The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Afbil 6, 1811. 



says the supply business is the heaviest 

 yet known for Easter. 



Weiland & Bisch say conditions are 

 shaping themselves so that there will be 

 no question of Easter supplies. 



Harry Manheim says March business 

 with Hoerber Bros, was ahead of a year 

 ago in spite of the fact that Easter fell 

 in the month in 1910. Of course they 

 have considerable additional glass to 

 help the total of sales. 



When P. N. Obertin, of Kenosha, was 

 seen at Kyle & Foerster's April 3, he 

 said that business is excellent in the 

 Wisconsin city and that a big spring is 

 in sight. 



At Winterson's Seed Store it is said 

 the change in the weather has shut off 

 the counter trade, which early last 

 week had begun to assume the propor- 

 tions of a rush. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that Easter 

 inquiries and orders began to arrive 

 freely with the mail of April 3. 



Frank Johnson made a flying trip to 

 Boston for the National Flower Show. 

 He took the Lake Shore's 18-hour train 

 going east March 29, spent Thursday 

 and Friday at the show, Saturday in 

 New York, and was back at his desk 

 Monday morning, having made the re- 

 turn journey on the Pennsylvania's 18- 

 hour flyer. Carl Thomas has returned 

 to his home at West Springfield, Pa. 

 A. L. Bandall is doing jury duty. 



Wietor Bros, believe in taking time 

 by the forelock. Several of their Beauty 

 houses had been replanted before the 

 end of March. 



The rooms in the Atlas block to be 

 occupied by D. Freres, Hertha V. Ten- 

 ner and the Chicago Carnation Co. are 

 vacant and orders have been given for 

 their fitting up in first-class style for 

 the wholesale florists. 



There have been more than the usual 

 number of visitors this week. Among 

 them were: J. A. Pettigrew, Boston; 

 P. N. Obertin, Kenosha, Wis.; P. M. 

 Palez, Little Rock, Ark.; Mr. Kemp, 

 Newark, O. ; Gust. Frederickson, St. Joe, 

 Mich.; Edward Amerpohl and his fore- 

 man, Racine, Wis.; J, F, Wilcox, Mrs. 

 Wilcox and their sons, of Council Bluffs, 

 returning from Boston; G. F. Crabb, 

 Grand Rapids, Mich. 



Peter Reinberg is receiving a flood 

 of congratulations. He was campaign 

 manager for Carter Harrison, who was 

 elected mayor April 4.
