The Florists' Review 



Dbcbmbbr 21. 1916. 



have been the means of inducing a 

 number of nurserymen to greatly in- 

 crease the production of ornamental 

 nursery stock within the last few years. 

 And this line of business will greatly 

 increase in the years to come, as the 

 landscape architect is helping to ac- 

 quaint the general public with the dif- 

 ferent varieties of trees and shrubs, 

 and how to use them in good arrange- 

 ment for the improvement of their 

 home grounds. 



Therefore, it behooves the nursery- 

 man to get on friendly terms with the 

 landscape architect and assist him in 

 his work. On the other hand, the land- 

 scape architect should be in close touch 

 with the nurseryman and consult him 

 as to the varieties that will be best 

 adapted to local conditions of soil and 

 climate, and that may be suitable for 

 his purpose, so that he will have a 

 known source of supply when he wishes 

 to obtain planting material for his 

 work. 



The Question of Prices. 



■ The matter of allowing the landscape 

 architect dealers' wholesale prices is 

 one that has been discussed pro and 

 con for a number of years, but, so far 

 as I know, no definite satisfactory ar- 

 rangement has been worked out. 



Personally, I do not think the land- 

 scape architect should be entitled to 

 dealers' prices, as he does not depend 

 on a profit on nursery stock as his re- 

 muneration for his work. I do think 

 that he should be able to buy planting 

 material for his clients at a reduced 

 rate under usual retail prices by rea- 

 son of the large quantities of plants 

 of one variety that he uses and on ac- 

 count of the usually greater ease with 

 which his orders can be handled than 

 those given by the unadvised pur- 

 chaser. 



As most nurserymen of the present 

 time are willing to supply the wants of 

 the landscape architect at wholesale 

 prices, you cannot blame the landscape 

 architect if he holds out for this con- 

 cession, but I think it would be better 

 for all concerned if the prices were in- 

 creased suflSciently to allow for better 

 grading and better packing and de- 

 livery of suitable planting material, 

 which would tend to create the best 

 immediate effect after planting and 

 which would redound to the credit of 

 the landscape architect and the nursery- 

 man supplying the material.

Superb is a, seedling of Gloriosa and Enchantress. It has the good stem of Glori- 

 osa and the fine growing habit of Enchantress. The color is a flesh pink and it 

 keeps its color at all seasons. The flowers average about three inches, are very full 

 and generally receive full score on substance. The flowers are all perfect and do 

 , not split. In the four years we have grown it, it has proved the best commercial 

 variety, barring none.
