The Florists' Review 



OCXOBEB 28, 1015. 



GRAND BAPIDS, MICH. 



The Market. 



The somewhat earlier arrival of a 

 killing frost this year has helped to 

 make October sales run heavier than 

 those for the same month of a num- 

 ber of years. Business, locally, in all 

 lines, seems to be on the upgrade. The 

 florists anticipate a good year. 



The frost created a lively demand for 

 outdoor flowers. This activity and the 

 large amount of funeral work has made 

 October a banner month. 



There is a large supply of fine mums 

 and just about enough carnations and 

 roses are cut to go the rounds. Lilies 

 are scarce. Some fine violets are com- 

 ing in from both field and bench, but 

 in another week all will be under glass. 

 A recent cloudy spell brought mildew 

 to some of the roses, but with the re- 

 turn of sunshine the mildew is being 

 cleared out. 



The Holland bulbs are on display in 

 all the department stores, but the stores 

 are not having it all their own way 

 this year, for some of the florists are 

 meeting the competition with low prices 

 and lots of printers' ink. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Smith reports October busi- 

 ness as being good and says he expects 

 to attend the Cleveland show. 



The Eli Cross store force has been 

 busy with several large funeral orders. 



Fine orchids are being shown by the 

 Alfred Hannah Floral Co. 



James Schols is picking some extra 

 fine violets. His violets are not all 

 benched, but will be next week.

NEW BEDFOBD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Business was livelier last week. 

 There are plenty of chrysanthemums 

 and a good demand for them. Carna- 

 tions are better than they have been 

 and are selling well. Several large 

 weddings during the week stimulated 

 trade to a great extent. 



Various Notes. 



At a meeting of the executive and 

 entertainment committees of the New 

 Bedford Horticultural Society, held re- 

 cently at the home of Frank H. Tripp, 

 it was decided to hold the annual chrys- 

 anthemum show November 9 and 10. 

 An additional silver cup was oflfered 

 hj Mr. Benson, of Boston, for the best 

 six vases, three blooms to a vase, of 

 six distinct varieties. 



James Gaethley, of Fairhaven, lias 

 finished moving his range knd reports 

 business as rapidly improving. 



An excellent week of business is re- 

 ported by Julius the Florist, proprie- 

 tor of the Flower Mart. 



William Pierce is to be complimented 

 on the window displays he has made 

 recently. He is at some disadvantage, 

 having a rather small window, but the 

 taste used is excellent. 



Post & Gray report their usual call 

 for palms and ferns. They are cutting 

 some excellent mums, which find a 

 ready market. 



Among the local florists who will ex- 

 hibit at the coming mum show are Peter 

 Murray, the Peckham Floral Co. and 

 James Gaethley, all of Fairhaven, and 

 S. E. Shaw and Post & Gray, of this 

 fit J. ,' . 'fv'J'. W. M. P,^, 



PLANT TUBS 



EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR 



raVERYBODY agrees that Plant Tubs made of 

 19 everlastincr Virg^inia White Cedar will 

 best resist rot or decay. The "Keystone" bra^d 

 of White Cedar Plant Tabs are made of this cele- 

 brated wood, and these goods are painted inside 

 and out with b0st oil paints, a rich green. 



They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large 

 size, and electric-welded wire hoops (galvanized) 

 on the small size. The large sizes are trimmed 

 with handsome drop handles and metal feet, and 

 have perforated, removable bottoms. 



These Cedar Tubs are made in all* sizes, from 24^ 

 inches top diameter down to 6 inches, amply large 

 for a Bay Tree and small enough for a Hyacinth. 

 Every one guaranteed. Booklet in colors, with 

 prices, famished upon request.
