The Florists^ Review 



March 22, 1917 



Evans' Ventilating System 



Is Up-to-date and Strictly Reliable 



We have made some excellent improvements 

 on our Challenge Machine for this year. 

 The large chain wheel on shafting pipe has 

 double gib, which gives it double clamping 

 surface on pipe.

The Market. 



Business last woek was rushing from 

 start to finish. Not only was funeral 

 work heavy, but the call for flowers for 

 other purposes also was unusually large, 

 and potted stock also had a good de- 

 mand. St. Patrick's day business was 

 all that any of the florists could expect. 

 Few green carnations were left over. 



Bulbous stock is plentiful. Some well- 

 grown ])lants of rhododendrons, wis- 

 tarias, lilacs and rambler roses have 

 made their appearance and sell fairly 

 well. 



When the ground hog saw his shadow 

 February 2 and crawled back to his hole 

 to hibernate for another six weeks, by 

 tliat he forecasted six weeks more of 

 winter, and the old boy did not miss it 

 far, as the weather during the last six 

 weeks ])roves. The six weeks were up 

 last week, thanks be! 



Various Notes. 



George 8uris, who has been bothered 

 with rheumatism off and on all winter, 

 is greatly improved. 



John Bath reports the best season on 

 record. St. Patrick's day business with 

 him was most satisfactory. 



The Herman Bros. Co. is having a 

 large run on ferns and sweet peas. The 

 ]ieas are as fine as any we have seen 

 for some time, the stems averaging 

 eighteen to twenty-two inches in length. 

 The demand is greater than tiie output. 

 The firm intends to almost double the 

 bench space de\ oted to Hoosier Beauty 

 and Ophelia. 



Ex-president MacRorie, of the 8. A. F., 

 stopped off in this city last week to 

 visit some of the florists. He was on 

 his way to Xew York, Philadelphia and 

 Boston, and was accomj)anied from here 

 by Treasurer J. J. Hess. 



The store of Hess & Swoboda had a 

 narrow escape from ruin by fire one 

 night last week when a fire started in 

 a moving picture theater next door. 

 There was a high wind, but the fire de- 

 partment soon had the blaze under con- 

 trol. L. S. H. 



Not advertising in The Keview is like
