The Florists^ Review 



AUGUST 20, 1914. 



DBS MOINES, lA. 



The Market. 



The drought continues and the soft- 

 wooded stock is not producing the 

 cuttings anticipated. The aster crop is 

 poor. Local growers say it is much 

 below the average. Gladioli are suffer- 

 ing from the drought; they need a good 

 soaking to improve the length and qual- 

 ity of the stock. Outdoor sweet peas 

 are again a failure. 



The first consignment of early 

 Romans has arrived; the bulbs are 

 small. The quality of the Paper Whites 

 also is not up to standard. These are 

 the first bulbs to arrive since the out- 

 break of the war. 



Various Notes. 



Trillow, the Florist, has everything 

 benched except carnations. He has 

 been hunting for good stock, but found 

 nothing doing. 



C. N. Page, of the Iowa Seed Co., is 

 home from Rochester, Minn., where he 

 underwent an operation recently; he 

 says he feels quite weak and will have 

 to take great care of himself. Harry 

 Berreckman is again around the ship- 

 ping department. He says his paralysis 

 is almost gone, and he begins to handle 

 the horseshoes like an expert at the 

 noon hour. Hans Peter Jurguenson, of 

 the shrub and plant department, at- 

 tended a Danish picnic up the river and 

 got a heavy sunburn from swimming 

 and rowing; it caused him so much 

 pain about the legs and arms that the 

 doctor ordered him to take a few days' 

 rest. . W. D. 



DETEOIT. 



The members of the trade in Detroit 

 will read with regret the report of the 

 death of Mrs. E. A. Fetters, which ap- 

 pears in this week's obituary column. 



Wm. Dilger has just completed three 

 tennis courts for the Timkin-Detroit 

 Axle Co. These courts are constructed 

 according to some original ideas of Mr. 

 Dilger and are considered as fast as any 

 in the country. 



Albert Pochelon left Monday eve- 

 ning, August 17, for the convention. 

 Michael Bloy is also in attendance. 



H. S. 



Louisville, Ky.— F. Walker & Co., lo- 

 cated for a quarter of a century on 

 Fourth avenue, are now in their new 

 store, at 312 West Chestnut street. The 

 building was especially designed for the 

 use of this firm and is exceedingly at- 

 tractive and commodious. Adjoining is 

 a conservatory for the display of bloom- 

 ing and foliage plants.
