The Florists' Review 



May 25, 1916. 



DAVENPORT, R. ISLAND, MOLINE. 



The Market. 



The business in cut flowers last week 

 was only moderately active. Eoses are 

 scarce, the local growers being mostly 

 oflf crop. Carnations are none too plen- 

 tiful and sell well at a good price. 

 Sweet peas are in fair supply. Easter 

 lilies are plentiful and low-priced. Bed- 

 ding stock is the big feature and every- 

 body is working overtime to fill orders. 

 Window boxes and hanging baskets are 

 in great demand and indications are 

 that it will be a record-breaking season 

 for everything in this line. Vincas and 

 other vines are becoming scarce, and if 

 the present demand keeps up local stock 

 soon will be exhausted. 



Various Notes. 



Joachim Koopmann & Bro., of Daven- 

 port, have purchased the Ewoldt Bros, 

 greenhouses and will take possession 

 about the middle of June. They ex- 

 pect to grow a full line of potted plants 

 for the wholesale trade and will con- 

 tinue their present establishment for 

 another year, when its grounds will be 

 laid out into city lots. The two brothers 

 have been at the present location for 

 about five years and have built up a 

 large trade. W. G. 



EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



There is an abundance of roses and 

 carnations in the market. Peonies are 

 coming in fast and are finding a ready 

 sale. Geraniums and other bedding 

 plants are eagerly sought after and will 

 be until Decoration day. All the flo- 

 rists are busy from early morning until 

 late at night. 



Various Notes. 



The William Blackman Floral Co. is 

 having large cuts of roses and carna- 

 tions. This concern has a fine stock of 

 spring plants for planting out. 



C. L. Niednagel is cutting large quan- 

 tities of good ros«8. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons are busy 

 with indoor and outdoor work. Their 

 carnations in the field are getting a 

 good start and give promise of good 

 plants to bench. 



All hands at the J. C. Elspermann 

 place are as busy as bees. 



Karl Zeidler is disposing of large 

 quantities of plants. 



The next meeting of the Florists' 

 Club will be held at the Santa Rosa 

 farm of Theodore Kuebler. The date 

 is June 7. E. L. F.

Several Times 



a Season 



Mr. N. Zweifel, North Milwaukee, 

 Wis., says: 



"The carnation plants would not 

 make much headway kiid they would 

 get full of red spider. Now that we 

 have our System of Irrigation, we 

 have no trouble in getting strong, 

 healthy plants to plant in the green- 

 house, free of red spider and other 

 insects. One can say, without ex- 

 aggeration, that the Skinner System 

 pays for itself several times in one 

 season."
