The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 16, 1916. 



HOLYOKE, MASS. 



The monthly meeting of the Holyoke 

 and Northampton Florists' and Gar- 

 deners' Club was held March 7 at the 

 greenhouses of Gallivan Bros., at 

 Smiths Ferry. There was a good at- 

 tendance and in the absence of Presi- 

 dent Butler, Vice-president George 

 Strugnell occupied the chair. After 

 the business, session James Whiting 

 read the paper "Is Gardening a Pro- 

 fession t" sent by the National Asso- 

 ciation of Gardeners, which met with 

 hearty approval. K. B. Ullman pre- 

 sented a paper on "Advertising," 

 which provoked a lively discussion and 

 brought the retailers out of their shells. 



Exhibits made a fine showing and, 

 as usual, were of high quality. Mr. 

 Schwartz, in charge of the Gallivan 

 greenhouses, arranged a bank of Mu- 

 rillo tulips, a mixed group of ericas, 

 azaleas and ferns, and also staged plants 

 of a crimson form of Primula obconica. 

 G. H. Sinclair & Son had pans of a 

 lavender variety of Primula vulgaris 

 and vases of mignonette, snapdragon, 

 sweet peas and White Wonder, Rosette 

 and Princess Dagmar carnations. F. D. 

 Keyes & Son showed carnations, White 

 Wonder, Enchantress and an unnamed 



Sink variety of good form. H. E. 

 'owner staged a plant of Dendrobium 

 nobile with 150 open blooms, a speci- 

 men plant of Bauera rubioides, a pot 

 of Hyacinthus giganteus, vases of 

 Schizanthus Wisetonensis and Tulipf 

 Flamingo. 



Congratulations to G. H. Sinclair 

 were in order, for that day he was 

 appointed a park commissioner of 

 Holyoke. H. E. D. 



LINCOLN, ILL. 



C. G. Anderson, recently of the Min- 

 neapolis Floral Co., Minneapolis, Minn., 

 and formerly in charge of the plant 

 range of Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton 

 Grove, 111., March 1 became foreman 

 for Gullett & Sons. Because Mr. An- 

 derson's youngest daughter is in her 

 third year in the Minneapolis High 

 School, he will not remove his family 

 to Lincoln until the close of the school 

 year in June. 



Gullett & Sons are actively engaged 

 in the work of grafting a large stock 

 of rose plants at their new range on 

 the east side. This work is in charge 

 of Adolph Nielsen and excellent re- 

 sults are being secured. A look at 

 the rose houses at this large new range 

 shows they are in good condition. The 

 cut flowers are marketed partly in Chi- 

 cago, where consignment is made to 

 the A. L. Randall Co., and partly in 

 St. Louis, by H. G. Berning.

DIRT BANDS 



Very soon every grower will be mak- 

 ing free use of dirt bands for the grow- 

 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 bow 

 cheap, but how good, is our motto.
