The Florists^ Review 



Febbuary 10, 1916. 



MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



Adgate & Son, of Warren, O., pre- 

 dict larger sales of plants during the 

 holidays and advance several plausible 

 reasons in support of their claim. 

 Many other retailers are of the same 

 opinion. 



Heepe Bros., of Akron, O., ascribe the 

 increase in their business to mantain- 

 ing a bright display regardless of the 

 scarcity of stock. It conveys the im- 

 pression that the customer can always 

 be suited even if it is sometimes hard 

 to obtain the goods. 



The Brown Floral Co., of Canton, O., 

 finds its two stores often taxed to the 

 limit, keeping pace with the rapid de- 

 velopment of the city, so to speak. 

 C. Brown is nursing a heavy cold at 

 home and debating whether or not to 

 erect another greenhouse to square his 

 range. 



Charles iLindacher, of Canton, still is 

 doing business at the old stand, not 

 having found a location offering better 

 facilities. He has had a good season 

 and anticipates a fine spring trade. 



The F. Dorner & Sons Co., of La 

 Fayette, Ind., is well pleased with re- 

 turns from the recent carnation con- 

 vention at St. Louis. Theodore Dorner 

 expressed the opinion that it will be 

 necessary to establish two classes, ex- 

 hibition and commercial, in order to 

 give the small introducer the chance 

 that now is almost impossible. Look- 

 ing over the large area of seedlings, 

 one can realize the advisability of 

 creating such classes. A few notes of 

 special interest were made in passing. 

 Nancy, which received the award for 

 the best keeping variety, is a fine 

 grower and should be planted not less 

 than one foot apart each way. Rosalia 

 is a splendid successor to Rosette, and 

 those who have done well with Rosette 

 will do better with Rosalia. Sensation 

 has been somewhat of a disappoint- 

 ment, for which the wet fall is blamed. 

 It is doing well now, however. Good 

 Cheer is proving to be a profitable 

 commercial variety. Old Gold will be 

 sent out next year. A seedling from 

 Pink Delight and a dazzling scarlet are 

 among the bright possibilities of the 

 future. A seedling rose, Hoosier Beauty 

 X Sunburst, is promising. Ophelia is 

 doing finely. A house of single violets 

 for Valentine's day and a large stock 

 of thrifty geraniums were noted. 



The Livingston Seed Co., of Colum- 

 bus, reports big business in all 

 branches. Manager Sperry, of the in- 

 secticide department, has had a bad 

 attack of grip, which he declares is 

 a germ, and is spending his few leisure 

 moments in locating it. W. M.
