The Florists' Review 



September 18, 1919. 



held for one week beginning September 

 29. The florists will also have a booth, 

 in which arrangements of flowers, in- 

 cluding baskets and bouquets, and a fine 

 display of plants will be shown. A 

 great deal of publicity is being ac- 

 corded the florists through the daily 

 papers on the work of decorating the 

 court of honor. Hardy flowers and 

 foliage and evergreens will be used 

 mainly for this decoration. 



Mr. Maynard, formerly with Alex Mc- 

 Gonnell, of New York, has accepted a 

 position as head orchid grower for W. J. 

 & M. S. Vescy. He will have charge 

 of the ten orchid houses of this large 

 firm, and will grow all of the popular 

 commercial varieties. Samuel Hudson, 

 formerly with W. J. & M. S. Vesey, has 

 taken a position ou a private estate in 

 Columbus, O. 



A fine lot of Shawyer and Ophelia 

 from young stock is being cut at the 

 greenhouses of the Knecht-Freese Flo- 

 ral Co. The stock is in excellent shape 

 tliere, and chrysanthemums will be ready 

 for cutting about October 1. 



A. J. Lanternier & Sons are showing 

 some carnations from their new stock, 

 which are bringing good returns.

The Market. 



The market last week was slow until 

 Saturday, when it picked up consider- 

 ably. Stock has been arriving in large 

 quantities and more has been going to 

 waste than has been disposed of. Dah- 

 lias have been coming in well, but there 

 does not seem to be much call for them 

 this year. Last year anything that 

 looked like a dahlia could be disposed 

 of but this year is different. Gladioli 

 have tightened up a little the latter 

 part of the week. Asters are still ar- 

 riving, but are not in quite so heavy 

 crop nor so good as heretofore. Zin- 

 nias, marigolds, bachelor's buttons, 

 eupatorium, calendulas and gaillardias 

 have been moving only fairly well. 



Vaxious Notes. 



Albert Barber's car was stolen, but 

 was recovered again in bad condition.

^-— "^Gloeklcr Refrigerator in the Alpha, an Up-to-date Pittsburgh flower Store.-^"^—" 



"Pittsburgh's newest flower store, and one of its most beautiful and 

 elaborate retail establishments. ♦ * ♦ ♦ As will be seen by the ac- 

 companying lUustratlen, the fixtures and decorations are exceptionally 

 attractive. * * * • The color scheme is light blue, which sets off the 

 large white icebox, a Bernard Glaekler Co. installation, and the marble- 

 lopped counters."— From The Florists' Review. 



THE essential feature of a refrigerator for cut flowers is a cold, dry circula- 

 tion of air. That is the fundamental principle of Gloekler Flower Refrig- 

 erators. The stock keeps to its full limit, and at the same time results in a 

 saving of ice. It requires perfect insulation to produce this condition, and the 

 Gloekler method of reinforced cork insulation has been proven by test the only 

 practical way of producing such a result. 



And then, the selling quality of the refrigerator — that is a big point for 

 consideration. These refrigerators display flowers so attractively that the 

 flowers almost sell themselves. They are as valuable as an extra salesman in 

 your store. They present an insistent argument to the customer to buy, but in 

 an unobjectionable way, And, after all, the first aim of the florist is to sell. 



Gloekler Refrigerators are made of selected materials, finished to exactly 

 harmonize with your store interior. 



Many splendid styles and sizes in stock for quick ship- 

 ment. We build any size er style to order. Any finish.
