The Florists' Review 



Mat 25, 1022 



at the West Barnstable nursery. At 

 present herbaceous plants and bedding 

 stock are in strong demand. More than 

 half the big stock of geraniums is al- 

 ready sold. • 



The A. Leuthy Co. states that, from 

 present indications, local supplies of 

 bedding plants, in which the firm spe- 

 cializes, will prove quite inadequate. 

 Already the firm is practically cleaned 

 out of some lines. 



Frank Edgar has an extra fine lot of 

 Memorial day plants. He has bought 

 a large quantity of Kurume azaleas and 

 sees a great future in them. 



Local growers of carnations have 

 planted out practically all their stock 

 in the last few days and recent rains 

 have given the young plants a fine start. 

 Laddie is being planted more than ever, 

 at the expense of Pink Delight.

The trade in general is well employed, 

 business is good and expectations for 

 Memorial day are fine. Calls for nur- 

 sery stock are greater by far than those 

 of previous years. The weather has at 

 last become more congenial for outdoor 

 stock. Perennials are assuming a more 

 healthy appearance. Several of the 

 florists in this city refused to sell more 

 than one dozen carnations to a customer 

 during the call for Mothers' day. 



The Worcester Horticultural Society 

 held a successful show May 18. The 

 weather was bad, but the exhibits, which 

 consisted of groups, table displays and 

 cut flowers, were of good quality. Pre- 

 mium winners in the various exhibits 

 were Lange Bros., Iristhorpe; Mrs. 

 White, of Holden, and others. A large 

 pansy exhibit was especially fine. E. A.

What Then Is 

 Thorough Watering? 



My Dad, I'm glad to say, was a farmer. 



A regular farmer, not a collar and cuff 

 fellow who lived in town and rode out to 

 the farm. 



He always used to say that "most sum- 

 mer rains just washed the face of nature 

 and packed the soil; when what growing 

 things needed was a gentle rain, that 

 was an honest-to-God sod-soaker, that 

 got right down to the roots and staid 

 there for a good spell." 



Now you and I might set forth all kinds 

 of theories on watering, from now till 

 the cows come home, and at the end we 

 would get right back to Dad's way of 

 looking at it. 



It's exactly the way we looked at it 

 when designing the Skinner System of 

 watering. 



We designed a sod-soaking waterer and 

 soil loosener; not just a surface wetter 

 and packer. 



To you it may look like just a pipe with 

 holes bored and nozzles stuck in. 



But it's taken a score of years of the 

 hardest kind of hard work and costly 

 experimenting to get it where it is. 



And now it is where it is, it is a thorough 

 watering system that does exactly what 

 we say it will. 



Which in turn is exactly what you want 

 done. 



It s all made up ready for prompt ship- 

 ment. 



200 foot portable sectional line costs only 

 $79.75 complete.
