The Weekly Florists' Review, 



September 23, 1909. 



EVERT BUYER IN THE CHICAGO MARKET SHOULD NOTE 



Standing Orders Our Specialty 



We have on our bookB a conetantly increasing number of regular orders for shipment daily, every other 

 day or twice a week, as required. The buyers alter these orders from time to time, as their needs indicate, 

 and each one knows the hour his order goes out— he can wire additions any day extra business makes 

 necessary. It's a fine thing to know that a certain amount of good stock can be depended on to arrive 

 regularly. That's why so many place these orders with us. 



Roses, Carnations, Asters, Mums, Greens 



No house has better facilities for filling orders, none has fuller knowledge of the needs of the trade, and 

 none gives so close a personal attention to seeing that every order is correctly and satisfactorily filled. 

 We should like YOUR business this season.

market is larger than ever by natural 

 growth, and it looks now as if the grower 

 was the important factor in this year's 

 violet market. The first of the crop ar- 

 rived last week, but it is too early for 

 much demand. 



Retailers' Smoker. 



The smoker of the New York Florists' 

 Ketail Association was held at Reisen- 

 weber's Friday evening, September 17, 

 and nearly 100 enjoyed a fraternal time, 

 an elaborate lunch, a social smoke and 

 a long and varied vaudeville entertain- 

 ment, supplied by a professional firm. 

 The society was so well pleased with its 

 success that a monthly banquet is in 

 view, similar to the method of the 

 Canadian club. A goodly number of the 

 prominent Greek florists of New York 

 were present, and an able address on 

 union and fraternity was made by 

 George D. Nicholas, the orator of this 

 nation in New York. A stirring and 

 practical address was also given by Mr. 

 Rosenthal, the attorney of the society. 

 President Dards and Alex. McConnell are 

 still in Europe. 



Several visitors received the courtesy 

 of an invitation. Brooklyn retailers were 

 represented by Messrs. Trepel and Hanig. 

 The festivities lasted until midnight. The 

 committee worked harmoniously and suc- 

 cessfully, and the spirit of optimism and 

 good will seemed universal. 



It is planned to make the next banquet 

 a love feast, to include wholesalers, grow- 

 ers and retailers in one grand celebration. 



Dahlia Show. 

 The seventy-eighth annual exhibition 

 of the American Institute opened Tues- 

 day, September 21, at the Berkeley Ly- 

 ceum. "Will Rickards is manager. Among 

 the well known gardeners there were 

 Messrs. Hale, Duffy, Horn, Kennedy, 

 Murray, Wait, Manda, Bell, McKenzie, 

 Beattie and Seaton. The judges were 

 Messrs. Duckham, Herrington, Totty, 

 Eccles, Stanley, Brown and Turner. The 

 principal prize winners on cut flowerS 

 and pot plants were Messrs. Hathaway, 

 Stillman, Lovett, Lothrop, Townsend, 

 Adams, Burt, Weatherbee, Childs, Gug- 

 gcnheimer, Turner, Manda, Noe, Pierson
