The Florists^ Review 



January 2, 1913. 



it was iu 1912 and it was necessary 

 for his store staff to work into the 

 wee hours of the -morning in order to 

 take care of the rush deliveries. Plants 

 found an excellent market at the 

 Forty-third street store and cleaned 

 out entirely. 



W. E. Lynch, of A. L. Vaughan & 

 Co., thinks there was less pickled stock 

 on the market during the holidays this 

 year than for a number of seasons. 

 Owing to the good prices obtainable 

 previous to the first rush, there was 

 hardly any incentive for the growers 

 to hold their cuts. 



Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, is 

 of the opinion that Killarneys were 

 of better grade and brought better 

 prices than in other holiday seasons, 

 although some were lacking in color. 



John F. Kidwell, of the Chicago 

 Flower Growers' Association, says they 

 had no trouble with Christmas ship- 

 X^ Aients, although some went to points 

 \0»^here adverse weather conditions 

 made it difficult to get the flowers 

 through in the best of shape. 



Henry Wittbold had two big deco- 

 rating jobs for New Year's, one being 

 at the Chicago Athletic Club and the 

 other at the Grand Pacific hotel. 



Kyle & Foerster say the shipping 

 trade for the holidays was above what 

 they expected. 



J. A. Budlong's store staff found 

 plenty to do during the holidays and 

 more shipping orders were taken care 

 of than ever before, according to Phil 

 Schupp. 



Miss Pauline Anderson, who was a 

 member of the office force of A. Hen- 

 derson & Co., is now located with 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton Grove, 

 where her father is in charge of the 

 plant department. 



With the arrival of 1913 W. N. Eudd 

 completed three years' service on the 

 board of directors of the S. A. F. 

 George Asmus completed his year on 

 the board as junior ex-president. Chi- 

 cago does not cease to be represented 

 among the directors, however, as the 

 incoming president has appointed Au- 

 gust Poehlmann a member to serve 

 until January 1, 1916. 



The notice of the Florists' Club's 

 meeting received in the New Year's mail 

 contained an error. The date is not 

 January 2, but January 9, at the Union, 

 President Foley will step out and Pres- 

 ident-elect French will step in. 



The Examiner December 31 contained 

 a three-column cut of Miss Virginia 

 Poehlmann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, 

 August Poehlmann, showing her in the 

 fancy dancing costume in which she 

 appeared as one of the entertainers at 

 the children's party at the Edgewater 

 Country Club. Miss Poehlmann, be- 

 sides having a mum named for her, 

 has danced for the entertainment of 

 the S. A. F. at several convention social 

 affairs. 



W. J. Smyth spent the holidays with 

 his hip in a plaster cast. His address 

 will be iSt. Luke's Hospital for at least 

 another month, but he thinks he is get- 

 ting along as well as could be expectedi^

The Christmas business of local 

 florists goes down as a record-breaker. 

 Up to the day before Christmas the 

 weather was gloomy and rainy, but it

(Ireds of eager buyers thronged the 

 various stores and nurseries. "^ Every- 

 thing suitable for a gift went with a 

 rush, especially the flowering and select 

 foliage plants and hampers. The cut 

 flowers, no matter what kind, were 

 nearly sold out by night. Christmas 

 morning was a repetition of the pre- 

 vious day, but in many cases the be- 

 lated buyers had to be satisfied with 

 the plants and cut flowers left by early
