The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBBB 21, 1916. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



The weather last week was extreme- 

 ly cloudy and flowers consequently 

 were scarce. Carnations have sold as 

 high as $5 per hundred. Mums were 

 scarce the first part of last week, but 

 with sunshine they became plentiful. 

 Boses have been of poor quality and 

 scarce. Funeral work has been heavy 

 and has kept flowers well cleaned up. 



Various Notes. 



Joseph V. Pierce, 49 Cottage street, 

 has taken a business partner, Edward 

 Pierce. The new concern is known as 

 Joseph V. Pierce & Co. Many improve- 

 ments are being made at the office and 

 the greenhouses. 



A new 6-ton boiler is being installed 

 at the range of Bichard Noflftz. 



Julius the Florist reports business as 

 being good. The call for bulbs has 

 been exceptionally brisk. 



Some 01 the best early mums in the 

 city are the Polly Bose, at the green- 

 houses of S. E. Shaw. 



Post & Gray have some fine early 

 mums in all the popular varieties, such 

 as Unaka, Golden Glow, Early Snow 

 and Halliday. 



H. A. Jahn, of Brock avenue, is mak- 

 ing extensive repairs at his green- 

 houses. W. M. P. 



AMHEBST, MASS. 



The department of floriculture at 

 the Massachusetts Agp-icultural College 

 is making plans for its annual fall 

 flower show, to be held November 8 and 

 9. The entire flrst floor of the building, 

 about 5,200 square feet, will be used. 

 There will be exhibits of interest to 

 the florist and gardener as well as to 

 the general public. For the students 

 in floriculture, there will be competi- 

 tions in floral arrangement. The com- 

 petition in table decorations will be 

 limited to the junior class, with four- 

 teen entries. The seniors will have a 

 competition in basket arrangement, 

 with ten entries. In addition to these 

 competitions, there will be vase, plant 

 basket and box arrangements, bouquets 

 and corsages. There will be exhibits 

 of pottery, baskets and various other 

 t}rpes of containers, to|^ether with other 

 accessories of the florist. 



The Northampton and Holyoke Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club is to co- 

 operate with the M. A. C. Florists' and 

 Gardeners' Club for a joint meeting 

 one evening of the show, at which time 

 some outside speaker will talk upon 

 floral arrangements and exhibits.

NOT ASSEMBLERS 

 BUT MANUFACTURERS 



THERE are a lot of greenhouse, 

 as well as automobile build- 

 ers, who are assemblers. 

 They do not make their parts; they 

 buy them here, there and every- 

 where; and put them together. 



We are not assemblers; we are 

 manuf actarers . 



With but a few minor exceptions, 

 we make ererytbing we sell. Con- 

 sequently, it is made particularly 

 for the particular purpose for which 

 it is to be used. 



Take for example our boilers; we 

 don't buy them, we make them. 

 We make them so they will be, 

 pade the way a greenhouse boiler 

 should be made. They are not the 

 regular house heating boilers bought

of some outside firm who cast our 

 name on the door. 



It's the same even with a some- 

 what minor thing like our Tell Tale 

 Ventilating Apparatus. 



We don't buy it of some recording 

 machine company. It is made 

 right in our own factory. A glance 

 at the pointer will tell exactly how 

 wide the ridge sash is opened. 



And so we could go right through 

 our house, and show you how prac- 

 tically everything in the construc- 

 tion and equipping of our houses is 

 made by us, for our house. 



That's one of the big reasons why 

 you can depend on depending on 

 Hitchings. And, remember, that 

 we go anywhere for business, or to 

 talk business.
