The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBBH 20, 1921 



(Continued from paire 37 ) 



The greater partj and the best, of the 

 chrysanthemums still come from Cali- 

 fornia. Some excellent Bonnaffons from 

 Los Angeles are seen. But it will not 

 be long before the local growers will be 

 cutting heavily of both large blooms 

 and pompons. Carnations will not in- 

 crease so rapidly, as many growers 

 benched poor plants and find they are 

 taking hold slowly. Orchids are in- 

 creasingly abundant and selling cheaply, 

 judged by the prices of the last two 

 years. Lilies, on the other hand, are 

 scarce and high, making as much as 30 

 cents when good. Valley usually is 

 equal to the demand, but more sweet 

 peas could be used. There are only a 

 few violets as yet. Celosia still is every- 

 where, but other outdoor flowers have 

 practically disappeared. 



Wlttbold Has Bad Fire. 



About 3 a. m., October 17, fire was 

 discovered in the sheds of the George 

 Wittbold Co., at Edgebrook, and before 

 the flames could be extinguished all the 

 service buildings and everything inflam- 

 mable in them had been destroyed. As 

 usual in such cases, the ends of t)ie 

 greenhouses abutting on the boiler shed 

 were burned off. Fortunately the 

 weather was mild and the stock in the 

 greenhouses suffered comparatively lit- 

 tle damage. The houses were filled to 

 capacity, with palms, ferns and cycla- 

 mens principally, and the stock seems to 

 have suffered no damage beyond the 

 first few feet in the burned ends of the 

 houses. The sheds contained fifteen 

 cars of coal and two motor trucks, 

 among other things. Clearing away the 

 debris showed that the damage was not 

 as great as at first thought. It was pos- 

 sible to get up steam October 18. 



Who's Who. 



J. P. Degnan celebrated his forty- 

 eighth birthday anniversary Sunday, 

 October 16. He began work in the seed 

 trade when 10 years of age, under S. F. 

 Leonard's instruction. 



W. J. Smyth is the youngest man you 

 know, for his age. He was born October 

 20, 1863. 



August Poehlmann will observe his 

 fifty-second birthday anniversary Octo- 

 ber 21. He was born at Milwaukee, in 

 1869. 



Next Monday, October 24, two well- 

 known growers will call each other up to 

 offer felicitations. A. H. Budlong was 

 born that day in 1870, N. J. Wictor in 

 1872. 



Various Notes. 



Albert Koehler, treasurer of the A. B. 

 C, says he has been pleasantly disap- 

 pointed in the bulb business this season. 

 Their imports were considerably larger 

 than last year and he thought they had 

 stock enough to keep them doing busi- 

 ness as long as anyone would want 

 bulbs, which usually is into December. 

 Instead, the demand has been so much 

 heavier than expected they find them- 

 selves practically sold out before the 

 end of October. They would buy if 

 good stock were in surplus anywhere. 



Victor, grown by Wendland & Keimel 

 Co., is a beautiful rose. 



E. C. Amling and Mrs. Amling spent 

 the week end visiting relatives at Mil- 

 waukee. «
