The Florists' Review 



Seftembei: 11, 1913. 



USE THE 



BLOWER 



Distributes Salphur, Lime, Slug Shot, Orape Dust, Tobacco Dust, Parts 

 Green or any other powdery substance. Does the work evenly, so erery 

 leaf receives Its due proportion, without any belnf? wasted. By using 

 the P«erle»B , a 200-ft. greenhouse can be perfectly powdered In less 

 than five minutes. Florists say: 



"It's a sreat improvement o-v*t the bellows."

GRAND BAPIDS, MICH. 



The Market. 



This has been the hottest summer we 

 ever had, with the most prolonged 

 drought ever experienced. Since Juno 

 we have had but two slight showers, 

 the eflfect of which was dissipated by 

 the sun in a few hours. All outdoor 

 stock has suffered severely; gladioli and 

 asters are almost a total failure, as are 

 all outdoor flowers. Carnations that 

 were planted out early came through 

 in pretty good shape. Carnation plant- 

 ing in the houses is done and the over- 

 hauling of heating plants, boilers, etc., 

 is well under way. 



State Fair Flower Show. 



, The West Michigan State Fair was 

 held here last week. We had ideal 

 weather and a successful show. In the 

 floral department, Henry Smith and the 

 Crabb & Hunter Floral Co. were the 

 principal exhibitors, dividing most of 

 the premiums between them, as follows: 



General collection of stove and greenhouse 

 plants, not less than thirty varieties, Crabb & 

 Hunter Floral Co., lirst; Henry Smith, becond. 



Twenty-five palms, Henry Smith, first; Crabb 

 & Hunter Floral Co., eecoud. 



Oollectlon of ferns, Crabb & Hunter Floral 

 Co., first; Henry Smith, second. 



Best floral design, Crabb & Hunter Floral Co., 

 first; Henry Smith, seoond. 



Fancy basket of flowers. Crabb & Hunter 

 Floral Co., first; Henry Smith, second. 



Display of roses, llonry Smith, first; Crabb & 

 Hunter Floral Co., second. 



Display of carnations. Henry Smith, first; 

 Crabb & Hunter Floral Co., second. 



Display of asters, Henry Smith, first ; Crabb & 

 Hunter Floral Co., second. 



Display of cannas, Crabli & Iliinlor Floral Co.. 

 first; Henry Smith, second. 



Display of gladioli, Crabb & Hunter Florii! 

 Co.. first; Heurv Smith, second. 



Display of dahlias. Crabb & Hunter Floriil 

 Co., (irst; Henry Smith, seeond. 



The foregoing were the premiums 

 that brought forth the hardest com- 

 petition. Aside from these, Crabb & 

 Hunter Floral Co. won nine firsts and 

 six seconds, and Henry Smith won si.x 

 firsts and nine seconds. 



The Crabb & Hunter floral piece was 

 a broken column, with white carnations 

 for a groundwork; the broken top was 

 of red roses and broadly twined around 

 the column were red roses and valley. 

 Henry Smith had a 3 foot wreath of red 

 roses on a 6-foot stand; the base of the 

 stand was filled with Easter lilies only; 

 it was a fine, imposing piece. 



In addition to awards for plants ami 

 cut flowers, Mr. Smith won thirty-five 

 firsts and twelve seconds on fruits, his 

 total winnings being fifty firsts and 

 twenty-four seconds. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Smith, Alfred Hannah, Crabb 

 & Hunter Floral Co. and Eli Cross 'arc 

 installing the Simonds vacuum heating 

 system. It is highly recommended by 

 all who have installed it and is claimed 

 to be a coal saver. Anyway, piost, if 

 not all,' of the local florists' are going 

 to use it. G. F. C. 



Clinton, Mass. — Edward Breed acted 

 as judge at the Lancaster flower show.
