The Florists' Review 



Adoust 12, 1915. 



PEOVIDENPE, R. I. 



The Maxket. 



After the wettest July on record, Au- 

 gust started in with downpours that 

 have beaten down, damaged and de- 

 stroy;!^ all kinds o£. growing stock. 

 Several growers report fields of asters 

 ruined, with losses mounting into the 

 hundreds. Hundreds of acres of corn, 

 beans and other ci^o^s have been de- 

 stroyed. 



Business has been far below the nor- 

 mal, even for this dull seison - of the 

 year. Funeral orders are -the .only ac- 

 tivities that give the retailers -«^y ex- 

 cuse for keeping open 8h<)p. Gladioli 

 -this year " are 'one bl ' "the leaders, 

 vying with asters in demand. The 

 •wonderful development of gladiolus 

 spikes during the last two or three 

 seasons has won a large public appre- 

 ciation.

FERNS 



Improved Whitmani and Whitinani Compacta, 



$5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000

 The Improved Whitmani is a more graceful 

 and a little lighter frond. It is more compact, 

 truer to the type and shows very little revert- 

 ing. This variety is a great improvement over 

 the old Whitmani.
