The Florists^ Review 



Septkubbb 6, 1917. 



BEAMPTON, ONT. 



The flower display at the Canadian 

 national exhibition in Toronto last week 

 was hardly up to the standard of pre- 

 vious years. A. Sheridan took an easy 

 first prize for the dinner table decora- 

 tion, and the Dale Estate again cap- 

 tured the $100 prize for an orchid ex- 

 hibit, the stock reflecting great credit 

 on the grower. New varieties of dahlias 

 proved of more than ordinary interest 

 to the public, but asters and sweet peas 

 were in no way deserving of mention. 

 It seems almost impossible to bring in 

 stock at this season of the year that 

 does justice to the producer. A rock 

 garden artistically designed by the 

 Sheridan Nurseries proved a special at- 

 traction in the horticultural section and 

 took a well deserved first. 



Work proceeds but slowly in connec- 

 tion with the replanting of greenhouses 

 in this neighborhood and stock remains 

 scarcer than ever before at this time of 

 5'ear. However, the feeling is general 

 that the demand for flowers is going to 

 be heavy during the coming season. 



Carnations in the fields have been 

 benefited considerably by the recent 

 rains and are now being brought in in 

 fine condition. Orchids are scarcer than 

 ever this month, although the demand is 

 heavier than usual. Valley is on the 

 way from Denmark and should be here 

 shortly, Providence and the submarines 

 willing. French bulbs have already 

 arrived. 



Friends who knew Arthur Maltby 

 will regret to hear that he was killed at 

 the front August 15. 



E. G. Hill, of Eichmond, Ind., was a 

 visitor here last week; also C. W. Main, 

 of Amherst, N. S., and M. Pappas and 

 W. H. Hay, of Montreal. W. G. P.

The cool weather has improved the 

 roses, and carnations will soon be much 

 better. Asters are plentiful and of 

 good qualit}'. Business is fair. 



The State Florists' Association of 

 Indiana will hold its October meeting in 

 Evansville, on the last day of the 

 month. The Evansville Florists' Club 

 ex])ects to show the members a good 

 time, and hopes for a large attendance. 



Julius Niednagel is not much im- 

 proved in health. 



Waldemar Niednagel 's claim for ex- 

 emption from the draft was not ac- 

 cepted and lie must serve in the army. 



Karl Zeidler is glazing his new 

 liouses. He is cutting a fine lot of 

 roses, and the carnations are doing well. 

 The solid benches for carnations have 

 been raised, as it was found that the 

 plants did better in raised beds. 



The recent rains were most welcome 

 to C. E. Gysemans, of the Evansville 

 Nurseries. 



Theodore Kncbler's asters were much 

 improved by the recent rains and are 

 producing fine flowers. His shipments 

 to St. Louis are bringing good returns. 



Mrs. J. C. Elspermann and boys are 

 busy getting the new house in shape, 

 in addition to other work. E. L. F.

Profits in the greenhouse business are larger 

 than ever. What does it matter if the original 

 investment ia a trifle greater ? It's the per« 

 centage of profit that counts after all. 



Before the advance, we contracted for a big 

 supply of Louisiana Red Cypress lumber. We 

 are therefore still in a position to make you 

 exceedingly attractive prices on strictly guar- 

 anteed greenhouse work. Write immediately
