The Florists' Review 



Auauss 11^, 1916. 



■tiy 



Ever notice how much truth is often squeez^ into a brief sentence? 



Note this one— *'The rat which has biit one hole is soon caught." 



Liltewise the Snapdragon which has but one virtue is soon done. A glance 

 at the record of recent years will show aomp "C^.^^^ "great ones" on the bargain counter, 

 others sinking into oblivion, and some cleat off the fie d, while our Silver Pink SBKD« 

 LINGS grow in favor each day, with sales double those of a year ago." A multiple of good 

 points is the reason. Beauty of color and hal>it of growth, combining wonderful produc- 

 tiveness, have made our Silver Pink Seedlings famous. Seedling -napdragons have such 

 advantage over outtings as to make cuttings a waste of time. Se<>dlings make better 

 plants in less time, are practically disease-proof, and will flower, and flower, and flower, 

 while plants from cuttings are done at one small crop. 



A. H. Faxon. Southbridge, Mass.. when sending a repeat order for plants, says: "I 

 like your S. P. Snapdragons very much. What you say about seedlings is true." 



At present we have only seeds and seedlings to offer. New crop seed of our original 

 Silver Fink Snapdragon. 11.00 per pkt.: 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Seed Of Nelrose, White, 

 Yellow, Garnet and Mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1X0. 



Fancy seedling plants of Silver Pink. $4.00 per IQO; *36.00 per lOOO.- Of Garnet, White 

 and Mixed, same price. Of Nelrose and Yellow, $5.00 per 100.

BEACON, N. Y. 



Business last week was as dull as 

 the weather was bad. It rained nearly 

 every day. There were no outdoor 

 flowers to speak of, and all the florists 

 were dependent upon roses, gladioli and 

 snapdragons. 



George W. Eussell's carnation plants 

 are looking well. He has everything 

 in readiness for planting, which will 

 be done as soon as the weather becomes 

 dry enough. 



At the Spy Hill Conservatories busi- 

 ness is exceedingly quiet. 



Benjamin Hammond has gone on a 

 three weeks' trip to California. He 

 will visit the exposition and attend the 

 B. A. F. convention. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Business was quiet last week. There 

 was plenty of good stock to be had, 

 but the demand was not large enough 

 to utilize the supply. 



Some fine late asters are being re- 

 ceived. Several growers are complain- 

 ing that the overabundance of rain will 

 not permit them to cut the blooms. 

 Gladioli and Easter lilies are plentiful. 

 The rose cut is not so heavy as it was, 

 but it is sufficiently large to satisfy 

 all "present needs. Good rubrum and al- 

 bum lilies can be had now. The first 

 carnations from the young stock ar- 

 rived last week and they experienced 

 a good market. The supply of greens 

 is ample for all immediate require- 

 ments. 



Various Notes. 



Several florists have received cards, 

 mailed at Omaha, from Miss Ada 

 Kresken and Lawrence Kresken, who 

 are on a trip to the Pacific coast. 



C. E. Critchell received his first cut 

 of carnations from the young plants 

 last week. As the demand for blooms 

 was good, the lot was quickly sold. 



The John C. Moninger Co. has started 

 rebuilding the greenhouses of Edward 

 Freis and Henry Gockel, at Newport,
