The Florists' Review 



Mat 8. 1919. 



Mums and Poinsettias 



Our list of Chrysanthemums is composed of the best commer- 

 cial sorts. We will have a fine lot of young plants established 

 in pots, ready to ship at benching time. $40.00 per thousand. 



Last year we declined orders for as many Poinsettia Plants as 

 we delivered. We have trebled our propagating stock this year. 

 So come along with your orders. We root them as readily 

 as Coleus. $8.00 per hundred; $75.00 per thousand. 



Have you placed your order for our new Carnation, Ruth Baur, for 1920 delivery? 

 Write us, too, for field-grown plants of standard varieties to bench this summer.

3800 Rockwood Ave. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



Mothers' day is increasing every year, 

 thus bringing about a top-notch price. 

 In this locality flowers are scarce, owing 

 to the prevailing rainy weather. 



Painesville is to have a legal holiday 

 and a mammoth parade in honor of the 

 returned soldiers the latter part of May. 

 This late date has been set in order to 

 give a chance for all the ex-soldiers to 

 enjoy the festivities, as they have been 

 returning in small groups. The florists 

 and nurserymen will be well represented 

 in the line of march. 



The Carl Hagenburger Co. is growing 

 in pots some fine aquilegia, better known 

 as columbine, which not only sells 

 readily as a pot plant, but also as a cut 

 flower. 



A new nursery business started here 

 recently is that of Fred Endress & Son. 

 Mr. Endress says business is good, which 

 goes to show that there is always room 

 for one more. 



The firm of Jayne & Baker was re- 

 cently dissolved and the business here- 

 after will be conducted by Mr. Baker. 



Julius Kohankie has disposed of large 

 quantities of Berberis Thunbergii and 

 hardy phlox through his advertisement 

 in The Review. Mr. Kohankie says it 

 pays to advertise. 



S. E. Welch, foreman of the Storrs 

 & Harrison Co. shipping and order de- 

 partment, says that a great many florists 

 are calling for their orders with trucks. 

 This not only saves boxes and packing 

 material, but gives the purchaser the 

 benefit of prompt service. T. J. M. 



Plattsmouth, Neb.— E. A. Stanfield, 

 proprietor of a book store in this city, 

 has opened a flower store here. This is 

 Plattsmouth 's only florist 's business. 



Eutlwrford, N. J.— The Julius Roehrs 

 Co. is another house that is a large im- 

 porter. Rudolph Roehrs, who recently 

 returned from a trip to Europe, reports 

 conditions much disturbed, particularly 

 in Belgium, though he did not proceed 

 farther than Bruges, hearing such unfa- 

 vorable reports from Ghent, the seat of 

 the palm, azalea, bay tree and various 

 other plant industries, so that it will be 

 some time before pre-war conditions pre- 

 vail. Easter buaiuesa was satisfactory 

 here.
