The Florists' Review 



FlBHUABY 1, 1917. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The Market. 



Business during January -was unusu- 

 ally good. Stock of late has been a lit- 

 tle short at times, particularly lilies and 

 roses. Callas are almost unobtainable, 

 but Easter lilies are now less scarce 

 and of good quality. Carnations arrive 

 in sufficient quantities to supply the 

 demand. Bulbous stock is coming in 

 slowly. Yellow narcissi and a few tu- 

 lips are about all to be had, but another 

 week may see quite an increase. 



Some good freesias are now offered. 

 Violets are plentiful and command a 

 good price. Sweet peas are slow in ar- 

 riving and the demand is becoming 

 heavier. Good smilax is hard to find, 

 but other greens are good. Cyclamens 

 and azaleas certainly are having their 

 innings now. Primroses are plentiful 

 in all varieties. 



Various Notes. 



Eli Cross has had some fine azalea 

 plants on display in his store window. 



Miss Mary Hartnett reports business 

 good. She expects to move to her new 

 location soon. 



Arthur Crabb has been busy with 

 numerous funeral orders. 



The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. has 

 some cyclamen plants that are bound 

 to please the buyer. A. F. C. 



PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



Conditions have not changed much 

 in the last week. Stock of all kinds 

 is plentiful, except roses, which have 

 not shown much increase in quantity. 

 The demand for them far exceeds the 

 supply every day. The retail stores all 

 seem to have been quite busy, except on 

 Saturday, when there was some com- 

 plaint, as the big fire in the downtown 

 district seemed to cause a certain 

 amount of excitement and the usual 

 counter trade fell off as a result. 



Various Notes. 



The Karl Koenig estate is sending to 

 the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. some ex- 

 cellent lilies, narcissi and tulips. 



Murray McGrew, of G. P. Weaklen & 

 Co., seems to be exceedingly happy; at 

 any rate he is whistling a good deal. 

 It is a girl. 



The attendants at the carnation con- 

 vention from this vicinity include 

 T. Malbranc, of Johnstown; Ed Blind, 

 William Loew, Fred Burki and W. A. 

 Clarke, of Pittsburgh. 



Hayes Carney, aged 12 years, died 

 January 24, after a month 's illness. He 

 was the son of Walter H. Carney, who 

 was associated with J. B. Murdoch & Co. 

 for some years. Mr. Carney has the sym- 

 pathy of his many friends in the trade.

Hammond's Thrip Juice No. 2 



IN USE SINCE 1883. 



TESTIMONIALS 



Bradford, Pa„ Jan. 13, 1917. 

 Mr. Benjamin Hammond, Beacon, N. Y. 



Dear Sir:— I received some Beauty Rose Plants that 

 were infes»£d with a fly similar to the house fly; it pierces 

 the bud arid lays eggs from which maggots are hatched. 

 Thrip Jurce No. 2 kills the vermin, and "Beauty" growers 



should all know of this remedy, ^„ 



Very truly yours, C. E. GUNTON. 



Springfield, Ohio, Jan. 22, 1917, 

 Hammond's Paint <fe Slug Shot Works, Beacon, N. Y. 

 Dear Sirs:— Thrip Juice No. 2 is the most effective in- 

 B I secticide I have ever used. Our Chrysanthemums were the 



'«*ol.(A^w•■■ finest grown in our city, and I credit Hammond's Thrip 



Juice for much of the vigorous growth of plants and Quantity of bloom. Believe me, it is 

 putting color into our Carnations at this time. We spray constantly through a brass ball 

 attached to the hose and never had finer stock. Very truly yours. 



GUSTAV SCHNEIDER. 22 E. High St. 



Fort Wayne, Ind.. Jan. 26, 1917. 

 Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot Works, Beacon. N. Y. 



Gentlemen:— For two years we have used Hammond's No. 2 Thrip Juice for the Cattleya 

 scale and found it the most effective of any insecticide. Send on another five sallons at 

 once, and oblige. Very truly yours, W. J. & M, S. VESEY. 



Fort Wayne, Ind., Jan. 25, 1917. 

 Mr. Benjamin Hammond. Beacon, N. Y. 



Dear Sir:— Last summer we found Hammond's No. 2 Thrip Juice very effective in keep- 

 ing down the leaf roller on Roses and Chrysanthemums. By spraying heavily once a week 

 it catches the young as they hatch out and before they become millers. In previous sea- 

 sons we have been kept busy catching the miller by hand, but last year we were saved the 

 trouble and annoyance. Send ten gallons more, right along. 



Very truly yours, AARON SHIVES, 



Supt. of Flick Floral Co. Greenhouses.
