The Florists^ Review 



Fkbbuaky 27, 1919. 



If a boiler has only a small amount 

 of surplus capacity, it may be somewhat 

 wasteful of fuel on excessively cold 

 nights. On the other hand, it may be 

 more economical than a larger boiler on 

 nights when the temperature ranges 

 from 6 to 30 degrees above zero. The 

 Kewanee boilers are quite economical 

 when run just under their normal ca- 

 pacity, but, like all other boilers, if 

 pushed much beyond this point they per- 

 mit a large proportion of the heat to go 

 out through the smokestack. 



Our estimate, then, would be that un- 

 der favorable conditions the boiler in 

 question would heat from 15,000 to 20,- 

 000 square feet of glass to 60 degrees 

 and 20,000 to 25,000 square feet to 50 

 degrees, the exact amount depending on 

 the number of nights the outdoor tem- 

 perature is likely to drop below zero. 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business during the week following 

 St. Valentine's day was brisk, with not 

 enough stock to meet all requirements. 

 The dark weather is partly responsible 

 for the shortage, and also the fact that 

 everything available was cut and used 

 for St. Valentine's day trade. Lilies 

 have had the heaviest call for funeral 

 work. 



Flowers for the sick are receiving a 

 brisk call and counter trade is above 

 normal. There are few weddings. 



White lilac is being offered and is 

 meeting with public favor. The retail 

 price of these is $3 per dozen. Pussy 

 willows are being featured with bulbous 

 spring flowers. Snapdragons of hand- 

 some proportions are quickly bought up. 

 Carnations are on the short side. Roses 

 are not equal to the demand and the bet- 

 ter grades are far from plentiful. Kil- 

 larney is the most plentiful variety. 



Good bulbous stock is offered and the 

 variety is increasing. Dutch hyacinths, 

 jonquils, tulips, narcissi and freesias are 

 offered. 



Pansies and calendulas offer variety. 

 Single violets are meeting with a good 

 call. Sweet peas are scarce, on account 

 of the lack of sunshine. Shipping busi- 

 ness has been good, with F, T. D. orders 

 numerous since the holiday. These lat- 

 ter have been mostly for funeral work. 

 There has been a good call for blooming 

 stock. 



Various Notes. 



The flower store of Edgar Wenning- 

 lioff was damaged slightly last week, 

 when fire broke out in the building, but 

 no stock was damaged. Mr. Wenning- 

 hoff reports a lively demand for flowers 

 ■for the ill and a good call for funeral 

 work. Some fine Hoosier Beauties were 

 seen here. 



Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Max and son are 

 visiting Mrs. Max's parents, Judge and 

 Mrs. W. J. Vcscy. W. J. & M. S. Vescy 

 report the demand out of all proportion 

 to the supply. They arc cutting some 

 fine Triana; and SehroedersB cattleyas. 

 This firm has had a large crop of 

 tomatoes tliis season. 



The Flick Floral Co. is showing a fine 

 variety in spring flowers, including 

 lilacs, rainbow freesias and fine Dutch 

 hyacinths and pansies. They report a 

 good demand for funeral flowers and a 

 few orders for weddings during the 

 week. 



The DoswcU Floral Co. has had a 

 fine sale on blooming plants and a good

This eliminates necessity of an uDBlghtly and refuse gather-

There are 20 reasons why Bemhard Boilers are 

 superior to others.
