The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



September 6, 1906. 



COLUMBUS, OHIO. 



The Market. 



There is no question but that trade 

 on the whole has been much better for 

 August than in previous years. Ameri- 

 can Beauties and other roses are just 

 beginning to come good, and it is a 

 welcome relief after the poor stuff we 

 have been handling. Asters, which have 

 been in enormous supply, as well as 

 gladioli, have helped out greatly, espe- 

 cially in funeral work, of which there 

 has been an unusual amount lately. Al- 

 ready our best customers are beginning 

 to return from the summer resorts, and 

 it will not be long now before a brisk 

 autumn business will be in order. 



VaiiotM Notes. 



A committee consisting of M. B. 

 Faxon, chairman; Stephens, Woodrow, 

 McKellar and Knopf, is working bard 

 to bring the fall show into shape. 



The Ohio state fair, which takes place 

 this week, has filled the city with visit- 

 ors. An especially good floral exhibition 

 is being made, as the prizes are liberal. 



E. 6. Hill, of Bichmond, Ind., was in 

 town last week, and reports the out- 

 look good for a brisk fall business. The 

 sales of fancy evergreens have been espe- 

 cially good the last month. 



George F. Groce, the superintendent 

 of Obentangy park, has devoted a great 

 deal of time and labor to his many beds 

 of cannas. His careful selection of the 

 better kinds has resulted in some grand 

 effects. 



Local dealers are preparing for a rush 

 on decorating orders for the occasion of 

 the unveiling of the McKinley memorial, 

 on September 14. There will be many 

 distinguished visitors here at that time, 

 and their entertainment will make things 

 busy for the florists. 



Arthur Zirkman, of M. Bice & Co., 

 stopped here on his way from Dayton 

 to Philadelphia. 



Joseph H. Cunningham, of Delaware, 

 O., was in the city this week, and re- 

 ports orders for pansy seed and plants 

 coming in rapidly Zero. 



Salt Lake City, Utah. — The B. C. 

 Morris Floral Co. reports that business 

 has held up well during the usually dull 

 summer period.

ARAUCA.RIA8, the best decorative plants 

 Nature produces, our specialty. 



Every man in buBlnesB and life, to be success- 

 ful, must adopt one thins as his specialty and 

 that specialty, of whatever nature It may be, he 

 must guard, study and push to such an extent 

 that It not only benetlts himself but he must con- 

 tinue it so every one who seeks his aid, services 

 or his article, which he advertises or practices, 

 will share a slice of his activity and prosperity. 

 I made the Importation and cultivation of arau- 

 carias a special study in my life. The figures 

 below will show my success in buslneHS from 

 the first year: by commencing- witn an importa- 

 tion of 260 and now, the eleventh year , my impor- 

 tation has grown up to 6,000 (come and see it), 

 the reason beinir that the araucarla grows yearly 

 more in favor with the plant consuming people all 

 over the country, as a most admired decorative 

 plant for the parlor, bed-room, dining and sitting- 

 rooms, stores and hotels, lawns and porches. 

 The outlook will be of an importation of at least 

 8,000 to 10,000 in spring of 1907. To secure this vast 

 amount for 1907, 1 left Hoboken Aug. 15, striking 

 for Belgium, to make contracts for next year. 

 I shall also bring over with me at the same time 

 alaige lot of choice Azalea Indlca and Palms, 

 etc.. for Christmas and Easier forcing. No 

 money will be spared to secure for niy customers 

 the cream of the Belgium greenhouses only.
