The Florists^ Review 



NOVBMBEE 16, 1916. 



is bis Btrong line and has been for 

 years. 



The Elmhurst Nurseries are occupied 

 with an unusually large amount of 

 landscape work, especially in the south- 

 west part of the city. 



Biedermann & Son had a good week 

 in decorations. They have cleaned up 

 on all of their mums. 



At Walter Heite's place there still 

 are plenty of mums to be cut, but 

 nothing is being wasted. So far the 

 sweet peas there are looking fine.

The Market. 



Business last week was good, according 

 to reports, but some of the florists add 

 that it was not a walkaway by any 

 means. Fine, topnotch cut flowers are 

 to be had, the rose oflFerings including 

 Milady, Killnrncy, Richmond and Cecile 

 Brunner, with the prices ranijing from 

 $2 to $8 per hundred. p]xcellent Ophelia 

 roses come to the market an<i fin<l a ready 

 sale for their loveliness. Splendid Amer- 

 ican Beauties, tliongh h\<yh as to price, 

 sell well. Easter lilies are in weak sup- 

 ply and the prices are stifif. Valley con- 

 tinues inadequate to meet reqiiiiements, 

 which wore many last week. Violets of 

 good quality arrive in fair quantities. 



Pompons and the big fellows may be 

 had in countless vaiictios and in any 

 color. But there is a big demand for 

 them and prices are good. Good cycla- 

 mens and primroses, while a trifle early, 

 enjoy a good sale. The Boston fern is 

 selling remarkably well and some of the 

 growers, realizing the good market in 

 Minneapolis for this plant, are devoting 

 much space to it. 



The greenhouses connected with the 

 cemeteries have been busy clearing the 

 graves of all plants, etc. These have 

 remained out as long as possible, but 

 the cold days now have put an end 

 to them. There has been much shrub 

 planting done this fall.

Overcoming a Serious 



Difficulty 



If the circulation in your heating coils isn't absolutely 

 free, a "Detroit" System will overcome the trouble. 



The "Detroit" System removes the condensation from 

 the pipes — whether abov« or below the water level in 

 the boiler — and automatically returns it to the boiler. 



A more efficient heating system and lowered fuel bill 

 result. 



Better investigate. As a starter ask for "Watch your 

 Condensation" — Book No. 5A.
