The Florists^ Review 



BiPTBMBCB 6, 1817. 



and are thiuking seriously of not mak- 

 ing any bulb pans, on account of the 

 uncertainty of either item coming 

 from Europe this year in any amount. 

 This business of no imports will not be 

 the calamity it would seem at first 

 thought, but it will be up to the grow- 

 ers to supply something to take the 

 place of the imported stock. There are 

 many blooming plants that can take the 

 place of the azaleas, and the American 

 growers can be depended upon to have 

 something just as good as azaleas. As 

 for imported bulbous stock, we all know 

 that at times during the winter there 

 is a glut of bulbous stock in the market 

 that materially reduces the price of 

 other flowers; so if no Dutch bulbs were 

 to come, I do not know but what it 

 would be a good thing for the trade. 

 There will have to be something to take 

 their place — the ingenuity of the grow- 

 ers can be depended upon. 



I believe that the florists' business is 

 going to be different this winter, both in 

 the matter of stock handled and the 

 customers dealt with. There will be 

 people buying flowers this winter who 

 never bought them before, and it is a 

 chance for everyone in the retail busi- 

 ness to make new customers. The man 

 who was earning $2,500 a year before 

 this war started in many cases has h&d 

 his earning capacity doubled. The same 

 might be said of the earnings of small 

 manufacturers. Factories that could 

 hardly exist before the war now are 

 running night and day. These people 

 will all have money to spend and the 

 florist is going to get his share of it.

Jollet, ni. — The Chicago Carnation 

 Co., a new corporation, has bought the 

 retail establishment of Mrs. A. C. Eott, 

 and has leased the greenhouses of the 

 old Chicago Carnation Co. Those in- 

 terested in the new company are Will- 

 iam Kellsner, P. W. Peterson and Miss 

 Bessie Wunderlich, all formerly with 

 the J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., and 

 William Heggie and Dr. M. W. Cushing, 

 both of Joliet. The new company, 

 which is under the management of Mr, 

 Peterson, will grow carnations and cut- 

 tings for the trade, and will devote 

 one or two of its houses to pot plants 

 for its retail store at 407 East Jefferson 

 street.

Don't stop for anything. 

 Keep pushing everyday. 



Make today bigger than yester- 

 day and tomorrow bigger than

And don't depend en-

If your work is on the eighteenth 

 floor of an office building, DON'T 

 WALK UP THE STAIRS- 

 USE THE ELEVATOR. If you 

 want to ask a question of someone 

 on the other side of the city, DON'T 

 SPEND HALF A DAY GOING TO 

 SEE HIM— USE THE TELEPHONE. 

 Take advantage of the modern forces ALL

Take advantage of the

 permanent business for many — 

 for thousands of florists they have 

 saved dumping a surplus; turned a 

 loss into a quick profit. 



They will do as much 



for you — but it is up to you to 

 act. It is up to you to offer 

 nothing but good stock, worth
