The Florists^ Review 



February 3, 1916. 



MOTT-IiY MUSINOS. 



At the George W. Haas & Son estab- 

 lishment, of Meadville, Pa., I was shown 

 a fine lemon plant in fruit, suggested as 

 a suitable gift. Funeral work has been 

 heavy of late with this concern. 



Henry J. Krueger, of Meadville, re- 

 ports the largest amount of funeral 

 work for some time. I found him 

 packing his grip for a hunting trip. He 

 sajl^s the lure of the forest at times 

 overshadows the excitement of hunting 

 for eelworms, especially when a silver 

 or/ black fox may be part of the game 

 tmgged. In his absence the business 

 will be well taken care of by Mr. and 

 Mrs. Krueger, Sr. 



C. K. Betts. of Meadville, is well 

 pleased with the first year in business 

 and contemplates making some changes 

 ere long. 



Geo. A. Heelas, of Jamestown, N. Y., 

 said he felt rather bad when two large 

 shipments of fine plants just received 

 by express were badly frozen. Extra 

 care in packing is necessary, especially 

 at this season of the year. He reports 

 an exceptionally busy time. 



The Lake View Kose Gardens, of 

 Jamestown, it is feared, will not be 

 represented at the National Flower 

 Show by our old friend, Lawrence 

 Cotter, who has been on the sick list 

 for some time. Charles Cotter is ably 

 managing the big range during his 

 father's illness. 



Dana A. Herron, Clean, N. Y., is of the 

 opinion that the Philadelphia show will 

 be a "hummer," and is watching with 

 jealous care some promising stock that 

 he proposes to take to Philadelphia to 

 secure at least one of the valuable 

 prizes offered. iJuring his absence For- 

 rest Herron will be in charge of the 

 business. He tells me there is a possi- 

 bility of another range of glass ere 

 long. 



John Walker, of Youngstown, C, will 

 be on his usual trip to the Isle of 

 Pines, Cuba, by the time these notes 

 are in print. Ferns and bedding stock 

 are his specialty and the plants will be 

 in good shape by the time he returns. 

 He has some good orders for grape- 

 fruit and pineapples to keep him busy 

 for a while in Cuba. 



The Gilbot Floral Co., of Akron, says 

 it keeps one busy looking for the buds 

 of promise to open during the dull days, 

 when business seems brisk because of 

 the scarcity of flowers.

PLANT TUBS 



EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR 



aVERYBODY agrees that Plant Tubs made of 

 everlasting; Virginia White Cedar will 

 best resist rot or decay. The "Keystone" brand 

 of White Cedar Plant Tubs are made of this cele- 

 brated wood, and these soods are painted inside 

 and out with best oil paints, a rich green. 



They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large 

 size, and electric-welded wire hoops (galvanized) 

 on the small size. The large sizes are trimmed 

 with handsome drop handles and metal feet, and 

 have perforated, removable bottoms. 



These Cedar Tubs are made in all sizes, from 24U 

 inphes top diameter down to 6 inches, amply large 

 for a Bay Tree and small enough for a Hyacinth. 

 Every one guaranteed. Booklet in colors, with 

 prices, furnished upon request.
