The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Dbceubek 16, 1909. 



twenty-five per cent cheaper than in the 

 same months last season. 



Bassett & Washburn have sent the 

 trade a post card printed in color, featur- 

 ing the O. P. Bassett carnation for 

 Christmas. 



A new flower store has been opened at 

 607 North State street, named the Studio 

 Florists. 



A. E. Hunt, on his way home to Evans- 

 ton from the Flower Growers' Market 

 Sunday, December 12, was in the big 

 wreck on the Northwestern railroad. He 

 was in the same car in which two men 

 were killed and many seriously injured, 

 but escaped with a bad shaking up; it 

 kept him at home a few days. 



The John C. Moninger Co, has recently 

 issued two new catalogues, one on green- 

 house structural material and the other 

 on boilers and generators. Each one is 

 fully illustrated and contains a number of 

 reproductions of blue prints. The boiler 

 catalogue contains some valuable heating 

 tables and general information on the 

 subject, likely to cause it to be preserved. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. says the busi- 

 ness in Christmas greens is running away 

 ahead of expectations, in a wholesale way, 

 and a big retail trade is expected next 

 week. 



John Poehlmann reports valley in ex- 

 cellent demand. They are cutting in con- 

 siderable quantity, but find it all cleaned 

 up, even in the recent stormy days in 

 which local trade was light. 



Leonard Kill says a few bright days 

 will add immensely to Peter Keinberg's 

 cut. 



C. W. McKellar finds the call for white 

 orchids increasing rapidly, possibly be- 

 cause cattleyas still are scarce. 



A well-known Beauty grower, one who 

 is in a position to see and who uses his 

 eyes, predicts that Beauties will be ex- 

 tremely fine property December 23 and 

 24, but that the January thaw will find 

 the king of the Christipas market a vex- 

 ing problem on the wholesaler's hands. 



Kyle & Foerster report that A. L. 

 Glaser, of Dubuque, la., was in town last 

 week to place his Christmas orders, san- 

 guine as to the business outlook. He 

 bought heavier than ever before. 



Theron Brown, formerly with the A. 

 L. Randall Co. and before that with the 

 Central Floral Co., is a holiday addition 

 to the force of the E. Wienhoeber Co. 



E. C. AmUng thinks it is highly im- 

 portant that uniform grades should be 

 established in this market for roses, the 

 same as was done some years ago for 

 Beauties, though it is hardly practical 

 to adopt an arbitrary designation by 

 inches of stem in the case of the smaller 

 roses. As it now is, a buyer who is not 

 ordering regularly often experiences dif- 

 ficulty in making his wants known, and 

 a wholesaler runs the same risk of being 

 misunderstood when he quotes a price 

 to a prospective customer. Mr. Amling 

 thinks many vexations would be avoided 

 if both buyers and sellers could under- 

 stand that a certain name indicated a 

 rose of a certain quality. 



Mrs. John Sterrett returned December 

 10 from her trip to Florida, where Mr. 

 Sterrett recently bought a 10-acre farm 

 for fruit. Since then there has been a 

 display of grape fruit, oranges, etc., at 

 the store of the Benthey-Coatsworth Co. 



Hoerber Bros, are getting figures on 

 the cost of eleven more houses to be 

 erected in the spring, which will about 

 double their glass area at Des Plaines. 



Norby & Hoefle, of Des Plaines, have 

 in the last few days been sending Kenni-
