The Florists' Review 



OCTOUKU 4. 1»17. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



The greenliousenu'ii are showiujf con- 

 siderable anxiety as to their supply of 

 <(.al and the prices that they must pay 

 to obtain it. It is a serious proposition, 

 and several {growers have announced 

 that they may not o|jeratc all their 

 <;lass tlie coming winter. There also 

 Ts much anxiety as to the supply of 

 bulbs. Many of the gr(»\vers have not 

 yet received theirs, and in several in- 

 stances the prices have advanced so 

 high as to be almost prohibitive. 



The frosts have taken the outdoor 

 asters and the bench stock is poor. Car- 

 nations are of good quality and in good 

 (juantity. The market is much relieved 

 by the early mums, which are improv- 

 ing daily. Roses are in good supply 

 and show constant improvement. They 

 bring $2 to $8 per hundred.

 IN OREENHOUSE CROPS 



Profits in the greenhouse business are larger 

 than ever. What does it matter if the original 

 investment is 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 

 - before you midplace this address.
