The Florists' Review 



July 5, 1917. 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business during the last week of June 

 was good, considering the intensely 

 warm weather and heavy rains. There 

 was a good call for wedding bouquets 

 and small decorations, but there were 

 no elaborate affairs. Counter trade was 

 slow and there was no funeral work to 

 speak of. Blooming plants met with a 

 fairly good sale for hospitals. 



The supply of greenhouse stock was 

 equal to the demand, although the hot 

 weather has had a telling effect on the 

 quality of the carnations. They are, 

 however, exceedingly plentiful. Eoses 

 are in large supply. The quality has 

 suffered from the heat. Sweet peas are 

 deteriorating in quality. In outdoor 

 flowers the conditions are somewhat bet- 

 ter. Some fine gladioli are arriving 

 and peonies may be had in large quan- 

 tities. Irises are over for the season, 

 but there is much other miscellaneous 

 stock. Callas are in large supply, but 

 valley is scarce, and the prices quoted 

 are liigh. Orchids are in moderate sup- 

 ply- 

 Business during June more than came 

 up to expectations of both wholesalers 

 and retailers. Not only was there a 

 larger number of weddings than during 

 the same month of any previous year, 

 but the outdoor planting was heavier. 

 Stock of all kinds was of exceedingly 

 fine quality this spring. 



Various Notes. 



A. J. Lanternier & Co., Frank J. 

 Knecht, the Doswell Floral Co. and the 

 Flick Floral Co. donated flowers to the 

 Red Cross last week to be sold for the 

 benefit of that society. Miss Georgia 

 Alise Flick, of the Flick Floral Co., was 

 among the girls dressed in Red Cross 

 uniforms who sold flowers. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Lanternier cele- 

 brated their fifty-second' wedding anni- 

 versary Friday, June 29. In the eve- 

 ning there was a reunion of their chil- 

 dren and their children's families. Mrs. 

 A. J. Lanternier and Roy J. Brown won 

 prizes at cards. The house was elabo- 

 rately decorated with roses and outdoor 

 flowers. 



The Doswell Floral Co. had some fine 

 Ophelia and Richmond roses featured 

 in a window display last week. They 

 report June a satisfactory month, judg- 

 ing from the standpoints of supply and 

 demand. 



The greenhouse force of Frank J. 

 Knecht & Co. is busy replanting stock. 

 The men are cutting heavily of roses 

 and carnations. The company has had 

 an exceedingly fine spring business. 



The Flick Floral Co. is showing some 

 excellent outdoor stock, including gail- 

 lardias, coreopsis, calliopsis, Japanese 

 irises and cornflowers. The store re- 

 ports a record business during the 

 month of June. " R. F.

which islthe BEST, way to kill weeds? 



The old way has been by hand 

 weeding — paying excessive la- 

 bor costs several times during 

 the year to do the work. 



But today owners of estates 

 and homes, as well as leading 

 railroads, municipalities, coun- 

 try clubs, parks and cemeteries, 

 maintain beautiful weed-free 

 paths, gutters, drives, roads, 

 tennis courts and rights of way 

 by the use of 

 ATLAS WEED KILLER, 



One gallon of Atlas clears 



600 sq. ft. for entire season. 

 Weeds die a few days after 

 first application — then no more 

 trouble for the entire year. 

 Compare with costly hand- 

 weeding, which must be done 

 over and over again. 



Tell your customers of the 

 economy, ease and effectiveness 

 of using Atlas. They'll appre- 

 ciate it — and you'll profit. 



It will pay you, in profits, to 

 stock Atlas Weed Killer. All 

 details on request. 



(A new on%-LAWN SILICATE- 

 kills weeds in lawns without harming 

 the grass. Ask us about it.)
