The Florists' Review 



Fbbbdabt 19, 1920 



ATTENTION, MR. GROWER! 



w 



HY do you throw away your coal aahes, when by ualnr them 

 In your soil you grow better crop*? 



There are plant food elements In coal aahea; ashes also help to 

 keep the soil sweet; there are elements in ashes that dissolve plant 

 food elements in the soil otherwise dormant 



Ashes act as a solvent to the soil, keep the soil porous and fresh 

 from stagmation. 



Don't waste your clinkers and ashes, spread them on your land 

 to srow better carnations in your fields; your asters also need good 

 light soil. 



The leading growers use their coal ashes. Max Qrohman of North 

 Tonawanda, N^Y., Begonia Lorraine, Cincinnati and Cyclamen spe- 

 cialist, once one of the leading growers for Thomas Rowland, Bos- 

 ton, Mass.. usee all his ashes; Mr. Carl Grobman, grower to S. A. 

 Anderson, Buffalo, N. Y., another famous grower, uses all his ashes; 

 J. F. Anderson, Short Hills, If. J., prominent fern specialist, uses 

 all his ashes in his fern soli; The Lansdale Mushroom Co., Lansdale, 

 Pa., who supply all the leading hotels with cucumbers, melons, to- 

 matoes and mushrooms, grind all their clinkers and ashes for their 

 soil. 



Now, Mr. Grower, get our pulverizer for clinkers and ashes. We 

 have a grinder that we are proud of — it is "fool proof," it grinds up 

 sods, clam-shells and soft limestone. It keeps two to three men 

 busy shoveling in as fast as they can. Don't fail to spread all your 

 ashes on your soil, for it helps the crops and acts a^ a solvent on 

 other plant food elements in the soil. 



Mr. Grower, why throw your money away, by not using your 

 clinkers and coal ashes? 



This pulverizer was designed and made to grind up the soil and 

 sods, also fertilizers that come in bulk from the sheep ranches direct 

 to the grower In carload lots. It can be used for many other pur- 

 poses, and the grower will surely be benefited in many waya The 

 pulverizer has not only many uses, is a big labor saver and a money 

 maker, but is also a better crop producer and a saver in fertilizers. 

 By using up all your coal ashes and clinkers, this alone will save 

 you a lot of money. 



As production and conservation are the grreat roads to success, 

 we would ask you, Mr. Grower, to write us by return mail about this 

 very reasonably priced pulverizer. Price 9U0.00.

The Market. 



Never in the history of this market 

 has such a long period of flower famine 

 occurred. Production has dropped off 

 severely in the principal stocks. In 

 former years this market was supplied 

 with calla and Easter lilies nearly every 

 week in the year; now these two flow- 

 ers are seen only in limited quantities. 

 Pot plants are in abundance, however. 

 The small growers who in former years 

 forced lilies, narcissi and such stock find 

 it costs so much more than in former 

 years that they resort to pot plants. 



Various Notes. 



Undoubtedly St. Valentine's day 

 trade was the best yet. Prices had been 

 firm for some time and did not advance 

 for this day. This made easy selling. 

 Plants sold well. The demand for cor- 

 sages was much better than in former 

 years. Violets were a ready seller. 

 Jonquils and tulips were not popular at 

 $3 per dozen, and at the end of the day 

 they were left unsold. 



There will be no more Sunday fu- 

 nerals in the churches of this city. This 

 was the decision reached a week ago by 

 the Buffalo Federation of Churches. 

 Letters instructing them to discontinue 

 holding funerals on the Sabbath have 

 been sent out to 200 Protestant clergy- 

 men in Buffalo. This marks the culmi- 

 nation of several years' agitation on 

 the subject, and the decision bears the 

 approval of the board of directors, 175 

 Protestant pastors and all of the under- 

 takers and cemetery associations of the 

 city. F. P. A.
