The Rorists^ Review 



June 26, 1919. 



Good stock arrives daily and includes 

 Bussell, Hoosier Beauty, Ward, Sun- 

 burst, Maryland, Ophelia, Prima Donna, 

 Columbia, Kaiserin, White Killarney 

 and Killarney. Good American Beau- 

 ties arrive, but the demand is not large. 

 Orchids have not had a large sale dur- 

 ing the last week, nor is the supply 

 large. Late varieties of peonies are 

 just about over for this season. A 

 small supply of gladioli reaches us daily 

 and is chiefly of the America variety. 

 Other good colored seedlings are seen 

 and sell readily. Delphinium is better 

 both in the light and dark blues, the 

 cut being fair and well flowered on ac- 

 count of favorable weather. Foxgloves 

 and snapdragons are making their ap- 

 pearance in profusion. Gaillardias, 

 coreopsis and daisies are plentiful, most 

 of the stores making excellent window 

 decorations with them. Outdoor roses 

 are arriving in large quantities, but do 

 not sell, readily, owing to the fact that 

 almost all residents have them on their 

 property. 



Among other flowers seen are mari- 

 golds, Canterbury bells, Spanish iris, 

 calliopsis, cornflowers, mignonette, sweet 

 peas, gypsophila, marguerites and sweet 

 William. New ferns. Asparagus plu- 

 mosus and other green goods are fairly 

 plentiful, the demand being good. 



Bochester Rose Show. 



The Eochester Rose Society held its 

 initial rose show on the evening of June 

 20 in the lobby of the Chamber of Com- 

 merce building. That Rochester has 

 been rightfully named the Flower City 

 was proven in the qualities and- beauty 

 of the many varieties of roses that were 

 exhibited. Notwithstanding the fact 

 that the excessive warmth had caused 

 roses to break in bloom earlier than 

 usual, there were remarkable exhibits. 

 There were more than 500 visitors. 

 Hybrid tea roses were the most popular. 

 The park department had more than 

 100 vases on exhibition. Other rose 

 growers made up the remainder of the 

 exhibition, and had as many as 150 va- 

 rieties on view. 



Members of the Rose Society met in 

 connection with the exhibitioi> and de- 

 cided to hold a rose show in connection 

 with the coming industrial exposition. 



Vaxious Notes. 



Fred Price, advertising manager for 

 James Vick's Sons, is spending a couple 

 of weeks at the lake shore, accompanied 

 by his wife and children. 



George Reising, of L. Baumann & 

 Co., Chicago, 111., had a fine display of 

 artificial flowers and novelties at the 

 Whitcomb hotel this week. He re- 

 ported excellent sales throughout his 

 trip. 



Alberts the Florist had a pleasing 

 window display last week, in which 

 were dainty basket arrangements. Sev- 

 eral small dolls were grouped in the 

 foreground, making an added attrac- 

 tion. 



The scarcity of good Boston ferns in 

 this section is particularly noticed, the 

 supply having dropped considerably 

 during the last few months. H. J. H.

Help Save the "White 

 Coal of Industry" 



The boiling hot water resulting from condensation in 

 your steam lines is worth money. You have paid for 

 it in terms of coal. It contains valuable heat units. 

 It is the "White Coal of Industry'*— it should not 

 be wasted. 



And it need not be wasted. The Morehead Back-to- 

 Boiler System will save it for you by returning it to 

 the boiler at temperatures as high as 400 degrees 

 Fahrenheit. It reduces coal consumption an average 

 of 20%. At the same time your steam will be 

 "drier" and more efficient; your production speeded 

 up and profits increased. 



Write today for facts and figures on what the More- 

 head System will do in your plant.
