The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Mabch 26, 1908. 



THE BOSTON VIOLET 



The people today are looking for new Violets just as much as they are 

 for new roees or carnations. THE BOSTON VIOLET for the past two years 

 has been placed before the most skeptical buyers in America, and they prefer 

 it to any other. 



THERE'S A REASON. The Boston Violet is the largest, the most 

 fragrant; it has a very pleasing color and it is a great keeper. THE BOSTON 

 VIOLET is a variety that is easily grown, it is the strongest grower and is in 

 crop from September to May. 



THE BOSTON VIOLET was awarded a First-Class Certificate of Merit < 

 by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, and a Report of Superior Merit by 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, of Boston. 



Distribution will commence in April. Order now. 



Prices, $2.00 per dozen; $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

TOLEDO, OHIO. 



State of Business. 



Funeral work again helped keep up the 

 good trade among local florists last week. 

 The arrival of spring also brought with 

 it a good demand for spring flowers. 

 Parties have been numerous and, with 

 good weather, the trade has prospered 

 generally. 



Various Notes. 



The week marked the passing of one 

 downtown store, for the Wisner Floral 

 Co. abandoned its store in the Ohio build- 

 ing, on Madison avenue. Mr. Wisner 

 will devote his entire time to his green- 

 houses on Cherry street. 



Friends of Frank J. Schoen are offer- 

 ing their congratulations. It's a boy and 

 arrived last week at the Schoen residence. 



E. J. Fancourt, of the S. 8. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., Philadelphia, was in town 

 March 23. 



Joseph Heinl, who has been visiting at 

 the home of Harry Heinl, returned to his 

 home at Jackson, HI., last week. 



The child of Howard Anderson, of the 

 Schoen Floral Co., has been ill.

David Mcintosh, gardener on the C. M.

 tate of Mrs. C. M. Bell at Tuxedo Park, 

 N. Y., and has moved there. 



Robert Hunnick, gardener for W. B.

 Leeds. Mr. and Mrs. Hunnick intend 

 spending a part of the coming summer 

 in England.

 of Mrs. T. J. Emery April 1. D. M. 



I AM much pleased with the Eeview 

 and like it the best of any paper for the 

 trade. — J. M. Hazlewood, Vancouver, 

 B.C. 



It is putting it mildly to say the Be- 

 viEW is the most helpful and most in- 

 structive paper I have ever read. When 

 one copy is read I can hardly wait for 

 another. — John Spencer, Decatur, Tex.
