The Florists^ Review 



Jandabt 19. 1922 



HAETFORD, CONN. 



Because of the heavy snow storm 

 that invaded Hartford January 11, the 

 meeting of the Hartford Florists' Club, 

 which was planned to be held on that 

 date, was postponed and held Friday, 

 January 13. Seventy-five members were 

 present at the Hotel Bond. Four new 

 members were elected. Other business 

 was rapidly taken care of and matters 

 pertaining to the coming midwinter 

 flower show were discussed. 



Hitchings & Co., Elizabeth, N. J., fur- 

 nished the materials for two houses, 

 25x100, for F. Cawte & Sons, Bloom- 

 field, Conn. The houses have been com- 

 pleted and are now well stocked with 

 snapdragons and sweet peas. Later to- 

 mato plants and other bedding-out 

 plants will be started. The firm has a 

 big demand for these. The company's 

 acreage will be reduced this season and 

 they have a surplus of 50,000 good 

 mixed varieties. 



The first contingent of Dutch bulb 

 travelers have made their appearance. 

 Among these was G. Krossel, represent- 

 ing John Vendel, Hillegom, Holland. 



W. H. Swanson, representing the Al- 

 bert Dickinson Co., Chicago and Boston, 

 was a recent visitor. He reports a good 

 demand for the firm's lawn grass seed 

 mixtures this year. W. H. M. 



SEATTLE NOTES.

flowers is the one complaint registered 

 by the B. E. Hammond Co. California 

 deliveries are arriving in better order. 



As announced in this letter last week, 

 William S. Hoyt, of Hoyt Bros., Spo- 

 kane, Wash., came to Seattle to be mar- 

 ried. A check at the marriage license 

 bureau shows that Miss Florence Tate, 

 of Victoria, B. C, was the bride and 

 the happy couple are receiving the con- 

 gratulations of the entire trade. 



Mrs. Felix Rosaia left last week on 

 a six weeks' trip to California. She 

 will visit relatives in the San Fran- 

 cisco and bay regions. This shop has 

 handled the decorations for several balls 

 during the last fortnight. 



The Art Floral Co. has moved large 

 quantities of Paper Whites lately, while 

 potted offerings continue to sell well. 

 H. M. 



Boise, Idaho. — The Boise Floral Co. 

 has extended its business among the 

 small towns of Idaho within a radius 

 of 100 miles from the capital. The 

 stock of the company is owned by 

 Charles A. Johnson and Hugh Connor,

 years, having previously been engaged 

 in the trade in other western cities.

This Is Important 



Nitrate of Soda not only does not 

 cause the soil to become acid or sour, 

 but helps to correct soil acidity. 



Be careful ! Some forms of nitrogen 

 cause the soil to become acid and there- 

 fore make it necessary to correct this 

 condition before satisfactory crops can 

 again be produced. 



Nitrate of Soda greatly increases crops 

 of grain, vegetables, fruits and flowers, 

 without any bad after effects.
