The Florists^ Review 



August 18, 1921 



ton and Teddy, Jr. — were exhibited by 

 Macaw Bros. There were fine, bushy 

 4-inch pots and big 11-inch tubs, with 

 intervening sizes. Pandanus Veitchii, 

 Dracasna Massangeana and cyclamens 

 formed a lesser part of the exliibit, but 

 the quality was of the same high order 

 as that of the ferns. Duncan Macaw 

 and James McLaughlin accompanied the 

 big truck that brought the plants from 

 Norwood. Pa. 



W. A. Manda, Inc., South Orange, N. J. 



For landscape architects, gardeners on 

 large estates and such individuals the 

 display of W. A. Manda is a welcome 

 sight. For florists it contains fewer use- 

 ful items, though many interesting ones. 

 He has some rambler roses, but many 

 odd, unusual foliage plants, such as 

 Echeveria secunda, Billbergia pyramid- 

 alis, Sedum aureum, cacti, etc., etc. Mr. 

 Manda is on hand, as usual, to discuss 

 entertainingly what he shows. 



H. F. Michell Co., PhUadelpliia. 



Cases of newly imported bulbs were 

 the foremost attraction in the display 

 of the Henry F. Michell Co., but there 

 were many, many other things, too many 

 to list in a small space. There were 

 pots, tubs, flower boxes, rubber aprons, 

 insecticide sprayers, cane stakes, plants 

 of Areca lutescens and numerous other 

 items in supplies for the greenhouse and 

 garden. The bulbs included narcissus, 

 prepared hyacinth, tulip, lilj', etc. 



Isaac H. Moss, Inc., Baltimore, Md. 



A group of banked evergreens from 

 Isaac H. Moss drew much notice from 

 the visitors, since florists are finding 

 moRT and more use for this kind of mate- 

 rial. Junipers, arbor-vita's, Irish yew, 

 retinisporas, Roster's blue spruce and a 

 number of other sorts were noted. 



National Bulb Farms, Benton Harbor. 



Several tables of gladioli of forcing 

 varieties were shown by the National 

 Bulb Farms. Included were Marechal 

 Foch, Prince of Wales, Wilbrink, Flora, 

 Pink Perfection, Willy Wigman and 

 Cliristina Treur, the improved form .at. 

 Wilbrink. These were from Michigan- 



grown Holland bulbs. Bulbs of Mich- 

 igan-grown tulips and daffodils were ex- 

 hibited. A. J. Preuyser and J. Elzinga. 



Nebel Mfg. Co., Cleveland, O. 



An automatic glazing gun filler that 

 attaches directly to the barrel was the 

 center of interest in the exhibit of the 

 Nebel Mfg. Co. This handy device en- 

 ables the operator to fill his gun direct 

 with a feM"^ turns of a handle instead of 

 by the wasteful and slow hand method. 

 Samples of Glazetite were also dis- 

 played. A. L. Nebel was in charge. 



Joseph G. Neidinger Co., PMladelphia. 



Christmas wreaths made up a large 

 part of the display of the Joseph G. 

 Neidinger Co. and their variety and 

 tasteful design attracted much notice 

 to them. Two-tone baskets with large 

 plants were exceedingly effective, as 

 was particularly shown by two filled 

 with plants of the Kobert Craig Co. 

 Small novelties in Christmas figures 

 showed ingenuity. Standard supplies of 

 chiffons, ribbons, etc., were shown. 

 Joseph G. and Jack Neidinger were pres- 

 ent, also Harry Crawford and H. S. 

 Price. 



Orcliard Paper Co., St. Louis, Mo. 



Samples of the new wrapping paper 

 becoming so widely used by florists, that 

 watermarked with the slogan, "Say It 

 with Flowers," were the chief support 

 at the exhibit of the Orchard Paper Co. 

 Fans were given visitors, a thoughtful 

 and welcome token. 



Paranoid Co., Cleveland, O. 



Samples of Paranoid, a glazing com- 

 pound becoming more and more widely 

 used, and of paints for boilers and stacks 

 were exhibited by the Paranoid Co. The 

 glazing gun employed with this material 

 was also shown. White Paranoid, a simi- 

 lar composition having the same quali- 

 ties as the black, was shown. Though 

 new, it is already much wanted. F. E. 

 Dempsey was with the exhibit. 



S. S. Pennock Co., Philadelphia. 



The supplies that every florist needs 

 and needs constantly — in other words, 

 the staples — formed the S. S. Pennock 



Co. display. Silver sheen chiffon, rji 

 bons, baskets, velours and pins wc 

 principal among the many items showi j 

 E. J. Fancourt, E. H. Moriehard and \, 

 W. Swan were with the exhibit.

 polyantha ferns made up the display c, 

 the A. N. Pierson Co., showing the e.\ 

 cellent quality of the stock from th< 

 Cromwell greenhouses. Literature ri' 

 garding the new rose, Priscilla, wa

Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., Pittsburgh. 



Whether planning for immediate or 

 holiday business, the retailer found much 

 useful in the display of the Pittsburgh 

 Cut Flower Co. Wreaths in considerable 

 variety, a wide assortment of basket.^, 

 chiffons and ribbons of the most usable 

 "sort and other supplies, artificial flowers, 

 etc., made up an extensive display. 

 Messrs. Hook, Wampler, Frishkorn and 

 Sawyer attended the display. 



Cliarles Pommert, Amelia, O. 



A new gladiolus. Purity, a sport from 

 the Pommert strain of America, was 

 shown by Charles Pommert, who is pro 

 prietor of the Glen Mary Fish Farm as 

 well as a large grower of outdoor flowers 

 for the Cincinnati market. His son. 

 John Pommert, is active manager of the 

 business. In the seven years he has hail

 up a large stock, which he now proposes
