The Florists' Review 



F^BRDABY 11, 1915. 



QUALITY AND STYLE 



IN 



FLOWER BOXES 



AT NO GREATER COST 



Quality of material used in addition to the practical and hand- 

 some non-fading shades in which the boards are finished, bring 

 style and distinctiveness to the package.

 and samples.

of roses and carnations, as they are the 

 principal beneficiaries. 



Winterson's Seed Store reports the 

 orders for florists' flower seeds unus- 

 ually numerous this season. 



Erne & Klingel predict smilax will 

 be an especially good seller as the 

 spring openings come along. 



Oscar Metz, 5525 Harper avenue, re- 

 ports business good, but collections 

 Blow. 



For three years Chicago florists have 

 been using insecticides made by Fred 

 A. Zenke, who now has progressed far 

 enough so that he is undertaking na- 

 tional distribution of his products. 



The retailers' association is working 

 on a plan for cooperative buying that 

 will be the special subject for consid- 

 eration at the next meeting. 



The present proprietor of the Louis 

 Dreher place at Deerfield, 111., is Wm. 

 G. Gaddis, a Chicago lawyer who pur- 

 poses to run the 6,000 feet of glass for 

 a profit. The place was for some time 

 owned by Witthoefft Bros. 



Joe Dunn, an old-timer in the trade, 

 is now with William F. Schofield, 734 

 North State street. 



Among the visitors in the market 

 last week were C. C. Pollworth, Mil- 

 waukee, and J. E. Fotheringham, Tar- 

 rytown, N. Y., the latter on his way to 

 the Pacific coast. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Trade has been rather quiet during 

 the last two weeks, yet considerable 

 business has been done. Transient trade 

 is poor. 



Jonquils, daffodils and tulips are plen- 

 tiful, and there is a vigorous demand 

 for them. Bulbous stock in pots is sell- 

 ing well, and azaleas, cyclamens and 

 primroses come second on the list of 

 desirables. 



The cold, dark weather of last week 

 made roses scarce, and consequently the 

 prices are up just now. My Maryland, 

 Killarney, White Killarney, Taft, Ward 

 and Milady are all good. Cecile Brun- 

 ner is in demand. Orchid sweet peas 

 are extra fine and sell well, having 

 preference over the common sweet peas. 

 Cattleyas are overabundant and are 

 used in general work, for corsages, etc. 

 Carnations seem to sell better than any 

 flowers at this writing; Perfection, En- 

 chantress Supreme, Ward and Beacon 

 all are of good quality. 



Asparagus, leucothoe sprays, hardy 

 ferns and bronze and green galas are 

 all plentiful and good.

Palmer & Son had a bowling match 

 with the greenhouse force from Lan- 

 caster Saturday night, January 30. The 

 greenhouse men were confident they had 

 the best bowlers, but the store team 

 won by a high score. Ed Slattery, of 

 the store force, has a famous ball of 

 his own called the coca-cola ball. Un- 

 fortunately, it did not work well that 

 night and so did not add much to the 

 high score of the store force. 



FROM THE CAMBRIDGE 

 UNIVERSITY PRESS 



THE GENUS IRIS 



BylWILUAN RICKATSON DYKES 



With Forty- eight Colored Plates and 

 Thirty Line Drawings in the Text. 



This magnificent work brings together 

 the available information on all the known 

 species of Iris. The account of each in- 

 cludes references to it in botanical litera- 

 ture and a full description of the plant, 

 together with observations on its pecu- 

 liarities, its position in the genus, its value 

 asa garden plant and its cultivation. 



The most striking feature of the book 

 is the forty-eight life sized colored plates, 

 reproduced from originals drawn from 

 living plants— making it a volume of re- 

 markable beauty as well as of great 

 scientific importance. 



246 pages, demi-folio, half morocco. $37.50; 

 postage extra (weight 11 lbs. 9 oz.) 



The riorists' ReTiew^: If anything else 

 could be added to the book that would really in- 

 crease its beauty or its scientific value or its 

 practical utility, the present reviewer is curious 

 to know what that addition could be.
