The Florists^ Review 



Sbptkmbku 28. 1920 



Mr. Florist: 





We are manufacturers of Corrugated Shipping Cases 

 and Design Boxes. Let us quote you on your next 

 requirements. We can make immediate delivery. 



American Collapsible Box Co., 



Walnut Cove, N. C. 



for the Budlong range; repair work will 

 be rushed at once. The glass ordered 

 will cost about $80,000 and expressage 

 some $20,000 additional. The total loss 

 on the Budlong greenhouses and farms 

 is estimated at $250,000. A large pro- 

 portion of their cut has always come to 

 Boston and the firm is optimistic enough 

 to look for a good Christmas crop in 

 .spite of what seemed an almost over- 

 whelming disaster. 



Various Notes. 



The Halifax Garden Co., of which 

 Eber Holmes is the new manager, is 

 shipping in a fine lot of Golden Glow 

 mums and will soon have large ship- 

 ments of roses and carnations. The 

 stock here is looking extremely well. 



The annual fruit and vegetable show 

 at Horticultural hall will be held Sep- 

 tember 25 and 26. On this occasion A. 

 C. Burrage, of Beverly, will make an- 

 other of his notable displays of 100 

 specimen orchids in flower. 



John K. M. L. Farquhar, who re- 

 turned from his European trip last 

 week, states that Kew Gardens were 

 in fine shape and just as well kept as in 

 prewar times. The gardens are likely 

 to be considerably extended ere long. 

 A number of noted English estates were 

 visited, the most interesting one being 

 that of the Hon. Viceroy Gibbs, of 

 Aldenham House, Elstree. In France 

 he found a widespread feeling of op- 

 timism and at the noted house of Vil- 

 morin conditions were nearly normal. 

 A number of nurseries were visited near 

 Orleans. Stocks were much depleted 

 and prices extremely high compared 

 with a few years ago. He believed that, 

 considering how the European countries 

 had suflFered in the great war, horticul- 

 ture in them was making a really re- 

 markable recovery. 



Thomas Roland is marketing an ex- 

 ceptionally fine lot of ferns, crotons 

 and other decorative plants. He has a 

 larger and finer lot of cyclamens than 

 ever before and a superb batch of 

 ericas. Some of the melantheriis will 

 soon be in flower. At Revere roses are 

 just coming into crop and look better 

 than ever. A full coal supply is on 

 hand here, but at Nahant much more is 

 needed. 



Plans are being considered for lec- 

 tures and discussions at all the leading 

 flower shows at Horticultural hall in 

 1921. A prominent lady horticulturist 

 has offered to finance the whole scheme 

 and it is hoped • that we may have 

 shows not less than once a month, with 

 lectures on such subjects as hardy roses.

It responds 

 artistically — 



to any decorative 

 scheme, whether it be 

 with cut flowers, ferns, 

 potted plants, or with 

 artificial flowers — 



€L it is principally used 

 to cover the unsightly 

 flower-pot — 



€[ people like to have 

 their potted plants deliv- 

 ered in these attractive 

 jardinieres. 



C^ the cost to the florist 

 is indeed very small, the 

 good will they gain more 

 than pays for the ex- 

 penditure.
