The Florists' Review 



Sbftiubiib 17, 1914. 



BUYERS out of town may rest easy these days if their orders are sent to us — mail or 

 wire. It is the old saying, "If you can't get it anywhere else you can get it at 

 Kennicott's." That's true of all autumn Cut Flowers and Greens. We have everything: 

 you need. ^ -^4

ceived 27,729 votes, heatling the list, 

 the next of the nine other successful 

 ci^ndidates receiving only 20,282 votes. 

 lix. Eeinberg's success Was all the more 

 striking from the fact that there were 

 148 candidates for the ten places and 

 the florist's vote is remarkable from 

 the fact that his name was away down 

 in the middle of the list, where he would 

 catch none of the chance votes. There 

 promises to be a hot election, as the 

 Repi^blican-Progressive had in the pri- 

 mary 38,124 votes for president of the 

 board, Mr. Reinberg having 36,878. 



At the same primary. Joseph A. Men- 

 del, who runs two retail stores on the 

 west, side, 'sought the Democratic nom- 

 ination for sberiflf. Out of six candi- 

 dates he ran second, receiving 25,792 

 votes against 50,215 for the winner. 



- Various Notes. 



Frank J. Potocka, who recently has 

 been with the J. B. Deamud Co. and 

 for a number of years employed by 

 various houses in the market, states 

 that he will open a wholesale cut flower 

 establishment September 19 at 179 to 

 183 North Wabash avenue, the south- 

 east corner of Lake street, where 

 fixtures are now being installed. The 

 name under which the business will be 

 conducted will be the Frank Florist Co. 



Fred Klingel, of Erne & Klingel, has 

 got the better of the stomach trouble 

 that spoiled his summer. He says he 

 did it principally by will power. 



The Fleischman Floral Co. reports 

 that steamer business is opening up 

 again. This has been an important item 

 of the summer business. For instance, 

 orders aggregating $500 had been trans- 

 mitted to New York for the Vaterland 

 for the sailing next after the declara- 

 tion of war. As the Vaterland still is 

 tied up at New York, the business was 

 lost. Quite a few orders were sent 

 last week for the Mauretania. 



After a stay at Excelsior Springs, 

 Mo., Arnold Ringier returned tome Sep- 

 tember 14. He has recovered from the 

 attack of inflammatory rheumatism and 

 neuritis which for four weeks kept him 

 in bed with a 'fifained nurse in attend- 

 ance, but the return of his strength is 

 slow. Also, bis vest now goes at least 

 once and a half way around. 



John Kruehten was a visitor at Mil- 

 waukee last week. 



A. L. Vaughan says his firm had the 

 largest receipts of asters September 12 

 of any i&y this season. 



George V. Wienhoeber ia receiving 

 congratulations on the arrival last 

 week of a little daughter. 



After two weeks of rest, Fred Ot- 

 tenbacher returned to the market Sep- 

 tember 14 and the staff of Zech & Mann 

 is complete for the season.

A fortnight's term of jury service 

 was begun September 14 by A. C. Spen- 

 cer, with Kyle & Foerster. 



Three houses of Ophelia at Peter 

 Eeinberg's establishment are among 

 the things in which Emil Eeichling 

 takes most pride this season. He says 

 it is an exceptionally fine grower, and 

 his brother, Felix, at the store, says it 

 sells well. The Eeinberg motor truck 

 is resplendent in a new coat of paint. 



O. A. Tonner has been figuring up 

 the carnation cuts of last season. The 

 general impression is that the produc- 

 tion was light, but the records show 

 that the cuts were almost exactly the 

 saUie as' the year before. One grower 

 with nearly 40,000 plants had a differ- 

 ence of only 500 flowers in the number 

 cut in two years. 



According to Gus AUes, with Wietor 

 Bros., Killarney Brilliant already has 

 proved its right to a place at the head 

 of the list of pink roses. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. has been using 

 emptied orange boxes for plant ship- 

 ments this spring, and Guy W. French 

 says much success has attended their 

 use.
