The Florists^ Review 



May 31, 1917. 



AN UP-TO-DATE GREENHOUSE 



must be lasting, secure, efficient, properly ventilated 



It must be constructed in accordance with the rules which have 

 been approved by knowledge and experience. We have been in the 

 greenhouse manufacturing business for a good many years and our ex- 

 perience is at your disposal. Whether you intend to build your first 

 house or plan an addition, we believe that our suggestions will be of 

 interest to you. Our material is strictly first- class both in grade and 

 workmanship. Our new "Leak-Proof" Gutter is bound to give you 

 satisfaction. Our prices are reasonable. We use only the best grade 

 of Louisiana Red Cypress.

The Market. 



Cold weather last week, with frost 

 May 24 and 25, shortened the supply 

 of outdoor stock for Decoration day. 

 There were no local peonies. However, 

 roses, lilies and other flowers, except 

 carnations, were plentiful. The whole- 

 sale houses have been overcrowded 

 with stock of almost every kind, par- 

 ticularly Beauties, sweet peas and snap- 

 dragons. There is a scarcity of good 

 smilax and Asparagus plumosus and 

 Sprengeri. The majority of the retail 

 stores handle bedding plants and are 

 now quite busy. Business is excellent 

 with the retailers. The plantsmen have 

 had a little trouble in getting good 

 blooming stock for cemetery decora- 

 tion, for in this city everyone tries 

 to have his cemetery lot planted before 

 Memorial day. The cemetery superin- 

 tendents have been experiencing diffi- 

 culty in securing enough labor. 



The vegetable plantsmen have been 

 reaping a harvest, asking big prices for 

 poor plants. Seedsmen never before 

 saw such a demand for seeds and if the 

 purchasers get even half their nionev 

 back in vegetables, we all shall have to 

 be vegetarians to consume tlie output. 



Various Notes. 



Bert Huttinger was a visitor in 

 Cleveland last week. 



Ed. Weaver, of Randolph & Meneni- 

 ents, was ill last week. It is tliought 

 he was poisoned by dogwood. His eves 

 were badly affected. 



David Hill, the Fifth avenue florist, 

 lost his fatlier last week. His nianv 

 friends in the trade extoud their syni- 

 pathies. 



Paul Berkowitz, representing H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, 

 was a visitor here last week. Clarke. 



Binghamton, N. Y.— Believing tliat 

 the common interests of the city's trade 

 could be more effectively promoted 

 through the efforts of an organization, 

 the leading florists of Binghamton re- 

 cently formed what will be known as the 

 Binghamton Florists' Association, with 

 the following officers: President, Wil- 

 liam Baker; vice-president, J. W. Beck- 

 with; secretary-treasurer, A. M. Fan- 

 cher. Meetings were held May 13, at 

 7:30, and May 28, at 9 o'clock.
