ThcWeekly Florists' Review. 



26 



Chrysanthemums 



OUR AIM IS 



to please every customer. To do this, great care is taken in the 

 selection of stock, regardless of grade. We also take the same 

 care in packing* which is a very important part of all orders. No 

 slam-hang method goes here. We are packing and sllipping 

 many orders every day, and to you, Mr. Florist* who have not 

 yet tried us, just place your orders with us, and you will find what 

 we say is correct. We have quantities of stock in everything. Fine 

 Roses and Carnations* Mums in every variety — anything you 

 want from Pompon* the smallest, to the largest and best grown — 

 we want your orders so we can prove the above.

MentioD The Review when you write 



a visitor last week. Mr. Coles is enthu- 

 siastic about his American Beauties, 

 and says that he would not be sur- 

 prised if he took first money for the 

 l>est 100 Beauties at the show here. 



Albert Pettit is cutting some fine 

 mums from his pink sport of Touset. 

 He has quite a stock of them, and in- 

 tends to put them on the market next 

 year. 



George Gause, of Richmond, Ind., J. 

 E. A. Haugh, of Anderson, and E. T. 

 Barnes, of Spencer, were callers last 

 week. Mr. Barnes reports a most suc- 

 i-essful year with his dahlias. The late 

 tall has enabled him to make shipments 

 up to date which run into several thou- 

 i^and blooms daily. 



The Bertermann Bros. Co. was repre- 

 sented in the industrial parade last 

 week with an auto delivery and several 

 wagons, decorated for the occasion. 



L. Benson has resumed operations on 

 the conservatory in the rear of his resi- 

 dence, work on which has been tied up 

 a number of times on account of un- 

 avoidable delays. He expects to get it 

 done in time for use this winter, 



Ed. Bankin has been cutting ° some 

 good mums. He says he has entirely 

 overhauled his heating plant and ex- 

 pects no trouble in that line this winter. 



Ernest Rieman still has two more 

 months on the jury. He says this jury 

 work is not what it is cracked up to be. 



Sidney Smith, chairman of the enter- 

 tainment committee, says he has a few 

 surprises for the guests at the banquet. 



A. Wiegand & Sons report business 

 good. This firm has had a large num- 

 ber of decorations so far this year. 



The florists on the flower market are 

 booming their business with an ad in 

 the Indianapolis News. 



Ed. Larsen, with Baur & Smith, re- 

 ceived an injury from a sprayer which 

 he was pumping, and as a result was 

 away from his work for a few days. 



Young & Smith have been shipping 

 quantities of cattleyas. Their Brides, 

 Maids and Killarneys are also arriving 

 in good shape. 



Carl Sonnenschmidt has been selected 

 as one of the judges for the flower 

 show. 



Alfred Pahud has completed his 

 greenhouses at the west end of Crown 

 Hill and is ready for business. 



H. L. W. 



Flushing, N. Y. — Three boys were re- 

 cently arrested and fined for throwing 

 stones at the Schultz greenhouses and 

 breaking several lights of glass. 



ST. IX)UIS. 



The Market. 



The market was strong last week as 

 to quality and quantity, but there it 

 ended. The retail trade throughout the 

 city was apparently quite dull, as little 

 stock was purchased, and the whole- 

 salers were simply loaded down all the 

 week with all kinds of seasonable stock 

 of extra good quality, in spite of excep- 

 tionally low prices. Of course, much of 

 the stock had to be dumped to make 

 room for the new consignments. 



Chrysanthemum blooms are now com- 

 ing in increasing quantities each day^ 

 and this has caused a bad slump %(' 

 roses and carnations; the price realized 

 for most of the stock was especially 

 low the latter part of the week. Long, 

 fancy Beauties suffered greatly for 

 want of demand, and violets showed 

 the effects of the warm weather; the 

 quality is not as good as it should be 

 at this time of the year. 



It is hoped that this week will bring 

 better results, as a number of the re- 

 tailers have advance orders for wed- 

 dings and other social events. 



Various Notes. 



The Retail Florists' Association will 

 hold its regular monthly meeting Mon- 

 day evening, November 7. Secretary 

 Fred C. Weber, Jr., says he is receiving 

 a list of deadbeats and slow-pay cus- 

 tomers from the members, which list 

 will be printed in book form and sent 

 out to all retailers for their protection. 



Charles Kuehn is still confined to his 

 home with sickness, but his many
