The Florists* Review 



Mabch 2. 1922 



only one copy is known. There were 

 also curious old colored j)rints of Wash- 

 ington made by foreign engravers who 

 never saw him, one of the most interest- 

 ing being a horseback study made in 

 France by an artist unfamiliar with the 

 American army uniform, who dressed 

 the "father of his country" with the 

 uniform of Frederick the Great, of 

 Prussia! The exhibit was tastefully ar- 

 ranged with plants and cut flowers and 

 attracted a great deal of favorable at- 

 tention. Store trade received a decided 

 fillip from the unique display. 



Thomas Roland sj)ent a few days in 

 and around New York last week, visit- 

 ing many of tbe leading pot plant and 

 orchid establiiliments. He was much 

 impressed with the way the George E. 

 Baldwin Co., of Mamaroneck, are raising 

 seedling orchids. They have enormous 

 numbers of them in a flourishing condi- 

 tion. 



In the windows of T. F. Galvin, Inc., 

 on Park street, were noticed handsome 

 vases of lavender freesias on long stems, 

 cut Acacia Baileyana and A. pubescens, 

 handsome blue iris and excellent sprays 

 of Oncidium splendidum. 



At F. E. Palmer's, on Newton street, 

 a fine bed of delphiniums is W( 11 ad- 

 vanced and some will be ready to cut in 

 a few days. The big specimen Acacia 

 pubescens is in the end of the green- 

 house that holds the delphiniums. If 

 the two would flower together they 

 would maka a charming combination. 

 Quantities of pot roses are already in 

 bloom here; also some fine hydrangeas. 

 Quantities are coming in for Easter. 

 The young cyclamens for next season 

 are coming along in good shape and 

 manj' are already well established in 

 3-inch pots. 



Penn's had a charming Dutch garden 

 arranged in one of the large show win- 

 dows last week. Beds of tulips in in- 

 dividual colors, borders of hyacinths, a 

 background of shrubbery and ground- 

 work of sheet moss to represent grass 

 were all well done. Pans of Darwin 

 tulips are shown here in quantity and 

 there were noted some pans of Lache- 

 nalia pendula. 



The state legislature committee on 

 daylight saving has reported in favor 

 of a continuance of the present 5- 

 month daylight saving plan; so we are 

 virtually assured of this for the coming 

 season, commencing at the end of April. 



The representatives of the wholesale 

 markets liave liad several lengthy con- 

 ferences of late and jilans are being per- 

 fected to lease or build a suitimle struc- 

 ture for the wholesale cut flower and 

 sundries industries. 



The North Shore Ilortictiltural So- 

 ciety held its annual bantjnet and dance 

 :it Horticultural hall, Manchester, Feb- 

 ruary 2.'?. -Mxiut L'Dii were present and 

 the occasion was an enjoyable one. A 

 group from Boston attended. 



E, E. Randall is having a large call 

 for his new ad.jnstalile plant stands. He 

 lias received a rnitccl States ]>atent for 

 these. Many of the leading retail 

 stores are now using the staiuls. A dis- 

 ]ilay was made at the last meeting of the 

 (iardeners' and Florists' Club and at- 

 tracted nnicli favorable notice. 



The schedule of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society for 1922 will soon 

 be readv to issue. The opening show 

 (■O7nos March 2.T to 2fi and will be ex- 

 clusively for bulbs, so far as eoiiqicti- 

 tive classes are concerned. There are 

 classes for bull) ^^ardeners, both ]>riv;iti' 



and coniniereial, and numerous other 

 '•lasses. W. N. C. 



LOOK OUT FOR ME. STARK. 



J should like to have you print this 

 information regarding the disappearance 

 of Joseph R. Stark, who was manager of 

 the Carbon Floral Co., Priee, Utah. Mr. 

 Stark and myself were partners here, 

 operating a flower store under that 

 name. I wont on a trip, leaving Febru- 

 ary 4, and returned on the evening of 

 February 14. Mr. Stark had left that 

 same day, about four hours before, and 

 left a note saying he would be back in 

 the morning. But he has not returned 

 since. 



After waiting a few days, I found. 



upon investigation, that he had drawn 

 all our money out of the bank and had 

 collected all the bills he could, but had 

 not paid any of the wholesale florists 

 from whom we bought flowers. He got 

 all the cash, between $300 p.nd $400. 

 1 had put all the money I had earned into 

 the business and he left a note in the 

 bank for $200. I surely got stung good 

 and hard and, I am afraid, so have some 

 wholesale florists. I hope they will 

 work with me to discover the where- 

 abouts of Mr. Stark and put him where 

 he belongs. I am trying to keep the busi- 

 ness going, so that I can pay off the 

 bills. Will you publish this, so that 

 this man will not sting anyone else in 

 the trade? Joseph Taylor. 



NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



About the Advertising. 



Some little change has been made in 

 the contracts placed for March, April 

 and May for advertising in the national 

 magazines. It was deemed advisable to 

 use 1-column spaces in the magazin-es 

 selected, in order to get the best effect. 

 The magazines selected, and this will 

 be noted in a subsequent report, give a 

 circulation of .approximately 7,000,000, 

 and the publications used are the best 

 in that class. In a few days copies of 

 the advertisements with full particu- 

 lars as to insertions will be sent to every 

 subscriber to the fund and to the mem- 

 bers of the S. A. F. All who receive 

 the samples would do well to incorpo- 

 rate as much as possible of the matter 

 of the original advertisements in their 

 local advertisements, the idea being to 

 link up with the national advertising. 



There is no lack of interest in the 

 progress of the campaign, as the follow- 

 ing report shows:
