The Florists' Review 



Fbbbuabt 6, 1919. 



EVANSVILLB, IND. 



« The Market. 



Fine bright days with frosty nights 

 were the rule throughout January. It 

 has been just cold enough to keep the 

 trees from budding. 



Business continues good, but stock is 

 none too plentiful. Roses are scarce, 

 especially, but carnations are in better 

 supply. There are enough other flowers, 

 such as calendulas, sweet peas and bulb- 

 ous stock, to make up the funeral pieces 

 called for. 



Various Notes. 



The Lockyear Floral Co. is preparing 

 for an active spring season. 



C. L. Niednagel's roses are making a 

 good growth since the Christmas crop 

 was cut. He doubtless will have a heavy 

 cut soon. He has a batch of Columbia 

 in 2-inch pots. 



Karl Zeidler reports orders for a num- 

 ber of blankets of late. 



Mrs. J. C. Elspermann has difficulty 

 in finding enough stock to fill orders. 



E. L. F. 



QBEAT FALLS, MONT. 



At a meeting of the Great Falls Flo- 

 rists' Society, January 22, the plant 

 embargo was viewed from a new slant 

 by the leaders of the discussion, who 

 urged that the government should not 

 ask us to contribute alms to aid the Bel- 

 gians and then permit a committee of 

 five members in Washington to prohibit 

 the importation of plants that are much 

 in demand in this country, cutting off 

 one of the means of livelihood of many 

 in the plant trade in Belgium. 



Another topic of interest was relative 

 to cards on floral offerings at funerals 

 at undertaking establishments. The 

 point brought out was that complaints 

 have been received from people whose 

 offerings could not be located because 

 of the removal of cards. The florists 

 decided to advise the undertaking es- 

 tablishments that cards should be left 

 on all floral pieces until after the serv- 

 ices. 



Officers were elected as follows: Pres- 

 ident, M. Kranz; vice-president, H. L. 

 Birum; secretary-treasurer, Charles A. 

 Burrell.

Stop Gambling on 

 Field Carnation Results 



USE 



The Skinner Irrigation System 



|ATER— that's what you gam- 

 ble on. Water in right quaiti- 

 ties at the rigiit time. 



Your fertilizer problem can be 

 solved in several ways. 



Your labor problem is flexible. 



But this depending entirely on 

 nature to attend to your watering 

 is taking a long gamble. 



86% of those carnation plants 

 you will set out in the field is 

 water. 



If that 86% falls down to 75%, 

 your plants suffer. Your next 

 winter's profits are hit. 



The Skinner System cuts the 



gamble out of field growing. You 

 can have water in right amounts 

 at the right time, right under your 

 entire control. 



At planting time alone, it will 

 pay for itself. At lifting time, you 

 again get valuable service from it. 

 All the season through it will be 

 your surest insurance. 



It's the kind of insurance policy 

 that pays for itself the first year, 

 and gives you protection and in- 

 creased profits for years and years 

 to come.

 fully describes those new nozzles 

 you have heard about.

Leather Leaf Fern — 

 Polystichnin Coriacemn 



I think we have the largest stock of this 

 Fern in cultivation. A splendid house 

 plant. The leaves are a dark, lustrous 

 green and will keep for weeks after cut- 

 ting. Now used in high-grade floral work 

 and commended by many of the best retail 

 florists. 



Every retail grower should have plants 

 in some corner of greenhouse for cutting. 

 Once used, you will wonder how you ever 

 "kept house" without it. 



For a short time I offer strong divi- 

 sions, ready for benching, at price asked by 

 others for 2^-inch pots; $10.00 per 100. 



Twenty-five for $3.00, prepaid in U. S. 



J.D. EISELE.of Henry A. Dreer, 

 Kvrites: 



"I consider this one of the most 

 beautiful Ferns we have and un- 

 doubtedly the most useful for 

 cutting."
