The Florists^ Review 



Septembrr 1, 1921 



PROVIDENCE, K. I. 



The Market. 



The florists of this vicinity are ex- 

 periencing the usual summer lull in 

 business, but everyone expects this con- 

 dition at this period and, therefore, no 

 one is worrying. On the other hand, 

 everyone is taking advantage of the 

 condition to get some recreation or too 

 renovate stores and greenhouses. The 

 growers have got this latter work well 

 in hand and are well advanced in their 

 benching for early cutting. Asters are 

 a glut, but extra fine ones find ready de- 

 mand at satisfactory prices. Gladioli 

 and lilies are reported as more popular 

 than last year and they are showing 

 evidences of gradually increasing in 

 popularity.

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

 Oasiningr. N. Y., brought out the dlfBculty 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.
