The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Januaby 5, 1911. 



for the two half days with which the 

 week and 1911 began. 



The Florists' Club will install officers 

 and have a dinner, Ihitch treat, $1 a 

 plate, at the l^nion hotel tonight, Jan- 

 uary 5. 



Tim Matchen says that the demand 

 for carnation cuttings, if early inquiries 

 are any indication, promises to be the 

 heaviest Peter Beinberg has yet had. 



N, J. AVietor reports that the last 

 half of December was the best Wietor 

 Bros, ever have enjoyed, the quantity 

 of stock cut more than counterbalanc- 

 ing the lower prices which prevailed. 



Wednesday. January 11, the Chicago 

 Carnation Co. will entertain at Joliet. 

 A special car will be provided for the 

 guests, leaving Chicago at 11:45 a. m., 

 8topf)iiig at the greenhouses and get- 

 ting into Joliet by electric car in time 

 to catch the 4:1.5 train back to Chi- 

 cago. Luncheon will be served at the 

 greenhouses. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that the local 

 crop of Cattleya Triana- is due before 

 the end of the present week. 



Zech & Mann sent their customers a 

 handsome calendar, a reproduction in 

 colors of Kenyon's "The Summer 

 Girl," who has her arms full of roses. 

 It was a specially apt selection. 



J. H. Eohmer, formerly M-ith Bas- 

 sett & Was-hburn, of Hinsdale, has be- 

 come carnation foreman for Wietor 

 Bros. 



The charity ball January .3 made con- 

 siderable extra demand for fancy flow- 

 ers, inducing long Beauties, which 

 were scarce that day. C. A. Samuelson 

 has some specially good work. 



R. C. Engledew & Co., Geneva, are 

 sending John Kruchten the first of 

 their crop of Cattleya Triana>. The 

 number of orciiid growers is increasing, 

 rapidly. 



Among the wishes for a happy new 

 year received by the wholesalers was 

 a notice that the cold storage ware- 

 houses have doubled their charges for 

 the first month 's storage of each case 

 of ferns. Where the charges formerly 

 have been 15 cents for the first month 

 and 12 cents per case each month there- 

 after, the new rate is 30 cents and 15 

 cents. The claim is made that a room 

 must be specially set apart for the 

 ferns, which do not completely fill the 

 room and are therefore more expensive 

 to handle. 



E. B. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash 

 burn, has interested himself in calling 

 the attention of the wholesalers to a 

 new building which has been started 

 by the University of Chicago at the 

 corner of Market and Lake streets. The 

 building is to be 80x2Q0 and six stories 

 high, with foundations large enough for 

 additional stories. Mr. Washburn 

 thinks the location admirably adapted 

 to the wholesale cut flower business 

 and has l>een showing plans of the 

 building to the wholesalers this week. 

 The space is to be had at about 45 

 cents per square foot. 



Joe Dunn, who, prior to a brief ex- 

 perience in business for himself, was 

 foreman for J. A. Budlong. appears to 

 be again making good since taking 

 charge of the Des Plaines plant of 

 Hoerber Bros. 



■ KrOeschell Bros. Co. is sending out a 

 unique portrait of its traveler, Fred 

 Lautenschlager, announcing the firm's 

 exhibit at the national flower show. 



At Winterson 's Seed Store January 

 1 a live eagle was received from H. W. 

 Buckbee. Rockford, Til., for presenta-
