The Florists' Review 



NOTBMBBB 20. 1019. 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business was quiet the first part of 

 last week, but the latter part was ex- 

 tremely busy, riowers have been plen- 

 tiful, owing to favorable weather con- 

 ditions, although there have been some 

 light frosts. 



The dominant flower has been the 

 chrysanthemum. There has been a good 

 sale for Dr. Enguehard, Yellow Bon- 

 naffon and Mensa. Pompons have been 

 in great demand for table decorations. 



Ophelia, Shawyer, Mrs. Bussell and 

 Hoosier Beauty are chiefly in demand 

 among roses. There is a good sale for 

 both double and single violets. There 

 was a great demand for poppies for Ar- 

 mistice day and a good business would 

 have been done if the stock had been ob- 

 tainable. Carnations have been plenti- 

 ful. Calendulas have also been plenti- 

 ful, with the demand brisk. 



Various Notes. 



At the greenhouses of Knecht & 

 Freese they have been cutting some un- 

 usually fine Columbia and Bussell roses, 

 also some Major Bonnaffon and Eaton 

 mums. 



The Blossom Floral Co. had a number 

 of large baskets for the opening of the 

 Busy Bee, a new confectionery store 

 here, and of the Gaylord Clothing Co. 



Ten employees of the Flick Floral Co. 

 were entertained at a dinner party 

 Wednesday evening, November 12, at 

 the Wolf & Dessauer tea room. 



Mr. Huddelson, of the Ove Gnatt Co., 

 La Porte, Ind.; Henry J. Kaspar, of the 

 Kaspar Manufacturing Co., Chicago, and 

 Hiram A. Frishkorn, of the Pittsburgh 

 Cut Flower Co., Pittsburgh, called on 

 the trade in this city last week. 



A local firm, the E. F. Brinkman Co., 

 has just signed a contract with the So- 

 ciety of American Florists for 1,000 

 road signs, 7^>x20 feet, for $45,000. 



At the store of Edgar Wenninghoff, 

 some Chinese narcissus plants have been 

 on display and there has been a good de- 

 mand for them. Mr. Wenninghoff has 

 had some decidedly artistic window dis- 

 plays recently. A. F. 



Syracuse, N. Y.— The Baker Floral 

 Co. has sold its greenhouses, with all 

 stock and fixtures, to E. W. Edwards & 

 Bon. 



CHARCOAL 



equalizes water in 



Sandy Soils 



Charcoal has the wonderful power of absorbing 

 excess moisture, purifying it and yieldinK it up 

 as required by the plant. So that in sandy soils 

 otherwise excessive drainage is equalized to the 

 plant by charcoal. 



Long experienced and successful gardeners are 

 practically unanimous in favoring charcoal as 

 an absolute necessity in all soils. 



One bushel of charcoal (extra fine, size 20) 

 should be mixed with sixteen bushels of earth 

 in general soil preparation and an inch or more 

 of size 1 (nut) should be placed at the bottom of 

 all pots and beds.
