The Florists^ Review 



53 



A Certificate of iMerit 



Was awarded us for our display at the annual 

 convention of the Society of American Florists, 

 in Detroit, last month. 



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 ma- 

 chine will absolutely save its cost in one year 

 for the average florist. Write for free booklet.

condition than it was before the storm 

 struck. All stock is in the houses, and 

 the carnations are beginning to give 

 good blooms. It seemed to us in visit- 

 ing several houses that the chrysanthe- 

 mums were a little later this season 

 than usual, or perhaps it would be more 

 accurate to say that there will be fewer 

 of the extra earlies this year than in 

 the recent past. Dahlias have not yet 

 appeared, being held back by the hot 

 weather. However, they have not been 

 important in this market for two or 

 three years. 



Gladioli have been a larger feature 

 in the market here this summer than 

 ever before. The trade are learning how- 

 to use them even in first-rate design 

 work, and as more of the new varieties 

 are being grown, we predict that they 

 will hold this popularity for some time 

 to come. We were especially pleased 

 with Herida, Myrtle, Candidum, Mary 

 Pickford, Lily White and Gretchen

Zang. These are varieties that take 

 the public eye and can be used in a 

 multitude of ways. 



There has been little building here 

 this summer, except rebuilding old 

 houses. Almost everyone has housed the 

 major part of his winter's fuel and all 

 are having a demand for everything 

 they can grow at good prices, and so 

 the general outlook is bright. 



Various Notes. 



The Joy Floral Co. had a heavy loss 

 by hail in the early summer. It has re- 

 built its range, putting a modern house 



in place of the only two old houses it 

 had. It has found it hard to meet the 

 demand of the increasing business this 

 summer, the Chattanooga store having 

 made rapid strides. 



The Littel houses are being put in 

 shape and will be planted again soon. 

 They were not in use while Faye Littel 

 was in the army. 



Charles Tritchler, proprietor of the 

 Sylvan Park Greenhouses, has taken his 

 son into partnership, and they have put 

 in the most complete line of evergreens 

 and other hardy ornamentals ever car- 

 ried in the city. Mr. Tritchler is plan-
