The Plorists' Review 



Sbptkmbeb 23, 1016. 



Arthur Zirkman has returned from a 

 most successful trip to the Pacific coast. 



August Albert is reported to have 

 returned to his place on Woodland ave- 

 nue, West Philadelphia. 



Eobert Q. Shoch is back from central 

 Pennsylvainia in fine spirits. Mr. Shoch 

 believes in encouraging, not discourag- 

 ing, those whom he meets. 



Among the fine dahlias seen at the 

 store of Berger Bros, are Geisha Girl, 

 Bertha vorn 3uttner, McCullough, Jack 

 Rose, Delice, Princess Juliana, Caesar 

 and Sylvia. 



Albert Saxton, formerly with Charles 

 F. Krueg^r, has leased the store of 

 Watson & Taylor, on Frankf ord avenue. 



H. Bayersdorfer smilingly comments 

 on the large number of southern orders 

 brought in by Sydney H. Bayersdorfer. 



William J. Young, Jr., makes daily 

 trips in his car from his farm at [Lep- 

 field to hi$ store in Germantpwn, with 

 large boxes of fine dahlias. Delice and 

 Sylvia are in specially good form with 

 him. 



B. Eschner visited Ocean Point, a 

 coast resort near Los Angeles, and 

 there distinguished himself in a contest 

 for a prize, winning it at first attempt, 

 to the astonishment of a friend, who 

 had tried no less than thirty-nine times 

 "without success. The prize was a large 

 papier-mache doll in brief attire. Mr. 

 Eschner at once clothed it properly. 



George E. Campbell has acquired 

 health and pleasure from his new car, 

 bringing sunshine to his friends in dis-. 

 tant spots by dropping in on them 

 occasionally. 



Clarence W. Moore reports activity 

 in ^ French bulbs. Romans, Paper 

 Whites, Lilium candidum and French 

 trumpets all feel the influence of a 

 quickened demand. 



The Leo Niessen Co. has issued an 

 attractive dahlia circular, showing lead- 

 ing varieties and suggesting ways to 

 make dahlias profitable to retailers. 



J. Otto Thilow, secretary of Henry 

 A. Dreer, Inc., has a new car. Phil, 



KANSAS CITT. 



Tbe Market. 



Business was good last week. All 

 cut flowers were cleaned up as fast as 

 they arrived at the wholesale houses. 

 Even pot plants and fancy baskets had 

 .1 good run, and decorations have start- 

 ed up almost at full pace, although fu- 

 neral work is the leader. The rose sup- 

 ply was the same as it was last week, 

 but the demand was heavier. Carna- 

 tions are of better quality, with an in- 

 creasing supply. Asters are falling off 

 fast; the heavy rains have ruined them. 

 Gladioli will last about one week 

 longer. Dahlias are fine and plentiful, 

 but there is only a light call for them. 



Various Notes. 



August Luther, Jr., has a baby boy, 

 which arrived August 31. He reports 

 business good for the whole summer. 

 He was much surprised at the number 

 of pot plants he sold. 



J. B. Masson reports business the 

 best he has ever had. His greenhouses 

 are all in good condition. He grows 

 mostly carnations, roses and mums. 

 He has a bench of Kaiserin roses that 

 are exceptionally fine. 



The Alpha, Floral Go. states that the 

 heavy rains " .throughout the country 

 have been a heavy detriment to his 

 shipping business in the last two weeks. 



It helps every florist some; 

 but it helps the National 

 Florists most 



NONE of us can do much alone. 

 The big things in any busi- 

 ness are accomplished by getting 

 others to do the things we can't do. 



The still bigger things are accom- 

 plished by organizing business; so 

 still bigger things can. be done. 



That is exactly what the National 

 Florist movement is. 



It's an organizing of the florists of 

 the country to broaden business. It's 

 an organized, systematized movement 

 to increase the use of flowers. 



It is a movement to develop that 

 tremendous opportunity — flowers 

 by mail. 



It will help every florist whether 

 he is a member or not; but it will 

 help the members most. 



Are you, or are you not, going to 

 be among the first to get aboard? 

 Are you going to be the National 

 Florist In your town, or is your 

 competitor?
