The Florists^ Review 



November 3, 1921 



Twenty acres they own .nnd ten more 

 leased are fully occupied, and expan- 

 sion is still going on. The specialties 

 are iris, peonies and hardy phlox. Other 

 hardy perennials are grown in consider- 

 able quantities, as well as some orna- 

 mental shrubs and a few fruit and or- 

 namental trees. The latter arc for the 

 local retail trade. The first-named items 

 have been disposed of in considerable 

 quantities at wholesale, and their sup- 

 ply has not yet in any year been suffi- 

 cient to fill all orders. Seven and a half 

 acres are now devoted to gladiolus bulbs 

 and about 3,000,000 were dug this fall. 



PAINESVIUJE, O. 



The nursery business here is going at 

 full blast and the nurserymen in gen- 

 eral feel grateful for the ideal weather 

 which we are having. 



Joseph W. Kallay, of the Donewell 

 Nurseries, has the" contract for the 

 largest landscape planting of the season 

 at the beautiful residence, just com- 

 pleted, of E. E. Metzger, a retired Cleve- 

 land banker. 



The Chamber of Commerce has de- 

 cided to keep Painesville on the map by 

 adopting the following slogan: "Paines- 

 ville, O., the City of Flowers. Stop 

 and see the world's largest nurseries!" 

 The report comes from Washington, 

 D. C, that Painesville has the biggest 

 mail system of any city of its size or 

 population in the United States. The 

 Storrs & Harrison Co. may be given the 

 credit for keeping Painesville in the 

 front rank by the enormous amount of 

 mail received and sent out by that firm. 

 W. H. Nichols & Son had an excep- 

 tionally heavy demand for perennial 

 plants last week. 



The nursery business has caused no 

 little comment here, inasmuch as while 

 other industries have only been working 

 half time, the nursery industry has re- 

 mained firm. 



Fred Endress & Son are busy at pres- 

 ent digging roses. This firm grows 

 about 50,000 salable roses annually. 



C. T. Waldorf has recently retiirned 

 from Warren, O., where he was on busi- 

 ness. 



The E. E. Huntington Co., of Mantor, 

 O., was visited by thieves recently, who 

 purloined some of his rare kinds of 

 gladioli. On their second visit they 

 were not successful and one of them is 

 now boarding with the sheriff. Fortu- 

 nately, they were strangers in this vi- 

 cinity. 



Alvin Smith, in charge of the peren- 

 nial department of the Storrs & Har- 

 rison Co., says that the demand for 

 perennial stock is heavy and even sur- 

 passes that of last year." 



Wilson's Flower Shop gave an exhibi- 

 tion of dahlias last week, which was 

 largely attended. The dahlia stock was 

 grown by H. P. Winters, who makes a 

 specialty of this line. T. J. M. 



St. Paul, Minn.— Weebor & Bace, 

 greenhouse manufacturers and builders, 

 of Minneapolis, have just completed a 

 palm liouse 30x76 and fourteen feet 

 high for Holm & Olson.
