The Florists' Review 



Max 20. 1915. 



YORK, PA. 



The Market. 



Life is not easy for the florist when 

 the thrifty farmers bring to the market 

 bunches of outdoor valley the size of 

 a bride's bouquet and sell them for 5 

 cents each, and offer flat bouquets of 

 hardy outdoor flowers at 10 cents. The 

 florists, however, are making good use 

 of the daily newspapers to bring the 

 attention of the public to first-class 

 stock. 



Competition is strong in bedding 

 stock, and some 4-inch geraniums are 

 being sold at 75 cents per dozen. White 

 verbenas and geraniums were sold to a 

 considerable extent for Mothers' day 

 after the cut stock had been cleaned up 

 early on the day before. 



Vaxious Notes. 



H. S. Brandt has opened a store at 

 238 South George street. He is mak- 

 ing use of his windows for effective 

 displays. A wax figure representing 

 mother and gifts for her of flowers and 

 plants made up the Mothers' day win- 

 dow. Now various kinds of bedding 

 stock are being used to form a garden 

 in the window, the display being 

 changed every few days. Everything is 

 ready at the greenhouses for a busy 

 season in this line and sales are al- 

 ready brisk. 



W. S. Yingling is cutting some fine 

 Easter lilies. 



Chas. E. Smith is making prepara- 

 tions to move into a better store, on 

 East Market 'street. 



John Dauber is increasingly busy at 

 his greenhouses in North York as the 

 bedding plant season advances. 



Business is keeping August Schaefer 

 on the move, and, vice versa, Mr. 

 Schaefer sees to it that business keeps 

 on the move. 



Mr. and Mrs. John Lockard have 

 joined the force of H. S. Brandt, the 

 former at the greenhouses and the lat- 

 ter at the store. J. L. L. 



Beading, Pa. — The Reading Florists'

YOUR 8REENH0U8E 

 SHOULD BE PRACTICAL 

 AS WELL AS ATTRACTIVE 



Every Jftcobs Greenhouse is specially 

 designed and constructed to fit indi- 

 vidual renuirements. 

 While their practicability and dura- 

 bility are always uppermost, we never 

 lose sight of the artistic. 

 That is why the Jacobs Greenhouses 

 have met with such great favor. 



We will call anywhere to submit 

 plans and prices.
