The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



March 28, 1912. 



A 



for undisseminated carnations at the 

 spring show, the judges having reversed 

 their original award to Wodenethe as 

 reported last week. 



Peter Eeinberg has invested in Sun- 

 burst, the only rose he is adding to his 

 list this season. He also thinks highly 

 of Ward. 



At Kyle & Foerster's it is said that 

 W. A. Brenneke is in charge of the 

 greenhouses of Frederick Benthey & Co., 

 New Castle, succeeding Otto Benthey, 

 who has gone into business for himself. 

 Mr. Brenneke had been with Benthey 

 & Co. before, but recently had been 

 with the South Park Floral Co. 



Miss Eugenia Eoddin and Frank 

 Ayers were quietly married at St. James 

 church Wednesday, March 20, and on 

 Sunday their "elopement" occupied 

 half a column in the Tribune. Among 

 those at the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. 

 C. W. McKellar. Mr. Ayers is a brother 

 of Mrs. McKellar and right-hand man 

 in Mr. McKellar 's store. 



The Batavia Greenhouse Co. cut back 

 and dried oflf some of its Beauty houses 

 right after Christmas. These are once 

 more coming into crop. 



The directors of the E. C. Amling Co. 

 held a meeting March 23 to adopt reso- 

 lutions on the death of Fred Weber, 

 who was a member of the board. Mr. 

 Amling speaks of Mr. Weber in highest 

 terms, as a business man, as a grower 

 and as a friend. 



John Kruchten was missing from the 

 store for several days last week. When 

 he came back to business he was feel- 

 ing well, but was so hoarse he could not 

 speak above a whisper. 



Albert Cole is the latest addition to 

 the store staff of the E. C. Amling Co. 

 He took hold March 25 and will handle 

 the Beauties. 



C. V. Abeele, who succeeded Charles 

 Penshorn at Sixty-first and Throop 

 streets, reports having cleaned out 

 2,500 azaleas last week through the use 

 of a classified ad in The Eeview. 



Fischer Bros., at Evanston, are add- 

 ing a house 25x125 and are building a 

 bulb cellar under their wagon shed. 



W. E. Trimble, of the Trimble Green- 

 house Co., of Princeton, 111., which has 

 opened a market at 56 East Eandolph 

 street, made a record for ducks March 



23 and 24, when he bagged the limit set 

 by the game laws. He was the first 

 member of the Princeton Gun Club to 

 bag the limit. 



Phil Schupp reports that the Easter 

 rush is already being felt at Budlong's 

 and that the demand is strong for valley 

 and roses, and all stock moving with 

 more rapidity than at any time since the 

 advent of Lent. Similar reports were 

 heard from A. L. Vaughan and John 

 F. Kidwell, the latter of the Chicago 

 Flower Growers' Association. 



W. S. Garland, of Des Plaines, 111., 

 received his new touring car last week. 

 It is a 1912 Buick, the same model H. 

 Van Gelder, of Percy Jones', drives. 



Orders are plentiful, but money is 

 scarce, according to Peter Weiler, of 

 the Superior Machine & Boiler Works. 



Fred Lautenschlager returned March 



24 from an extended eastern trip in 

 the interest of the Kroeschell boiler. 



William Lorman, shipping clerk for
