The Florists' Review 



July 1, 1915. 



ST. PAUL, MINN. 



The Market. 



Conditions continue quiet, with an 

 oooasional spurt of business. Stock of 

 all kinds is arriving in the best of 

 condition. Peonies are in their prime. 

 Of sweet peas, only the earlier varieties 

 are blooming. Campanulas, delphin- 

 iums and Pyrethrum foseum are ready 

 sellers. 



Various Notes. 



The opening of the Merchants Na- 

 tional bank in its new building, at 

 Fourth and Robert streets, called for 

 a great many Beauties; perhaps sev- 

 eral thousand were sent by well wish- 

 ing friends. 



The St. Paul Floral Co. has again 

 changed hands. Chris. Hansen sold the 

 property and greenhouses .to J. Chris- 

 tensen. ' Mr. Christensen recently sold 

 his Randolph street place, and has 

 taken charge of his newly acquired 

 houses. This is one of the largest 

 places in the city, and has always been 

 successful. 



E. P. Holm, N. C. Hanson and A. 

 Lauritzen returned from a fishing trip 

 among some of the northern Wisconsin 

 lakes. They were well supplied with 

 black bass. 



Holm & Olson have a summer win- 

 dow display that is attracting consid- 

 erable attention; a rustic effect is pro- 

 duced with running water, a millwheel, 

 etc. 



A. Currie, of Milwaukee, was a visi- 

 tor last week. C. R. F. 



KENILWORTH, N. J. 



G. E. Fink reports a fine spring busi- 

 ness in bedding and vegetable plants, 

 jtractically the entire stock being sold 

 out. The benching of carnations and 

 other plants for the fall trade will be- 

 gin soon. Mr. Fink is supplying some 

 fine roses to the New York market. 



Charles Frost, grower of the Kenil- 

 worth strain of giant pansy seed, is 

 now gathering the seed, keeping several 

 men constantly engaged in the work. 

 He has many orders that are waiting 

 for the gathering of the crop. 



Fred Frost is supplying the New 

 York market with cut flowers of va- 

 rious kinds. He will soon plant for 

 the fall trade. R. B. M.

You can Teach a Parrot 

 to say '^Just as Good/' 

 but-he won't know what 

 he's talking about. 



YESTERDAY, when I was 

 riding down in the streetcar, 

 these words in an advert' se- 

 ment caught my eye. 



At once it popped into my mind 

 that they exactly fitted some men 

 who always buy on price alone; 

 and are always telling you that 

 what they buy is "just as good." 



But you and I know different. 



Take the question of commercial 

 houses, for example. It's a well 

 understood fact that the leading 

 greenhouse manufacturers make 

 mighty little on such building. 



The margin of profit is so small, 

 in fact, that if one of our competi- 

 tors quotes you a much lower price, 

 it's pretty safe to infer that the 

 corners are going to be cut some- 

 where. 



When a man claims that such a 

 house is "just as good," won't it, 

 after this, make you think of the 

 parrot? 



Sit down a minute while 1 tell 

 you a secret. 



We do not claim to make a house 

 "just as good" as anybody's. 



But we do build a house that no- 

 body has yet built "as good." That 

 house is our Reconstructed Con- 

 struction. If you want us to prove 

 to you its superior goodness— we 

 are prepared to do exactly that 

 thing. We are looking for just 

 such a chance. 



Shall we come and see you: or 

 would you prefer to come and see 

 us? 



You know "we go anywhere for 

 business." 



Pecky Cypress 



"VVT^E are prepared to supply our customers with 

 Pecky Cypress material for benches, cut to fit so 

 that it can be quickly erected, or can furnish the lum- 

 ber just as it comes from the mills.
