The Florists^ Review 



July 26, 1917. 



Now for Business 



July and August are SNAPDRAGON months. If fall 

 blooms are wanted, plants must be benched during these 

 months. Likewise, seed must be -sown now if plants are 

 wanted to follow mums. So get busy and have a 



HOUSE OF SNAPDRAGON 



You are sure of more money to the square foot by using 

 snapdragon than from any plant you can grow. They are easy 

 to do, easy to sell and a pleasure from start to finish. 



Fine plants, for immediate shipment, of Silver Pink, $6.00 per 

 100; $50.00 per 1000. 



Seed of our famous Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 

 7 for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose, White, Yellow, Garnet, Light Pink 

 and Fancy Mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00. Free cultural direc- 

 tions. All orders cash. 



To the hustling florist there is great hope. Get busy.

The Market. 



. Hot weatlier has had an effect upon 

 the keeping qualities of stock, but 

 ' there has been no oversupply for the 

 steady demand in anythinjj but lilies, 

 carnations and candytuft. The demand 

 is for the higher-grade roses and sum- 

 mer flowers, such as daisies, lavender 

 candytuft, statice and gladioli. Ameri- 

 can Beauty and Eussell roses have 

 shortened both in quantity and quality. 

 A few dahlias have reached the market. 



Various Notes. 



Joseph Streit has been receiving a 

 fine lot of Boston ferns. 



The L. Bemb Floral Co. has a summer 

 window display consisting of a minia- 

 ture pond, with a rustic bridge. At the 

 back are large rubber plants, with birds 

 perched on them. 



Robert Rahaley, of the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange, is the proud father 

 of twin boys born July 20. Mr. Rahaley 

 had just extended congratulations to 

 Robert Scott, of Corfu, S', Y., over the 

 advent of a girl at the Scott home, 

 when the twins arrived. Now the con- 

 gratulations are mutual. 



John Beecher, of the Ferry Flower 

 Shop, was married July 18. 



E. A. Fetters, Robert Rahaley and 

 Albert Pochelon returned last week 

 from a motor trip to northern Michigan.
