The Florists^ Review 



August 18, 1921 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Last week was one of the many 

 wherein florists have not been over- 

 worked with the amount of Itusiness 

 that has come their way, with, prob- 

 ably, the exception of a few days. Tlie 

 weather has been much cooler and a 

 betterment of stock can readily be 

 noticed. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Clem Lanternier spent a few 

 days with her husband at the sana- 

 torium at Oxford, O. She brings the 

 report that he is getting better. 



Messrs. Johnson, Hansen and Hines, 

 of the A. L. Eandall Co., Chicago, 

 stopped in the city a few hours on their 

 way to Washington, D. C. They are 

 motoring through and thus improving 

 the opportunity of visiting the florists 

 along the way. John Lodder, of Ham- 

 ilton, O., was also a visitor among the 

 trade. 



Miss Jeannette Schock, of the Flick 

 Floral Co., is spending a couple of weeks 

 at Petoskey, Mich. Miss Catherine 

 Crawford, of J. Breitmeyer's Sons, of 

 Detroit, Mich., is a guest of Miss Alice 

 Flick. Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Shive went 

 to Washington to attend the S. A. F. 

 convention. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey have com- 

 pleted the planting of their carnation 

 houses, which look as though the crop 

 will be fine the coming season. David 

 S. Vesey has gone to attend the S. A. F. 

 convention at Washington. Miss Mar- 

 garet Vesey is home for a few days. 

 Miss Vesey is the general secretary for 

 the Y. M. C. A. at Louisville, Ky. 



S. N. 



Dajrton, O. — A. J. Martin has sold 

 his greenhouse aad his flower business 

 to Mr. and Mrs. Eownsley, who will 

 continue the business. Mr. Martin has 

 bought some land on R. R. 1 and as 

 Boon as he recovers his health suffi- 

 ciently he will go into business again. 



Aransas Pass, Tex. — The Gulf Coast 

 Floral & Vegetable Farm is now known 

 as the Gulf Coast Floral Gardens. Wil- 

 liam Roman, the manager, says that 

 when he first started he grew vegetables 

 entirely. A year ago he started to 

 grow flowers and found them so much 

 more profitable that he now confines his 

 activities to the florists' business. He 

 is growing a g,'neral line of stock, 

 specializing in ferns.

When we started making paint in 1875. in a conversation with Mr. John Hoag of 

 Ossining, N. Y.. brought out the difficulty of getting paint to hold on and look well on 

 his hothouses. The result was this Original Greenhouse White Paint, which after 

 several years of teat by various people was registered under the above trade mark as 

 the original greenhouse paint. If you need paint use it and you will make no mistake.
