The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



October 1, 1908. 



ERIE, PA. 



The Market. 



The theater season has opened again 

 and with it comes the usual hustle in the 

 floral business. Society folks are grad- 

 ually returning from their summer homes 

 and giving more life to the city. 



The local florists are furnishing good 

 roses in Khea Reid, Queen Beatrice, Maid 

 and Bride. Beauties are also coming on 

 finely. Carnations are improving in qual- 

 ity and quantity. 



The weather is variable, some days go- 

 ing back to the temperature of July, 

 while the nights are almost too cool for 

 eomfort. Rain is badly needed in this 

 section. Streams which have not gone 

 dry for twenty years have dried out this 

 summer. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. A. J. Baur has returned from a 

 two months' visit with relatives in To- 

 ledo, O. 



The millinery openings are demanding 

 the attention of the local growers. 



Miss Jennie Adams, saleslady for the 

 Bobb Floral Co., has returned from her 

 vacation. 



Fred Wagner and Kenneth Foster, em- 

 ployees of the Baur Floral Co., have re- 

 turned from their vacations. 



Miss Elizabeth Moran is spending her 

 vacation at home with her invalid mother. 



B. P. 



RACINE, WIS. 



The Racine Floral Co., which last 

 spring purchased the old Fidler prop- 

 erty, on Asylum avenue, has spent several 

 thousand dollars in improvements, in- 

 cluding the erection of four additional 

 greenhouses, which are now completed. 

 Two houses are used for carnations and 

 two for roses. Another house is devoted 

 to chrysanthemums, geraniums and as- 

 sorted plants, and still another contains 

 palms, ferns, tropical plants and .Dutch 

 bulbs. 



The growing and gardening are under 

 the management of Paul Bork, who for 

 seven years was superintendent of the 

 greenhouses at Oak Grove cemetery. La 

 Crosse. Afterward he was foreman at 

 John Weiland's greenhouses, in Evanston, 

 111., and still later was in business for 

 himself. The firm will give special at- 

 tention to decorations and this depart- 

 ment will be under the care of Mrs. E. 

 Miller, who was for several years in 

 charge of the decorating at Hotel Pfister. 



The company's city office is about ready 

 for the formal opening. 



Baltimore, Md. — Max Hildesheim, 

 of the Imperial Seed & Plant Co., ar- 

 rived last week from his European trip 

 and reports a very stormy passage. His 

 firm expects large shipments of azaleas, 

 nursery stock and seeds at an early date.

Ventilating Apparatus 



It is the principles under- 

 lying the construction of a 

 machine that count. This, 

 backed by first-class ma- 

 terial, made in a mechan- 

 ical manner, makes friends 

 of purchasers, and with a 

 reasonable urice and pro- 

 fit creates a demand. 

 Qhese ai'd other reasons 

 have made it possible for 

 *U8 to have machines in 

 use in 3d states iu a little 

 over 4 years' time. Get our 

 estimate; give us a trial.
