FLORISTS' REVIEW 



When Writins Advertisers 



Cattleyas are moving well, but there 

 is no shortage. Prices vary consider- 

 ably, for there is much difference in 

 quality. Some of the stock now comingK 

 in is superb. Oncidiums are more abun- 

 dant than ever before. Gardenias are 

 scarce. Quite a few gladioli are seen, 

 standing around, for they do not move. 

 Dahlias still arrive, for there has been 

 no frost. The green goods market is 

 quiet. Plenty of everything. 



Various Notes. 



Word has arrived from Nashville that 

 Thomas H. Joy, of the Joy Floral Co., 

 and Miss Monica McQinnis were quietly 

 married October 15 and are on their 

 way to Chicago, due here the latter 

 part of the present week. 



October is birthday month at Win- 

 terson's Seed Store. The King of Ire- 

 land was 39 October 16. L. H. Win- 

 terson was 37 October 10, but there 

 was no celebration, that being post- 

 poned until Mrs. Winterson recovers 

 from an illness. 



Frank Garland, Des Plaines, is box- 

 ing over 175,000 French and Dutch 

 bulbs. He has received word that 9,000 

 longiflorum lilies will be delivered in a 

 day or two. 



Willie Abrahamson, who has been 

 with the Chicago Flower Growers' Co. 

 since his return from Denver, has 

 joined the force of Percy Jones, which 

 now numbers seven. 



Steve Miner, who was with Kennicott 

 Bros. Co. for many years, but for the 

 last five years has been working for 

 Cook county, says be is planning to 

 open a retail store on the northwest 

 aide. 



A. Lange says that with him Septem- 

 ber was considerably ahead of last 

 year and he considers the retail busi- 

 ness good. 



At Vaughan & Sperry's, A. L. 

 Vaughan says the mail October 16 was 

 the heaviest received since Decoration 

 day. 



The quarterly meeting of the Horti- 

 cultural Society ot Chicago was held at 

 the Art Institute October 13. 



E. E. Pieser says October 14 made the 

 biggest day 's sales since May 29. 



Bassett & Washburn began to cut 

 Halliday chrysanthemums October 17. 



A. F. Longren has returned from a 

 trip through Georgia and Alabama in 

 the interest of E. H. Hunt and says it 

 was the best trip he ever has made. 



Lonia Vissius is buying stock for the 

 Seekins store at Duluth and says he 

 now owns the establishment, retaining 

 Mr. Seekins as manager. He is one of 

 the firm that ran the flower store in 

 the Masonic Temple, the closing of 

 which created a breeze that now ap- 

 pears to be forgotten. 



William Graff is again with Fried- 

 man in the Congress hotel. It is un- 

 derstood he will have charge of the 

 new store Friedman is to open about 

 November 1 under the name of the 

 Western Floral Co. 



George Reinberg and Peter Reinberg 

 bought over 1,200 boxes of glass, be- 

 sides using quantities on hand, is re- 

 pairing the breakage by storm. George 

 Reinberg is leaving quite a piece to 

 be rebuilt next spring. 



Chicago Flower Growers' Association 

 will have a stockholders' meeting Oc- 

 tober 20 to vote on the proposition to 

 increase the number of directors. 



Charles Erne has returned from a trip 

 to Terre Haute, occasioned by tho doaili 

 of his mother-in-law.
