The Florists' Review 



13 



Both drank and both fell dead as if 

 shot. Scharenberg did not drink. He 

 just touched the bottle to his lips to 

 test the contents. He fell beside the 

 other two. For several days his life 

 hung in the balance. 



BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS.

 dismissed the petition in bankruptcy 

 filed October 4 against Arthur T. Bod- 

 dington Co., Inc., dealer in seeds and

LADIES' S. A. F. 



In the deaths of Mrs. George Kuhl 

 and Mrs. Anders Rasmussen, the Ladies' 

 S. A. F. has lost two of its most valued 

 members. They were among the first to 

 join and by their pleasing personalities 

 helped to make the society a success. 

 By kind words and encouragement be- 

 stowed at times of need, they have 

 aided the efforts of other members, who 



MRS. E. SX7DEB. 



THE age of a woman is a subject taboo — taboo, that is, until she has lived 

 the allotted three score years and ten; then she likes to talk about it. Mrs. 

 Suder is 76, probably the oldest woman actively at work in the flower business 

 in the United States. For more th^n a half century, or to be exact, since April 

 12, 1868, the Suder establishment has been a factor in the business life of Toledo, 

 O. It was founded by Ewald Suder, who died in 1881. Since that time Mrs. 

 Suder has been engaged in the management of the greenhouses and store at 

 2741 Cherry street. The portrait above was made from a snapshot taken a few 

 weeks ago in her greenhouses. Mr. Suder came to Toledo from Germany some 

 sixty years ago. He first was employed at the Humboldt Nursery. Aided by 

 Mrs. Suder, he accumulated some money and purchased the present place, which, 

 with the growth of the city, has become extremely valuable. She is assisted in 

 the management of the establishment by her son, A. A. Suder. 



will sadly miss them at the future meet- 

 ings of the society. 



Mrs. Charles H. Maynard. 



THE RETURN OF PEACE. 



The return of peace is bound to bring 

 to the florists' trade more normal con- 

 ditions than those that have been faced 

 during the last four, and especially dur- 

 ing the last two years. The production 

 of plants and flowers will get back to 

 the prewar basis within a year, it is 

 predicted, and there will be a return 

 of the good old times. In the meantime 

 the trade is "carrying on" in good 

 shape and, as was said in The Review 

 at the conclusion of the hostilities, it 

 has come through the trying times hurt 

 less than many others. The removal 

 of various restrictions that have ham- 

 pered the trade makes it -possible now 

 to get back into our stride. Many flo- 

 rists will be wanting to buy stock; many 



others will want to get rid of their 

 surplus, so as to have a larger variety 

 than was possible under the fuel re- 

 strictions. These florists can be brought 

 together at the trade 's clearing house, 

 the Classified section of The Review. 

 No one ever comes to this market and 

 goes away disappointed. Here is the 

 proof: 



I wish to thank The Review for its far-reach- 

 ing heneflt to advertisers. I consider it one 

 of the best, If not the best, business getter In 

 the florists' line and I attribute whatever success 

 I have had In the business to The Review. — The 

 Northboro Dahlia and Gladioli Gardens. J. Ii. 

 Moore, proprietor, Northboro, Mass., November 

 12. 1918. 



Please discontinue my Classified ad, as one in- 

 sertion cleaned me out. "Some results." — 0, A. 

 Stoll, Hillsdale, Mich., November 11, 1918. 



Please discontinue my ad. It sure did the 

 business, as we had to return orders for more 

 than 900 plants. — The Hughes Greenhouse, Hills- 

 dale, Mich., November 2, 1918. 



When you hear a man complain of the 

 cost of advertising you can be pretty 

 certain he spends a good bit of money 

 elsewhere than in The Review.
