The Weekly Florists' Review* 



February 20, 1908. 



TOLEDO, OHIO. 



Current G>mment. 



* ' Business was better on Valentine 's 

 (lay this year than on the same day 

 any former year, as far as I can re- 

 member." This remark was made by 

 Miss Henrietta Suder, and the same 

 opinion is expressed by every local dealer. 



The florists expected a set-back when 

 the rain began to pour early on Val- 

 entine's day, and had visions of thou- 

 sands of flowers left on their hands when 

 the day was over, but the surprise came 

 when nearly every store sold out entirely 

 by nightfall, despite the fact that the 

 rain poured steadily all day. 



The Youngstown Floral Co. disposed of 

 14,000 violets during the day and had 

 a splendid nin on roses and carnations. 

 This company made a specialty of boxes 

 containing a large number of assorted 

 flowers, which were sold at $1 per box. 



Geo. A. Heinl sold every flower in the 

 store before evening, having a great call 

 for violets as well as a fine sale of 

 spring flowers. 



The Schoen Floral Co., O. B. Wisner 

 and others, report a splendid business 

 during the day. 



Joseph H. Sigrist reports an unusually 

 large sale of violets last week. 



George Heinl has returned from Terre 

 Haute, Ind., where he spent three weeks 

 with his brother. Mr. Heinl is greatly 

 improved in health. H. L. S. 



Wilmington, N. C. — At the Academy 

 of Music, where the Knights of Pythias 

 and their invited guests were addressed 

 recently by Supreme Chancellor Barnes, 

 the stage of the hall was decorated for 

 the occasion by Wm. Kehder. 



Negaunee, Mich. — The Negaunee 

 Nursery & Greenhouses, established in 

 1895 by the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Co., 

 have developed rapidly during the last 

 few years and now ship considerable 

 nursery stock to distant points. The 

 nursery is said to be the only one in the 

 upper peninsula. 



Oakland, Md. — The H. Weber & Sons 

 Co. is growing seedling carnations so ex- 

 tensively that few standard sorts are to 

 be found on the place. Toreador is on 

 trial at a number of widely separated 

 localities and its introduction will depend 

 on results, although the Weber Co. will 

 in any event grow it largely for cut flow- 

 ers next season. 



MoLiNE, III.— The Tri-City Florists' 

 Association held its regular monthly 

 meeting February 13 at the residence of 

 Julius Staack. The subject, "Propaga- 

 tion of Easter Stock," was discussed, 

 Henry Gaethje and Henry Myers taking 

 part. There was a good attendance. The 

 Aprjl meeting will be held at the home of 

 H. M. Bills, of the Bills Floral Co., 

 Davenport.
