The Florists' Review 



NOVKMBER 12, 1914. 



DES MOINES, lA. 



The Market. 



A heavy frost last week blackened 

 all outside vegetation and put an end 

 to stock from outdoors. The mild 

 weather has returned, however, and is 

 making the chrysanthemum crop come 

 on faster than expected. The chrysan- 

 themums in the vicinity of Des Moines 

 are much better in quality than they 

 have been for a considerable time. 



Varioiis Notes. 



^ A recent visit to the J. S. Wilson 

 Floral Co. found everything in good 

 shape. The carnations are in splendid 

 shape. Mr. Broad, who comes from 

 Newcastle, Ind., has charge of them, 

 and his stock promises a bumper crop. 

 He says that stem-rot is exceedingly 

 troublesome. The firm's ferns are in 

 good shape, including Scottii, Whitmani 

 and Bostons. A welcome addition to 

 the pot plants is that wonderful, free- 

 blooming begonia, Perle de Chatelaine, 

 which has won considerable praise. Cy- 

 clamens and Lorraine begonias are look- 

 ing quite promising for the Christmas 

 trade. 



The Alpha Floral Co. has been ex- 

 hibiting a splendid lot of chrysanthe- 

 mums, including Chrysolora, Col. Apple- 

 ton and Chieftain; the last-named is 

 making its first appearance in Des 

 Moines. This company is also showing 

 some good ferns, vallev, roses and 

 cyclamens. 



Wik^ Trillow has been cutting some 

 excellent chrysanthemums, including 

 some good pompons and singles. In 

 fact, the chrysanthemums grown in Des 

 Moines are making a better showing 

 this year than for some time previously. 



C. W. Davison has concluded the 

 business arrangements which detained 

 him, and has returned to Denver, to 

 further advance his new venture, the 

 Davison-Western Floral Co. 



Prank Stevens, who has charge of 

 the retail department of the Iowa Seed 

 Co. greenhouses, is cutting some excel- 

 lent Col. Appleton chrysanthemums, 

 some of the blooms reaching twenty-two 

 inches in circumference. This company 

 has also been cutting some excellent 

 Robt. Halliday, Early Snow, Ivory and 

 Pink Ivory. Pot mums are in good 

 shape, too. Virgil Harding, for eight 

 years in the employ of this firm, has 

 left to take a position as traveling 

 salesman for a stock feed company. 

 Carl Olsen, one of the vegetable 

 growers, has also left. W. D.
