The Florists' Review 



May 5, lU^l 



I'ourse, if the rating of 1,600 square feet 

 is reliable, it would also take care of 

 lour feet of j^lass in earli wall. 



If not too long, a oincli main will 

 .iiiswer for each of the houses. Either 

 L'l^. or - iiieli flow inpcs may be used 

 in llie liouses. The former are more 

 ile.siralile. It would be advisable to 

 put ill two 2Vi>-ineh or three "-inch 

 rtowM, placing one ujton each side wall 

 platt', and if a third flow is used, it 

 --liould l)e three feet below the ridge. 

 I'or the returns, use ^iix l2-incli ])ipes, 

 jdai'ing three o)i each wall, unless three 

 flows are used or bottom lieat is desired 

 for the middle bench, in which case 

 there should be two pii)es in each of the 

 three coils. 



ill case there is glass in the side 

 walls, use an additional return for each 

 thirty inches of glass on each siile of 

 t lir house. 



BUFFALO BANQUET. 



A nueting of the retailers and grow- 

 ers of western >»ew York was held April 

 22, at tlie Hotel lro(]iiois, Buffalo. There 

 were 2()(> present at the dinner. The 

 floral decorations were supplied b}' the 

 local florists and were sold at auction 

 the next day at a tea in the hotel and 

 the ])rocee(ls went to the American 

 Legion. 



The main speaker of the evening was 

 .1. V. Amniann, of Edwardsville, 111., 

 ilie secretary of the National Flower 

 • irowers' Association. He pointed out 

 how advertising is the life of the trade 

 ;iiid w.nned against cutting down on 

 ihe ad\'ertising because business was 

 good. He said that it was necessarj' 

 to keeji "S,iy It with FloAvers" in the 

 public eye in order to keep Ijiisiness 

 good. 



Herman Knoble, of Cleveland, urged 

 continued advertising, pointed out the 

 necessity of close relationshi]> between 

 retailers and growers and gave many 

 practical hints for the retailers to use 

 as means of increasing their business. 



Other sjieakers were John H. Dunlop 

 and George M. Geraghty, of Toronto, 

 Ont., and J. L. Higgins, of Troy, N. Y. 

 They told of the conditions in their re- 

 spective localities. The Toronto men 

 brought with them two new varieties 

 of pink roses. One of them was un- 

 named and the other one was Frank 

 \V. r>iinlo]i.

 iug of April Hi, the local fire depart 

 ment was called to the greenhouses of

 heating equipment and Mr. Mclntyre 

 I'stimates the loss at about $200.
