The Weekly Florists' Review. 



March 19, 1908. 



CEMENT BENCH CONSTRICTION 



is the coming method of building benches in greenhouses — because of cheapness of 

 construction and lasting qualities. Every practical grower should investigate the 

 special merits of the 



Wittbold Cement Bench 



We will gladly answer any questions and supply full information on request. 



Handsome illustrated booklet, containing valuable facts on cement bench construc- 

 tion and much other matter of importance to every greenhouse owner, mailed free on 

 application. 



E. H. HUNT, Sales Agent, 76=78 Wabash Ave., CHICAGO

CLEVELAND. 



The Market 



Stock of all kinds moved somewhat 

 better last week. Though heavy ship- 

 ments were received, the demand showed 

 improvement. 



Carnations are. beginning to drop off 

 a trifle and it now looks as if there 

 might be a short supply of this flower 

 for Easter. Roses are coming finely, 

 with plenty of any color to fill all orders. 

 Sweet peas, pansies, valley and lilies 

 are coming in heavily, but are moving 

 at fair prices. Bulb stock is a drug, 

 selling at almost any price. Violets are 

 also moving slowly. 



Various Notes. 



It is with regret that we report the 

 death of Mr. Darnell, father of L. F. 

 Darnell, manager of the J. M. Gasser 

 Co., who passed away at Raleigh, N. C, 

 March 9. L. F. Darnell left the city 

 on short notice, but arrived too late to 

 see his father alive. 



Milford Parks has released his stand 

 at Luna Park and will conduct business 

 on the same plan as last season. 



The death of J. M. Gasser is reported 

 in the obituary column. 



The F. R. Williams Co. has let the 

 contract for eight rose houses, each 

 25x300, even-span and open under the 

 gutters. The Evans ventilator machines 

 will be used, and the firm has placed 

 an order for 38,400 square feet of Ever- 

 lasting tile bench. They have used this 

 bench for the last five years, for both 

 roses and carnations, and are well pleased 

 with it. 



Some fine carnations are sent to this 

 market by Chappell & Son, of Garretts- 

 ville, O. 



Peter Nichols, of the Arcade, reports 

 trade good. He is moving large quan- 

 tities of stock daily. 



Knoble Bros, had a large funeral at 

 Kent, O., this week. Mr. Knoble him- 

 self accompanied the order, as it was 

 too large to ship without personal at- 

 tention. B. 



Hartford, Conn. — Arthur Volz will 

 erect a greenhouse, 33x133 feet, on Ed- 

 son street, at an estimated cost of $1,500.
