The Florists' Review 



March 19, 1914. 



C. Schupp says Hadley and Killarney 

 Brilliant will be added to the list. 



That neither the A. L. Bandall Co. 

 nor any of its employees has any con- 

 nection with the Chicago Decorating 

 Co. is the unequivocal statement of 

 Frank Johnson, secretary of the Ean- 

 dall corporation. 



Th^ Cook County Florists' Associa- 

 tion will hold its regular meeting at 

 the Tavern March 19. It will be in- 

 stallation night. The subject of affi- 

 liation with the S. A. F. will come up'. 



Divided into lots according to the 

 heat needed by each, Tim Matchen says 

 Peter Reinberg has 3,000 pots of lilies 

 this season. He never has made lilies 

 a specialty nor sold them in pots out- 

 side the city. 



We were in the height of the Easter 

 rush at this time last year and C. L. 

 Washburn comments that it is not pos- 

 sible to compare business conditions 

 this month with those of a year ago; 

 not till March and April can be put 

 together and compared with the same 

 two months of 1913 will any conclusion 

 be trustworthy. 



The increased supply of callas is 

 commented on by A. L. Vaughan, who 

 says he fears the crop is too late to 

 give the growers the usual returns. 



Wendland & Keimel Co., Elmhurst, 

 has thrown out a house of Killarneys 

 that could not make an Easter crop 

 and is planting it with Milady, about 

 6,000 plants. 



Counter trade this week has begun 

 to boom at the big Madison street store 

 of W. W, Barnard Co. 



John Michelsen says double violets 

 are the wholesaler's most difficult prop- 

 osition at present. 



Things are active at the corner of 

 Wabash avenue and Monroe street. A 

 new front is being put in the store of 

 Lubliner & Trinz and work is being 

 rushed on fitting up the new store of 

 the Bohannon Floral Co. to have it 

 ready for Easter. 



One of the few growers cutting 

 stocks in quantity is 8. Wiffin, of Des 

 Plaines, according to O. A. Tonner. 

 Mr. WifBu'B principal crops are snap- 

 dragon, sweet peas and stocks. 



Beturning from a western trip, R. 

 J. Parker, with the A. L. Randall Co., 

 says preparations are everywhere afoot 

 for a tremendous Easter. 



Passing through town March 15, 

 President Theodore Wirth was joined 

 by J. J. Hess, of Omaha; J. A. Evans, 

 of Richmond; August Poehlmann, of 

 Morton Grove, and George Asmus, 

 chairman of the national flower show 

 committee, for the trip to Boston to 

 the annual meeting of the S. A. F. di- 

 rectors. 



The Chicago delegation to the S. A. 

 F. directors' meeting at Boston will 

 move over, to New York March 21 to 

 take in the spring show and Victor 

 Bergman, of O. J. Friedman's, will go 

 east March 22 for the same purpose. 



A stubborn cold has incapacitated 

 John Sinner for business this week, and 

 the fear is expressed that pneumonia 

 may develop. 



F. C. Hoerber congratulates himself 

 that the range of Hoerber Bros., at 

 Des Plaines, is in better shape than at 

 any time since the big storm hit it 

 last spring. 



M. C. Gunterberg looks forward to 

 the biggest Easter on record. 



Paul K. Klingsporn intimates that if
