chicago Carna- 



tion Co. has concluded to discontinue the 

 growing of rodes and will next season de- 

 vote all its glass to carnations. 



A. A. Sawyer has 15,000 plants of his 

 new aster in the field and says the growth 

 is ten days ahead of last year. 



Fred Schramm, of Park Ridge, has^ 

 put in a new gasoline pumping enginlb 

 that works directly into his water pipes 

 and gives him good direct pressure, in- 

 stead of the tank pressure he has used 

 heretofore. 



Charlie Erne, of E. H. Hunt's force, 

 carries his hand in a sling — three boUs. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. says the E. Wien- 

 hoeber Co. is using a good many auratum 

 lilies, because of their novelty. An 

 Evanston grower supplies them, appar- 

 ently the only lot grown under glass for 

 this market. 



This is the week of roses on the wooded 

 island at Jackson park. Last Sunday, 

 June 14, there was a record crowd there. 

 Quite a few plants died out and the 

 garden has been fully as good in other 

 years. 



The A. L. Randall Co. says there is 

 a good call for valley and for Adiantum 

 Croweanum. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that the cold 

 storing of miscellaneous lots of peonies 

 is not all it is cracked up to be and that 

 sooner or later a good many wholesalers 

 will come to the conclusion that poor 7 

 stock doesn't become any better by payr^ 

 ing a month 's storage charges on it. Tho\^ 

 only peonies it pays to store are the very 

 best; the quicker the others are sold the 

 more they will bring. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. has a bullet 

 tin board on which is posted a notice of
