The Florists' Review 



JULY 3, 1913. 



SPBINOFIELD, MASS. 



The Market. "* 



This market has juat passed through 

 a week of commencements and wed- 

 dings, as practically all the schools had 

 their graduations last week. The wed- 

 dings were numerous, but there were 

 no particularly large ones. Roses are 

 scarce; since the coming of hot weather 

 the price has almost doubled. Carna- 

 tions are really wonderful for this time 

 of the year. Cattleya gigas was in 

 great demand last week. Sweet peas 

 are getting scarce. Garden flowers are 

 plentiful and find ready sale for vari- 

 ous functions. Sweet-williams and lark- 

 spurs are used a great deal now for 

 decorating, etc. A considerable amount 

 of funeral work recently has added its 

 quota to the volume of June business. 

 There are no blooming plants to be had 

 just now. 



Various Notes. 



Miss May French visited SuflSeld, 

 Conn., last week. 



Window boxBS, vases and tubs, filled 

 with blooming plants, vines, etc., and 

 placed in the windows and other re- 

 cesses of some of the leading business 

 places, have called forth much comment 

 as to the effort Springfield is making to 

 beautify its business section. 



The father of Carl Meacham^ of the 

 firm of Meacham & Hassell, passed 

 away June 24. Richard Campbell, of 

 the Flower Shop, sang at the funeral. 



Superintendent Clark, of the depart- 

 ment of streets, advocates the abolition 

 of tree belts where the streets are nar- 

 row and the grassy strips between the 

 sidewalk and the curb cannot be kept 

 in good condition. He contends that 

 the tree belt in such cases detracts 

 from, instead of beautifying, the -street. 



John Donaldson will take a two 

 weeks' vacation early in July. 



Miss Taylor has left the employ of 

 N. F. Higgins. 



Mark Aitken and family have moved 

 from Glen road to Magnolia terrace. 

 He has sold his home on Glen road. 



Miss Sidonie Fischer leaves July 3 

 for a week 's vacation. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, 

 Conn., is shipping some pjooA Cattleya 

 gigas and special vallev to this city.

TANKAGE 



PRACTICALLY every grower now finds that one of his chief p*(il)!ems is an 

 » adequate supply of first-class Fertilizer— the available quatttity of barn- 

 yard manures is inadequate and street and stable manures arei^or, impure 

 and of uncertain value, though expensive. Large growers are meeting the 

 need of a safe, sure, well-balanced fertilizer of unlimited sui^y by using 



FLORISTS' TANKAGE

is put up in 100-lb. sacks and is especially prepared to meet the many 

 requirements not filled heretofore. We have spent many years perfecting our
