The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Dl>CBMBEB 1, 1910. 



Attention! 



nHIS is what we are giving our customers all the time. It 

 is what they are entitled to ; what every order gets that is 

 placed with us, be it larg^e or small. This, combinedjuti^ 

 a e^ood supply of stock, which includes all the leadiflgvarieties 

 grown for this market, is at your call and is to/be had at a mo- 

 ment's notice. 



Our Thanksgiving business averaged over 25% ahead of a year 

 ago, which is proof to us that attention has been given to and ap- 

 preciated by those who buy cut flowers from us. We can take 

 care of a few more orders. 



Just received a carload of Wild Smilaz, also a carload of the 

 finest Boxw^ood. Be sure you get your order in for this, as there 

 will be quantities of it used for Christmas. There is every indi- 

 caiion of a good supply of Roses and Carnations for the Holidays. 

 We are booking orders now. Let us hear from you.

a few days with one of the finest de- 

 livery cars in town. It is a Studebaker 

 chassis, with a box built to order. Mr. 

 Smyth expects to have his enlarged 

 store completed during the present 

 week. 



Martha Gunterberg says Thanksgiv- 

 ing gave her the best week's sales since 

 she started in business, without excep- 

 tion. 



Word has been received at the store 

 of Bassett & Washburn that O. P. Bas- 

 sett has bought property on Oak Knoll, 

 in one of the fashionable districts of 

 Pasadena, and will at once erect a 

 residence there. 



Vaughan & Sperry note an increased 

 demand for boxwood within the last 

 few days and attribute it to the re- 

 tailers' need for cheap material for de- 

 signs. 



John P. Eisch was removed from the 

 Evanston hospital to his home Novem- 

 ber 27. 



rit. Gregory's church, of which many 

 north end florists are members, gave 

 a big Thanksgiving festival November 

 24. John Zech was one of the most 

 active in the arrangements and sold 

 fifty-four spaces in the festival pro- 

 gram. 



August Poehlmann, in the few weeks 

 since he bought his Winton 6-cylinder 

 touring car, has had as much action as 

 any man who ever contracted the auto- 

 aaobile fever. He received his third de- 

 gree November 25, but was only barely 

 exceeding the speed limit; there were 

 plenty of times when he had gone much 

 faster. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. is going ahead 

 as rapidly as possible with the thirtesB

half a cent per hour. 4^400,000 Lehman Heaters are in 



use, which clearly shown they havn merit. Kiorists everywhere use and recommend them.

C. W. McKellar says that the popu- 

 larity of Mexican ivy is cutting into 

 the sales of adiantum. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. states that 

 Thanksgiving week gave larger sales 

 than Christmas week in 1909. E. E. 

 Pieser savs it is the first year in the 

 uistory oi the house that Thanksgiving 

 ever beat Christmas.

 ceived twenty-eight cases of baskets

 The ranch, which includes a lake of 

 about fifty acres, was formerly run as 

 a summer resort, but Mr. Struvy is 

 converting it into a stock farm and 

 fruit ranch. He expects to sell his Cly-
