HENRY F. MICHELL CO., J^illS^S^. Philadelphia, Pa. 



DXRSCT BULB IMPORTERS 



primulas and cyclamen. A busy summer 

 has been put in working up a larger 

 stock than usual. 



Chairman Poehlmann has called a meet- 

 ing of the national flower show reception 

 committee and the Florists ' Club 's enter- 

 tainment committee for Friday evening, 

 September 11, at the Union restaurant 

 club room. 



S. B. Wertheimer, of Wertheimer Bros., 

 New York, has been calling on retailers. 

 He says that if one may judge by their 

 willingness to place orders for ribbon, 

 a good season is anticipated. 



The George Wittbold Co. has invested 

 a good many thousands of dollars of ac- 

 cumulated profits this summer. At the 

 home place the second new house is just 

 being completed — a big stWcture for 

 show purposes along the Halsted street 

 side. Conarefo walks ;ind benches have 



been put in throughout the place. At 

 Edgebrook several acres have been tiled 

 and the nursery stock replanted in blocks. 

 Much work also has been done in the 

 houses and the boys believe they are now 

 in shape to give undivided attention for 

 some years to the growing of good stock. 

 Fall shipping is said to have opened con- 

 siderably ahead of last year, but the re- 

 tail end has shown a falling off the last 

 two months, compared to the business a 

 year ago. 



E. C. Amling says that the Albert 

 Amling Co., at Maywood, this season has 

 an entire house devoted to Adiantum 

 Farleyense, the first, so far as Mr. Am- 

 ling knows, to be grown in this section 

 for the one purpose of supplying cut 

 fronds for the wholesale market. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. has added 

 two items to the list of decorative greens. 



but says neither one is an instantaneous 

 success. These are bunch laurel and rho- 

 dodendron sprays. The rhododendron 

 does not sell at all, and the laurel but 

 slowly thus far. The retailers appear 

 too accustomed to leucothoe to care to 

 try any other article. 



Muir's reports a season of intermit- 

 tent good business, an occasional run of 

 funeral work or a summer wedding serv- 

 ing to keep things going. The Forty- 

 seventh street store had an especially 

 busy time last week. John T. Muir has 

 been taking his vacation a day at a 

 time this year. 



The Bohanon Floral Co. opened its 

 new store September 3, at 29 Monroe 

 street, opposite Mangel's and only a few 

 steps from H. C. Kowe's. L. R. Bohanon 

 is the manager and has had long experi- 

 ence in leading stores. He has fitted up 

 a neat place. 



The store of the Alpha Floral Co. has 

 been in the hands of the decorators for 

 the last week, getting ready for the fall 

 season. 



Fred Sperry, of Vaughan & Sperry, 

 says he looks for good business this fall 

 — better than last season. 



Charles McCauley, of Washington, 

 D. C, has arrived to take charge of the 

 Riverbank Greenhouses, at Geneva. These 

 are run under the name of R. C. Engle- 

 dew & Co., but are really the property of 

 a man named Fabyan, for whom Engle- 

 devv is secretary. It is a case of the 

 capitalist putting money into the florists' 

 business. He has had several managers 

 and the place is run down, but Mr. Mc- 

 Cauley is capable of building it up. He 

 was until recentlv seeretarv of the Wash-
