ters, of Poehlmaun Bros. Co., and by 

 Paul Klingsporn, of the Chicago Flower 

 Growers' Association. An address was 

 made by President George Stollery, on 

 ''Good Fellowship in the Retail Trade." 

 Those not holding membership cards 

 were invited to depart when the real 

 association meeting was called to order. 



Various Notes. 



The 5-story and basement building 

 48x162 at 127 to 131 North Wabash ave- 

 nue has been leased to Colby & Sons, 

 furniture dealers, for a terra of twenty- 

 five years at an laverage net annual 

 rental of $17,000. Bassett & Washburn 

 occupy the front half of the second floor 

 and happen to hold the longest lease of 

 any of the tenants.. They can hold pos- 

 session until May 11 1916. The building 

 is to be remodeled for Colby & Sons and 

 an offer has been made for the florists' 

 lease, but Mr. Washburn will not con- 

 sider it until he sees another store to 

 his liking. 



Having decided to go in a little 

 stronger than at first planned, Meyer 

 & Dramm, the new firm at Elmhurst, 

 the debut of which was announced in 

 last week 's issue of The Review, has 

 doubled its order with the John C. 

 Moninger Co. and will put up two de- 

 tached houses, each 42x400. Mr. Meyer 

 stated March 3 that an order has been 

 given A. N. Pierson, Inc., for 10,000 

 Killarney Brilliant, 5,000 White Killar- 

 ney and 2,000 Hadley rose plants. Ar- 

 rangements have been made with the 

 E. C. Amling Co. for marketing the cut. 



The Chicago Florists' Club meets 

 March 5 at the Hotel La Salle and the 

 secretary announces a novelty night, 

 the understanding being that growers 

 of new roses are especially invited to 

 make exhibits. The question of affil- 

 iating with the S. A. F. will be the 

 special order of business, but a number 

 of other subjects are down for discus- 

 sion. 



When Pyfer & Olsem acquired the 

 Star Floral Co., at Wilmette, they found 

 themsei|\'es with a prosperous retail de- 

 partment and John Flint, manager for 

 the former proprietor, has been retained 

 to keep the retail branch growing.

 Conn. 



Having spent a week in the office, 

 without a breath of fresh air, Fred 

 Klingel walked from Niles Center to 

 Morton Grove in the snow storm Sun- 

 day afternoon, March 1. He stopped 

 on his way to visit his uncle, Emil Nel- 

 son, who has a fine range of seven 

 houses about half way between the two 

 railroad stations. Mr. Nelson is one 

 of the oldest rose growers in this sec- 

 tion, having been at it over twenty 

 years. He has his houses planted with 

 Killarney, White Killarney and a few 

 Maryland and Hilda. He ships half 

 his cut to Erne & Klingel and half to 

 John Kruchten. 



After recovering from the effect of 

 letting a sack of cement fall on his 

 right foot February 27, Charles Kear- 

 don will leave this week to take charge 

 of the new private estate of E. C. 

 Crosette, at Davenport, la. He has 

 been at E. M. Barton's, at Hinsdale, 

 for some years.
