The Florists^ Review 



October 30, 1919. 



The Frank S. Piatt Co., of New Haven, 

 Conn., has concentrated the seed busi- 

 ness under one roof and put in new fix- 

 tures. "Beginning anew at the old 

 stand, so to speak," observed Manager 

 C. H. Anderson. 



Fred Cowperthwaite, manager of the 

 horticultural department of R. H. Macy 

 & Co., New York city, reports a big im- 

 petus in the bulb section and credits it 

 to publicity. For instance, two columns 

 on this department appeared in the 

 firm's usual daily advertisement and 

 the response was surprising. Bargain 

 prices were-not quoted, either. "Already 

 we have sold more than we did during 

 the entire season last year, which was 

 our first," remarked Mr. Cowper- 

 thwaite. W. M. 



OATAIiOQUES ILECEIVED. 



John Oonaon Co., Ltd., Hamilton. Ont.-i^A 20- 

 page wholesale list, offering ornamental nurs- 

 ery stock principally, but also including consid- 

 erable assortments of greenhouse plants. The 

 nursery stock comprises herbaceous perennials 

 MM well as trees and shrubs.

 and miscellaneous aappUea; forty large pases, 

 in a handsome corer, uiowlng bnlboos flowers and 

 sweet peas in their natural colors. In the lily 

 bulb department many of the prices are omitted, 

 and in their place appears the notice, "Prices

 for this season."

 page catalogue; withoat illustrations. A general

American Greenhouse Kanufacturing Co., Chi- 

 cago, 111. — "American Greenhouses and Gar- 

 dens," a real catalogue de luxe, containing 

 twenty-four unusually large pages, about 12x18 

 inches, bound in a strong, tastefully designed, 

 marbled cover. Many of the illustrations are col- 

 ored. In all respects — in paper, typography, il- 

 lustrations and reading matter — the book is of 

 exceptionally high grade. Though intended to 

 make its principal appeal to owners of es- 

 tates and to other non-commercial growers, it 

 will be interesting and helpfully suggestive to 

 practical florists.

 Illustrated 8-page bulb catalogue. Besides the 

 bulbs, there are offerings of "plants especially 

 suitable for the home during the fall and winter"

 nials, ornamental shrubs and trees, evergreens 

 and fruit-bearing stock.
