The FIcdsts' Review- 



July 18, 1916. 



CLEVELAND. 



Tlie Market. 



Valley and lilies remain scarce. Sweet 

 peas from outdoors now are fine, and 

 there'are many of them. Carnations are 

 near their end and choice roses are few. 

 The demand is exceptionally good for 

 this season of the year. 



Various Notes. 



The florists' picnic will take place 

 Thursday, July 20, at Willoughbeach 

 park. The committee is urging employ- 

 ers to close their places of business 

 Thursday afternoon, load up their 

 trucks with employees and their fam- 

 ilies and come out for the fun. 



F. A. F. 



The entertainment committee in 

 charge of next week's club picnic has 

 prepared a splendid list of races and 

 contests for the picnickers. In addi- 

 tion to the standard events, such as 

 baseball, broad jumps and foot races, 

 there are mirthful matches, such as sack 

 races, pie and watermelon-eating con- 

 tests, penny showers for boys, nail-driv- 

 ing contests for ladies, tug of war be- 

 tween growers, * * cock o ' the ring, ' ' etc. 

 There also are prizes for the handsom- 

 est boy and the prettiest girl. F. Rit- 

 zenthaler, W. E. Cook, Charles Graham 

 and Herbert Bate, the committeemen, 

 request everybody to come out and help 

 to make the day a big one. 



LANCASTER, FA. 



July 20 is the day announced for the 

 Lancaster County Florists' picnic. Mem- 

 bers should take Elizabethtown trolley 

 cars at Center Square, Lancaster, at 

 1:15 p. m. 



As previously noted, the picnic will 

 be held on Avondale, the farm of Mr. 

 and Mrs. B. F. Barr, which, with its 

 well kept, shady lawns and meadows 

 along the historic Little Conestoga 

 creek, makes an ideal spot. 



The committee has an elaborate pro- 

 gram arranged. There will be plenty 

 of amusements for all. You and your 

 friends are invited. The only stipula- 

 tion is that you bring a basket of lunch 

 for your pariy. H. K. R. 



XISINOER'S UTTERANCES. 



C. L. Schuster, of Girard, Pa., had a 

 good crop of tomatoes ready for the 

 market quite early. He finds business 

 in general to be good. 



Foxgloves in assortments of many 

 colors made a striking and attractive 

 window display in the store of the Baur 

 Floral Co., at Erie, Pa. 



High school commencement exercises 

 kept the Erie florists busy furnishing 

 quantities of the Hoosier Beauty rose, 

 which was the variety adopted by the 

 schools. 



Wilson's Flower Shop, of Painesville, 

 O., is building three new greenhouses, 

 which will be finished before the sum- 

 mer is over. 



Funeral work was heavy at the store 

 of Schmidt the Florist, of Johnstown, 

 Pa., when I called. 



Plant sales this year have been the 

 largest of many years at the William 

 Schrader place, at Johnstown. 



The new rose bowls, or bird baths, 

 which one hears so much about these 

 days, are rapidly becoming one of the 

 florists' staple articles for decorating.

Delaware Experiment Station 

 Builds Hitchings Greenhouse 



EXPERIMENT STATIONS ARE EXACTING. Their 

 requirements are high. 



The serious nature of the work; the great importance 

 of their results to the farmers and growers, demand above 

 all else, thoroughness, accuracy and practicalness. 



To meet their greenhouse requirements, means meeting 

 exceptionally high standard demands. 



Not demands for ornamental houses, but those of great- 

 est practicalness. Ones of longest endurance. 



To be selected as the greenhouse builders for the Dela- 

 ware Agricultural College and Experiment Station, at 

 Newark, Delaware, tells to you its own convincing story 

 of convincement of the superiority of Hitchings constructed 

 houses. 



If we can build satisfactorily for them, we surely can 

 for you. 



Send for our Greenhouse Supply Book. 



You know we go anywhere for business, or to talk 

 business.

Most florists are now displaying them 

 in their windows. They appeal strong- 

 ly to people on account of their sim- 

 plicity and effectiveness in flower ar- 

 rangement. Birds and butterflies are 

 also attached to them, adding greatly

 Florists will be wise if they investigate 

 the decorative possibilities of these 

 bowls. Some of them are deep enough 

 for goldfish and are used extensively in 

 that way. W. T.U.
