The Florists' Rcvte\v 



OoTOHim 13. 1921 



be hold at the Broadway Armory No- 

 vember 1 to 5, iuclusive. He stated that 

 arrangements were under way to hold 

 a flower show in connection with the 

 exposition. Mr. Schiller requested the 

 cooperation of the Chicago Florists' 

 C'lub. Upon motion, duly seconded, it 

 was decided that the Chicago Florists' 

 ('lub support and endorse this exposi- 

 tion and that the members be notified 

 and requested to support it. 



Mr. Pearson, president of the Chi- 

 cago Commercial Flower Crowers' As- 

 sociation, stated that the growers 

 around Chicago have been lax in sup- 

 ])orting the flower show. He pointed out 

 that the Chicago growers have the ma- 

 terial and that they should exhibit their 

 stock. The public is glad to see it, and 

 the growers should take every advan- 

 tage to make exhibitions whenever pos- 

 sible. Otto Amling and Hans Jepsen 

 spoke on this subject. 



T. E. Waters reported the progress in 

 connection with the chrysanthemum 



Mr. Jepsen exhibited a fine vase of 

 Chrys.anthemum Golden Queen. The 

 flowers cut this season have been ob- 

 tained three weeks earlier than usual. 

 A vote of thanks has been tendered to 

 Mr. Jepsen for his exhibit of chrysan- 

 themums. 



Various Notes. 



Sonu' of the growers have iigured out 

 that they must take $1.50 i)er plant off 

 their roses if the.y are to make money 

 tliis season. (Considering that twenty- 

 tTlvo flowers per plant is a fair average 

 fpr a good grower, it means less than 

 7icents per flower as a season's average, 

 wliich does not seem difficult of attaip- 

 mient, even though some of the summer 

 ciiit has been sold as low as !50 cents per 

 hundred. 



; On the niglit of Oct(d)er 6 a quartette 

 of the representatives of the Chicago 

 J-'lower (trowcrs' Association set out for 

 a' look at the mums and new roses at 

 Kichmond. They sj)ent the forenoon 

 of October 7 at the Hill and Lemon 

 places, the afternoon at Indianapolis 

 and were home by bedtime. In the 

 party were Paul K. Klingsporn, Charles 

 Mcf'anley, Fred Stielow ;in(l Frank 

 , Schramm. 



A beautiful display of crotons, show- 

 characteristics pointing to Philadelphia 

 iirigin, has been attracting much atten- 

 tion in the east window of the Fleisch- 

 man Floral Co.. on .lackson boulevard. 

 Manager Mallinson is fond of the croton. 

 He says it makes a window bright and 

 gav, relievin<; tlic monotony of coiitiii 

 uoiis cut flower decoration; that a few 

 plants can be sold at a good price and 

 that as !i finish the foliage can be used 

 u\i iri effective funeral pieces. 



H. Scheffler, of Wheaton. cut his first 

 mums of the season October 8. Most of 

 liis pomjjons are late varieties. 



E. C. Amling 's many friends have en- 

 joyed, this week, seeing him again on 

 "the market and have been specially 

 pleased to note that since his last visit 

 he has regained his liealth, after his ill- 

 ness of more than a year's duration. 

 Mr. Aniliug is again taking an active 

 hand in the affairs of the E. C. Amling 

 Co.. of Los Angeles, and jdans to give 

 it his winters, while devoting the sum- 

 mers to his interests here. Mrs. Amling 

 is with him on this trip, but the Chi- 

 cago winters are too severe for her and 

 they will go back to the "sunny" state 

 when cold weather comes. Ernst Am-
