The Florists^ Review 



OcTOBna 16, 1919. 



BRAMPTON, ONT. 



The Market. 



The heavy frosts the week before last 

 flpoiled all outdoor stock and the de- 

 mand for greenhouse flowers has set in 

 more keenly than ever. In fact, at no 

 time in the history of th » country has 

 business been so good. The same re- 

 port comes from all quarters and the 

 ojttly fly in the ointment is the inability 

 of growers to supply the ever increasing 

 demands for stock. Weddings are con- 

 ducted inoref after the style of pre-war 

 conditions and are occurring more fre- 

 quently than ever. The higher prices 

 of flowers, necessitated by the in- 

 creased cost of labor and production, 

 do »not seem to be any handicap and, 

 judging by present conditions, the com- 

 injg winter is likely to eclipse all others 

 in every respect. 



There is no gainsaying the fact that 

 the advertising slogan of the trade, 

 ''Say It with Flowers," has had a great 

 influence among the buying public. In 

 fact, it may be said without fear of 

 contradiction that no other scheme ever 

 put forward in the interests of florists 

 has attained such generally beneficial 

 results. 



The chrysanthemum season is almost 

 in fuU swing and the exportation of 

 orchids to the United States testifies to 

 the increased demand for this exclusive 

 bloom, especially in the spray varieties. 

 Violets have just been taken utider 

 glass from outdoors; so it is as yet diffi- 

 cult to prophesy how they are going to 

 turn out. Carnations have not yet come 

 into crop in any quantity. It may, how- 

 ever, safely be prognosticated that the 

 demand for all kinds of stock will be so 

 great during the coming months that 

 the supply will be on the short side all 

 the time. 



Various Notes. 



Only three or four of the larger grow- 

 ers added to their premises this year, 

 since most of the others did not dare to 

 risk the increased cost of building, so 

 that the sum total of the additional 

 glass area throughout the Dominion 

 would hardly cover more than three 

 acres. 



The third of the three new green- 

 kouses erected by the Lord & Burnham 

 Co. for the Dale Estate has just been 

 completed, but the new heating plant is 

 not likely to be finished before the end 

 of the year. 



The disputed case, Dale Estate vs. 

 J. H. McCauley, which has been before 

 the courts since last November, was set- 

 tled in favor of the former. This means 

 that the two and one-half acres of green- 

 houses formerly owned by William 

 Pendley pass into the possession of the 

 Dale Estate. Next year they will be 

 remodeled and become incorporated into 

 an area of glass that will then total 

 twenty-seven acres. 



C. Hotchkiss has recently returned 

 from England and John Crook is about 

 to return to his duties after a visit to 

 the old country. Conditions are such in 

 England at present that most of the 

 men who return seem to have made up 

 their minds to regard Canada as their 

 future home. W. G. P. 



Baxter Springs, Kan. — A new estab- 

 lishment is just being started here by a 

 corporation called the Baxter Springs 

 Floral Co. Two houses have been built, 

 each 33x140.

CHARCOAL 



affords drainage 



For Heavy Soils 



A small quantity of size 1 (nut) charcoal, 

 evenly distributed at the bottom of plants and 

 beds, provides excellent drainuKc by absorbing 

 extra moisture und by retaining a sufiBcient 

 auantily until required by the plant. 



Charcoal is a double-action material. It se- 

 cures and supplies, in abundant Quantities, 

 var ous things essential for plant nourishment, 

 such ajj carbon dioxide, nitrogen, moisture, etc. 



Charcoal once supplied, sufficiently, to any bed, 

 needs but little renewing.

A Glazing Putty 

 of Real Value 



In all our experience and investigation 

 we had nevef found a preparation for 

 bulbing over the outside of a greetihouse 

 that was quite satisfactory, until we ran 

 across PERMANITE. This was about 

 four years ago. At that time we set about 

 investigating the merits of PERMANITE 

 and proceeded to watch the results of its 

 application to greenhouse roofs. 



Last year we were entirely convinced 

 of its high quality and durability, and ac- 

 cepted ihe western agency for the sale of 

 these goods. - ' 



We applied PERMANITE to hundreds 

 of greenhouse roofs, over almost every 

 part of the United States. 



The results obtained were highly satis- 

 factory indeed. Glass roofs of all kinds, 

 both old and new, were made water-tight 

 and air-tight, saving thousands of plants 

 from being spoiled by water dripping on 

 them and saving many hundreds of tons of 

 coal by making the roofs proof against 

 the wind and storms of winter. 



We give PERMANITE our unqualified 

 endorsement and recommend it highly for 

 all kinds of glazing. 



We have a very large stock on hand 

 in our warehouse and can ship imme- 

 diately.
