The Weekly Florists' Review* 



June 17, 1»»9, 



management of greenhouse crops, design 

 work and the retail trade. During the 

 second half year the instruction will be 

 in spring greenhouse crops. In this 

 course it is intended. to give more atten- 

 tion to the treatment of outdoor herba- 

 ceous material, which should form a 

 prominent feature of florists' Avork. The 

 short course in floriculture will be given 

 during January and February, the same 

 as last year. 



The department has recently received 

 from the Morehead Manufacturing Co. a 

 complete model of its return steam trap 

 for greenhouses. This model will be used 

 for classroom demonstration. 



E. C. Canning, head gardener of Smith 

 College, visited the floricultural depart- 

 ment recently. He is especially inter- 

 ested in the college at the present time, 

 as he has a son ready to enter the fresh- 

 man class this fall. 



F. G. Bartlett, superintendent of For- 

 estdale cemetery, Holyoke, was ready for 

 a holiday after the Memorial* day rush 

 and spent June 2, with his foreman, 

 visiting the various departments of the 

 college. Mr. Bartlett said the demand 

 for bedding plants in Holyoke was never 

 greater than this year. 



SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



Current Gimment. 



Peonies were just a Aveck too late for 

 Memorial day trade. 



Rose plants have been sold out more 

 completely than for several years, and 

 late buyers in search for desirable varie- 

 ties or long lists are being quite unex- 

 pectedly disappointed. Some will prob- 

 ably learn that the earlier placing of or- 

 ders is essential to the securing of cer- 

 tain desired sorts of roses. 



Harry C. Eeeser is once more in the 

 harness and has associated with himself 

 a partner who will undertake the sale of 

 the products of the new copartnership, 

 under the style of Eeeser & Youngstrand. 

 On the five acres of desirable land located 

 at the corner of Johnson avenue and 

 Clay street, buildings have already been 

 erected and put into operation, including 

 four greenhouses, each 20x120, with a 

 shed 18x85, to which an office and sleep- 

 ing room are attached. The walls of the 

 houses are of concrete and everything is 

 substantial and modern in construction. 

 Ferns and pelargoniums are planted un- 

 der the glass, while in the field are 

 cannas, vincas, tritomas, etc., which will 

 be offered at wholesale. Mr. Young- 

 strand is an experienced newspaper man, 

 and his ability in this direction will no 

 doubt prove effective in making the firm 

 and its output known to the trade. 



The retail catalogue trade continues 

 unusually late, some concerns being from 

 ten to fifteen days behind orders. This 

 is due chiefly to the fact that it is prac- 

 tically impossible to secure an adequate 

 amount of experienced or competent help 

 during the rush of spring and early sum- 

 mer business. Diflficulty is also being ex- 

 perienced in obtaining roses in suflBcient 

 quantities to supply the demand for col- 

 lections. Ge Dale. 



New Castle, Ind. — Otto Benthey, 

 manager for the Frederick J. Benthey Co., 

 says that the local retail business is 

 rapidly increasing in volume and is pay- 

 ing well for the attention given to it. 

 Decoration day business was especially 

 good.

Dear Sirs:— If your trap cost ten times what you ask for it, it would be cheap when 

 time, labor and coft of repairs are considered, in comparison with the steam pump I had 

 installed before irettinK your trap. 



I cannot praise it too highly and I recominend it to everybody who tallcs steam.
