The Florists^ Review 



March 2. 1916. 



MUNOIE, IND. 



Tlie Kiverside Floral Co. had one of 

 its boilers give out during the recent 

 cold snap, the temperature of the houses 

 dropping to the freezing point, but lit- 

 tle stock was damaged. This concern 

 is giving more space to bedding plants 

 this season, geraniums heading the list. 

 There is a fine lot of well done cycla- 

 mens and the carnations are above the 

 average, some fine blooms with 3-foot 

 stems being cut. Mr. Stakemper, the 

 grower, has the place in good condition 

 and it shows his ability as a grower of 

 first-class stock. 



Henry Patompkie, the seedling spe- 

 cialist, reports a big demand for salvias, 

 verbenas and pansies. His stock is in 

 fine shape. 



C. Baker, who has charge of the 

 Miller greenhouses, has a big demand 

 for the newer varieties of pelargoniums. 

 He has a fine lot of them in 3-inch and 

 4-inch pots for the store trade. The 

 bedding stock at the Madison street 

 greenhouses is in good shape. 



Miss Helen Longfellow, who has been 

 with the Williams & Clark Floral Co., 

 went to Oregon to visit her mother. It 

 is rumored that she is to become the 

 bride of a U. S. navy officer. The men 

 at the store report satisfactory busi- 

 ness. Funeral work has been heavy. 



If one of our girls is missing in the 

 near future we shall conclude that the 

 young Austro-German has found his 

 ad for a wife in The Review success- 

 ful. The Review brings results!

With Sunken Path 



With Plant Benches 



These Sunlight Sashes as adjusted on the grreenhouses are removable at will. They 

 may be transferred to Cold Frames or Hotbeds and are incomparably superior to all others 

 for such use. 



They are oomi>let« In themaelvea, for they have two layers of glass enclosing an 

 air space that is a better protection than mats and shutters, and does away with buying 

 and using these extra covers. Besides, the plants get all the light all the time and are 

 stronger and earlier, also far more profitable. 



The Sunlight Double-Olazed Sash, as thousands of the best florists and gardeners 

 testify, is simply perfect.
