The Florists' Review 



OCXOBEE 1, 1914. 



er and well-known florist, was married 

 September 16. His bride was Miss Ber- 

 tha C. Kreher. The marriage took place 

 at the bride's home, which is one of the 

 spacious and handsome residences of 

 this city. Many florists were present. 

 The house was beautifully decorated 

 with palms, ferns and White Killarney 

 roses. The bride's bouquet, which was 

 a present from Henry Scheuerman, was 

 one of the most artistically arranged 

 bunches ever made in New Orleans. It 

 consisted of orchids and valley. The 

 maid of honor carried White Killarney 

 roses and the bridesmaid carried Killar- 

 ney. After the toast was made and con- 

 gratulations were bestowed on the new- 

 ly married couple, they escaped through 

 the rear entrance to avoid the rice 

 shower and took the Merry Widow train 

 to Florida, where they spent their honey- 



moon.

WINTER-FLOWERING ORCHID SWEET PEA. "MRS. A. A. SKACH." 



Ny Original Winter-Oowering Orchid or Spencer Sweet Pea 



revolutionized the cut flower market last winter. It has brought higher prices thau 

 the best carnation, from the start to finish. They will be more sought for this year. 



Mr. A. C. ZvolaneV. Lompoc. Cal. Philadelphia, Pa.. Aug. 29. 19'4.

 nearly all of the Peas from Messri. A. Harvey <& Sons, which firm no doubt you know very well 

 There wa* nothing in the cut flower line last wintT that -old more readily than the Orchid Peas 

 We believe that all the growers who ha I your Orchid-flowering Peaa last winter had a most profit 

 a'le cr<p. As lou know, some of the retailers a e rather blow to take up something new. After tb' 

 first purchase of Orchid Peas, however, they invariably bought them in preference. • • •
