The Flcaists^ Review 



February 4, 1915. 



who have no glass that they are unable 

 to buy high-grade potted plants, as the 

 Wholesale growers were cleaned out by 

 the holiday demand and did not prepare 

 ior a continuous supply of the better 

 grades. There is a great abundance, 

 perhaps too great, of small, low-priced 

 potted stock. The season for cycla- 

 mens is past its prime, though some 

 splendid plants are still shown. The 

 demand for cinerarias is not brisk, 

 though some attractive specimens are 

 to be seen everywhere. Decorative and 

 foliage plants have a fair sale. 



Various Notes. 



Walch Bros., pioneer growers, have 

 retired from active business and have 

 leased their range of glass near Fulton 

 to Frank Koch, who will grow a variety 

 of stock for his father 's store at Second 

 and Alder streets. 



Clarke Bros, have had the earliest 

 supply of Golden Spur daffodils. They 

 were grown from bulbs which came 

 from the Isle of Guernsey and are some- 

 what earlier than the Holland variety. 



The Maftii & Forbes Co. is showing 



some Itfcai-grown Czar violets, which 



, find a ready sale on account of their 



fragrance and good keeping qualities. 



Otto Lemke is building an addition, 

 covering about 600 square feet, to his 

 range at Lents. The addition will be 

 used as a propagating house. He grows 

 carnations and greens principally, with 

 enough pot plants and other stock to 

 fill local retail orders. He wholesales 

 his main cut, which is considered of 

 excellent quality. 



The first Dutch hyacinths have ap- 

 peared. They were forced by William 

 Hoffman. 



Bahn & Herbert Co. is cutting some 

 good Killarney and White Killarney 

 roses. 



August Zitzewitz has reset the most 

 of the piping and put in raised benches 

 in the W. T. Wood range of glass at 

 Lents. He is growing mostly carna- 

 tions and greens, with a few odd 

 benches of other stock, such as snap- 

 dragons, Adiantum Croweanum, mi- 

 gnonette, double alysBum and a little 

 bedding stock. His mignonette is from 

 seed grown by the Martin & Forbes 

 Co., of a variety improved from the 

 original John May stock. Mr. Zitze- 

 witz is a successful grower and, al- 

 though he is somewhat handicapped by 

 lack of boiler capacity, his benches look 

 well. S. W. W. 



CATERING TO THE COUNTRY.

 receiving today, when we did not do 

 business on such an elaborate scale. The 

 expenses were light and the profits pro- 

 portionately larger. Today everything 

 we have to buy pertaining to our busi- 

 ness has increased in value; wages 

 have practically doubled, and coal has 

 risen in about the same proportion. 

 The only solution to the problem is 

 to do a larger volume of business. But 

 why give all your profits away? Ours 

 is a legitimate business, and we should 

 have value received. If we florists 

 would get right down to figures and 

 find out what it costs to do business, 

 what returns we should receive per 

 square foot of glass on our investment 

 and what our returns actually are, we 

 should know whether our business is 

 bringing the returns we are entitled 

 to, or whether the same money would 

 do better for us out at interest. When 

 a man knows where he is at, he will
