October 20. 1921 



warm weather for the three preceding 

 days advanced the roses wonderfully, 

 improving the quality while increasing 

 the quantity, and he does not look for 

 any further shortage, at least while 

 chrysanthemums are in season. 



E. F. Winterson and Fritz Bahr have 

 returned from their trip to the Pacific 

 coast. They had a fine time. Mr. Win- 

 terson says they asked for the latest 

 Beview in some flower store each Mon- 

 day and that invariably the answer was: 

 ' ' Here it is, but don 't take it with you. ' ' 

 On their return they were accom- 

 panied by Mr. Winterson 's sister-in-law, 

 who has entered the florists' business at 

 Toppenish, Wash. 



Laying a new concrete sidewalk along 

 the Bandolph street side of the Atlas 

 block has interested many thousands of 

 people during the last week, because the 

 walk forms part of the ceiling of the 

 Zech & Mann store. Flower selling was 

 not interfered with in the least. 



Did you ever hear of a Christmas 

 basket in red and black? Well, T. E. 

 Waters has designed one which takes so 

 well nearly everybody who sees the sam- 

 ple places an order.

 ernize his store on Forty-third street. A

 years of age, is recorded in this week's 

 obituary column.

 Henry, his half interest in Young- 

 quist 's Flower Shop, 851 Irving Park 

 boulevard, and is looking about for an- 

 other place to go into business. 



A building permit was issued last 

 week for George Wienhoeber's new 

 building at 28 North Michigan avenue.

DISCRIMINATING 

 BUYERS 



Are more careful in ordering Roses in a rising 

 market, when assurance is needed of getting 

 just what is paid for. You can buy 30-inch 

 stems and cut them to 24-inch if that is what 

 you need. 



Easy. If you like to lose the money; but if 

 they are too short you can't splice them. 



There is only one way to buy Roses eco- 

 nomically. Order what you want where you 

 know you will get what you ordered. Buy 

 by inches. 



If our price list of RQses in inches does not 

 reach you, ask for it and order where you 

 know what you will get. 



OLD— RELIABLE- ESTABLISHED— SURE.
