The Florists^ Review 



Fbbeuary 10, 1921 



NEW FERN 



NEPHROLEPIS 

 HILLSI 



This is the most disinct commercial novelty in many years. 

 It originated In our nursery, as a sport from Teddy, Jr., but, 

 as will be seen by the illustration, it is of an entirely different 

 character to the parent, of stronger growth and a most re- 

 markable variety. It is beautifully serrated, producmg fine 

 fronds, and of excellent habit, being readily salable in large 

 or small plants. A point that will appeal to the grower is that 

 it thrives well under adverse conditions, making a fine growth 

 under the benches on which other plants are growing, thus 

 saving room at all times. It has been thoroughly tested 

 out, both in our greenhouses and under lath, and we have no 

 hesitation in recommending it as the best of the Nephrolepis 

 sports to date. It will eventually become as popular as the 

 Boston and, having worked up a large stock, we are offering 

 it direct to the trade at a very low price for such a valuable 

 novelty. Strongr, healthy plants in 5-inch pots, $9.00 per dozen. 

 Smaller stock will be offered in April. 



Good, hardy assorted Boston, Boosevelt and Harrisii, 4 -inch, 

 pot-1>onnd, ready to ship, 925.00 per 100. From beds, ready 

 for 6-inch pots, 120.00 per 100. Plus 10% for boxing. 



Finished stock from 5-inch to 10-inch always on hand in 

 quantity.

The Market. 



(Spring llowers arc eoniinj; in freely, 

 owing to tlio milder weather. \'iolets, 

 which had suffered from storiiis and 

 frosts, are now in good shape :igain and 

 jwiekers are using them freely. Daffo- 

 dils, Paper While narcissi, simwilrops, 

 hyacinths and tulips, with numerous 

 other early spring flowers, are quite 

 ]ilentiful in the niarlcct; iii fact, the 

 imly real scarcity is in roses, which are 

 high in cost and are somewhat difficult 

 t(i obtain. S]irays of flowering acacia 

 are being much used for decorative pur- 

 jioses, as well as for shi]>ping, and fruit 

 blossoms .'ire now plentiful in the mar- 

 ket, especially almond and peach 

 blossoms.

 its first liaiiipiet a1 tlie Fior d 'Italia res- 

 taur.'iiit, Hro;idway, S;itmd;iy e\('iiing, 

 February '>. (Jharles J'.rowii had been 

 working esjiecially hard to arrange all 

 the details of the affair so that it would 

 be a comjilete success. He reports en- 

 thusiasm on the part of the moiiibers, 

 who attended in considerable minibers. 

 The toMstmaster was Angelo IJossi. 



There has been some discussion as to 

 whetlicr florists' shops in lenijiiig hotels 

 should practice Sunday closing or not. 

 .Tulius Eppstein, of the Hotel St. Fran- 

 cis, has been closing on Sunday for the 

 last two week's and it was announced 

 last week thrit the custom will be con- 

 tinued.
