Menaon Tbe KeTiew wnea you wnt* 



weather turned warmer. July 19 he re- 

 ports it was at freezing when he 

 camped out all night by a log fire. 

 €peaking of fishing he says: "Had 

 lots of bites but could not hook them; 

 they all had wings." 



Miss Harper, formerly of E. H. 

 Hunt's, is now a member of the office 

 force of Bassett & Washburn. E. B. 

 Washburn is reported as improved but 

 not able to get around as yet. He will 

 take an extended trip to the west as 

 soon as he is able to travel. 



A new coat of white paint has made 

 Erne & Klingel's wholesale rooms look 

 like a part of "Spotless Town." 



J. E. Simpson, manager of George 

 Reinberg's range, says l^Sven new 

 boilers are being installed to take the 

 place of seventeen that are worn out. 

 Beplanting is about completed and 

 they will grow this year 35,000 Eich- 

 mond, 10,000 My Maryland, 35,000 

 Killarney, 35,000 White Killarney, 35,- 

 000 Beauties, 20,000 plumosus, 10,000 

 smilax, 5,000 callas and 1,500 cattleyas, 

 the latter being Trianse, Mossise, Gas- 

 kelliana and Percivaliana. Five houses 

 at the south end of the range, facing 

 the park, have,., been torn down and 

 next fall Mr, Reinberg will start a $60,- 

 000 apartment building on the property 

 thus cleared, which is practically an 

 entire city block. Considering the set- 

 back given to the stock by the cyclone 

 last fall, Mr. Simpson is to be congrat- 

 ulated on the appe^g^nce . of the place 

 now. , ' — •<• 



Still another market store is showing 

 the effects of a recently applied coat 

 of paint, Hoerber Bros, having dressed 

 tip their store in the "conventional 

 white. ' ' 



Peter Weiler says that of course 

 there will be a Superior boiler on ex- 

 hibition at the S. A. F. convention, but 

 he hardly thinks a label will be neces- 

 sary, as most of the greenhouse men 

 know a boiler when they see one. 



So much cypress is being used in 

 the reconstruction of southern levees 

 that Mr. Mohring, of the Edw. Hines 

 Lumber Co., expects rather a sharp ad- 

 vance in price in the near future. It 

 is not likely, however, that the high 

 price will continue for long. 



Frank Oechslin is busy building a 

 new bulb cellar and storage shed across 

 the alley in the rear of his range. He 

 says the unusual amount of rain and 

 the cool nights have greatly helped the 

 stock in the frames. 



R. E. Kurowski, of the J. C. Moninger 

 Co., reports that his wife successfully 

 underwent an operation July 19 for 

 the removal of one of the bones from 

 her nose. 



Oscar Leistner, selling agent for Ove 

 Gnatt, the Hammond prepared foliage 

 manufacturer, returned from an out-of- 

 town trip last Monday and reports busi- 

 ness satisfactory. 



The Department of Agriculture at 

 Washington, D. C, has selected Kroe- 

 schell boilers for the heating of the 

 new range now in course of construc- 

 tion for the department of new foreign 

 plants. The Julius Roehrs Co., Ruther- 

 ford, N. .T., is also installingKroeschell 

 boilers as part of their equ^ment. •' 



Vacations are in order at Wittbold's. 

 In addition to those already reported 

 Joe Schouten, of the retail end, and 

 Miss Anna Swenson, one of the book- 

 keepers, are away for a rest, while 



MR. FLORIST:- 



Here Is proof of what our Wedding 

 Booklet, "Flowers for the Bride," can 

 do for you. 



About June 15th a prominent florist in 

 a large Western city started to use our 

 Wedding Booklets. Out of only thirty 

 booklets sent out since this date, within 

 the first month, seven orders have act- 

 ually been received. 



This Wedding Booklet will do just as good work 

 for you. Place your order now.

Mention The Review when you write. 



Adair Cowan enjoyed a week-end fish- 

 ing trip last Saturday and Sunday. 



There will be a meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Club July 25, at the Union, at 

 which convention matters will be the 

 chief topic. The ladies' reception com- 

 mittee will meet at the Auditorium 

 July 26 at 2 p. m. The visiting ladies 

 are to be entertained at the South 

 Shore Country Club during convention 

 week. Ravinia park has been decided 

 on for the Friday doings of convention 

 week. 



Johto Yoting, 'sbtretary of ^'the S. . A. 

 F., arrived at Chicago July 22 and will 

 be at the Auditorium hotel until after 

 the convention. He is superintendent 

 of the trades' display and has a big 

 month 's work before him.
