The Florists^ Review 



January 26. 1922 



vuK>'tubIe routs, bulbs, poultry supplies, tools and 

 garden uccessurieH. The list of tools and supplies 

 is especially extensive in its scope, occupying 

 about forty pages. 



Detroit International Sales Co,, Detroit, Mich., 

 agent for Oebrueder Dippe, Quedllnburg, Ger- 

 many. — Illustrated wholesale catalogue of flower 

 and vegetable seeds; forty-eight large pages, 

 besides a full-page colored insert showing novel- 

 ties in marigolds, antirrhinums, petunias, agera- 

 tiims and primulas. A slogan displayed on an 

 introductory page reads thus: "From A to Z — 

 .\stcrs to Zinnias, all are specialties of Dippe's." 



Storrs & Harrison Co., PainesviUe, 0. — lilus- 

 truted catalogue of seeds, roots, plants, nursery 

 stock and supplies: 160 pages, in a cover which 

 is notable for its harmonious blending of colors. 

 The company refers to its establishment, the 

 ralnesville Nurseries, as being admittedly "the 

 lending departmental nursery in America," with 

 .stocks so complete that "everything needed for 

 orchard, kitchen garden, lawn flower beds, win- 

 dow garden or conservatory may be secured in one 

 order." 



State Nursery & Seed Co., Helena, Mont. — A 

 big, attractive, Impressive-looking book, desig- 

 nated b.v the company as "our complete general 

 catalogue, covering everything for the farm and 

 garden; profusely illustrated." It contains 130 

 unusually large pages. A 4-page red-printed 

 insert contains the vegetable prices, which are 

 not (inoteil in the descriptive text. All four 

 pages of tlie cover are embellished with colored 

 pictures, which tell their own story of cut 

 (lowers, plants, vegetables and fields of grain. 



Aggeler & Husser Seed Co., Los Angeles, Cal. 

 — Twenty-ninth annual catalogue; 112 good-sized 

 pages, in a handsome, colored cover, the front 

 page of which presents a striking view of the 

 sunken gardens at Exposition park, Los Angeles. 

 This catalogue is of special interest to many 

 horticulturists, on account of the peculiar char- 

 acter of some of the California crops and cultural 

 methods and the distinctive manner in which the 

 tK)ok treats of these crops, both in text and 

 illustrations. Drought-resistant crops and sub- 

 tropical varieties of fruits and vegetables are 

 included: jet a large proportion of the items 

 listed arc in general use in all temperate cli- 

 mates. 



W. Atlee Burpee Co., Philadelphia, Pa. — 

 "Burpee's Annual." This is the Burpee general 

 catalogue, the first of the Burpee yearly series 

 of books, and It fully maintains the high standard 

 of previous editions, in typographical accuracy, 

 effectiveness of arrangement and general attrac- 

 tiveness. It contains 180 pages and seems to 

 be even more richly and finely Illustrated than 

 most of the former issues; some of tiie colored 

 plates are particularly pleasing and striking. 

 The company draws attention to the fact that 

 its introductions this season include "three dis- 

 tinct new vegetables, seven new sweet peas, 

 tlio new Floradale daisy and three new dahlias." 



L. L. Olds Seed Co., Madison, Wis. — A system- 

 atically arr:inged 96-page catalogue. In an artis- 

 tically designed cover which is printed in dark 

 lirown. I'lants, roots, nursery stock and sundries 

 are offered, as well as seeds and bulbs. In the 

 vegetable section of the catalogue, the names 

 of the varieties of an.v one kind or class of 

 vegetables, with the prices, appear first in a 

 descriptive, illustrated list and then are re- 

 peated in a condensed list. For instance, three 

 and one-half pages of beans are followed by h 

 half-page summary, "We have taken much 

 pains," says the company, "in making the cata- 

 logue clear and easy to understand. We have 

 (lone away with novelty and specialty pages, 

 listing the different varieties of seed in alpha- 

 betical order." 



E. G. HUl Co., Richmond, Ind.— The typical 

 annual Hill announcement of new and standard 

 varieties of roses and chrysanthemums; twenty 

 pages, printed in large, clear type and exqui- 

 sitely illustrated, not with colored plates, but 

 with the finest possible half-tones. As in other 

 seasons, the Hill assortment of roses is notable, 

 not for its comprehensiveness, but for what may 

 l)e termed its restrictlveness. The list is limited 

 to one new rose for 1922. two for 1923 and half a 

 dozen standard varieties for forcing. Even the 

 Hill "standards" are of decidedly recent origin. 

 "The 'niivelties' of the past three years," says 

 the company, "are now 'standards.' " As one 

 of the roses for ne.\t year is named America, 

 the company nuikes use of a familiar injunction 

 with a parenthetical interpolation, thus: "See 

 (IIIH's) America first." In chrysanthemums a 

 large list is offered, perhaps about four score 

 varieties 



PROVIDENCE. R. I. 



The Market. 



Laat Av«'t'k .saw a trifle more busini'.ss 

 than (lurinjj any previous week since 

 the holidays. An inereasinf? number of 

 funerals caused a greater demand for 

 flowers. Tliere has been a more active 

 call for cut flowers and decorations for 

 numerous social events. The weather 

 has been dark, cloudy and cool, so there 

 has been a slight decline in the cut. This 

 has o.'iused a rise of a few cents in prices.
