Subject to Market Changes 



Mention The Review when "ou write. 



of the failure to receive a considerable 

 quantity of stock ordered. A large 

 crop of cattleyas is now on, but August 

 Poehlmann says it has not thus far 

 been possible to keep up with the call 

 from the store for these flowers, and 

 that the stock will be materially in- 

 creased; it is the intention to send a 

 collector into Central America after 



cattleya plants, importing for their own 

 use. 



Manager George Asmus has opened a 

 temporary office for the flower show in 

 the cut flower department of the E. F. 

 Winterson Co. He says the prospects 

 for exhibits never were better, and has 

 plans on foot through which he hopes 

 to realize the most attractive arrange- 



ment a Chicago show has yet had. The 

 executive committee of the Horticul- 

 tural Society is holding frequent meet 

 ings, working on the show. 



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

 sizes up the situation accurately when 

 he says that it is no longer a question 

 of supply but of salesmanship in this 

 market. 



A. T. Pyfer now does a 12-hour day. 

 but says he likes city life. He has the 

 new city store of the Chicago Carnation 

 ^o. nicely fitted up. All the office work 

 has been transferred from Joliet to 

 Chicago, including the young lady book 

 keeper, who has been with the concern 

 several years. 



The Northwestern Mutual Life In- 

 surance Co. has made a loan of $200,000, 

 five years, at four and three-fourths per 

 cent, to Luther "W. Bodman, secured by 

 the property at the northeast corner of 

 Wabash avenue and Randolph street, 

 improved with six-story and basement 

 building, the second floor of which is 

 occupied by the Flower Growers' Mar 

 ket. The building still is in course of 

 remodeling. 



Two or three years ago Chrysanthe- 

 mum Touset sported at the J. A. Bud- 

 long establishment, and Phil Schupp 

 says the cut blooms are this season 

 proving about the best seller on the list. 

 The color is a peculiarly deep yellow 

 with a pink tint, approaching bronze. 



Peter Reinberg is one of those who 

 have now dispensed entirely with 

 Bridesmaid. 



C. W. McKellar says it is remarkable 

 the way orchids have increased in de- 

 mand in the last four or five years.
