The Florists' Review 



August 6, 1914, 



HOW ABOUT THAT NEW BOILER? 



SUMMER IS THE TIME TO PREPARE FOR COLD 

 WEATHER. NOW IS THE TIME TO ORDER A 

 WILKS SELF-FEEDING HOT WATER BOILER. 



It will stand between you and future 

 worry and unnecessary expense. 



WILKS HOT WATER BOILERS 



are made of the best quality of steel, strongly riveted and calked, with 

 no cast-iron sections to crack. Our catalogue Is yours for tho 

 asking. It tells all about our heaters, shows their economy and gives 

 a plan for heating a model greenhouse.

the return pipes were raised as high as 

 possible without interfering with the 

 growing of the plants. The attachment 

 of a mercury generator to the system 

 would also increase its heating efficiency. 



BUFFALO, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Every florist complains that business 

 is exceediagly dull. A little funeral 

 work is about all the activity in the 

 flower line these days. There is a scarc- 

 ity of all kinds of stock. Roses are poor 

 and scarce. Russell, Taft and Ward 

 are the best roses; White Killarney 

 holds up pretty well, however. Gladioli 

 are excellent and they are the most 

 abundant flowers just now. Asters 

 are coming into the market in large 

 quantities and they are improving in 

 size and length of stem right along. 

 There are a few Japanese lilies, rubrum 

 and album, to be had now. Harrisii 

 lilies are rather scarce. Sweet peas are 

 getting poorer and the summer crop will 

 soon be over. American Beauties are 

 good, considering the warm weather. 

 Valley is excellent and the price is mod- 

 erate. Cattleyas are abundant. Lark- 

 spurs, snapdragons, cut hydrangeas, 

 candytuft, etc., are among the garden 

 flowers for sale of late. 



Club Picnic. 



The annual outing of the Buffalo Flo- 

 rists' Club was held Thursday, July 23, 

 at the Bedell House, Grand Island. Not- 

 withstanding the fact that it rained 

 nearly all afternoon, there was a good 

 attendance, and in the late afternoon 

 the weather was quite clear, so that the 

 events were run off in a satisfactory 

 manner. These included various kinds 

 of races, a baseball game and a tug of 

 war between growers and storemen. 

 Walter Leney was the star prize winner 

 of the day, capturing firsts in the half- 

 mile race and running broad jump and 

 second prize in the 100-yard dash. 



Dinner was served at 7 p. m. and the 

 table decoration was most artistic, hav- 

 ing been executed by Charles Erhardt, 

 who deserves a great deal of credit for 

 his work. After dinner, dancing and 

 bowling occupied the evening until a
