The Florists^ Review 



Sbpthmbib 4, 1019. 



PROVIDENCE, B. I. 



The Market. 



The florists were completely cleaned 

 out of white roses August 30, as sev- 

 eral small weddings and funeral work 

 called for an unusual supply and for 

 Yorkshire night at the British Club 

 upwards of 3,000 were used for decora- 

 tive purposes. The club is arranging to 

 have a Lancashire night, when red 

 roses will be the demand. 



Business generally last week was 

 above the average for this season, a 

 larger number of small weddings and 

 numerous funerals keeping the market 

 well cleaned up each day. Heavy and 

 continuous rains of the last fortnight 

 have practically ruined the outdoor 

 crops of asters, so that there is a short- 

 age. Gladioli, dahlias and sweet peas 

 are selling well.

In all our experience and inyestigation 

 we had never found a preparation for 

 bulbing over the outside of a greenhouse 

 that was quite satisfactory, until we ran 

 across PERMANITE. This was about 

 four y ears 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 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.
