WHOLESALE FLORISTS 



60 WABASH AVE., CHICAGO 



Mention The Review when you write. 



bride being the beautiful and accom- 

 plished daughter of J. F. Windt, 907 

 Bayard avenue. The happy couple left 

 the same evening for a honeymoon trip 

 through the east, to be gone two weeks. 

 Both Mr. Osseck and his bride are well 

 known in the trade here, who are with me 

 in extending our congratulations and 

 wishing them much joy and happiness. 



The William C. Smith Wholesale Floral 

 Co. was incorporated last week, with 

 a capital of $5,000 fully paid up, to 

 carry on the sale of cut flowers at whole- 

 sale at 1316 Pine street, St. Louis. The 

 incorporators are William C. Smith, W. 

 H. Osseck and Christian Smith. 



The wholesalers gave out their list of 

 players who will compose their ball team 

 June 22, as follows: George Schrefer, 

 p.; Fred Alves, c. ; Ed. Gerlach, Ist b. ; 

 Joe O'Rourke, 2d b.; L. Shippers, 3d b.; 

 Al Gumz, 8. 8. ; C. Sanders, Otto Bru- 

 ning and W. C. Smith, fielders; H. G. 

 Berning, George Angermueller and C. A. 

 Kuehn, subs. 



Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Weber, their 

 daughter, Tillie, and Linnie Meinhardt 

 left last week for a four weeks' trip 

 through the western states. 



Frank Weber and J. W. Schuette, the 

 only local representatives of the nursery 

 trade from here who attended the Mil- 

 waukee convention, have returned and re- 

 port a good time and a well attended 

 meeting. 



Theresa Badaracco, who is well known 

 in the retail business here, is taking 

 vocal lessons. Her fine soprano voice 

 will some day be heard in grand opera. 

 Miss Theresa reports a splendid trade 

 during the season just closed. 



Adolf Brix reports that he had a good 

 business season, with a great many extra 

 large funeral designs. He will again 

 give a free flower show this fall on a 

 much larger scale than last year. For 

 a short vacation Mr. Brix will take a 

 trip north next month. 



The Horticultural Society's execufive 

 board, of which C. C. Sanders is chair- 



man, held its regular monthly meeting 

 June 16 at the M. A. C. Club rooms. 

 Business pertaining to the fall show was 

 transacted. As yet the location has not 

 been selected. Chairman Sanders re- 

 ports the meeting well attended and looks 

 for a successful show this fall. The hall 

 question is about the only hard problem 

 they have to solve. 



The Englemann Botanical Club held 

 its regular meeting last week in the 

 Central high school. The club will hold 

 no meetings during the next three months. 

 This meeting was fairly well attended. 

 The Kohr Floral Co., Ohcar Heile and 

 the Diemer Floral Co., all on South 

 Broadway, say they are well satisfied 

 with the business of the season. Design 

 work has been as good as any year. 



Around the wholesale district there is 

 a great rivalry as to who is the best 

 pitcher, George Schrefer, of the whole- 

 salers, or Oscar Huetcmann, of the re- 

 tailers. Both are great ball players and 

 the result of the game will hang on 

 them. Both are in great form for the 

 contest July 15. 



The Florists' Club's trustees met last 

 week in the office of W. C. Smith & Co., 

 and mapped out a program for the big 

 doings at the club's annual picnic July 

 15. A special effort will be made by 

 them to have all the retailers as well 

 as all the wholesalers close up shop a 

 half day for this occasion. If this can 

 be accomplished the largest gathering of 

 florists and their employees will be out 

 that day. Among the features will be 

 the ball game and the bowling.
