The Fbrists^ Review 



OcroBSK 6, 1021 



son why florists should pay their bills 

 before the middle of the month. He was 

 one of the committee representing de- 

 positors in the matter of the Michigan 

 Avenue Trust Co., which failed, and in 

 the course of the negotiations it came to 

 his attention that almost without ex- 

 ception bank failures have occurred in 

 the second half of the month. When 

 the Michigan Avenue Trust closed, just 

 after mid-month, Mr. Enders' concern 

 hiid over $4,000 worth of cliecks in the 

 mails. Had they cleaned their slate a 

 few days earlier they would have been 

 that much less deeply interested. 



Not content with a new refrigerator 

 surrounded by old fixtures, Fred Greager 

 has given Buchbinder Bros, an order for 

 a complete set of new fixtures to match 

 tlie refrigerator installed l.ast month in 

 liis store opposite Oakwoods cemetery. 

 Frank Schramm, of Crystal Lake, 

 says he does not believe the growers as 

 ;i class have cause either for complaint 

 or alarm. He finds that to October 1 his 

 own averages per flower and per plant 

 are almost exactly even with a year ago. 

 And last year no growers went broke! 



A. B. C. Miller is on a fortnight's trip 

 I'.ast. D. Dumser started out October :{ 

 on a long trip by motor, through Mich- 

 igan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and 

 Indiana. 



John Steinmetz returned October 1 

 from a hunting trip among the lakes. 

 He found plenty of ducks, although it 

 was a little early for the big flights. 

 The ducks are staying nortli later this 

 autumn than usual. 



The store and lease of tlie University 

 Floral Co., 6302 University avenue, are 

 being offered in the daily papers as for 

 sale. 



Visitors to the Parkside Greenhouses, 

 on Seventieth street, comment on the 

 excellence of the pot plants grown in 

 old houses. The reason, perhaps, why 

 the plants are good is that each one is 

 raised a pet. Luke Collins, the pro- 

 prietor, has little use for the hose, but 

 the old, long-spout watering can never 

 is far from his hand. 



L. P. Schroer, 2341 West Sixty-third 

 street, has placed an order witli Buch- 

 l>inder Bros, for .a complete set of new 

 store fixtures, including a 10 foot dis- 

 play refrigerator. 



H. M. Aspinwall and W. H. Ludeke, 

 trading as Aspinwall & Ludeke, have 

 leased the M. F. Mersch range at Pala- 

 tine and will grow cut flowers for tlie 

 Chicago market. 



September 29 was a hot day, the thiT 

 inometer showing 86 degrees in the 

 shade, but there was an infallible indi- 

 i-ation of the approach of autumn in the 

 window of the Kreitling Floral Co., on 

 Van Buren street. A piece of paper 

 pasted in the show window road. "Vio- 

 lets have come." 



I. Inoue, manager ol tlie United 

 Flower & Supply Co., San Francisco, 

 who has been here for two or three 

 weeks, has decided to settle down. He 

 has rented an office at room 1503 Mai- 

 lers building, corner Wabash avenue 

 and Madison street, where he will make 

 liis headquarters for the month of Oc- 

 Tober and probably for November. His 

 lirm is shipping large quantities of 

 ihrysanthemums from California to this 

 market, about thirty-five boxes iirriving 

 in the refrigerator car Octolier 1 and 

 nearly as many more in the car which 

 came in October 4. 



R, Scheflfler, at Wheaton, has his en- 

 tire place in chrysanthemums and pom 



V -M- 



A SUPER-NAN 



Could not successfully produce all of the 

 fifty or sixty varieties which are the sev- 

 eral specialties of our various growers. 



And their separate establishments are 

 never "on" or "off crop" simultaneous- 

 ly, nor do many contend with the same 

 troubles. 



The result is that we represent a sup- 

 ply, steady and reliable, month by 

 month, day by day, hour by hour, 

 throughout the year. 



START NOW and BE INSURED.
