The Florists' Review 



Decbmbeb 7, 1916. 



DETROIT, MICH. 



The Market. 



Thanksgiving business was good, but 

 stock at times was hard to obtain. 

 Mums and pompons were plentiful, but 

 sold out completely. Roses ran short 

 in supply, especially in the short grades. 

 Violets, valley and orchids sold well; 

 in fact, corsages kept these items on the 

 jump. Beauties were insufficient for 

 requirements. 



Various Notes. 



T. Browne shipped in great quantities 

 of mums, but yellows cleaned up quick- 

 ly. George Bayer, of Toledo, shipped 

 in a nice lot of Bonnaffon mums. A. 

 Stahelin's roses were choice and did not 

 have to wait long to find buyers. 



J. Breitmeyer's Sons' Jefferson ave- 

 nue branch is about ready for business. 



Jack Carey reports a (big Thanksgiv- 

 ing business at the nevk store. Deliv- 

 eries were made without) a hitch. 



John Moore has retuimed to the em- 

 ploy of J. BreitmeyetJs' Sons. H. T. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



There has been a scramble for stock 

 since Thanksgiving. Mums are just 

 about done for and the few left over 

 from Thanksgiving have found ready 

 sales. A number of blooms coming in 

 are picked up as soon as they are un- 

 packed. Roses have been off crop for 

 the last few days, but the outlook is 

 bright for a splendid crop from now 

 until Christmas. Carnations are coming 

 in heavily and are doing their share to 

 fill up the gap left by the mums. The 

 quality of the carnations is fine and all 

 we could ask for. Sweet peas are com- 

 ing in more plentifully and meet with 

 a reaily sale. 



(Lilies are moving well, but the. sup- 

 ply is limited. Violets are more plenti- 

 ful and their quality has improved, in- 

 cluding sonic good singles. Potted 

 plants are in fine condition and quanti- 

 ties arc disposed of. Cyclamens, be- 

 gonias, primulas and poinsettias make 

 up the bulk of the stock. The demand 

 for ferns is heavy. 



Various Notes. 



Bob Buohler is in Mount Carniel hos- 

 pital in a serious condition from stom- 

 ach trouble and tliere is little hope of 

 his recovery. J. M. 



Elwood, Ind. — A flower store has

MANUFACTURERS 



Not Assemblers 



THERE are a lot of greenhouse, 

 as well as automobile build- 

 ers, who are assemblers. 

 They do not make their parts; they 

 buy them here, there and every- 

 where; and put them together. 



We are not assemblers; we are 

 manufacturers. 



With but a few minor exceptions, 

 we make everything we sell. Con- 

 sequently, it is made particularly 

 for the particular purpose for which 

 it is to be used. 



Take for example our boilers; we 

 don't buy them, we make them. 

 We make them so they will be made 

 the way a greenhouse boiler should 

 be made. They are not the regular 

 house beating boilers bought of 



some outside firm who cast our 

 name on the door. 



It's the same even with a some- 

 what minor thing like our Tell Tale 

 Ventilating Apparatus. 



We doa't buy it of some recording 

 machine company. It is made right 

 here in our own factory. A glance 

 at the pointer will tell exactly how 

 wide the ridge sash is opened. 



And so we could go right through 

 our house, and show you how prac- 

 tically everything in the construc- 

 tion and equipping of our houses is 

 made by us, for our bouse. 



That's one of the big reasbns 

 why you can depend on depending 

 on Hitchings. And remember that 

 we go anywhere for business, or to 

 talk business.
