The Florists^ Review 



3vvr 20. 1920 



WASHINaTON, D. 0. 



The Market. 



With vacation time at hand, business 

 has been quiet, with the exception of 

 funeral work. The season has been sat- 

 isfactory and the florists expect things 

 to be a little slow during the hot, sum- 

 mer months. Most members of the trade 

 are using this spare time in making im- 

 provements and preparing for next sea- 

 son. The supply of roses and gladioli 

 exceeded the demand during the last 

 week. Greens were also in abundance. 



Various Notes. 



J. V. Janak, of Z. D. Blackistone's 

 force, is spending his vacation in Texas. 



A. Newman, of George C. Shaffer's 

 force, is also away on his vacation. 



George C. Shaffer has returned after 

 an extensive trip in connection with the 

 Killopolis Grotto. 



The rotogravure section of the Star, 

 July 25, contained an interesting picture 

 of a floral horseshoe presented to Sir 

 Thomas Lipton by B. J. Greenhut on 

 board the yacht Victoria. G. V. S. 



OKMULGEE, OKLA. 



The new greenhouses of the Okmul- 

 gee Greenhouse Co. are almost com- 

 pleted. The range consists of two 

 houses, 32x160 feet; one house, 15x160 

 ieet, and a new house ordered, 32x160 

 feet. The houses are planted with car- 

 nations, chrysanthemums and pot plants 

 and the new house will be used for vege- 

 tables. A wholeaale and retail business 

 will be carried on by this firm. George 

 W. Marshall, who is president, also con- 

 ducts a retail store in the city. Mr. 

 Marshall came here from Pittsburgh,

Making Two Plus Two 

 ^ Make More Than Four 



^jJFigure It Out for Yourself 



Of course, when we studied 'rithmetic — with the old school 

 marin who'd been wielding the ruler since before the day the 

 apple fell on Sir Isaac Newton's dome - we were taught 

 that it couldn't be done. 



But now, we've found a way to do it. 



Fact is we know dozens of florists who are doing it every 

 week in the year. 



If you don't believe it, you can figure it out for yourself. 



You know there are two big, double items of expense in 

 growing any crop. 



They are: 



Overhead and Labor 2 



Seeds lor plants ) and Fertilizer 2 



So we can say, the crop . . . . =4 



But suppose you could take exactly the same overhead, plants, 

 fertilizer and labor-and DOUBLE THE CROP. 



That is just what Skinner System Irrigation is doing 

 for its users. 



Outdoors it often doubles the number of blooms on asters, 

 "glads," dahlias and the like. 



And the size and the flower leads on carnation plants, and 

 the number of cuttings on stock plants. 



Indoors it has increased the cut, while cutting in two the 

 cost of waterini;. 



One of our portable lines can be put in ug^j^ mediately — 

 outdoors or in. \ 



Write today for full pejjnculars and a copipm "RAIN, For 

 the Asking." which shows by photos and letters how YOU 

 can make two plus two make more than 9BK
