The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



October 20, 1910. 



P. r. Farrell, 4643 State street, says 

 that funeral work has held up well and 

 /> constitutes the main call at his store, 

 although he expects a good plant trade 

 for the holidays. Mr. Farrell is one of 

 the many florists who use goldfish in 

 their display windows, and he states 

 that they are worth far more than the 

 slight care involved. 



Bassett & Washburn have two houses 

 28x200 devoted exclusively to sweet 

 peas, planted in successional batches. 

 The first batch is just beginning to 

 flower, so they expect to pick steadily 

 till after Easter. 



The Norwood Park Floral Co., con- 

 ducted by F, Knoeppel and Carl Nie- 

 mann, has been sold to Wm. Kavina. 



J. W. Ensweiler, who has four houses 

 at 5325 South Morgan street, expects 

 to begin cutting his mums next week. 

 These are mostly in mid-season varie- 

 ties, such as Chadwick, Eaton, Golden 

 Glow, Ivory and October Frost. There 

 are also some benches of carnations and 

 the usual run of palms, ferns and other 

 plants. Mr. Ensweiler says funeral 

 work is good. 



John Michelsen, of the E.' Q. Amling 

 Co., says that in spite of the unfavor- 

 able condition of the market, last 

 week's sales for his house showed a 

 gain of one-third when compared with 

 the same week in 1909. 



J. W. Breakey, who has a well 

 equipped store at 3907 Cottage Grove 

 avenue, says that business has been 

 much better with him this summer and 

 fall than it was a year ago. Mr. 

 Breakey had the table decorations for 

 the Jewish banquet at the Standard 

 Club October 13. 



R. C. Lange h^s a neat store and 

 greenhouses at 3339 North Whipple 

 street, and does quite a retail business. 

 Mr. Lange has about 10,000 mums of 

 the Enguehard, White Bonnaffon, Oc- 

 tober Frost and Glory of the Pacific 

 varieties that are coming on in fine 

 shape. 



John Schoepfle, who has recently re- 

 turned from a three months' trip in 

 Europe, says he is more than pleased 

 with the business done at his store at 

 933 Belmont avenue during his ab- 

 sence. Trade is much better than a 

 year ago, and Mr. Schoepfle has hired 

 extra help to look after it. 



The new conservatory of Stollery 

 Bros, is completed and certainly is a 

 credit to the firm. It is a modern, 

 light, airy room, about 36x48 feet, and 

 extends from the rear of the store at 

 1046 Wilson avenue through to Win- 

 throp avenue, where there is another 

 artistic entrance. By day the light 

 streams in through an immense sky- 

 light, which takes up almost the entire 

 ceiling space, and by night a brilliant 

 illumination of electric lights attr.icts 

 visitors and makes a beautiful display. 

 The conservatory is not yet fully 

 stocked, but with the mums that are 

 now arriving from their greenhouses, 

 they expect soon to have everything in 

 tip-top shape. 



Henry Van (Jelder says he expects to 

 sell 150,000 mums in the next two 

 months, which, as the sporting editor 

 would say, is some mums, believe us. 

 At E. H. Hunt's Clifford Pruner says 

 the supply department is working to its 

 full capacity. 



Among the week's visitors have been 

 Paul Beyer, of South Bend, who says 

 business holds up to the best of pre- 

 vious years; Laurette E. Miller, of the 

 Findlay Flower Store, to be opened at
