The Weekly Florists' Review* 



XOVETMBER 8, 1906. 



RUTHERFORD, N. J. 



Within easy reach of, yet suflSciently 

 distant from the busy metropolis, is the 

 establishment of Bobbink & Atkins, a 

 young and progressive firm which is 

 making its mark both in growing and 

 landscape work. 



Large blocks of decorative stock are 

 grown for New York stores and shipping 

 trade. A shipment of bay trees, both 

 standard and pyramid, was being loaded 

 for the Pacific coast at the time of my 

 visit. The herbaceous department has 

 assumed large proportions, the call for 

 novelties of recent introduction taxing 

 the supply. Take Gerbera Jamesoni as 

 an example, of which thousands have 

 been sold. Florists are beginning to 

 realize the value of this flower, as it can 

 easily be planted with carnations and is 

 a continuous bloomer, very attractive and 

 lasting in flower. Undoubtedly this is 

 to be a profitable branch of the busi- 

 ness, for the craft is rising to the fact 

 that by carrying a line of hardy stock 

 it not only stimulates the demand but 

 adds to one's bank account. 



To attempt to describe in detail the 

 fine assortment of evergreen and other 

 hardy stock growing upon the 100 acres 

 of well tilled land would take up more 

 space than can be afforded in a trade 

 paper. Certain it is that few realize the 

 tremendous bounds by which this branch 

 of horticulture has advanced in recent 

 years. Walking through line after line 

 of shade trees, with straight stems and 

 perfect heads, specimens marked here 

 and there for removal to help adorn 

 some mansion of the wealthy, suddenly 

 we come upon a field of phloxes which, 

 when in bloom, must have been a gor- 

 geous sight. Hardy and Indian azaleas 

 by the ten thousand, for present and fu- 

 ture sales, fill two large storage houses 

 and await the completion of another 

 265 feet in length. Roses for forcing 

 are grown in large numbers. Both the 

 Baby and Crimson Bambler will un- 

 doubtedly be in big demand this sea- 

 son. The English ivy, both the large 

 and small-leaved kinds, are grown in 

 large quantities for decorative trade. 

 The bulb department is being rushed 

 with orders. W. M.

D. U. Augspurger & Sons 



Box 778, PEORIA, ILL. 



Last Winter a local grower visited our place for the purpose of buying a stock of 

 some good crimson carnation. We showed him a good bed of Harlowarden 

 and took his order for a quantity. A few minutes later we showed him 



POCAHONTAS 



whereupon he decided that he did not want Harlowarden, but would wait a 

 year and get Pocahontas. Now that's the kind of argument that talks. You 

 would do the same as he did, that's why we want you to come and see 

 it growing. Will promise to show it to you just as it arrows. No dressing-up 

 for company every morning} Pocahontas does not need it.
