Mention The Review wtien tou wrtta 



rate organization from the specialty 

 company, with offices in the Baltimore 

 l)uil(ling and a shop at Jackson boule- 

 vard and Clinton street. 



Fifteen of the retail employees of 

 the George Wittbold Co. enjoyed a pic- 

 nic supper at Lincoln park July 11. 

 They must have had "a, high old 

 time," for it is reported that they for- 

 got to bring back the cooking utensils 

 and dishes. Henry Neve, of this firm, 

 started July 13, with his wife and 

 nephew, on a trip to Savanna, 111. 

 From there they will go up the Mis- 

 sissippi to La Crosse, Wis., and on to 

 Walters, Minn. This is Mr. Neve's 

 old home and he will spend about two 

 weeks there before returning to Chi- 

 cago. 



Geo. C. Weiland says the Evanston 

 florists are having to keep their fer- 

 tilizer piles constantly covered with 

 black soil. Most of the greenhouses 

 are in residence neighborhoods and the 

 «ity authorities are vigilant in en- 

 forcing the regulations. 



A. L. Randall Co. has placed an or- 

 der with Paul J. Daemicke Co, for a 

 new cold room, 9x8x30. There is to 

 be a special compartment for orchids, 

 with plate glass front and doors, so 

 that the flowers can be inspected with- 

 out exposing them to the air. 



August Jurgens, Jr., is now in 

 charge of the shipping department of 

 the Chicago Flower Growers' Associa- 

 tion, taking up the work of Frank 

 Potocka, while William Nissen has as- 



sumed the work of Miss Grace Wallace 

 as bookkeeper. 



F. C. Hoerber, of Hoerber Bros., re- 

 ports that the work of transplanting 

 carnations is going along in fine shape. 

 Five houses are being devoted to car- 

 nations this year and an early crop is 

 expected. 



W. W. Abrahamson, manager of the 

 supply department for Percy Jones, has 

 returned after two weeks spent in re- 

 sorting in Michigan. 



A. L. Vaughan writes from Fremont, 

 Mich., that the fishing is fine and that 

 he has hauled in several large bass. 

 One that he mentions weighed twelve 

 pounds net. At least it had "a twelve- 

 pound look." 



Eobert Northam, store manager for 

 George Reinberg, left for Whitehall, 

 Mich,, July 15, where he and his fam- 

 ily will try farm life for a week or 

 two. 



Foreman Earl, of Emil Buettner's, 

 Park Eidge, spent Sunday at McHenry, 

 111. 



Otto W. Frese. of Poohlmann Bros. 

 Co., says that Beauties seldom have 

 shown better condition than this sum- 

 mer, and that considering the trouble 

 experienced in all quarters during the 

 winter the turn to the better is noth- 

 ing short of being unusual. The hot 

 weather seems to do them good after a 

 sleepy winter. 



J. P. Sinner is reported as being 

 much better and, while not completely 

 out of danger, his condition is en- 



couraging. John Sinner, the younger 

 brother of the firm of Sinner Bros., is 

 looking after the greenhouses and M. C. 

 Gunterberg is handling the store for 

 the time being. 



Erne & Klingel say that the demand 

 for cattleyas has picked np during the 

 last week and their shipments of gigas 

 are selling out nicely right along. 



Mrs. K, L. Hunt returned July 15 

 from a two months' visit in the east. 

 C. M. Dickinson spent a few days in 

 Michigan angling this week. A. Lon- 

 gren, of the same firm, was reported 

 sick July 16. 



Zech & Mann's store is resplendent 

 in a new coat of white paint, and other 

 improvements will be made before the 

 convention crowds are headed toward 

 Chicago. 



F. A, Morse, of the Rosebud Green- 

 house Co., Newton, Kan., was a visitor 

 around the various local plants the first 

 part of this week and left July 17 to 

 take charge of the plant of E. J. Byam, 

 at Rome, N. Y. 



A. Miller, of A. Henderson & Co., left 

 July 18 for Minneapolis to attend the 

 Twin City Florists' Club picnic. 



Phil Schupp, of J. A, Budlong's, 

 spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday 

 with his family at Lake Geneva, Wis. 

 William Homberg, who was in charge 

 of the store, says business was rushing 

 all day Saturday. 



E. B. Washburn, who has been seri- 

 ously ill with stomach troubles, is re- 

 ported as being much better.
