The Florists' Review 



NOVEMBEB 16, 1916. 



WORCESTER, MASS. 



The Market. 



Retail trade has been increasing late- 

 ly and the approach of winter increases 

 business. Mums are plentiful and sin- 

 gles and pompons are much in vogue. 

 Roses"^ numerous and violets are in- 

 creasing \ in volume. The florists all 

 look foif^ big Thanksgiving business 

 and are preparing for it. 



Various Notes. 



The latter part of the week H. F. A. 

 Lange 's windows displayed the pom- 

 pons which received a silver medal at 

 the chrysanthemum show. Mr. Lange 

 has a fine showing of cyclamens and 

 begonias for Thanksgiving. 



Harry I. Randall, proprietor of Ran- 

 dall 's Flower Shop, reports business 

 good. He is receiving fine roses from 

 the Waban Rose Conservatories. 



William Luby, formerly with H. F. A. 

 Lange, has gone into business with Mr. 

 Estabrook, a grower here. They bought 

 out the Fisher store and had their open- 

 ing last week. Many congratulations 

 were sent them and as a souvenir they 

 gave all who visited them a carnation.

Especially is this true in the buying of Fertilizers to. use 

 as a feed for either Flowers or Vegetables. 



That's why so many growers now insist on Magic Fer- 

 tilizers, knowing they always get the very best. 



Magic Fertilizers contain more natural plant food than 

 other brands, because — 



They are manufactured solely from Animal Blood, Animal 

 Fr Bone and High-grade Animal Tankage. And Pure Humus 

 is the make-weight, or filler. 



Why not buy the Best Fertilizers at Factory-to-Consumer 

 i^ Prices ? Write today for our price list. 



Also 'ask for booklet "Fertilization and Methods Adaptable 

 in the Modern Greenhouse," and the famous Fertilizer Charts.

is a fertilizer carrying in perfect proportion 

 the ten salts constituting soil. It possesses 

 the means of restoring to the soil the native 

 salt or plant food taken up by a crop in its 

 growth, and in so doing maintains the proper 

 percentage of fertility to sustain and build 

 up a healthy crop. It is used by the largest 

 florists in the United States and is unsur- 

 passed as a fertilizer in the cultivation of 

 Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Lettuce and Cereals.
