The Florists^ Review 



Fgbbdary 12, 1020 



YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE 



in placing the order for this year's greenhouses now. The best 

 grade of the old genuine Louisiana Red Gulf Cypress is scarce and will 

 hh more so this spring, while the cost of labor will be higher than it 

 is now. 



Our patent LEAK-PROOF locked gutter has proven a success. If 

 you are not using the same as yet, do so on your next houses and we 

 know we can add your name to our list of satisfied customers.

The Markets. 



Trade conditions are still at the nerve- 

 wrecking stage, with only a short sup- 

 ply in all lines. In spite of high prices, 

 the demand is such as to tax the re- 

 tailers' efforts to the utmost to meet it. 



Potted plants are having an unprece- 

 dented sale, as they take the place of 

 cut flowers for the sick and as birthday 

 remembrances. It would be a relief to 

 be able to accumulate a little stock. 



Various Notes.

 Velie Villa, has purchased the interests
