The Florists' Review 



June 2, 1921 



MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



Memorial Day Business. 



Business for Memorial day was un- 

 usually heavy this year, and the de- 

 mand for both flowers and plants was 

 beyond the supply. The demand for 

 geraniums and vincas was unusually 

 heavy, and all geraniums in bloom and 

 in bud were sold out completely by the 

 growers in this vicinity. A great many 

 more vincas could have been dis- 

 posed of. 



In cut flowers, the demand was heavy 

 for carnations, and colored stock was 

 scarce. There was about enough white, 

 however, to meet the demand. In roses, 

 the call was principally for short and 

 medium grades. There was a quantity 

 of feverfew, gypsophila, snapdragon, 

 candytuft, sweet peas and lilies in the 

 market, all of which sold clean. There 

 were a few peonies, but the stock was 

 poor. 



Shipping business was heavy, as Me- 

 morial day seems to be more observed 

 in the smaller cities than it is in the 

 larger ones. The local business for Me- 

 morial day, however, was much heavier 

 than in former years, for which pub- 

 licity in the local papers is given credit. 



With a big Mothers' day and a big 

 business for Memorial day, this year's 

 May business totals in general above 

 last year. Advance orders are begin- 

 ning to come in for June weddings and 

 for our school closing exercises.

Another Popular Callahan Greenhouse 



Toe type E Callahan Cut- to-Fit Greenhouse shown above 

 is another favorite with progressive florists. It offers 

 wide center clearance and convenient, efficient benching 

 arrangement. Its standard construction includes very 

 strong roof bracing and gable end bracing. 



This house is furnished in three standard widths (D), as 

 follows : 27 feet 6 inches, 31 feet inches and 34 feet 

 4 inches. It includes all of the many features of Calla- 

 han design, such as the Easy-Splice V- Joint, extra large 

 inside drip gutters, lapped and beveled roof bars, etc. 

 You must see it to really appreciate it. And the cost 



is less. 



Let ua figure with you. We can 

 save you money.
