The Florists' Review 



NOVEMBEB 23, 1916. 



SCRANTON, PA. 



The Market. 



Business last week was satisfactory. 

 There was plenty of funeral work, 

 which managed to keep the stock mov- 

 ing. Chrysanthemums still are plenti- 

 ful, as the midseason and late varie- 

 ties are coming in at the same time. 

 Some fine Chieftain, Eaton, Turner, Ap- 

 pleton, Eager and Dr. Enguehard mums 

 are to be had at reasonable prices. 

 BonnaflPons also are in good supply. 

 Carnation receipts are larger, but these 

 are not moving fast on account of the 

 heavy call for mums. 



Roses remain abundant, with the 

 quality good. Violets are beginning to 

 clear daily. Lilies are in short supply, 

 but good sweet peas were seen in sev- 

 eral of the stores. Greens of all kinds 

 are in abundance. Potted chrysanthe- 

 mums are selling much better than in 

 Erevious years. Paper Whites are here, 

 ut as yet are not numerous. 



Various Notes. 



T. B. McClintock is bringing in some 

 good primulas and cyclamens, for which 

 he finds a ready call on account of the 

 scarcity of blooming plants. He is cut- 

 ting good carnations and mums. 



Miss G. Jenkins, formerly with B. E. 

 & J. T. Cokely, has accepted a posi- 

 tion with the New York Floral Co. 



Miss M. Burns, of Baldwin's, is con- 

 fined to her home with illness. 



J. P. Brown reports trade good, with 

 mums and roses the best sellers. The 

 force has been busy during the week 

 with funeral work. 



N. Christie has resigned his position 

 with the New York Floral Co. to enter 

 business for himself at Hazleton, Pa. 



J. T. Cokely has returned with a book 

 full of orders, after a trip through New 

 York state. 



The B. E. & J. T. Cokely force has 

 been working night and day getting 

 out Christmas orders. 



Mr. and Mrs. William MacDonald and 

 Miss A. L. Besancon attended the New 

 York chrysanthemum show. 



While none of the retailers won the 

 prize in the window-trimming contest 

 of the Scranton Advertising Club, 

 many of them made fine displays. The 

 judges, however, did not seem to think 

 that florists' windows are as good as 

 the jewelers', so a jeweler won the 

 prize. It is a bad idea to class flower 

 stores with art, china and jewelry stores 

 and then try to judge them. A. L. 

 Besancon & Co. received honorable 

 mention in the awards. Muir & Co. 

 had an attractive window which repre- 

 sented a debutante reception. In the 

 center was a parlor table, with an elec- 

 tric lamp on it. On the left stood a 

 model "opening" a box of handsome 

 chrysanthemums. The background was 

 palms, ferns and mums. F. J, M.

Note the way the cypress vent 

 header is supported by the purlin 

 and the way the purlin is secured 

 to the rafter by a good husky 

 fitting. 



Whether solid glazing or side sash 

 are used, we always use a cypress 

 member beneath the plate. The sash 

 are hinged to it. We will gladly tell 

 you why other method^are not what 

 the.y are cracked up to be. 



Some Differing Differences in 

 Our Wide-Spaced House 



I 



N the first place, our glass is 20 

 inches wide instead of the 16 

 used by others. 



Our rigid framing method, and 

 the way we glaze, have proven, after 

 several years of trying tests, to be 

 just as practical with the 20-inch 

 as with the 16. 



As a result, we use only 7 roof 

 bars between rafters instead of 9. 

 This doing away with 2 bars, as you

at once appreciate, makes a much 

 lighter house. From the ridge to the 

 eave plate, midway between rafters, 

 w^e run a ^-inch round steel sag 

 rod that prevents any chance of the 

 purlin sagging, because of its long 

 stretch. 



These are just a few of the dif- 

 ferences. Our Supply Book illus- 

 trates and describes them all. Send 

 for it. Make careful comparisons 

 with all other constructions.
