The Florists' Review 



Jwira 22, 1916. 



heavy expenses recently incurred by the 

 club, it was agreed to drcfp the picnic 

 for this year. 



A committee was appointed to co- 

 operate with the city workers in the 

 planting of shrubbery in the parks/ and 

 public places. This committee is to 

 make a report at the next meeting. 



The Lindley Floral Co., formerly lo- 

 cated in theater row on St. Clair sitreet, 

 has discontinued business. The princi- 

 pal reason for retirement is said to be 

 the failing health of the proprietress, 

 Miss (Linfiey. 



N. Nusbaum, ex-president of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, now is foreman of the Im- 

 oberstag greenhouses. Mr. Nusbaum 

 formerly had charge of the greenhouses 

 of S. N. Peck, which were sold last 

 month. 



Miss Helen Patten, proprietress of 

 the Patten Flower Store, on Madison 

 avenue, is preparing for a two months' 

 vacation in California. 



Schramm Bros, are making prepara- 

 tions for their annual field day at 

 Strieker 's farm, near Sylvania, O. Elab- 

 orate plans are being made for the 

 event, as the club has decided to drop 

 its annual picnic. 



Theodore Shobelsky, formerly en- 

 gaged by Schramm Bros., has accepted 

 a position in the store of C. Kaminsky, 

 on Lagrange street. 



S. N. Peck reports that business has 

 resumed its old-style order. Mr. Peck's 

 store was damaged to a great extent 

 some weeks ago by a cave-in of the 

 building. G. B. S. 



USINGEB'S TJTT£BAKCES. 



A novel method of delivering bedding 

 stock has been devised by the Mount 

 Gilead Floral Co., of Mount Gilead, 0. 

 A trailer is attached to a touring car. 

 The trailer has three layers of shelves, 

 fifteen inches apart. This is convenient 

 for most bedding stock in pots. The 

 trailer will carry 1,500 pounds over 

 any kind of road, in addition to what is 

 placed in the automobile itself. 



Charles Tracht, of Gallon, O., reports 

 a heavy demand for bedding stock. The 

 quality of the stock surely merits easy 



William Farnsworth & Son, of Gallon, 

 have a good lot of seasonable stock. 

 The plant sales have been large. 



Mrs. A. Hoflfstadt, of Shelby, 0., had 

 a run of funeral work last week and 

 the sales of bedding stock were nu- 

 merous. 



E. B. Hayes, of Shelby, has several 

 houses of fine carnations, from which 

 5,000 blooms were cut the week be- 

 fore Mothers* day. 



The Mansfield Floral Co., of Mans- 

 field, O., is working short-handed. Man- 

 ager Lintot attends to both the green- 

 houses and the store. 



"Happy" Dow, of Mansfield, keeps 

 all his workers and customers happy 

 with his well known smile. It seems to 

 be his one desire to keep everybody 

 in good humor, and he succeeds. 



Stuhldreher Bros., of Mansfield, dis- 

 posed of about 50,000 geraniums last 

 week, besides large quantities of other 

 bedding stock. 



W. H. Zimmerman, of Ashland, O., 

 said he had the most successful season 

 of his business experience, which seems 

 to be the general report of most of the 

 florists this year. 



The production of his own vegetables 

 this summer is going to be the diver- 

 sion of W, Grant Kintigh, of Irwin, 

 Pa., during the dull months. 



Owing to the backward season, Wil- 

 liam Cromack, of Irwin, has many or- 

 ders for outdoor planting, which will 

 keep him busy for some time. 



Bedding stock and funeral work have 

 kept Koerbal Bros., of Jeannette, Pa., 

 on the move. It has been the heaviest 

 season this firm has enjoyed for years. 



Joseph Thomas, of Greensburg, Pa., 

 likes to see his greenhouses and retail 

 store running under full pressure, as of 

 late. 



W. W. Bortz, of Greensburg, recently 

 installed a nifty ribbon case, which 

 puts the finishing touch to the store. 



The centennial celebration at Indi- 

 ana, Pa., brought several large deco- 

 rative orders to Mrs. Geo. Straley, of 

 the same town. W. T. U.
