 single mums, from Frank Dinda, and 

 several vases of excellent sweet peas, 

 staged by Guttman & Raynor. Cultural 

 certificates were awarded in each case. 



Various Notes. 



These are golden days for the florists ' 

 supply houses. Shipments out of town 

 are increasing, the local demand is enor- 

 mous and big orders are already booked 

 for Christmas. 



Joseph S. Fenrich is fortunate in 

 having shipments of C. H. Totty's many 

 novelties, G. T. Schuneman's orchid 

 sweet peas, J. Dean's mums and 

 roses and Miesem 's large supply of 

 longiflorum lilies. The big store is 

 crowded with buyers every morning. 



Distinguished visitors last week were 

 many, among them being President 

 Kerr, of the Si A. F.; R. Vincent, 

 Jr., of Maryland, and William Sim and 

 G. L. Stillman, of New England. 



Last week John Weir, who was the 

 leading retail florist of Brooklyn for 

 nearly half a century, celebrated his 

 three score and eleven years. He ia 

 hale and hearty enough to be the lead- 

 ing buyer in the wholesale section of 

 the trade. 



The poultry department of the Mac- 

 Niff Horticultural Co. is now complete 

 and under eflScient management. 



The Barclay Nursery Co., 60 Barclay 

 street, has been successful this season 

 in disposing of its large bulb importa- 

 tions. 



The windows of the Stumpp & Walter 

 Co. are so attractive with seasonable 

 displays that a crowd always is in evi- 

 dence. The business this year is fifty 

 per cent above that of any other year 

 in the concern's history. 



The following notice appeared No- 

 vember 11 in every wholesale florists' 

 window: "From November 10 mem- 

 bers of the Wholesale Cut Flower Pro- 

 tective Association require a deposit on 

 all boxes, which will be refunded on the 

 return of the boxes." 



G. P. Callaghan has been appointed 

 salesman and manager of George C. 

 Siebrecht's basket department. 



Joseph Trepel has a new auto for his 

 store at 1070 Flatbush avenue, Brook- 

 lyn. He has purchased the property 

 at Reid avenue and Broadway, Brook- 

 lyn, and will have a house-warming and 

 celebration there November 18. 



Joseph Morichard, salesman for the 

 Pennock-Meehan Co., is reported seri- 

 ously ill. 



Earl Mann, son-in-law of E. G. Hill, 



NOTICE! 



To Subscribers whose address labels carry an 

 expiration number higher than 995 (Dec. 21. 1916). 



EVERY florist knows through his own purchases what has happened 

 in the paper market the last few months — prices have doubled all 

 along the line. 



And it takes more than four tons of paper each week to print 

 The Review! 



Many readers have been so kind as to write that The Review is 

 worth considerably more to them than its subscription price. Well, the 

 tremendous rise in the price of paper makes it no longer expedient to 

 sell The Review at $1.00 a year. 



The subscription price, therefore, will be advanced January 1, 

 1917, to $1.50 a year. 



Until December 31, 1916, any member of the Trade may subscribe for one 

 or more years at the old rate of $1.00 a year. 



Readers whose present subscriptions do not expire until after January 1, 

 1917, may renew for as many years as they like at $1.00 per year, providing that 

 such renewals are sent during 1916. 



Send $1.00 and your subscription will be extended one year from the present 

 date of expiration, whenever that may be. 



Send $2.00 and the subscription will be extended two years from the present 

 date of expiration. 



Send $3.00 for three years, $5.00 for five years. 



No renewals for a full year will be accepted at less than $1.50 unless they 

 are mailed by December 31. 1916. 



The Canadian subscription price will be $2.60 a year beginning January 1, 1917. Can- 

 adian renewals mailed on or before December 31, 1916, will be accepted at $2.00 a year.

 ery at Larchmont, N. Y., for a million-

Angelo Dentale is th^'Jslest addition 

 to the ranks of the wholesale florists. 

 He has located at 41 West Twenty-

R. H. Woodhouse has had much fu- 

 neral work of late. 



Edward M. Pierce, of Cottage street, 

 reports a good business. Mr. Pierce is 

 cutting some fine violets. The first 

 stevias of the season are being cut at 

 his establishment and fine pansies are 

 to be seen. 



Fred C. Covill has been doing an un- 

 usually good business. He has probably 

 disposed of more mums than any other 

 florist in the city during the last week. 



Manuel Silvia is doing a great deal 

 of landscape work this fall for summer 

 colonists at Padanaram and Nonquitt.

 ciety held its monthly meeting Novem- 

 ber 6. There were few present and

 cember meeting. W. M. P. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Bright, clear weather has stimulated 

 business somewhat. Mums still are fa- 

 vorites, but carnations soon will rule. 

 Better flowers at lower prices have been 

 coming in during the last week. Vio- 

 lets are of good quality, but not too 

 plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Julius, the Florist, reports a lively 

 week, heavy wedding work the first of 

 the week keeping all hands busy. 



A new flower store was opened re- 

 cently on Union street by Mr. Rex, of 

 Worcester. 



Evansville, Ind. — The Expanded Wood 

 Co., a branch of the Evansville Veneer 

 Co., has started to manufacture crepe 

 wood, the invention of E. J. Moore, an 

 oflicer of the company. This is a flexi- 

 ble wood, about a twenty-eighth of an 

 inch in thickness and of various widths. 

 It comes in a long roll, similar to a 

 roll of crepe paper, and will withstand 

 water. In manufacturing it green logs, 

 free from knots and other imperfec- 

 tions, are cut up into sheets of wood, 

 six feet in width, on a rotary lathe. 

 These sheets are then sewed on a ma- 

 chine, the sewing adding to the flexi- 

 bility of the wood. After this the 

 sheets are cut by automatic knives to 

 the desired length and colored.
