year, have been more numerous than 

 usual and, with an increase in the num- 

 ber of jobs for window, porch and bed- 

 ding work, there is little room for the 

 grower or the retailer to kick. Several 

 times, just when orders were becoming 

 too heavy to handle in the bedding and 

 window box work, the weather would 

 work around and cut off the orders for 

 a time and give the trade time to catch 

 up. For the present, however, atten- 

 tion is being given the replanting end 

 and most of the growers have the job 

 well in hand. The supply has been cut 

 down considerably and only a few good 

 flowers are to be had. Boses hold up 

 better than anything else and, as gladi- 

 oli are slowly coming into bloom, there 

 is trouble in finding enough good stock, 

 even for the light demand. Carnations 

 have been bad for the last week or so 

 and it is hard to get anything that is 

 worth consideration in this line. The 

 daily papers have announced many wed- 

 dings for July and, unless the predic- 

 tion goes wrong, the month should bring 

 forth an unusual lot of work in this 

 line. 



Varloua Notes. 



Henry Smith's store force says busi- 

 ness was good until July 3, when trade 

 dropped off sharply with the continued 

 hot blasts that sent people to the many 

 summer resorts around this section. 



Landscape work is one of the things 

 that the Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. has 

 made a specialty of since the organiza- 

 tion of the firm of Freyling & Mendals. 

 Each year has seen a steady growth of 

 the business handled in this line and 

 for 1913 Mr. Freyling reports the orders 

 were numerous enough to require more 

 help than ordinarily. The mum plant- 

 ing has just been completed and the 

 other stock will be in the benches 

 shortly. 



Crabb & Hunter have branched out 

 into the real estate business. The prop- 

 erty where the greenhouses now stand is 

 in the center of a big residence section 

 that is being boomed for the better class 

 of homes and prices have jumped to 

 attractive levels. As a result the green- 

 house and surrounding holdings of 

 Crabb & Hunter have been plattf^ and 

 offered ^ot salp'^s building lots. 'T^e 

 new downtown store has been in opera- 

 tiotr just a year and has been ^ccessful, 

 according to Mr. Crabb. ' ' ' 



Eli Cross Is satisfied with the spring 

 business and, while things are rather 

 slow at present, the store force is able 

 to keep busy. Mr. Cross contemplates I 



UNITED 

 REFRIGERATION 



The old ice box must go. It's too expensive. 

 It eats into the profits — and doesn't keep the 

 flowers properly. The progressive florist 

 uses the United system. Get particulars —
