The Florists' Review 



JANUABT 9, 1913. 



the wheel, having recovered from a 

 severe illness, and engagements are 

 many for the winter season. 



M. A. Bowe had a couple of dinner 

 decorations last week that were up in 

 the four figures and McConnell, Dards, 

 Bunyard and Clarke's Sons all say the 

 season has opened brilliantly, with the 

 bookings of weddings and dinners more 

 numerous than ever. 



The president of the New York Flo- 

 rists ' Club is an enthusiastic bowler 

 and a member of the Astorias. All 

 the gardeners' societies in this seetion 

 are showing renewed interest in this 

 once popular sport and a national tour- 

 nament is already planned for the week 

 of the National Flower Show, Thumm 's 

 fine alleys having been engaged. Many 

 handsome cups and prizes have already 

 been secured by Secretary Ebel. Splen- 

 did clubs are now rolling regularly at 

 Yonkers, Rutherford, Glen Cove, Tux- 

 edo, Flatbush and Astoria. 



It is J. S. Nicholas and not John D. 

 Nicholas who will open the florists' 

 store at the entrance of the liew Grand 

 Central terminal building at Easter. 

 Mr. Nicholas has a retail store on 

 Forty-second street now, which will be 

 continued. He is also proprietor of 

 the building on West Twenty-eighth 

 street, in which are the wholesale 

 stores of Messrs. Kessler, McManus, 

 Siebrecht & Siebrecht, W. P. Ford and 

 the Growers' Cut Flower Co. 



J. Austin Shaw. • 



December 27 the members of the 

 sales force of Wertheimer Bros, were 

 entertained by the firm with a dinner 

 at Blaser's, on Broadway. All present 

 voted the affair most enjoyable. The 

 flow of eloquence and enthusiasm was 

 unrestrained and the participants dis- 

 banded only at a late hour. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Although the high prices asked for 

 cut flowers, especially carnations, put 

 a certain damper on the activity of 

 business, it was only of short duration, 

 for January 3 and the day following 

 the demand, both locally and shipping, 

 was quite brisk. Monday, January 6, 

 everything was cleaned up before clos- 

 ing time. The installation of the re- 

 cently elected county officials, coupled 

 with plenty of funeral work, was the 

 direct cause. The weather has been 

 dark for some time, which, of course, 

 reduced the daily receipts. Everything 

 seems to move in a most satisfactory 

 manner. 



Club Meeting. 



January 2 a lively attendance was 

 on hand to help install the officers of 

 1913 in the new and cozy clubrooms, 

 located in the Quiet House, at 86 

 Mason street. N. Zweifel read an 

 article published in one of the trade 

 journals, entitled, "Florists' Clubs, 

 Their Field and Their Duty," written 

 by J. O. Thilow, and read before the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Bos- 

 ton. The article contained many good 

 points and valuable information and 

 much credit is due Mr. Zweifel for his 

 idea of bringing it up at that time. 

 C. Dallwig was master of ceremonies 

 in installing the new officers and in 

 a fine manner gave everyone a clear 

 idea of what is expected of him for the 

 coming year.
