The Florists' Review 



JUNB 11, 1914. 



HAETFORD, CONN. 



Tbe Market. 



The general report of Memorial day 

 business is that it was the biggest 

 ever. The supply of flowers was heavy, 

 with the quality of stock better than 

 usual at that season, owing to the late 

 spring, which retarded stock. Memo- 

 rial day was preceded by two weeks 

 of warm, sunny days, just what the 

 growers needed to bring on the cut 

 flowers. Everything in the line of a 

 flower sold. The plantsmen did a big 

 business also. 



Various Notes. 



The Bon Ton Flower Shop reports 

 a good Memorial day business. The 

 engagement of Page F. Potter, of this 

 firm, to Miss Anna Mohr has been an- 

 nounced. 



A. A. Schweitfeger has moved to 

 1413 Main street. 



A. Welch, of Asylum street, had a. 

 large stock on hand for Memorial day 

 and did a big business. 



At the establishment of A. N. Pier- 

 son, Inc., Cromwell, 40,000 carnations 

 were cut during the week before Me- 

 morial day. O. P. Anderson, engineer 

 of this firm, was in Chicago last week, 

 inspecting the heating system of 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. 



John Ahlquist, of the Blatchley Co., 

 of Meriden, has rented Mrs. C. M. 

 Woodford's greenhouses, at Plainville. 

 His friends ^ish him well in his new 

 venture. B. C. S. 



Aberdeen, S. D. — R. Strohmeier has 

 retired and turned over his store to 

 Miss Elizabeth Youreman, who has 

 been in his employ for a long time, and 

 Mrs. M. Kronenberger. These two 

 will continue the business under the 

 name of Strohmeier 's Flower Store. 



Minot, N. D. — George Valker is 

 building a bungalow on his land east 

 of town and will add two or three 

 greenhouses this summer. He is going 

 into the nursery business on an exten- 

 sive scale and has already planted 

 about 10,000 small ornamental trees. 



CAPITOL 

 PLANT FOOD 



What is the limit of your size and quality of 

 bloom? 



One user of our Capitol Plant Food has grown 

 this spring a Hydrangea, single bloom, 17 inch 

 diameter in a 7-iDch pot— and says he will next 

 year beat this size. 



Capitol Plant Food is complete plant nutri- 

 tion soluble in water. The most concentrated 

 Plant Food on the market.
