The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBBR 30, 1019. 



A Certificate ojf Merit 



Was awarded us for our display at the annual con- 

 vention of the Society of American Florists, at De- 

 troit, in August. 



Many florists were convinced of the merits of this 

 machine. Some gave their orders; others stated 

 they would order this fall. 



The future of this machine is absolutely assured, 

 and the wise, up-to-date florist will install one at his 

 earliest opportunity. . 



Careful comparative figures, which we will be glad 

 to send upon request, show that this machine will 

 absolutely save its cost in one year for the average 

 florist. Write for free booklet.

Bernson & Halle are having especial 

 success with their Laddie and Aviator 

 carnations; the latter in particular is 

 gaining in popular favor. The members 

 of this firm were the recipients of good- 

 natured bantering at the recent meet- 

 ing of the Florists' Association, when 

 their latest pet, the New Guinea butter 

 bean, was introduced. Though called a 

 bean, it resembles a gourd more than 

 anything else in form and foliage. At 

 the present time it is about two feet in 

 length and is still in its infancy. J. W, 

 Duncan, superintendent of the city 

 parks, was instrumental in getting the 

 seed from California. 



The Spokane Florist Co. has one win- 

 dow in yellow chrysanthemums and 

 coleus foliage, showing in bold contrast 

 to the other in daintv pinks and white.

The Market. 



The workers of the big Todd ship- 

 yard are still out on strike, but busi- 

 ness is holding up well. The weather 

 recently has been ^11 that the growers 

 could wish for and many are now first 

 running heat in their houses. Stock is 

 getting more plentiful, with good local 

 mums and roses coming in. Carnations 

 are scarce and are likely to continue so 

 for a few weeks. Nearly all the down-
