The Florists^ Review 



Fdbbuaby 8, 1917. 



HAVE YOU 



Ever hauled to market a load of plants in round clay pots and noted how 

 many times you said something when you found the plants standing on 

 the blossom end. all smashed and gone ? 



These unpleasant memories will vanish if you use our square paper bands 

 and pots in which to grow all of your spring plants. Our paper pots will set 

 square, stay square and ride square. You will have better plants at lower cost, 

 and when you carry them to market you will not have to lug the heavy clay 

 pots, as one clay pot will weigh more than a whole flat of paper ones. 



The Ramsburg Locking Pot 



is the ideal soil -container. It is made of first quality manila board, and will 

 last the entire season and remain in shape to market the plants in. We have 

 a size for every requirement, both in bands and pots. Send a postal for sam- 

 ples and price list. 



The advantages are all with the square paper pots. Give them a trial.

The Market. 



The demand for cut flowers has been 

 strong throughout the week, the heavy 

 funeral work being the chief cause of 

 the great activity. There was little call 

 for cut flowers for decorations, but 

 decorative work has been heavy until 

 the present week. There is more stock 

 coming in, but not enough to satisfy the 

 demand, especially for roses. Carna- 

 tions are cleaning up well. The supply 

 has increased, but prices remain the 

 same. Bulbous stock is more plentiful 

 and of better quality. Some good hya- 

 cinths are seen. Sweet peas are more 

 plentiful and clean up at all times. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Newell took advantage of the 

 extremely cold weather to remodel his 

 store. He made some changes and re- 

 decorated the store without interfering 

 with the business going on. 



Samuel Murray reports that funeral 

 work during the last two weeks has been 

 unusually good. 



The Rosery has some good bulbous 

 stock. The hyacinths are especially iine 

 for so early in the season. This con- 

 cern makes a success of bulbous stock 

 every year. 



James Payne has his greenhouses iu 

 good shape. His carnations have djne 

 especially well this season. He has a 

 good lot of cyclamens in 5-inch pots and 

 is busy getting his bedding stock in 

 shape. This will be Mr. Payne 's last 

 season at his present location. He is 

 looking for another location, the ground 

 he now occupies being too expensive on 

 which to operate greenhouses. The 

 range is being surrounded by different 

 lines of business that do not attract 

 enough people to justify him in rcinaiii- 

 ing there. 



W. J. Barnes reports a big January 

 business, an increase of thirty per cent 

 over that of last year. He has some 

 nice rhododendrons coming into bloom 

 and will have them until after Easter. 

 His Easter plants are looking well. 



E. Humfeld reports that January busi- 

 ness was the best he has had since he 

 began business. There was a large quan- 

 tity of funeral work during tlie month. 



T. J. Noll & Co. have received their 

 new line of Easter baskets and suy)plies. 

 Mr. Noll is building up a large trade in 

 the supply line. He reports that his con- 

 signments in roses are far short of the 

 demand. 



Henry Kusik & Co. report a scarcity 

 of roses in all grades, but plenty of car- 

 nations and bulbous stock. W. J. B.

NOTE.— We can prove that our Pots and Bands are the choice of Florists and Growers that use large quan- 

 tities. They are easy to fold, the side or bottom cannot come apart, it will hold water longer than paper 

 or clay pots, and when the pot dries out it is as rigid as the first day you started to use it — not so wiih 

 others. Write us for samples and see for yourself.
