The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBBR 18, IMX 



MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



Monday morning, October 3, found 

 Albert Pochelon, secretary of the F. T. 

 D., Detroit, Mich., busy directing a staff 

 of clerks in the store. Michael Bloy, 

 business manager, was found almost hid- 

 den behind the morning's mail, toying 

 ■with the envelope cutter. "Remember 

 the time," observed Mr. Bloy, "when 

 you found me repairing the wires at the 

 exhibit in Arcadia hall two years ago? 

 Who could have prophesied the extent 

 to which those wires could be worked 

 or to what good purpose we have 



labored?"

"Sniff! Smells good, doesn't it?" 

 observed Aaron Shive, manager of the 

 Flick Floral Co., Fort Wayne, Ind., re- 

 ferring to the first application of liquid 

 cow manure upon chrysanthemums. 

 Eoscs, however, were being dressed with 

 sheep manure. Carnations are breaking 

 finely and a batch of cyclamens complete 

 a quartet which will swell the treasury. 

 The range of the Flick Floral Co. com- 

 prises approximately 100,000 square feet 

 of glass and is heated by two 100-horse- 

 power Kroeschell boilers. It was noted 

 at this range that snapdragons occupy 

 the space formerly planted with carna- 

 tions. The fine quality of the blooms 

 and the increased demand warranted the 



change.

The window of the L. Bemb Floral 

 Co., Detroit, Mich., is filled with pack- 

 ages of Holland bulbs ready for mailing, 

 with this suggestion: "A good thought 

 for friendship! Send a box of Holl:ind 

 bulbs by ]iarcel post. ' '

The W. J. & M. S. Vesey greenhouses. 

 Fort Wayne, Ind., have conipletod two 

 new greenliou.ses, which will be planted 

 with cattlcyas. David Vesey observed: 

 "Never have enough blooms and the 

 process of ))r<)pagation is so slow that it 

 is jiroblcniaficnl if we shall ever be able 

 to meet the deiiLind." Roses, carna- 

 tions and chrysanthenninis are all in fine 

 shape and are expected to supply the an- 

 ticiiiatcd dcinanil, which has been highly 



encouraging.

Hall's Nicotine 

 Fumigator (12'^<7e)

 houses. Hall's Free 

 Nicotine (40% nico-

 or vaporizing. 



Hall's Nicotine Sul

 guaranteed) for out- 

 door spraying. Hall's 

 Tobacco Dust (1%

 for dusting. 



■LJ ALL'S new NICOTINE FUMIGATOR 

 ■*■ -^ produces a dense volume of deadly nico- 

 tine fumes. That is why it is so surely effec- 

 tive against plant-lice, thrips and similar 

 sucking insects which infest greenhouses. 

 It is a specially treated tobacco powder 

 saturated with 12'ij% pure nicotine; this 

 we guarantee. Scientific methods of manu- 

 facture have enabled us to make many im- 

 provements. For example : 



It lights quickly, burns evenly and will not 

 goout. No waste— every particleisconsumed. 



It retains its strength indefinitely. The 

 air-tight tin takes care of that. 



And it is most economical. In fact it costs 

 but 25 cents to fumigate the ordinary green- 

 house (20 by 100 feet). 



One-pound tins, $1.25; 2'...- pound tins, 

 $2.50; 10-pound tins, $8.50.
