The Florists^ Review 



AudcsT 22, 1912. 



GRAND BAFIDS, MIOH. 



The Market. 



The weather Continues wet, an abnor- 

 mal amount of rain having fallen. 

 Crops in the surrounding country are 

 water-soaked. Wheat, oats, corn and 

 potatoes are in many instances a total 

 failure. However, it is fine carnation- 

 growing weather, accompanied, as it is, 

 with cool nights. 



Business is of the dull, summer type, 

 with occasional funerals to set every- 

 body bus^. Carnations are scarce. The 

 old plants, such of them as are still in, 

 are exhausted. It being so wet, it is 

 difficult to get the soil dry enough to 

 plant in. Gladioli are the main flow- 

 ers used at present, particularly for 

 window display. 



Club Meeting. 



On Thursday night, August 15, the 

 Florists' Club met at Henry Smith's 

 store, on Monroe avenue, and there was 

 both a large and enthusiastic meeting. 

 Everyone seemed to be impressed with 

 the fact that the prices charged for 

 bedding plants, porch boxes and shrub- 

 bery were far too low. The whole price 

 subject was thoroughly discussed, item 

 by item, as to what price should be 

 charged to make their sale profitable, 

 and it is to be hoped that much good 

 will grow out of the discussion. 



The next meeting will be at Crabb 

 & Hunter's store, 114 East Fulton 

 street, September 19. 



The committee to induce outside flo- 

 rists to come to Grand Rapids and join 

 with the club in going to the Chicago 

 convention reported the following as 

 going: William Krieger and Mr. and 

 Mrs. J. A. Bissinger, of Lansing; S. B. 

 Brown, of Lapeer; M. A. Herrick, of 

 Owosso; Mr. and Mrs. Wasserman, of 

 Muskegon; Mrs. Herzog, of Big Kap- 

 ids; G. Fred Bauer le, of Lansing; Mr. 

 Moses, of Petoskey, and Mrs. H. D. 

 Franks, of Allegan. Several others are 

 reported as coming in, including Mr. 

 and Mrs. Vincent, of Ionia. Those go- 

 ing from here are Henry Smith, Arthur 

 Crabb, Geo. F. Crabb, Mr. Freyling, Mr. 

 Mendalls, Peter Kunst and his son, 

 William Cunningham, Mr. Bruinslot and 

 Eli Cross. Everyone will wear a badge 

 with "Michigan Florist" in large let- 

 ters on it, thus booming Michigan.

THE RECOGNIZED STANDAID MSECnCIDC 



Not a cure-all, but a specific remedy for all sap- 

 sucking Insects infesting plant I<fe, snch as green, 

 black, white fly, red spider, thrlpa, mealy bog, 

 brown and white scale. 



Universally endorsed by commercial growers and 

 professional gardeners of reputation as the in- 

 secticide that does excel all.

"Actions speak louder than words." So we are 

 willing to let the merit of this comparatively new 

 fungicide speak for itself. We claim It has no equal 

 for mildew, rust and wilt attacking flower, fruit or 

 vegetable plants. A trial will convince you. 



tS.OO per gallon: 75o per quart. 



Aphlne and Funglne are spraying materials, readily 

 soluble in water, used at various strength*, accord- 

 ing to directions on each can. They are equally ef- 

 fective In the greenhouse and In the garden.
