The Florists^ Review 



April 20, 1916. 



EVANSVILLE, IND. '"* '*'' 



The Market. 



Flowers are plentiful and business is 

 good, although there are more than 

 enough flowers to go around. The out- 

 look for Easter is excellent. There will 

 be plenty of cut flowers and, perhaps, 

 plants. Easter lilies and bulbous stock 

 will be short; some have been able to 

 hold back the bulbous flowers. Every- 

 body is looking for a big business. 



Various Notes. 



Karl Zeidler has a splendid stock of 

 plants for Easter sales. He is finish- 

 ing the erection of three new houses, 

 each 25x100 feet, to be used for roses 

 and carnations. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons are doing a 

 good business and their roses and car- 

 nations are producing heavily. The 

 bulbous stock is about gone. Easter 

 Greetings are 'fine, as well as a lot of 

 schizanthus in large pots. 



The Blackman Floral Co. will have 

 a 4arge stock of plants for Easter. The 

 lilies here are grand and there are 

 many of them. Held-back bulbous 

 stock will be in good time for Easter. 

 George Blackman was a visitor at the 

 State Florists' Association's monthly 

 meeting at Terre Haute last week. 

 Miss Lulu Nexal, of the store force, is 

 back at work after an illness of more 

 than three months. 



Boyston & Fenton have a good batch 

 of Easter Greetings for the retail trade. 

 They are preparing for a big sale of 

 coleus cuttings after Easter. 



Theodore Kuebler reports a heavy de- 

 mand for chrysanthemum cuttings. He 

 was a visitor to Terre Haute last wet^ 

 to attend the florists' meeting. The 

 EvansvUle Florists' Club meeting was 

 held April 12, at Miss Nellie Goodge's 

 greenhouses, where all present enjoyed 

 themselves immensely. The lunch served 

 was the best ever. There was a gen- 

 eral discussion on bedding plants. The 

 next meeting will be at Theodore Kueb- 

 ler *b Santa Rosa fruit farm, June 7. 

 No meeting will be held in May, as all 

 will be. too busy to attend. £. 1/. F.

PLANT TUBS 



EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR 



laVERYBODY Agrees that Plant Tubs made of 

 la everlastins Viri>inia- 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 goods 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 24^ 

 inches top diameter down V> 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.
