The Florists' Review 



ApuiL 30, 1914. 



ceived a large box of phalaenopsis 

 sprays by parcel post from San Fran- 

 cisco. They came through in fair 

 shape, but were a little the worse for 

 having lain in the Chicago postoffice 

 from Saturday afternoon until Monday 

 for lack of a special delivery stamp. 

 Those who use the parcel post for flow- 

 ers should remember that there are no 

 regular deliveries Saturday afternoon 

 or Sunday. 



The first Gladiolus America seen this 

 season reached Zech & Mann April 27. 

 Reversing the usual course, instead of 

 going to New Orleans, these came from 

 there. They were excellent, but might 

 have been cut a little sooner. 



The fine property, 132x660, at the 

 southeast corner of Foster and St. 

 Louis avenues, was sold April 24 by 

 John Reitmeier to E. T. Martin. The 

 eonsideration was not disclosed. Mr. 

 Reitmeier is a well-known carnation 

 grower on Winona street. 



The first peonies are due this week, 

 according to E. E. Pieser, who says 

 Kennicott Bros. Co. had Tennessee 

 stock before the end of April last year. 



To afford better working conditions 

 for the constantly increasing office 

 force, the A. L. Randall Co. has re- 

 moved the balcony over the office space 

 and put in new lights. 



At 1429 Morse avenue, F. A. Park- 

 mire, who trades as the Lake Shore 

 Floral Co., has just finished his first 

 year in business. He is well pleased 

 with the progress made. 



The trade in Chicago will be spe- 

 cially interested in the illustration on 

 page 70 of this issue showing the retail 

 store of the Los Angeles Flower Mar- 

 ket at Easter. The proprietors, two 

 former Chicago florists, stand in the 

 foreground. C. E. Morton formerly 

 was in the retail business here, and 

 Fred Sperry was in the wholesale end 

 in partnership with A. L. Vaughan. 

 They are understood to be doing well 

 at Los Angeles. 



A carload of Belgian bay trees ar- 

 rived at Winterson's Seed Store April 

 28. 



John Kruchten, who of late has been 

 something of an authority on the Eas- 

 ter lily situation, says the present 

 week will see about the end of the 

 glut of stock that failed to make Eas- 

 ter. 



Stollery Bros, were represented in 

 the auto parade of the Federal League 

 Boosters' and Rooters' Club last week. 

 Their truck, decorated with flowers 

 and streamers, attracted a great deal 

 of attention. Mothers' day already is 

 being advertised by Stollery Bros. 

 Printed cards last week were placed 

 prominently in the window, calling at- 

 tention to the date. Attractive bas- 

 kets of roses, sweet peas and daisies 

 are on display. Baskets of flowers 

 have sold well for many months. 



That the sweet pea receipts April 27 

 were the heaviest in the history of the 

 Chicago market was the belief of Kyle 

 & Foerster, who say it certainly was 

 the case so far as their experience goes. 

 Not only are carnations scarcer than 

 ever before at the end of April, but 

 N. J. Wietor says he does not recall 

 any time during the regular season 

 when the supply has been so light. 



The store at 1222 East Sixty-third 

 street is again in charge of Miss Flor- 

 ence Keenan, sister of the proprietor. 

 Miss Keenan was at home for some 

 time following an operation for appen- 

 dicitis, December 8, at the Englewood 

 hospital, and has not yet fully recov-
