The Florists' Review 



Septembeb 28, 1016. 



If we should build a greenhouse for ourselves we would put the best material we could 

 into it, but it would not be any better than we put into the houses that we build for 

 our customers. ' 



Yes, it would be an easy matter to skimp here and substitute there, and gloss over in 

 another place to save a little and meet the lowest bidder. We do not do business that 

 way. Why should we cheat ourselves in order to cheat a customer?. 



Figure it out for yourself and then write us your needs.

The Market. 



Business haa been quite lively. The 

 cool weather is helping things along 

 and all outdoor flowers are showing the 

 eflfects of the cool nights. Another week 

 will probably see the finish of all out- 

 door stock. Roses and carnations are 

 improving and are cleaned up from day 

 to day. Some excellent Easter lilies are 

 arriving and the demand for them is 

 good. Lily of the valley is not to be 

 had at present. 



Various Notes. 



L. A. Kintzele is in line for a big 

 cut of sweet peas this winter. The 

 stock from thi;^ place is much sought 

 after by the retailers. 



Fred Schumann is cutting a splendid 

 lot of Easter lilies. His cosmos was 

 caught by the frost last week. 



Charles McCord has returned from 

 Salt Lake Oity, where he spent his va- 

 cation. 



Both the Woolworth and Kress 5 and 

 10-cent stores were selling 3-inch um- 

 brella plants at 10 cents each last week. 

 Nearly everyone who came out of the 

 stores was carrying one or more plants.

CROMWELL, CONN. 



At the A. N. Pierson range the houses 

 now are in running order for another 

 winter. The outdoor stock, such as 

 stevias and geraniums, is being brought 

 in. W. E. Pierson left last week for 

 New Brunswick, where he will take a 

 well earned rest in hunting big game. 

 He expects to be gone about four weeks. 

 Olaf Martins has resigned his position 

 as head bookkeeper to accept an active 

 partnership with Olson & Co., of Web- 

 ster, Mass. Frank Harrison will suc- 

 ceed Mr. Martins. The concern ex- 

 hibited cut flowers, pot plants and ever- 

 greens at the Hartford and Berlin fairs. 



Among recent visitors were Mr. and 

 Mrs. J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, O., 

 who are touring the east in an auto- 

 mobile. They stopped at Cromwell to 

 see their son, .lens C. Peterson, who 

 is studying rose growing at Cromwell 

 Gardens. R- C. S.
