The Weekly Florists' Review. 



July 29, 1909. 



COLUMBUS, OHIO. 



The Market. 



Trade is quiet, with some funeral work 

 now and then to help keep our hands in 

 practice. Stock is in fairly good shape 

 for this time of the year. Carnations 

 are scarce, as nearly all of them are 

 thrown out now and everybody replant- 

 ing. "What few come in find a ready sale. 



Some good Bridesmaids are coming in. 

 There are few other roses at present, out- 

 side of Maids. Gladioli are quite plenti- 

 ful and sell fairly well. 



Sweet peas are about done for, as the 

 heavy rains and hot sun have put them 

 to the bad in short order. There are 

 calls for them right along, but there are 

 none to be had. Asters are coming in 

 quite plentifully at present and it is 

 doubtful how we could get along without 

 them, with other stock so scarce. There 

 are still a lot of lilies coming in and 

 they are in good condition. There has 

 been a good demand for ferns, etc. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club picnic, at Buckeye 

 lake, July 21, was a great success. Three 

 chartered cars started from Columbus 

 at 8 a. m. and left the lake, returning, at 

 8 p. m. There were races for boys, girls, 

 men and women, and there were some 

 good sprinters among them. They say 

 some had practiced for a couple of weeks 

 to get their wind in shape for the con- 

 test. The three-legged race was most 

 amusing, as some of the sprinters could 

 not get their feet going at the same 

 time. The sack race was the best of all, 

 and about ten went in for it. There was 

 some tall jumping and only three finished. 

 They were I. D. Seibert, Jacob Eeichert 

 and Lee Mathews. There was boating, 

 fishing and dancing and all present 

 seemed to enjoy themselves. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is send- 

 ing in some good Maids and a good lot 

 of asters. 



Gus Ackerman is cutting some good 

 roses and fair carnations. 



I. D. Seibert and family, with a party 

 of friends, are spending a couple of 

 weeks at Buckeye lake. Wait for the fish 

 stories. J. M. 



Mt. Clemens, Mich. — James Taylor 

 has opened a downtown store at the cor- 

 ner of New street and North Gratiot, in 

 the room recently occupied by Waltzer & 

 Ullrich. 



Please omit my advertisements of 

 vincas and dracsenas, for they have sold 

 them all. — Dana R. Hekron, Olean,

Godfrey Aschmaao^lieAraacaria King 



Is More Active than Ever 



Four Houses Filled with the Best. With What? 

 Sure, with AR4UCARIAS, His Specialty 



Empty houses! That won't do. What shall I 

 plant? What is the most profitable? Listen to 

 what your neighbor florist has to sav. Mr. Mc- 

 Ointy to George Know Nothing: "I filled a rea- 

 sonable portion of my greenhouses last year 

 with Godfrey Aschmann's Araucarias. and I tell 

 you straight out 1 was only sorry I did not buy 

 more. In two weeks, just when the demand was 

 the biggest, my stock was nearly exhausted. 

 This year I shall be smarter. Last week my order 

 to Aschmann called for just double the amount. 

 I never can lose anything on such an investment 

 as that. Every dollar put in Araucarias yields 

 three to four times the value while we're asleep." 



We are one of the largest importers of these 

 well-known and beautiful evergreen decorative 

 plants, the Araacaria Bobnsta Compacta, 

 Exeelaa Olaaca and Excelsa. 



Florists should bear in mind that no borne, gar- 

 den, lawn, etc., is complete without the Araucaria; 

 therefore, if you wish to make money, recom- 

 mend the Araucaria to your customers. In- 

 troduce this noble plant to Tour trade. We give

 them.

 name, as well as the Araucaria itself, shall never 

 die out. and is still fresh in people's minds, same 

 as when we first started. Why the Araucaria is 

 so popular is because it is an ancient plant, kept 

 by Greeks and Romans as a special favorite in 

 their household, as a good omen.
