The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBDH 23, 1919. 



WASHINOTON, D. O. 



Tlie Market. 



Orchids are selling at from $8 to $12 

 per dozen. The carnation and rose sup- 

 ply is still on the increase. Outdoor 

 stock continues to flood the market. The 

 • streets are full of cosmos and dahlias, 

 which are selling at low prices. The 

 market is not brisk, due to the con- 

 tinual warm weather that we have been 

 having. 



Various Notes. 



George C. Shaffer has several large 

 weddings on for this month. He has 

 also a number of important decorating 

 jobs. 



George Comley's daughter is now as- 

 sisting in the store. 



There is a new florist lady in town. 

 She is widely known as the 9^-pound 

 daughter of O. A. C. Oehmler. Mr. 

 Oehmler is receiving congratulations 

 from all of the boys. 



The Center Market florists say that 

 business is slow, but they are looking 

 forward to ' ' Say It with Flowers ' ' week 

 tj give business a boost. 



* ' Say It with Flowers ' ' week is being 

 arranged by an executive committee of 

 which Z. D. Blackistone is chairman; Al- 

 bert Schnell, vice-chairman; A. E. Gude, 

 secretary, and Frank E. Miller, treas- 

 urer. Other members of the committee

 large greenhouses. 



The Du Pont Floral Co. has an at- 

 tractive fall display in its window, which

Prevent Loss of Seed 

 During Dry Weather 



Here is what John Schmidt, of No. 



78 Dry Harbor Road, Glendale. L. I., 



New York, writes: 



"I had considerable loss on seed 

 sown, which would not germin- 

 ate on account of the dry weath- 

 er, which is no problem at all 

 any more since we have had our 

 Skinner System."

A Glazing Putty 

 of Real Value 



In all our experience and inyestigation 

 we hadxneyer found a preparation for 

 bulbing over the outside of a^(|eenhouse 

 that was quite satisfactory, i^P we ran 

 across PERMANITE. This was about 

 four years ago . At that time we set about 

 inyestigating the merits of PERMANITE 

 and proceeded to watch the results of its 

 application to greenhouse roofs. 



Last year we were entirely conyinced 

 of its high quality and durability, and ac- 

 cepted the 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.
