The Florists' Review 



13 



entire room is practically as good as 

 daylight. A traveler from that enter- 

 prising metropolis, Chicago, who saw 

 the unusual fixtures, immediately asked 

 to have a set made for his store in the 

 city. This order, rather out of the 

 ordinary for a flower" store, was filled, 

 and the baskets and lamps ready for 

 lighting were shipped across the lake. 



The store is decorated in a way that 

 readily adapts itself to this system of 

 lighting. The upper walls and ceiling 

 are of a cream tint with gold figures, 

 while the lower walls are of a natural 

 green finish. The furnishings are all 

 of white enamel. These include an H- 

 foot display case with double plate 

 glass in front and sides, a IQ-foTQt dis- 

 jilay case for baskets, ribbons,- f Qliage, 

 etc., fitted into a series of sht^yeHVthat 

 extend half the length of the siefrie ,an(l 

 across the rear end, and five talipes. 



There is a large room immediate'Jy in 

 the rear for the storage and handling 

 of seeds and bulbs, as well as a base- 

 ment that keeps perfectly what bulbs 

 and stocks are needed and will accom- 

 modate five carloads. Mr. Thompson 

 expects to build up a prosperous retail 

 business in addition to that in the 

 wholesale growing of bulbs already 

 established, and the records since the 

 establishment of the store Just before 

 last Easter point to that end.

SUPPLY MEN IN CONFEBENCE. 



There was a confereiiee of the florists' 

 supplies and ribbons interests at Phila- 

 delphia August 10 for welfare reasons — 

 the Kuropean war has created such un- 

 usual conditions that leading houses 

 thought it desirable to talk over the 

 policies to be pursued. It was the con- 

 seiisus of opinion that it would lie folly 

 to show samples of Pairoi»eaii nieichaii- 

 (lise at the Boston convention , next 

 week, with no stock on hand and little 

 prospect of getting an,v. It was agreeit 

 that each would help the other with 

 merchandise in or<ler that the retail 

 florists might be served as well as ]>os- 

 sihle and it was the general view that 

 th(* Wvdfare of the trade is to be cou- 

 si<lere(l above individual interests and 

 that prices are to be held down as con- 

 sistently as circumstances will permit. 

 Leatling New York, Chicago and Phil- 

 aiielfthia houses were represented. 



THE EFFECT OF THE WAB. 



War is, of course, economic waste for 

 which the world must pay — and the 

 conflict in Europe is so much the great- 

 est war in all history that it is natural 

 that the waste should be appalling,- 

 even to the people of the United States. 

 But it has been a surprise that so many 

 readers should write to The Review for
