The Florists^ Review 



May 17. 1917. 



was ten feet in height and five feet in 

 width, a wreath of the cascade style. 

 He used lilies, white carnations, lav- 

 ender sweet peas and campanulas. 



W. J. Barnes says that his Mothers' 

 day business surpassed all expectations. 

 All cut stock was disposed of and nu- 

 merous pot plants in bloom were moved. 

 Baskets at $1 to $2 found favor and 

 pans of bedding plants experienced an 

 unprecedented sale. When Mr. Barnes 

 observed that the usual stock for the 

 day was short of the demand he made 

 up much of his bedding stock, and 

 thereby nipped the boom in the bud. 

 Deliveries had to be made all day Sun- 

 day. 



T. J. Noll smilingly reported the big- 

 gest Mothers' day trade he ever had. 

 The shipping business was uncommonly 

 brisk. 



The Alpha Floral Co. reports a com- 

 plete clean-up for the day, and this is 

 significant in view of the fact that the 

 company made ample "preparations for 

 a record business. 



The force of the W. L. Eock Flower 

 Co. worked night and day to handle the 

 Mothers' day business, the largest in 

 the history of the establishment. 



Fred Fromholdt discovered that his 

 large stock for Mothers' day was not 

 sufficient to meet the demand. He sold 

 everything early. 



The tradesmen across the state line 

 say that Mothers' day sales broke rec- 

 ords this year. W. J. B. 



WHEAT, $3.18! CORN, $1.50! 



The west is big. By the enormous vote 

 it cast in the last presidential election, 

 the vast empire beyond the Garden City 

 revealed its marvelous growth in popu- 

 lation; its increase in wealth has been 

 even greater. The westerners are the 

 country's largest producers of food- 

 stuffs, and the high prices of grains and 

 meats, which now give indications ot 

 soaring even higher, have brought the 

 nation's feeders a golden harvest. 



What does this mean to western flo- 

 rists? It means that where bank ac- 

 counts and automobiles are more nu- 

 merous than ever before, where farming, 

 the principal basis of real prosperity, is 

 prosecuted on a vaster scale than ever 

 before, the flower and plant business 

 has everv reason for prospering. 



And the Keview's advertisers meet 

 these florists of the western country 

 under the right auspices; they are intro- 

 duced bv a " friend of the family. ' ' The 

 results are splendid. Plants, seeds, sup- 

 plies, nursery stock, greenhouses, mate- 

 rials— everything is wanted m the 

 middle west and west. Last week one 

 advertiser who spent only $1.25 for an 

 advertisement wrote:
