The Weekly Florists' Review* 



.lANUAItY 27, 1910. 



CENTRALIA, ILL. 



As announced briefly in a recent issue 

 of the Eeview, the business of J. W. 

 Ross has been incorporated, under the 

 name of the J. W. Ross Co., with a 

 capital stock of $40,000. 



The object of the incorporation is to 

 secure capital for the accommodation of 

 the flower and seed business of this 

 concern, which has been growing rapidly 

 since Mr. Ross located in Centralia six 

 years ago. At that time only a local 

 business was attempted, but the popular- 

 ity of Mr. Ross's products was such that 

 the business spread out rapidly, until 

 in the year 1909 Mr. RoSs sent out flow- 

 ers, plants and seeds into twenty-seven 

 states and made some shipments into 

 Canada. Consequently he has found it 

 necessary to make extensive additions to 

 the plant, and for this purpose and the 

 necessary advertising the additional cap- 

 ital provided will be used. 



The incorporators are J. W. Ross, 

 J. E, Karnes and John J. Bundy. The 

 first board of directors comprises J. W. 

 Ross, A. J. Ross and J. E. Karnes. 



A downtown office and store have been 

 established on East Broadway, for the 

 more convenient handling of the business. 



UTICA, N. Y. 



Holiday trade was the best ever, in the 

 opinion of Frank C. Baker, of Utica, N. 

 Y. Combination baskets sold well. Flow- 

 ering plants never sold better and De- 

 signer Wilcox was kept busy making up 

 floral pieces. 



William Mathews, of Utica, says that 

 were he to begin over again, he would 

 cover his place with glass for cattleyas 

 alone. The demand is so good that never 

 has a bloom gone to waste. His son, 

 Harry, recently took to himself a bride, 

 one of Utica 's fairest blossoms, and is 

 receiving congratulations from all sides. 



William Pfeifer, of Utica, reports a 

 good business, with plenty of work ahead. 



Charles H. Roney was a caller at 

 Utica in the interests of the Henry F. 

 Michell Co., Philadelphia. Being a vet- 

 eran grower and an expert at that, he 

 makes himself entertaining with the boys. 



West Hoboken, N. J. — The green- 

 houses of Oscar Boehler, at Summit ave- 

 nue and Du Bois street, were seriously 

 damaged by fire December 30. The loss 

 was over $2,000. The fire, it is said, was 

 caused by an overheated boiler. 



AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION 



Don't wait until your vines and plants are full of San 

 lose Scale before you spray them. Get busy now and 

 keep oS the pests by thoroughly spraying with a strong
