The Florists' Review 



OCTOBBK 12, 1916. 



SAGINAW, MICH. 



Tlie Market. 



Cooler weather, -which will improve 

 stock and which has put a new tone in 

 business, has set in. Outdoor flowers 

 are done for. Roses are increasing in 

 quantity and the quality is becoming 

 better. With the cooler weather car- 

 nations are improving in quality of 

 flower and length of stem, but there 

 are not nearly enough of them to go 

 around. Lilies of all kinds are in good 

 demand, but the supply is insufficient. 

 Chrysanthemums are here, but there 

 are too few to meet the demand 

 brought on by the cool weather. Local 

 florists report business as being highly 

 satisfactory. Funeral work is unusu- 

 ally heavy and wedding orders are fre- 

 quent. 



Various Notes. 



Ealph Grohman was married Septem- 

 ber 27 to Miss Denese Gaudreau. The 

 wedding took place at St. Andrews' 

 cathedral, in Grand Rapids. The craft 

 wishes them much joy and happiness. 



The additional boilers installed by 

 Grohman the Florist, three in all, are 

 a double insurance against Jack Frost. 

 Cyclamen plants here are about all sold 

 out. 



As usual, Charles Frueh & Sons are 

 the first to show mums. They are of 

 high quality but not plentiful enough 

 to meet the demands. 



The William Roethke Floral Co. re- 

 ports that its large range of glass is 

 in good repair and ready for winter 

 business. Otto Roethke says the Dutch 

 bulbs are slow in arriving, about four 

 weeks later than in other years. 



J. B. Goetz Sons have erected a new 

 60-foot steel stack in place of the one 

 taken down. Their mums, numbering 

 about 20,000, are" a picture of health 

 and some fancy blooms are expected. 



The Saginaw-Bay City Floricultural 

 Society held its meeting at the green- 

 houses of the Roethke Floral Co., the 

 best attended in some months. There 

 were over thirty in attendance. The 

 paper on "Roses," by Charles Ham- 

 ilton, was most interesting and brought 

 about a good debate. 



Visitors this week included David 

 Eleinhans, of St. Louis, Mich.; Mr. 

 and Mrs. W. E. Thayer and Mr. and 

 Mrs. H. Mitting, of Midland, Mich. All 

 attended the Saginaw county fair. 

 Prof. Gunson, of the Michigan Agricul- 

 tural College, East Lansing, Mich., 

 also was here on a short pleasure and 

 business trip. Gee. 



Wb are just flooded with orders, thanks 

 to The Review. — Charles Taynor, New

Getting a Bird's-eye View of 

 Your Greenhouse Problems 



IF you have a water tower or high 

 * roof you can get up on, and look 

 your building location over, do it 

 several times before you decide defi- 

 nitely on the layout for a new range 

 or the changing of an old one. 



Get a bird's-eye view of your 

 proposition, so you can carefully 

 consider every economy side, both 

 from the standpoint of the houses 

 you will build now and those 

 to follow. 



When you have come to some defi- 

 nite conclusions, send for us and 

 let us go over the proposition, point 

 by point, with you. 



Let us pass along to you the ben- 

 efit of our many years of laying out 

 and building of greenhouses. 



Take every advantage of this Ad- 

 visory Service of ours. 



If used the way others have used 

 it, you will be saved money in both 

 the building and the running of 

 your houses.

 thinking of getting avs^ay from 

 building cheap wooden houses, you 

 will find a talk with us of special 

 value. 



You know we go anywhere for 

 business, or to talk business.
