The Florists' Review 



NOVKMBBB 2, 1916.- 



THE FIBST IMPRESSION. , 



WHEN making a delivery the first impression is made by the box. 

 Of course the flowers contained in it cannot fail to please, but 

 you did not make the flowers. Your contribution toward the perfec- 

 tion of the whole is the box. A well made, neat and attractive box is 

 the only means you have to impress your connection with the tran- 

 saction, so why not make the box your opportunity to impress your 

 name on the memory of those who receive the flowers?

 FIRST IMPRESSION IS FAVORABLE Tp YOU

lets, cattleyas and butterfly orchids, 

 with huge baskets of red and yellow 

 chrysanthemums, made a great attrac- 

 tion. 



Many of the retailers were greatly 

 relieved during the week to receive 

 shipments of bulbs, which in several 

 cases complete their orders.

INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



Chrysanthemums now are taking the 

 lead over all other cut flowers. Many 

 varieties are available, both large and 

 small, and all of them bring good 

 prices. Despite the numerous chrysan- 

 themums, roses and carnations are in 

 good demand and bring topnotch prices 

 for this time of the year. The market 

 for lilies has been a trifle sluggish, but 

 the flowers make 10 and 12 cents each. 

 Weddings and receptions have brought 

 to valley and orchids an excellent de- 

 mand. Sweet peas are becoming more 

 plentiful and range in prices from $1 to 

 $1.50 per hundred. Single violets ar- 

 rive to clear at 50 to 60 cents per 

 hundred. 



A notable addition to the offerings 

 is yellow daisies. A goodly supply of 

 short snapdragons is on hand and these 

 move at a fair price. A fair showing 

 of pot chrysanthemums is made. Plu- 

 mosus and Sprengeri have been in bet- 

 ter demand and smilax has dropped to 

 15 cents per string. Fern leaves have 

 been plentiful, but their quality ex- 

 tremely poor. 



Various Notes. 



The Benson-Oilar Floral Co. held its 

 opening October 27. The store was 

 elaborately decorated for the occasion 

 and the guests were entertained by a 

 string orchestra and presented with 

 souvenirs. 



Charles Randall has been displaying 

 a beautiful seedling chrysanthemum of 

 the large type. It is an exquisite shade 

 of mauve-pink, with petals curving into 

 a large flat head. William Hack has 

 an extraordinary silver-pink Touset and 

 William Hammett is possessor of a new 

 burnt orange Touset.

FESTOON WINDING 

 MACHINES IMPROVED 



Fourth year on the market. Two types. Makes all kinds of Festooning. Type 

 No. 1 will wrap on any size wire used for its center. One turn with handle gives two 

 wraps on festooning. Center wire is measured while Festooning is wound, which 

 eliminates measuring of Festooning. Type No. 2: Fine wire is used for the center, 

 one turn with handle gives one wrap on Festooning. Does equally as good work as 

 Type No. 1. We furnish machines ready to work, with enough wire to make 600 yards. 

 Three days' trial allowed. Money refunded if machine is not what you want. 



Record of 2 Yards per Minute 



PRICES:-Typc No. 



1, $10.00; Type No. 2, $5.00 (Same as last year)
