The Florists^ Review 



Apbil 9, 1914. 



It is the opinion of John Michelsen, 

 of the E. C. Amling Co., there will be 

 smaller plantings of Beauties for next 

 year. Beauties unquestionably require 

 sun to set buds and for the last two 

 seasons results have been particularly 

 unsatisfactory. The growers have been 

 all in much the same boat, cutting lit- 

 tle during the months of brisk demand 

 and getting low prices when they had 

 good cuts. 



When Ejrank Oechslin's customers 

 called him up last week and said 

 "Send another dozen plants" of this 

 or that, the answer was, "All right, 

 but we shall have to take it off your 

 Easter order." Mr. Oechslin wishes 

 he was in the soap business, so he 

 could keep a warehouse full of stock 

 all the time. 



It is said of A. Lange's that more 

 customers are waited on there than in 

 any other store in town. There are 

 other stores, however, where the indi- 

 vadual sales are believed to average 

 larger. 



Business at the new store in the ro- 

 tunda of the Insurance Exchange build- 

 ing is reported as opening well for 

 Zalinger & Hirsch. 



Palm Sunday O. W. Frese spent at 

 Morton Grove, his first visit there 

 since the S. A. F. went in a special 

 train, he says. 



A meeting of the Chicago Florists' 

 Club is announced for tonight, April 

 9, but no large attendance can be 

 looked for, in the midst of the Easter 

 rush. 



Alfred Fischer and wife spent a few 

 days visiting at Rochester after the 

 recent bowling congress at Buffalo. 



The fortnight of dark weather, ac- 

 cording to N. J. "Wietor, has thrown 

 after the holiday the biggest crop of 

 Beauties ever cut by Wietor Bros. 



An excellent start at Indiana Harbor 

 is reported by D. T. Matchen. 



A bad cold on the lungs is adding 

 to the difficulties of John Kruchten'a 

 work this week. 



A good many growers have their fin- 

 gers crossed: it was just a year ago, 

 the Monday following Easter, that the 

 big wind hit the Hoerber plant, and 

 others. 



Bulbous stock is selling better than 

 it did earlier in the season, according 

 to E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co. 

 To give his bad leg a few days' rest, 

 Clifford Pruner has come in off the 

 road to spend Easter. 



Strikes in the building trades are 

 delaying the work on the new plant 

 of the Ickes-Braun Mill Co., but Carl 

 Ickes hopes to install much of the ma- 

 chinery prior to the completion of the 

 buildings. 



After an illness of ten days H. D. 

 Schiller is carrying his part of the Eas- 

 ter rush. 



Having cut back a good part of its 

 Beauty plants, the Batavia Greenhouse 

 Co., at Batavia, 111., expects to cut new 

 Beauties for Memorial day. 



One's heel is not the' ordinary place 

 for a boil, but that accounts for Harry 

 Manheim's recent limp. 



The Mrs. Bussell rose seems espe- 

 cially at home in the establishment of 

 Sinner Bros. They will plant all they 

 could root of it. 



One of Tuesday's ellction judges was 

 Arthur Weatherwax, of Smyth's, who 

 served in the forty-fifth precinct of the 

 Third ward. 



A loss in glass was sustained in a 

 wind storm, March 26, by Henry Ilg, of 



"We Hake Them Better"
