The f^Iorists^ Review 



October 16, 1913. 



OHl JOYZ! 



Here is the Red Carnation we all iiave been looking for 



For the last two years E. H. Blameuser, of Niles Center, 111., has beea shipping us cut blooms of a new red car- 

 nation—seedling raised on his place, he said. He seemed to cut, and cut, and cut, and cut— never off crop, and 

 he always could go out and cut us a few more when we phoned him. So he named it JOT I He describes it 

 as "a strong grower, early, very free and continuous bloomer, with strong calyx and good stem," to which we 

 add that it is one of the best shippers -we ever handled. Appreciating that here is a commercial 

 red (perhaps scarlet is a better word) carnation, a real bread-and-butter red, one you all can grow at a proflt.we 

 have arranged to disseminate Joy in 1914 as exclusive selling agents. Jobbers can get it through us. The 

 originatoi says it is so easy to root he can afford a low price, and we offer 



ROOTED CUTTINGS, January delivery • . . $10.00 per 100, $80.00 per lOOO

The Market. 



Trade remains about the same as last 

 reported. We had some real summer 

 weather, which caused stock to come 

 along rapidly, bringing a plentiful sup- 

 ply of almost everything but roses into 

 the market. So far we have had no 

 frost to speak of, and never in many 

 years have dahlias been so plentiful and 

 of such fine quality as this year. Some 

 of the stores have been featuring them 

 in the windows and have sold many 

 hundreds. Mums are, of course, getting 

 more plentiful and better as the season 

 advances. Snapdragons and gladioli 

 are about gone. 



Various Notes. 



John Breitmeyer'a Sons had a display 

 of dahlias in their window the latter 

 part of the week of October 5, from the 

 dahlia farm of J. Baumann, at Bir- 

 mingham, Mich., which was without 

 doubt the finest seen in this vicinity. 

 There were in all twenty-five varieties, 

 all choice. On each vase the name of 

 the variety was shown. 



The weather permitting, a party of 

 about 100 members of the Detroit 

 Florists' Club will leave the Michigan 

 Cut Flower Exchange building Friday 

 morning, October 17, in automobiles, 

 bound for Oxford, Mich., to visit Eobert 

 Unger and be his guests for the day. 



B. Schroeter showed some beautiful 

 varieties of dahlias, effectively ar- 

 ranged in hampers and baskets, in one 

 of his windows. In the same window 

 were also some specimen plants of the 

 new Dracaena Eotheana and Nephro- 

 lepis Goodii. 



The L. Bemb Floral Co. has been ex- 

 ceedingly busy with table decorations. 

 This firm will stop at nothing to carry 

 out an idea and it is nothing unusual 

 for them to model designs out of clay 

 and then bronze or color them to har- 

 monize with some decorative scheme. 



Mrs. Anna Marie Stahelin, mother of 

 Albert Stahelin, of Bedford, Mich., died 

 October 10 and was buried October 13. 



October 20 will be retailers' night 

 at the Florists ' Club meeting, and many 

 questions of special importance to the 

 retail florist will come up for discus- 

 sion. Subjects have been assigned to 

 several retailers, who are to give short 

 talks. H. 8.
