The Florists' Review 



NOVEMBEB 16, 1916. 



Announcing the Advent of 



A WATERPROOF FLORISTS' ACCESSORY, manufactured from wood. (Patents allowed and pending.) It 

 is an all-the- year-round necessity and applicable to every branch of the florists' business. It can be used 

 outdoors if desired. 



We want to tell you something about CREPE-WOOD and how to use it. Right here we suggest that 

 you cut out this page and tack it on the backroom wall for future references. 



HOW TO MAKE A FLOWER BOX 



< # Simply unroll around any old box and tack in 

 position. The appearance of the box may be improved 

 by tacking on a stained or painted lath, but it is 

 not necessary. This material is ideal for tulips and 

 similar plants. Growers and nurserymen can use 

 this material to advantage. 



This illustration shows CREPE-WOOD wrapped m > 

 around a potted plant. It is not necessary to tie with 

 a ribbon, as thread or ordinary paper fasteners (at all 

 stationers) will hold it. An office stapling machine 

 makes a permanent fastening but is not necessary.

< # This shows baskets and- permanent pot covers 

 made from CREPE-WOOD with ordinary shears 

 and a $1.50 office stapling machine. Three Or four 

 pieces are cut from the roll (like those lying in 

 picture), and stapled together to form a pot-shaped 

 covering. Tne handle is then bent and stapled to the 

 sides and across the bottom, the pot resting on the 

 bottom of the handle. These baskets can b3 made 

 by the florist in about one minute.
