The FIc«rists' Review 



Fbbbdabt 13, 1919. 



are those in which it is made unlawful 

 to misrepresent stock or substitute, and 

 another providing that persons desiring 

 to act as expert horticultural advisers 

 shidl be required to furnish proof of 

 their ability to the state chief inspector 

 and be licensed. 



The Arkansas trade is fighting against 

 the unjust features of the bill, saying 

 that if it is passed without amendment, 

 their business will be seriously affected. 

 Some make the assertion that the effect 

 of the bill will be to put out of business 

 every florist, nurseryman and seedsman 

 in Arkansas. 



It is contended by those interested 

 that the fee for the nonresident license 

 is too high and that the effect of this 

 portion of the bill will be to stop the 

 importation of flowers, plants or trees 

 from other states. The state license and 

 bond are declared to be unreasonable, 

 while the reports required are charac- 

 terized as absurd. 



POET WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business is excellent here, with the 

 demand for all kinds of stock holding up 

 well and keeping the market firm. Al- 

 though prices are high, the public seems 

 to be adjusting itself to this and the 

 demand is good in all lines. There has 

 been an unusually heavy call for potted 

 plants, for the most part in bulbous 

 stock. 



Advance orders for St. Valentine's 

 day have been numerous, most of them 

 F. T. D. orders. 



Eoses are now at their best, but a 

 shortage of roses for St. Valentine's 

 day, especially in the red varieties, is 

 expected. There is a splendid crop of 

 carnations on at present and violets also 

 are in good supply. Bulbous stock is in 

 fine condition, Paper Whites, jonquils, 

 freesias and tulips being offered. Prim- 

 ula malacoides made its appearance 

 last week. 



Various Notes. 



The Flick Floral Co. sent out two 

 handsome orchid wreaths last week. 

 Cattleyas were used to make up these 

 pieces. 



The New Haven Floral Co. has a fine 

 line of bulbous stock for St. Valentine 's 

 day, in addition to an excellent crop of 

 roses, including Columbia, Shawyer, 

 Ophelia, Eichmond and Hoosier Beauty. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey have a heavy 

 crop of cattleyas and other seasonable 

 orchids. Eichard M. Vesey left last 

 week for Indianapolis to take his seat 

 as representative in the state legis- 

 lature. Judge and Mrs. W. J. Vesey 

 have gone to New York city and other 

 eastern points. 



Adolph Jaenicke, city forester, has 

 just purchased a large apple orchard a 

 few miles from this city. He will over- 

 see this enterprise in addition to look- 

 ing after the work connected with his 

 position in the city. 



H. E. Smalley has been reappointed 

 agricultural agent of Allen county by 

 the board of education for the year 

 1919. Mr. Smalley has met with suc- 

 cess in this work here. 



Colonial bouquets and baskets of 

 spring bulbous flowers are being fea- 

 tured by the Doswell Floral Co. The 

 firm reports plenty of funeral work. 



A fine St. Valentine's day decoration 

 was noted at Edgar Wenninghoff 's 

 flower shop, in which novelties of vari- 

 ous kinds were displayed. E. F. B. 



71^6 Florist Demands 

 Many Years of Service 



McCray Refrigerators are used by many, many florists — and the 

 reason is, that the McCray gives years and years of service. "Life- 

 time service" is the McCray watchword. 



McCray Refrigerators stand the test of time because they have true 

 quality inbuilt in them. True quality is more than convenience and 

 design — it is these plus materials, construction and workmanship. 



Florist Refrigerators 



satisfy from the standpoints of flower conservation and display of goods. The 

 McCray cooling system insures constant circulation of cold through every 

 compartment. McCray insulation confines the cold air currents within and 

 excludes the warm air from without. 



Beari in mind that the! handsome'appearance of the McCray will add to the 

 attractiveness of your^store. The McCray is a fine display case as well as a 

 refrigerator. ; It will^help sell^your flowers as well as stop the waste from 

 spoilage. 



Our Catalogue illustrating various f models of McCray Refrigerators for 

 florists will be* sent on request — write for it.
