Mention The Review when you write 



busy Friday, July 22, with -wreaths, 

 etc., for the big Eawn funeral at Win- 

 netka. This firm also made the casket 

 cover of White Killarney and valley. 

 It was stated that their work for this 

 one funeral would amount to over $600 

 in value. Other leading retailers also 

 had considerable work for this funeral. 



Eventually the Geo. Wittbold Co. ex- 

 pects to replace all its horse-drawn 

 wagons with motor trucks. An order 

 already has been given for a 1,500- 

 pound truck to be built by the Chicago 

 Motor Wagon Co., and figuring is being 

 done on a number of larger tntcks to 

 be used in place of the present wagons. 

 The company now has thirty horses of 

 its own and is hiring about fourteen 

 others. This firm is hauling a large 

 quantity of soil for the new Lincoln 

 park addition. It was stated that fu- 

 neral work kept the retail department 

 on the jump last week. 



: Ernst Rober, at Maywood, says he 

 has 50,000 poinsettia cuttings that soon 

 will be ready for shipment from pots. 



W. J. Smyth is summering, as usual, 

 at bis cottage at Lake Marie, visiting 

 the store usually once a week. 



Phil Schupp has been spending ^ few 

 days at Geneva Lake, where the Bud- 

 long families summer. A. H. Budlong 

 goes up for the week-ends when Mr. 

 Schupp stays in town. 



E. C. Amling and his family and H. 

 N. Bruns and son motored to Lake 

 Marie for a few days' fishing last week. 

 • Will Hocrber spent July 25 at the 

 greenhouses of Hoerber Bros.. Des 

 Plaines. The new range is almost com- 

 pleted and stock looking well. 



Gus Alios, at the store of Wietor 



Bros., says he does not remember a time 

 when business has been so good at this 

 season. 



George Pieser, of Zech & Mann's, is 

 among the week's absentees. 



George Eeinberg has bought a tour- 

 ing car. 



Henry Kruchten is putting in his 

 time at the greenhouses as usual in sum- 

 mer, helping his father, Nick Kruchten, 

 get things going for the new season. In 

 the winter he assists his brother, John 

 Kruchten, in the wholesale store. 



Fred Sperry is on the sick list. A. L. 

 Vaughan, Vho is just back from his va- 

 cation, says Saturday's business, July 

 23, was like a winter day. 



O. Johnson, who sells in the Flower 

 Growers' Market as the Batavia Green- 

 house Co., said July 25 that he still had 

 500 dozen peonies in storage. Klehm's 

 Nurseries, Kennicott & Son and Schiller 

 each had small quantities remaining. 



W. E. Lynch has been out among the 

 aster growers, sizing up the situation. 

 He says it is the general statement that, 

 although the plants given good atten- 

 tion look well, the rate of development 

 after showing bud is extremely slow. 



Along with the first asters, Kennicott 

 Bros. Co. has received lancifolium lilies, 

 tuberoses and tritomas. 



C. M. Dickinson took his family to 

 Pelican lake last week, intending to re- 

 main only a few days. Word that he 

 had caught a 25-pound muskie indicates 

 a postponement of his return. Mrs. E. 

 H. Hunt is at Broadhead, N. Y. 



John Poehlmann says sales are now 

 running quite a little heavier than a 

 year ago. Poehlmann Bros. Co. has be- 



gun to cut Golden Glow mums. A few 

 asters are being grown this year. 

 George Poehlmann is on his vacation. 



John Mangel makes an extremely 

 pretty window decoration of water 

 lilies, in many varieties and colors, 

 from George Schwing. 



An adjourned meeting of the Horti 

 cultural Society will be held at the Art 

 Institute August 2, at which it is ex 

 pected to elect a president and get busy 

 on fall show matters.

 Percy Jones business, speaking of col
