The Florists' Review 



Fbbbdabt 17, 1921 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



The weather conditions have been un- 

 promising from the growers' viewpoint. 

 Cloudy, with rain and snow, it has been 

 for some time. The most of the retail 

 florists are growers also, so everyone 

 has felt the effects of the dark weather. 

 Notwithstanding this, the business has 

 been good and a number of special 

 social events were staged before Lent 

 began. Violets, sweet peas and orchids 

 have been much in demand. The largest 

 demand is for roses and the supply is 

 far from being adequate. All of the 

 florists reported that the prospects were 

 good for a splendid St. Valentine's 

 day business. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Leitz, of the New Haven Floral 

 Co., reports fine business, but not near- 

 ly enough flowers to go around. 



Miss Jessie Moffet, stenographer for 

 W. J. & M. S. Vesey, is off duty on ac- 

 count of illness. W. J. & M. S. Vesey 

 have leased a j)iece of ground consist- 

 ing of about five acres adjoining their 

 place. They exi)ect to use part of this 

 for prepared soil for their greenhouses 

 and the remainder will be planted in 

 asters and other summer-blooming stock. 



Among the trade visitors were I. Bay- 

 ersdorfer, of II. Bayersdorfer & Co.; J. 

 P. McCarthy, of the M. Rice Co., both 

 of Philadelphia; J. A. Lewis, of Lion 

 & Co., New York, and E. P. Hoehle, of 

 S. S. Skidelskv & Co., New York.

Why Spend Money for Repairs 



When through the use of con- 

 creto benches all such expenses 

 are eliminated ? Concrete im- 

 proves aipearances— the first 

 cost is the last t-ost.

 them yourself. .Send for in-

How to Maintain Beautiful 

 Lawns at Minimum Expense 



m 



Actual use by thousands of Ideal 

 Power Lawn Mower owners has 

 shown conclusively that this com- 

 bination power mower and power 

 roller keeps beautiful lawns in bet- 

 ter condition than was ever pos- 

 sible with hand mowers or horse- 

 drawn mowers. 



Not only does the Ideal permit 

 better care, but also effects a genu- 

 ine economy in up-keep. For one 

 man with an Ideal Power Mower 

 can cut from four to five acres of 

 Rrass per day with little effort and 

 at small cost. Then the fact that 

 the Ideal is also a power roller 

 practically doubles its usefulness. 



It provides exactly what is need- 

 ed for the early spring rolling, and 

 keeps the sod in excellent condition 

 the season through. 



Ideal Power Mowers are used In 

 carina for the grass on industrial 



grounds, private estates, public 

 parks, cemeteries, golf courses, 

 college grounds, school grounds, 

 I)olo grounds, etc. Here are just 

 a few names from the thousands 

 of Ideal users: Archibald M. L. 

 Dupont, Montchanin, Dela. ; Dr. C. 

 S. Hoover, Alliance, O.; Detroit 

 Golf Club, Detroit, Mich.; Public 

 Parks Dept., Hartford, Conn.; Cy- 

 press Lawn Cemetery, Colma, Cali- 

 fornia. 



With riding trailer the Ideal 

 makes one of the most practical 

 and economical riding mowers pos- 

 sible to procure. Furnished either 

 with or without riding trailer. 



Special putting green cutting 

 unit can be provided for work on 

 :.;olf courses. 



Any of our dealers will gladly 

 demonstrate the Ideal for you.
