The Florists^ Review 



St^l'TKUBKU 16, 1913. 



SEPTEMBER SOWING 



SY SOWING seed of Silver Pink Snapdragon during 

 September, you can have a continuous supply of 

 blossoms from Easter until July. Pause a moment 

 and figure what this means. There is no other plant that 

 can be depended upon to do half so much business nor 

 yield half so much profit. See recent ads to find what 

 our patrons say. A big grower who had one pkt. of seed 

 last year has just reordered seven pkts. This is the kind 

 of evidence that counts. 



Silver Pink is easy to grow, and our free directions give the 

 necessary rules. Our prices are low and. whether you use seeds or 

 plants, you can have a bed at very small cost. Price of s^ed, over 

 500 tb the pkt., $1.00; 3 pkts.. ^2.60; 7 pkts., $5.00-T)y return mail. 



PLANTS 



We have the linest plants that we have grown— about 25,000 of 

 them, ready for shipment in October. They will be ready for the 

 bench or pottincr on without further topping. Order early, even if 

 you are not ready to bench. By gettiug them when ready, you will 

 save on the price and express. If your bench is not ready, you can 

 hold thpm in 3-inch pots. Figure your needs and let your order 

 come. The price is only $4.00 per 100, tS-'i.OO per 1000, by express. 



Cash, please.

The Market. 



With cooler weather last "week, the 

 market is toning up. A few early white 

 and yellow mums have appeared in the 

 £uclid avenue windows and are quickly 

 picked up. Asters are plentiful, the 

 better grades bringing good prices. 

 Dahlias are beginning to be noticeable. 

 Boses are improving in quality, Sun- 

 burst, Killarney and Maryland being 

 extra fine for this season of the year. 

 There are, however, plenty of cheap 

 roses. Carnations, while short of stem, 

 are good in size and color. Lilies, val- 

 ley and green goods are equal to the 

 demand. 



Various Notes. 



The florists' industry iu Cleveland 

 was represented September 17 in the 

 industrial parade which marked the end 

 of the Perry Centennial celebration. 

 Two large floats, one showing the grow- 

 ing end of the business and the other 

 the finished product or artistic use of 

 flowers, were entered by the local 

 florists. A fund of $350 was subscribed 

 for this purpose. 



The Cleveland Florists ' Exchange has 

 added to the store force to handle the 

 coming fall trade. 



The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. is the 

 first to show early mums. October Frost 

 and Monrovia are the varieties. 



F. A. F. 



Erie, Pa. — Miles R. Miller has opened 

 a store at 924 Peach street, opposite 

 the new Lawrence hotel and in the 

 heart of the theater district. Mr. 

 Miller's seventeen years' experience in 

 the trade should guarantee success in 

 such a location. 



Jacksonville, 111.— But one rain in the 

 last ninety days is the record here. Out- 

 side stock is almost smaller than it was 

 when planted. Joseph Heinl & Sons arc 

 hauling 5,000 gallons of water at a cost 

 of $16 a day, and as a result the stock 

 in their houses is looking fine.
