The Florists' Review 



OCTOBBR 27, 1921 



Franks, of Champaign, 111.; W. J. Smyth 

 and Rudolpli Schit^lc, su])erintendent of 

 the greenhouses at Lincoln park. Ex- 

 hibits will be judged by points; 50 

 points for quality, 40 points for variety, 

 10 points for quantity, total 100 points. 



"Growers only are eligible to com- 

 pete for the prizes. Stock must be 

 grown by the exhibitors. Entries must 

 be made to Peter Pearson, 5732 Gunni- 

 son street, Kildare 6418, chairman of 

 the flower show committee of the Up- 

 town Chicago Exposition, not later than 

 noon Monday, October 31. Entry is 

 free. Arrangements will be made to 

 call for the cut flowers at the commis- 

 sion houses. Vases will be furnished 

 and the staging will be done by the 

 flower show committee. Everything 

 points to the complete success of the 

 exposition and flowers will receive spe- 

 cial prominence and publicity. 



"H. Dieu Schiller, of Schiller the 

 Florist, president of the exposition, 

 says it is a foregone conclusion flowers 

 will be kept in the front, and he is ably 

 assisted by the following florists, who 

 have bought space and will have indi- 

 vidual exhibits: Albert Hall, Clody's 

 Flower Shop, Birchwood Florist, Stol- 

 lery Bros, and Schiller the Florist. 

 With that end in view, Mr. Schiller ap- 

 pointed George Stollery, of Stollery 

 Bros., chairman of the decorating 

 committee to see that flowers take the 

 prominence to which they are entitled. 

 The trade should be proud of the florists 

 in Uptcwn Chicago, whose effort and 

 initial work made this exposition a 

 reality." 



"The Store Without a Door." 



The editors of the real estate columns 

 of the daily papers have at length heard 

 about George Wienhoeber's new store 

 on Michigan avpiiue, now under con- 

 struction, and have had a pleasant half 

 hour over its unusual features. The 

 Herald and Examiner for Sunday, Oc- 

 tober 23, gave Mr. Wienhoeber's enter- 

 prise a column write-up and the same 

 day the Tribune ])rinted a cut of the 

 store front as it will appear. The 

 editors call it the store without a door, 

 because the entrance is to be through 

 the adjoining building. It develops that 

 Mr. Wienhoeber's lease on the ground, 

 10x103, is for seven vears at a term 

 rental of $63,200. 



Boses. 



Paul Weiss estimates that there are 

 more roses grown in the Maywood and 

 Melrose Park district than in any other 

 area of equal size in the country; his 

 figure is approximately half a million 

 plants. 



Some of the best in that district are 

 at the greenhouses of the Weiss & 

 Meyer Co., where Henry Meyer has his 

 Premier and Columbia looking about 

 right for Christmas. Some benches, of 

 course, are grown without cropping, 

 notably Ophelia, which Mme. Butterfly, 

 now in small number, will probably oust 

 next season. The big Lord & Burnham 

 house is filled with Premier, now in 

 splendid condition that cooler weather 

 has come. 



One side bench is particularly inter- 

 esting in this house. There Jire several 

 plants of Priscilla, not long enough 

 planted to give evidence of its virtue. 

 A red that is something to be admired 

 is from E. G. Hill's place; it is called 

 Earl Gray and makes a beautiful bud. 

 Red Columbia is here, too. Some other
