The Florists' Review 



NOVBMBER 16, 1916. 



^U With cold weather comes the thought of more steam 

 ^Hfc lines, a little repairing here and there. Do you know 

 all this work can be made simple and with very little cost by 

 using Advance Greenhouse Fittings? Al| kinds of Split 

 Fittings, Leak Repair Caps, Pipe Carriers, ietc, which you 

 cannot afford to overlook. * • 



Also our Ventilating Apparatus, known to all florists as THE ADVANCE, which 

 is unequaled. Let us send you our catalogue. It's free on request from 



Advance Company, Richmond, Indiana

OMAHA, NEB. 



The Market. 



Business is better than normal and 

 it may be expected that prices will 

 have an upward tendency, as there has 

 been a slight decrease in the supply of 

 stock. Good quality prevails in all 

 items, with mums still holding the cen- 

 ter of the stage. Lilies are scarce; the 

 same applies to green goods. 



Various Notes. 



Lewis Henderson says that his roses 

 are coming along finely. "Looie, " as 

 nearly everyone calls him, was busy 

 last week paying off his election bets. 



Stewart's Seed Store was the first in 

 the market with Paper Whites. This 

 concern does a tremendous business in 

 retailing bulbs of all kinds. The bulbs 

 arrived late this year and a heavy 

 trade in them was not looked for, but 

 the sales exceeded expectations and the 

 stock has been well cleaned up. 



The writer made his annual fall tour 

 of the Council Bluffs greenhouses No- 

 vember 12 and was much surprised at 

 the quantity of quality stock to be 

 seen, both in cut flowers and vegeta- 

 bles. The first stop was at the Herman 

 Bros. Co. place. There the roses and 

 carnations are in fine shape, with pros- 

 pects for a heavy Christmas crop. The 

 mums are of good quality — those that 

 remain, as not many late varieties are 

 grown. The Gerber Greenhouses are de- 

 voted to lettuce. Mr. Gerber is a be- 

 ginner in the business, but what he 

 has accomplished so far does him credit. 

 The J. F. Wilcox & Sons establishment 

 was the next stop. Their fifty odd 

 houses, devoted chiefly to roses, car- 

 nations and mums, never looked bet- 

 ter. Little space is given to pot plants, 

 but those to be seen were of the best. 

 The next and last stop was at the es- 

 tablishment of the genial and ever- 

 hustling Fred Lainson. The first house 

 examined contained cukes, and Fred 

 certainly may be proud of them. The 

 mums are grown by a different method 

 than at most places. Instead of plant- 

 ing them closely and growing one or 

 two blooms to a plant, Mr. I^ainson 

 gives them more space and has four to 

 eight flowers on each plant. His car- 

 nations are fine, as well as his sweet 

 peas. L. S. H. 



Sedalla, Mo. — Miss Nellie M. Saner, 

 for some time a member of the office 

 force of the Archias Seed Store, was a 

 bride October 29.
