The Florists' Review 



March 9, 1016. 



USINGEB'S UTTEBANGES. 



Constien Bros., of Upper Sandusky, 

 O., grow some of the best cyclamens 

 seen in this section of the country. 

 Some fine orchid-flowering and double- 

 flowering cyclamens are grown. Some 

 of the best specimens have been se- 

 lected for seed for next year. 



F. Sammet, of Upper Sandusky, has 

 some fine dwarf boxwood trees and 

 other specimens for outdoor planting. 

 Johnson 's Greenhouses, of Carey, O., 

 have been busy with funeral work 

 lately. Business is much better than 

 it has been for some time. 



Stelzig's Floral Store, of Belief on- 

 taine, O., is noted for fine window dis- 

 plays. The window for Washington's 

 birthday anniversary had in it a good- 

 sized cherry tree, with cherries, and a 

 figure of the truthful George in the act 

 of chopping down that celebrated tree. 

 A more modern range of glass than 

 that of Stuhldreher Bros., of Mansfield, 

 O., would be hard to find. Here are 

 grown over 75,000 geraniums and large 

 quantities of other plants for the whole- 

 sale trade, in addition to the cut flow- 

 ers grown. 



The Dow Floral Co., of Mansfield, 

 was exceedingly busy turning out fu- 

 neral work. 



F. E. Blake, of Marion, O., had a 

 fine window of azaleas. 



As bird-house builders the two young- 

 est sons of J. G. Botkin, of Urbana, O., 

 are hard to beat. Both have won prizes 

 in this line in a local contest. 



Straley's Flower Store has been 

 opened on Philadelphia street, Indiana, 

 Pa. 



Koerbel Bros., of Jeannette, Pa., had 

 a window of Pandanus Veitchii last 

 week. 



W, W. Bortz, of Greensburg, Pa., re- 

 ports business much heavier than in 

 previous years. 



William Cromack, of Irwin, Pa., has 

 a house of fine primroses. Some un- 

 usually large fiowers are in evidence. 



Edward Leizmann, of Latrobe, Pa., 

 is just recovering from blood poisoning 

 contracted in his left leg some months 

 ago. It was thought that the leg would 

 have to be amputated, but he is now 

 beyond the danger zone. W. T. U. 



Cliampalgn, IlL — Stenberg Hillstrom 

 is the new assistant to C. F. Swayger, 

 chief gardener of I. C. R. R. Mr. Hill- 

 strom will have charge of the Cham- 

 paign greenhouses and help look after 

 landscape work.

DIRT BANDS 



Very soon every grower will be mak- 

 ing free use of dirt bands for the g*row- 

 ing of all plants. Certainly, no florist 

 can afford to pass them by. They are 

 time and money savers, producing better 

 plants at less cost and with less labor. 

 It simply is a question of getting the 

 best band. 



Our new READY-USE dirt band tells 

 its own story. Send a postal for free 

 samples and see how it does it. It comes 

 to you ready to set the plant in, which 

 means saving of very valuable time re- 

 quired to fold the ordinary strips of 

 paper commonly offered for bands. 



We make plain bands, too, from high- 

 grade, hard finish stock. Samples will 

 be sent. Compare them with others and 

 put them to any test. It is not how 

 cheap, but how good, is our motto.
