The Florists^ Review 



June 7, 1917. 



Peter Reinberg Says: 



** We have had the Garland gutters in use over twenty years. 

 They are in just as good condition as when they were first put in." 



Garland Quality Product has thousands of friends such as Mr. Reinberg. 



WHAT AND HOW TO BUILD 



Let us help you decide. We operate foundry, wood mill and machine shops. Our 1917 catalogue 

 is a work of art and has much valuable information. Send for one today. A postal will do.

The Market. 



The weather last week was exceed- 

 ingly unpleasant, the one exception, 

 fortunately for the Bison florists, being 

 Memorial day. Stock of all descriptions 

 was plentiful for the occasion and the 

 returns were most satisfactory. The 

 pot plant business was a conspicuous 

 feature of the day's activities. Ameri- 

 can Beauties moved well in funeral de- 

 signs, and other varieties of roses pro- 

 vided no grounds for complaint, the 

 supply being adequate, the quality good 

 and the prices, except for a few, 

 reasonable. Carnations cleared speed- 

 ily at good figures and thereby gave 

 other flowers a showing. 



Corsage bouquets made large inroads 

 on the supply of sweet peas, and miscel- 

 laneous stock, such as daisies, snap- 

 dragons, marigolds and mignonette, was 

 most useful. It is gratifying to note 

 that geraniums realized much better 

 prices this year. 



Various Notes. 



A smart touring car is affording 

 Frank Baum much enjoyment, and Mr. 

 Baum says he is going to take to the 

 country when bright days come. 



Liberty Loan window displays were 

 the attraction at both ot the Palmer 

 stores last week. 



Alice A. Erckert had an exceptionally 

 good Memorial day trade, William 

 Legge disposed ot all of his plants and 

 L. H. Neubeck chalked up a record 

 business. A. E.

The Memorial day business was good, 

 fully up to the average of other years, 

 and in some instances greater. Cut flow- 

 ers fell short of requirements, and when 

 they were gone plants came into favor. 

 Peonies were scarce on account of the 

 late spring and other outdoor stock was 

 not so plentiful as it should have been. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons put into 

 service a new auto truck for the Me- 

 morial day business. This concern had 

 a large cut of roses and carnations for 

 the day. 



J. C. Elspcrmann experienced a good 

 holiday business, in addition to a large 

 batch of funeral work. 



The Blackman Floral Co. reports a 

 })ig business for Memorial day, as do 

 Otto Kuebler, Karl Zeidler and Theo- 

 dore Kuebler. E. L. F.

The strong, simple construction of Jacobs Greenhouses enables 

 us to keep costs down to a minimum, without affecting durability 

 or utility. In commercial greenhouse building, especially, where 

 costs must be carefully considered, we honestly believe we can 

 give you a "bigger dollar's worth" than the average. Backed
