The Rorists' Review 



AvwBt 5> 1915., 



MILWAnKEE. 



The Market. 



Business during the last week has 

 been good for this time of year. The 

 Eastland disaster created an unusually 

 heavy demand for all kinds of flowers; 

 much stock was shipped to Chicago, and 

 the market here was cleaned up well. 

 There has been an exceptionally large 

 quantity of funeral work lately, dis- 

 posing of stock that would otherwise 

 have been moved with difficulty. The 

 market last week was the strongest 

 that it has been for some time, and 

 the week shows some fine sales. 



There are some fine roses on the mar- 

 ket just now. Prices are rather low, 

 but the supply is moving all the time. 

 Carnations are plentiful again, but the 

 quality shows clearly that they are on 

 the decline. Sweet peas are plentiful, 

 but, of course, are outdoor stock and 

 do not hold up at all well for ship- 

 ping. Eubrums and valley are plenti- 

 ful. Asters are in and look well. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Bertrand H. Farr, wife of the 

 peony specialist of Wyomissing, Pa., is 

 the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Holton 

 this week. Mrs. Farr, on leaving Mil- 

 waukee, will go up to northern Wis- 

 consin for a stay with friends there. 



Edward Stewart opened his retail 

 store at 661 Third street, Saturday, 

 July 31. Mr. Stewart formerly had 

 the same location, but gave it up some 

 time ago, when he took hold of several 

 greenhouses at 838 Thirty-first street. 

 He will operate both places in the fu- 

 ture and is looking forward to a busy 

 winter season. 



J. DilloflF, with Sehloss Bros., New 

 York, stopped in Milwaukee Saturday, 

 July 31, and Sunday, August 1. He 

 was on his way east, having just come 

 from St. Paul, with Chicago his next 

 stop. 



W. C. Zimmermann, 430 Grand ave- 

 nue, left Saturday, July 31, for the 

 west. He expects to attend the S. A. F. 

 convention, and will be away until 

 about August 25. H. J. 8. 



Gordon, Wis. — Mrs. L. E. Meyer re- 

 ports an exceptional quality of ferns, 

 water lilies and greens. Arbutus, she 

 says, suffered severely from the late 

 frosts, and is scarce.

WHAT THRIP JUICE No. 2 WILL DO 



OHBYSANTHEMUMS ON LONG ISLAND. 



Mr. Benjamin Hammond, Beacon, N. Y. Woodside, L. L, N. Y., Oct. 20, 1913. 



Bear Sir: I find your Tbrip Juice No. 2 a good thing to use on Chrysanthe- 

 mums. Kindly send bill for the last gallon shipped, and oblige. 



Yours respectfully. (Signed) VICTOR S. DOEVAL SONS. 



THBIFS ON OABNATIONS. 



Ed. American Florist: 



Please advise how to remedy tlie trouble affecting Carnation buds mailed 

 under separate cover. Kansas. F. W. F. 



The Carnation buds are badly infested with Thrips. Upon opening up two 

 or three of the buds we found them alive with these pests. Thrips are one of the 

 worst enemies that Carnation growers have to deal with, and the only way to 

 fight them successfully is to get after them by spraying the plants regularly 

 with the Nicotine preparations as soon as they are planted into the houses from 

 the field and keep at it continually until weather conditions will allow for fumi- 

 gation. For stubborn cases we spray with HAMMOND'S THSIF JUICE No. 2, 

 applied as per directions on the cans. This is an oily substance and will cause 

 the foliage of the plants to look a lighter green, but we have never found it to 

 harm the foliage at all. C. W. JOHNSON. 



THBIP JXnCE NO. 2 ON BOSES. 



Hopeland Estate, Staatsburg, N. Y., Dec. 20, 1913. 

 Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot Works, Beac on, N . Y. 



Dear Sirs: I have used your THRIP JUICE No. 2 on outdoor Eoses, also 

 Eoses indoors, as well as Bay Trees and other hard-wooded stock, and can say it 

 is a most efficient remedy for Scale, Mealy Bug and Thrips. Very truly yours, 



(Signed) CHAS. HARMAN, Supt. 



Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 7, 1914. 



CoL Wm. Sharp, for more t han twenty-five years grower for Samuel Murray, 

 says: "I have found THBIP JUICE No. 2 very effective for White Scale on 

 Cattleyas and variegated Pineapples, Brown Scale on Ficus and Palms. 



While several applications may be necessary, it is cheaper in the end than 

 Nicotine and far more effective. 



Our farmer finds it a cure for the Curculio on Plums. Send along five gal- 

 lons as before." W. M. 



Springfield, Ohio, Feb. 17, 1915. 



Schmidt & Botley Co. endorse THBIP JUICE No. 2 for killing the White Fly. 

 They believe in prevention, and took step s at onc e to destroy it. 



Oustav Schneider says he uses THBIP JUICE No. 2 regularly, more as a 

 preventive, and never had a finer lot of Chrysanthemums than last season. At one 

 time the plants were affected with rust, but one or two sprayings brought them 

 around. 



Charlotte, N. C, Nov. 14, 1914. 

 Eobert Lockerbie, many years with the Eobt. Craig Co., and now grower for 

 the Charlotte Cut Flower Co., says he has used all m^es of Insecticides and is 

 now using THBIP JUICE No. 2 for Thrips on Chrysanthemums and Carnations. 

 The dilution of one to forty is proper. Sprayed on cloudy days, every week or ten 

 days, left on foliage for 48 hours, it never fails to kill the insect and the slight 

 discoloration on foliage is offset by its usefulness. W. M.
