The Florists^ Review 



AUGUST 20, 1914. 



ICKES-BRAUN MILL CO. 



An Up-to-date Greenhouse 



must be lasting, secure, efficient, properly ventilated. 



It must be constructed in accordance with the rules 

 which have been approved by knowledge and experi- 

 ence. We have been in the greenhouse manufacturing 

 business for a good many years and our experience is at 

 your disposal. Whether you intend to build your first 

 house or plan an addition, we believe that our sugges- 

 tions will be of interest to you. At the same time our 

 convenient factory, with modern labor saving machinery 

 and an old stock of the best air-dried La. Cypress, 

 enables us to quote you very reasonable prices.

The Market. 



The market last week was somewhat 

 slow. The supply continued large, but 

 the demand is hardly up to normal for 

 this time of year. As a result, prices 

 are low. The supply of gladioli con- 

 tinues large and steady and the greater 

 part of the stock is of the same high 

 quality as at the last writing. The 

 glut of early asters is about over and 

 large, choice late ones are coming in. 

 The better grades bring good prices 

 The Easter lily cut is sufficient for re- 

 quirements and contains some fine of- 

 ferings. The rose market presents 

 about the same front as at last report. 

 There is plenty of stock of all varieties, 

 but the sales are rather slow and the 

 prices strictly buyers' prices. The ma- 

 jority of them are job-lot prices. Good 

 auratum and rubrum lilies are offered 

 in various quantities. Hardy hydran- 

 geas find a limited market. The supply 

 of greens is adequate for present re- 

 quirements. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell has been receiving 

 some fine blooms as the first of a new 

 cut of giganteum lilies from the Hoff- 

 meister Floral Co. 



Miss Margaret Anstead, who has 

 been a faithful and trusted employee 

 of E. 6. Gillett for the last five years, 

 has resigned. Miss Anstead and Chas. 

 K. Eeidel are to marry August 20. Gor- 

 don Myers is now Mrs. Gillett 's assist- 

 ant. 



During L. H. Kyrk's absence his son 

 Frank is superintending the cleaning 

 and repainting of Mr. Kyrk's place. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 has been receiving some fine Sunburst 

 from Schumann & Wahlers, of Newport,
