in time for him to make a trip to Eu- 

 rope with his family in June. Monin- 

 ger material is being used. 



Chas. Bond, of Naperville, is erect- 

 ing a large range of iron frame orchid 

 houses of the Foley type and will use 

 hot water heat. A large Kroeschell 

 boiler and the Kroeschell piping system 

 are being installed. 



It is reported that the plant stock 

 now grown at the Edgebrook branch"bf 

 the Geo. Wittbold Co. is to be disposed 

 of or moved to the Lake View estab- 

 lishment as quickly as possible and the 

 Edgebrook houses will be devoted to cut 

 flower growing. Robert Hand, who has 

 had charge of the roses in Plant B of 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co., has been engaged 

 to grow roses, while C. G. Anderson 

 will remain in charge of carnations and 

 miscellaneous stock. 



A postal from L. Baumann dated at 

 Naples, Italy, March 29 says: "A 

 great place this is, when one comes 

 from a country with an apparently 

 everlasting winter. With kindest re- 

 gards to The Review and its readers." 

 Mr. Baumann is spending several 

 months abroad purchasing next year's 

 line of florists' supplies. 



April 16 was election day in the 

 towns around Chicago. At Niles Cen- 

 ter, Albert Lies was elected a trustee. 

 At Morton Grove, Adolph Poehlmann 

 was reelected police magistrate, and 

 Dick Salm, who is a section foreman 

 for Poehlmann Bros. Co., was elected 

 a trustee. At Western Springs, Albert 

 Erickson was elected a trustee. At Riv^ 

 erside, one of the trustees elected was 

 W. S. Burling, well known in the trade 

 as president of the Martin Grate Co. 

 When florists go into politics they usu- 

 ally are winners.

There was an interesting meeting of 

 the Florists' Club April 15, when A. W. 

 Robbell, of the Marine City Floral Co., 

 was elected a member. Charles Plumb 

 was speaker of the evening. His sub- 

 ject was "Easter Teachings." He 

 said that the made up plants of lilies 

 were the best sellers at the recent holi- 

 day. Tausendschon was the most pop- 

 ular of the roses. Jessie is taking the 

 place of Baby Rambler. Of the hy- 



drangeas, medium or small plants sold

 Of the hyacinths, white and light lav-
