The Florists^ Review 



November 23, 1916. 



THE FIRST IMPRESSION. 



WHEN making a delivery the first impression is made by the box. 

 Of course the flowers contained in it cannot fail to please, but 

 you did not make the flowers. Your contribution toward the perfec- 

 tion of the whole is the box. A well made, neat and attractive box is 

 the only means you have to impress your connection with the tran- 

 saction, so why not make the box your opportunity to impress your 

 name on the memory of those who receive the flowers? 



USE ARNOLD BOXES AND KNOW THAT THE 

 FIRST IMPRESSION IS FAVORABLE TO YOU

Congress included in the law appropri- 

 ating funds for the expenses of the 

 local government for the fiscal year 

 ending June 30, 1917, a provision that 

 "hereafter the commissioners of the 

 District of Columbia are authorized and 

 directed to assess and collect rent from 

 all users of space occupied under the 

 sidewalks and streets in the District of 

 Columbia, which said space is occupied 

 or used in connection with the business 

 of said users." 



John McCabe, who operates the de- 

 livery car of his father, M. J. McCabe, 

 of Good Hope, D. C, figured in an acci- 

 dent last week which resulted in serious 

 injury to the occupant of a pleasure 

 car, and minor injuries to four others 

 who accompanied lier and the placing 

 under arrest of the chauffeur of that 

 machine. He was charged with collid- 

 ing, for he hit the florists' machine 

 from the back, badly damaging it.

Florists' Club's Visiting Tour. 



Thursday afternoon, November 16, 

 about thirty members of the Lancaster 

 County Florists' Club journeyed by 

 automobile eastward from Lancaster 

 and visited eight florists' establish- 

 ments. 



At Charles M. Weaver's, where sweet 

 peas are grown almost exclusively, we 

 found houses of these in fine order. 

 Some of the peas are long-stemmed, 

 with large blooms; others are several 

 feet high, and one house contained 

 stock about six inches high. Mr. 

 Weaver's houses are 42x325 feet. Most 

 of the varieties grown here are selec- 

 tions of his own and high-grade stock is 

 the rule. 



At the Elmer J. Weaver place car- 

 nations are principally grown. There 

 we saw Pink Delight, Mrs. Ward, 

 Northport, Matchless, Alice, Mrs. Ake- 

 hurst, Supreme — all in excellent condi- 

 tion and holding great promise for an 

 abundance of blooms throughout the 

 season. Mrs. Coombs, Nebraska, 

 Nancy, Belle Washburn and Miss Theo 

 are being given a trial, and I hope later 

 to give Mr. Weaver's opinion of them. 

 Mr. Weaver also has sweet peas, mi-
