The Florists' Review 



July 9. 1«14. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Trade has been quiet for the last 

 week or two. Since the bulk of the 

 weddings are over, about the only thing 

 is a little funeral work now and then, 

 and a few flowers for the sick. Stock 

 has been rather poor, so it is hard to 

 fill any orders with satisfaction. Hoses 

 are fair, but they open fast and have 

 to be moved quickly. Killarney, Mary- 

 land and White . Killaniey, with some 

 Kaiserins, are about all that are com- 

 ing in. Carnations are becoming small 

 and are hard to move, as people think 

 they ought to be what they were a few 

 weeks ago. Sweet peas are about done 

 in the houses and the outdoor stock 

 is nearly burned up, so tiw pick is 

 low at present. Valley has been good, 

 but demand is light. Gladioli are mak- 

 ing their appearance and are welcome 

 for a change. There is little in the 

 way of blooming plants at present, with 

 quite a few calls. 



Various Notes. 



The outdoor carnations are looking 

 good, as a rule, and some growers are 

 preparing to plant, as most of them 

 believe in early planting. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has its 

 new rose house completed, with about 

 half of it planted. The house is 37x400. 



Block & Crane have closed their 

 store for the summer. J. M. 



SYRACUSE, N. Y. 



The Bose Show. 



The recent rose show broke all pre- 

 vious records for attendance, interest 

 and merit of exhibits. Imagine over 200 

 varieties of the queen of flowers skill- 

 fully staged. They made the spacious 

 hall a bower of beauty and fragrance. 

 Robert Pyle, vice-president of the 

 American Bose Society, gave a beauti- 

 fully illustrated address the first night 

 of the show on "Famous Rose Gardens 

 I Have Visited." For two successive 

 years Mr. Pyle has delivered the an- 

 nual address and acted as judge. Every 

 village of any considerable size, except 

 one, within thirty miles of Syracuse has 

 members in this organization. Through 

 the inspiration of this society hundreds 

 of new rose gardens have sprung up, 

 and many already in existence have 

 been greatly enlarged and improved. 

 As a direct result of the work of the 

 year, Syracuse is to have a municipal 

 rose garden, and Syracuse University is 

 planning a rose garden, which will prob- 

 ably be located in front of the Carnegie 

 University Library building.

 Explains the 

 Advantages of 

 Nearby Deliver- 

 ies being made 

 our 32-ton 



V^B actually don't make a red 

 cent out of our motor truck, de- 

 liyering materials to our customers. 

 But it's a great accommodation to 

 them and they save money, even if 

 we don't make any. 



Anywhere within 40 miles of our 

 factory it is generally cheaper de- 

 livery than freight— it's always 

 cheaper when the cost of carting 

 from the station to the grounds is 

 counted in. 



Auto Truck. 



When boilers or sections are 

 wanted quickly it's a godsend to 

 the man whose house is likely to 

 freeze up. 



It's just one more thing you can 

 depend on depending on Hitchings 

 for, and remember we will deliver 

 with it anywhere within 40 miles 

 of our factory. "'We go anywhere 

 for business."
