The Rorists^ Review 



FUBRUABI 9. 1922 



account of the scarcity of stock and the 

 constant influx of orders for decorating 

 work. Lemon leaves with oranges have 

 helped out. At a luncheon for Mrs. H. 

 Levi', at the Fairmount hotel, we had an 

 electric fountain in the center of the 

 table, banked with fifteen dozen Colum- 

 bia roses. Six overturned green baskets 

 were filled with heather, Laddie carna- 

 tions and violets, pastel-colored ribbons 

 helping out with the color scheme. At 

 a dinner for thirty people, February 2, 

 we had three tree ferns on a horseshoe 

 table. The ferns were banked with 

 primula plants and cut heather. 



F. C. Jaeger & Son have put off mak- 

 ing some extensive window display work 

 that they had planned to stage early in 

 February, on account of the scarcity of 

 stock. "We are finding diflSculty in 

 filling our sliipping orders," said F. C. 

 Jaeger, Jr. "Country customers con- 

 sider the pruscnt prices so high that we 

 have a hard time explaining the stock 

 shortage to them. Even the city people 

 are complaining, although I can say 

 positively tliat business is good." 



Joseph's has a big display of original 

 boxes, vases, etc., for Valentine 's day. 

 There are oriental boxes, surmounted by 

 Chinese baby dolls, and intended to be 

 filled with spring flowers, painted bowls 

 filled with candy and sugar hearts, to 

 which flowers will be tied, and numerous 

 other novelties, all calculated to stimu- 

 late interest in flowers on St. Valen- 

 tine's day. 



Frank D. Pelicano, of Pelicano, Eossi 

 & Co,, is sufi'ering from a slight touch of 

 influenza and is confined to his home. 



Pelicano, Rossi & Co. are managing to 

 get some exceptionally good violets; 

 they are also cutting some fine Scotch 

 heather. 



Podcsta & Baldocchi had the floral 

 work for the Junior League Club's 3-day 

 festival at the Fairmount hotel. This 

 well known organization gave its serv- 

 ices for the benefit performances held 

 on behalf of homeless babies. Well 

 known professional performers managed 

 the affair. There were quantities of 

 potted flowers, floral offerings for the 

 various performers, corsage bouquets, 

 etc., so that tlic staff was kept busy by 

 the extra work entailed. 



Fred Bertrand, of the Palace Hotel 

 Flower Shop, has been fully occupied 

 with orders for dinner decorations and 

 by the tourists' demand for corsage bou- 

 quets. M. M.

Now — a Power Mower 



for Medium Sized Lawns ^' 



For yean Ideal Power X^awn Mowera have been used for 

 taking- care of large lawns. The thousands of Ideal 

 Mowers In use have definitely demonstrated their labor 

 savingr, money making- qualifications. 

 However, there are thousands of lawns hardly largr« 

 enoug-h to warrant the purchase of a largre power mower, 

 yet with so much grass to cut that proper care becomes 

 a big- problem — and an expensive problem. 



It was for this vast number of medium sized lawns that 

 the Ideal Junior Power Mower was designed. It is 

 moderate in price, dependable, easy to handle, and costs 

 little to operate. 



The Ideal Junior is exactly the right machine for homes 

 with lawns too large to conveniently care for with hand 

 mowers — for mowing the putting greens on golf courses 

 — and for parks and c«meterie« as an auxiliary unit for 

 trimming up and cutting in close quarters. 



For Larger Lawns the 30' Ideal 

 Power Lawn Mower 



For large estates, municipal parks, cemeteries, golf 

 clubs, schools, colleges, etc., the well known 30" Ideal 

 Power Iiawu Mower has no equal. 



Boes the work of 5 to 7 men with hand mowers. Costs 

 about 50 cents a day to operate and soon pays for itself 

 in labor saved. Furnished with or without riding trailer. 



For large parks, golf courses, etc., we build the 

 Ideal Power Triplex Mower.
