The Florists^ Review 



August 21. 1913. 



TOLEDO. O. 



The Market. 



Businfess has improved in the last week, 

 and the supply of flowers is much better 

 than before. Gladioli and asters are 

 more plentiful. The latter, however, are 

 not as good as one would like, but this 

 is due to the hot, dry weather. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club met August 12 for 

 the annual election of officers. Frank 

 Schramm, one of the youngest and most 

 energetic florists of this city, was 

 elected president; Max Spanner was 

 chosen vice-president and George 

 Schramm secretary and treasurer. The 

 outlook of the club for this year is 

 good. Helen F. Patten. Henry Heinl 

 and "Will Krueger compose the member- 

 ship committee, and they hope to be 

 able to interest all the florists of the 

 city in the club's work, and to gain 

 many new members. The new presi- 

 dent is one who will leave nothing un- 

 done that will increase the helpfulness 

 of the club to all of its members. 



Those of this citv in attendance at 

 the convention at Minneapolis are Otto 

 Krueger, Henry Heinl, Helen F. Fatten 

 and Mrs. E. Suder. The last-named is 

 our pioneer florist and the one to whom 

 is due more credit for the progress the 

 florists' trade has made here than to 

 any other florist of our citv. 



The Cushman Gladiolus Co.. of Sylva- 

 nia, O., is sending in some fine varieties 

 of gladioli. H. F. P. 



Albany, N. Y.— The Albany Florists' 

 Club held its outing and clambake at 

 the grove of Henkes Bros, at Newton- 

 ville, August 16. Fred A. Danker is 

 treasurer of the clambake committee. 

 He, with Thomas Tracey and Samuel 

 Hanson, was also appointed by Presi- 

 dent Frederick Henkes to arrange the 

 program of sports. The next meeting 

 of the club will be September 4 at Mr. 

 Banker's place, at 744 Central avenue.

FARMERS & FLORISTS TANKAGE FERTILIZER 



€L Is acknowledged by the majority of florists and farmers of the 

 United States to be the best balanced commercial fertilizer manu- 

 factured. It carries in its composition a percentage of the ten Basic 

 Salts constituting soil, and it would be an impossibility to use it on 

 any farm, field, lawn or bench without enhancing fertility and pro- 

 ductiveness. It carries a very high percentage of the principal plant 

 foods, as certified in its guaranteed analysis of:— Nitrogen 2.90%, 

 Ammonia S^ to 4%, Phosphoric Acid 8 to 10% and Potash 3%. 



e. Our AETNA BRAND OF TANKAGE FERTILIZER is giving 

 universal satisfaction wherever used, and as we believe in the law 

 of live and let live, and that honesty is the best policy, we have 

 placed this fertilizer within the reach of all growers at the low fig- 

 ure of $22.00 a ton, f. o. b. Chicago. Write for sample order and 

 booklet of instructions.
