The Florists^ Review 



August 24, 1916. 



Champaign, 111.— C. F. Swayger, chief 

 gardener of the Illinois Central K. E., 

 is on an extended visit to points in 

 Colorado and Wyoming. 



Newton Falls, O.— Wooden benches 

 have been replaced by tile in the houses 

 of C. E. Tinker. Mr. Tinker has 

 benched all his carnations. 



Newton Falls, O.— At the Cleveland 

 Cut Flower Co. range the men have 

 commenced glazing the last of four 

 houses, each 42x400 feet, erected this 

 summer, two of which have . already 

 been planted to carnations. 



Springfield, HI.— J. L. Bryant, for the 

 last two years designer at the store of 

 A. C. Brown, has resigned his position 

 to undertake similar work for the Idle 

 Hour Nurseries, of Macon, Ga., enter- 

 ing upon his new field September 4. 



Lincoln, Neb.— Established only a 

 year ago, the Enslow Floral Co. has 

 built a thriving business in plants and 

 cut flowers, both in Lincoln and other 

 parts of the state. A large out-of-town 

 patronage has been gained through 

 service. The company has never missed 

 a train on an out-of-town order and has 

 worked many a night that orders might 

 be executed on time. O. H. Enslow 

 and J. A. Cruickshank are the builders. 



Cedar Falls, la. — At the annual meet- 

 ing of the Bancroft Co. all the officers 

 were reelected, as follows: President, 

 W. N. Hostrop; vice-president. Ward 

 Pierce; secretary-treasurer, George Ban- 

 croft; directors, M. F. Arey and C. J. 

 Wild. The concern is in a most pros- 

 perdus condition, according to the di- 

 rectors' report, which showed the 

 year's business was nearly $35,000. The 

 usual six per cent dividend was de- 

 clared. 



Buffalo, N. Y.— Esther Spear, 4 years 

 old, was run down and killed August 15 

 by an automobile owned and driven by 

 Charles H. Schoenhut, florist, 352 Wil- 

 liam street. Her skull was crushed. 

 Mr. Schoenhut said the child ran from 

 the rear of a wagon directly in front of 

 the auto. A front wheel of the car 

 passed over her head. The machine 

 was stopped, according to witnesses, 

 before the rear wheel touched the child. 

 Mr. Schoenhut drove to the Sycamore 

 street police station and reporteil the 

 fatality. Half a dozen witnesses also 

 said it was plainly an accident, and Mr. 

 Schoenhut was released.

Some Greenhouse 

 Side Construction Facts 



KlO matter how little, or how 

 big a house may be. we 

 always have the rafter and 



side post in one solid piece. 



No riddling of the rafter and 

 post with bolt holes for heavy, 

 cumbersome splice plate at the 

 eave, just v^ here you want all 

 the freedom from 'heavy mem- 

 bers and all the light possible. 



Don't think for a minute, 

 however, that we weld together 

 the rafter and post. It's all in 

 one piece and bent when at a 

 white heat. 



A specially constructed pow- 



erful machine called the "Bull 

 Dozer" doe? it. 



Then another thing: the post 

 itself does not extend below 

 the ground, but is bjlted above 

 the grade line to a heavy 4-way 

 braced cast iron foot piece, 

 which is bedded in concrete. 



Everyone admits that cast 

 iron will outlast any kind of 

 iron or steel when it comes to 

 rust. 



That's why we use it. 



You know we go anywhere 

 for business. • 



Or to talk business.
