The Florists' Review 



August 30, 1917. 



Peter Reinberg Says: 



**We have had the Garland gutters in use over twenty years. 

 They are in just as good condition as when they were first put in." 



Garland Quality Product has thousands of friends such as Mr. Reinberg. 



WHAT AND HOW TO BUILD 



Let us help you decide. We operate foundry, wood mill and machine shops. Our 1917 catalogue

FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business is better than it has been, 

 the call for stock for funeral work be- 

 ing steady. There have been a few 

 good decorations and orders for flowers 

 for hospitals have been good. Prices 

 remain about the same. 



There is a plentiful supply of out- 

 door stock, with gladioli, asters and 

 hydrangeas in the lead. Gladiolus 

 prices hold up well, the best varieties 

 bringing topnotch prices. There seems 

 to be a shortage in the rose crop. There 

 is a good supply of the shorter grades, 

 but the best grades, with long stems, 

 are hard to procure. Carnations, of 

 course, are scarce. A few of the short- 

 stemmed come from the fields, and they 

 are used mostly in funeral designs. 

 Dahlias and zinnias are arriving in 

 large quantities. Valley commands high 

 prices. Cattleyas are off crop at pres- 

 ent. Larkspurs are utilized for store 

 decorations. Rubrum, album and Easter 

 lilies continue plentiful. Other offer- 

 ings are feverfew, snapdragons, corn- 

 flowers, salpiglossis and cosmos. Greens 

 are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Miss C. B. Flick, of the Patten 

 Flower Shop, Toledo, O., is spending 

 a three weeks' vacation with her niece, 

 Mrs. Mildred Flick Buchanan, of this 

 city. Miss Flick says that business at 

 Toledo has been most active through- 

 out the summer and that she is glad to 

 get a rest. 



Miss Marguerite Flick, of the Flick 

 Floral Co., has returned from a several 

 weeks' visit with friends in Detroit, 

 Mich. 



W. J. Vesey, Jr., was one of the 

 judges at the recent celebration of the 

 "Potato Patch Patriots," at Foster 

 Park. Mr. Vesey has been called in the 

 first draft and will probably go to the 

 training camp at Fort Benjamin Harri- 

 son within a few weeks. 



The drop in the prices of coal, as reg- 

 ulated by the government, has greatly 

 relieved the growers here, and they 

 are facing the winter in a more opti- 

 mistic frame of mind than a few weeks 

 ago. E. F. 



Utica, N. Y. — A branch store has 

 been opened in the Hotel Martin build- 

 ing by the Utica Floral Co. Basil 

 Brown, the manager, has been with the 

 company for three years at the Genesee 

 street store.

A Couple of Comments 

 on Ease of Installation 



E. H. Sunbury, of Wamesit, Massa- 

 chusetts, writes the following: 

 "The Skinner System of Irri- 

 gation is the simplest and easiest 

 to install, as well as the most 

 practical I have ever heard of." 



This is what Mr. R. Scheffler. of 

 Wheaton, Illinois, writes: 



"The Skinner System can be 

 put up by any handy man."
