The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



OCTOBEU 28, lOOD 



EVERYBODY in the trade visitin j Chicago's Flower Show, 

 which takes place at the Coliseum November 2 to 7 

 inclusive, is cordially invited to make our place his head- 

 quarters. We shall be glad to see you and will do every- 

 thing in our power to make your visit pleasant and agreeable.

meet, for many more Killarney than Maid 

 are being grown this year. Both Kil- 

 larney and My Maryland are to be had 

 with stems three feet long and some 

 equally good Mrs. Jardine are seen, 

 though in nothing like the same quantity. 

 Eichmond has become fine and is selling 

 better. Beauties, like other roses, are 

 much more abundant than a week ago 

 and are cheaper in price. 



The supply of carnations is probably 

 at least double what it was a week ago 

 and, while there is as yet hardly what 

 could be called an adequate supply, still 

 there are carnations for all who call for 

 them. The demand has noticeably fallen 

 off because of the prices which it has 

 been necessary to ask; the prices were 

 so high, considering the quality of the 

 stock, that buyers turned to something 

 else. It will now be necessary to educate 

 them to the fact that carnations again 

 are plentiful, of good quality and at 

 ordinary prices. 



The receipts of eastern violets fell off 

 sharply last week and prices have ad- 

 vanced. There has been another little 

 flurry in valley, which is a periodical oc- 

 currence, but Easter lilies are more abun- 

 dant. Cattleyas have become plentiful. 

 Sweet peas are in limited supply. 



Green goods of all kinds are in large 

 supply, especially smilax strings. 



Wietot's New Interest. 



N. J. Wietor is president and general 

 manager of the Kildust Kemical Kom- 

 pany, recently incorporated with an 

 authorized capital stock of $50,000. The 

 company has a factory and offices at 24 

 West Kinzie street and within a few days 

 will be turning out Kildust by the ton. 

 It is a dust absorbing sweeping com- 

 pound that gives every indication of hav- 

 ing an enormous sale. When sprinkled 

 on the floor before sweeping, the most 

 vigorous handler of the broom fails to 

 raise u particle of dust. While Mr. 

 Wietor is at the head of the concern, 

 and deeply interested in its success, he 

 will not give it his time, the office being 

 in charge of Bert Griffin, whom many 

 florists know, with the manufacturing end 

 in tne hands of another member of the 

 concern. 



Employees' Ball. 



The fourth annual reception and ball 

 given by the Wholesale Florists' Em- 

 ployees' Club took place Wednesday 

 evening, October 27, at Columbia hall 

 and was a most emphatic success. The 

 hall was handsomely decorated, the plants 

 coming from the George Wittbold Co,

QubMeetins. 



There was another good turnout of 

 members at the weekly meeting of the 

 Florists' Club October 22. Flower show- 

 preparations were about the only sub- 

 ject under discussion. George Asmus. 

 who is both manager of the show and 

 president of the club, occupied the chair. 

 It appears that the progress on show 

 preparations leaves little to be desired. 

 A splendid show is assured. The re-
