The Florists^ Review 



July 3, 1919. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



After five days of hustling in filling 

 graduation orders, the week ended with 

 a good supply of stock on hand. Boses 

 in all colors, excepting white, were plen- 

 tiful. 



The week started with an unusual de- 

 mand for stock of all kinds. Prices 

 went up, but, although they doubled, 

 they did not go beyond last year 's June 

 market. Most of the stock did not reach 

 last year's level, because the shortage 

 was not 80 severe. There was a great 

 demand for yellow roses. Many of the 

 schools took this for their class color 

 and it was difficult to supply the de- 

 mand. Many of the classes placed or- 

 ders fot bouquets of three or four roses 

 and in most cases this was handled by 

 the shop nearest by. To some this prac- 

 tice may prove to be a great help in 

 business. Although the call was for 

 bouquets of only three or four roses, it 

 is a start towards using flowers at gradu- 

 ations, a practice which principals have 

 tried to discourage here. F. P. A. 



During July and August the William 

 F. Kasting Co. will close its store daily 

 at 5 p. m. 



Boyersford, Pa. — Albert Bergantz, 

 proprietor of the Fernwood Green- 

 houses, has just returned from overseas 

 service and has opened his establish- 

 ment, which was closed while he was 

 at war. 



Rantoul, 111.— The E. B. Morgan Flo- 

 ral Co., successors to Addems, Morgan 

 & Co., of Paxton, HI., have purchased a 

 10-acre tract of land here and will 

 construct a $5,000 greenhouse. Bantoul 

 is greatly interested in this enterprise 

 and predicts success to the florists. 



Bushville, Ind. — J. T. Turner, who for 

 a number of years worked for George 

 F. Moore and a year ago started in busi- 

 ness for himself, finds he needs more 

 room and has bought the houses and 

 supplies of George W. Fleener. With 

 this addition he will have 20,000 feet of 

 glass. Mr, Turner says that business is 

 exceptionally good, especially in gla- 

 dioli, which he has been cutting for 

 three weeks.

Look ahead to 



carnation 



lifting time 



THINK of the times you 

 have left your carnations 

 in the field longer than they 

 should be, just because you 

 were waiting for a rain 

 to come and make the soil 

 right. 



Waits like that cost you 

 money. 



As long as you are in busi- 

 ness to make money, why 

 don't you have the things to 

 do business with, that make 

 your business make all the 

 money it possibly can? 



There's the Skinner Sys- 

 tem of watering, for example; 



if you had it in your carna- 

 tion field you could always 

 have the ground just right for 

 setting out, and in the pink 

 of perfection the very day it 

 was time to lift them. 



You don't know what it's 

 costing you not to have it. 

 But we do know it won't 

 cost you anything to have it, 

 because it general y pays for 

 itself the first year. So there 

 seems no real reason why you 

 don't have it; and every 

 sound sense reason why you 

 should.
