Results bring advertising. 

 The Keview brings results. 



Albert Pochelon, of Detroit, the new 

 secretary of the Florists' Telegraph De- 

 livery, has adopted as his slogan, "Five 

 hundred members in 1915." 



Not a few subscribers save themselves 

 the bother of annual renewal by sending 

 The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- 

 stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- 

 two visits of the paper. 



SOLD OUT— THANKS. 



One of the pleasant features of pub- 

 lishing The Review is that so many peo- 

 ple like the paper and the service it gives 

 well enough to add a word of thanks to 

 their business communications. Like 

 this: 



Kindly discontinue our ad on carnation plants ; 

 all sold out, thanks to The Review. — L. 0. Stroh 

 & Sons, Batavla, N. Y., September 9, 1912.

FOREIGN EXHIBITS FOE N. F. S. 



Foreign exhibits for the National 

 Flower Show, to be held at New York, 

 April 5 to 12, 1913, will be admitted 

 free of duty under an Act of Congress 

 approved March 4, 1911, for the free 

 entry of articles imported for exhibi- 

 tion at expositions to be held in New 

 York, the term of which Act was recent- 

 ly extended three years. Any merchan- 

 dise entered for exhibition under the 

 Act may be sold at any time during the 

 exhibition (but withdra'wal of it will not 

 be allowed until after, the close of the 

 exhibition), subject to prompt customs 

 entry at the close of the period of 

 exhibition, and upon such entry the 

 merchandise will be appraised and due 

 allowance made for diminution or de- 

 terioration by reason of exposure or 

 incidental handling. Merchandise not 

 so entered within thirty days after the 

 close of the exhibition will be sent to 

 general order stores as unclaimed; or 

 it may be entered for warehouse in the 

 regular way. Copies of the Act and 

 the regulations in full carrying same 



into effect may be obtained on i^pj^^a- 

 tion to John Young, secretary, 54 West 

 Twenty-eighth street, New York.

 not obtain a'copy at Chicago will have

 mittee can get the names checked up. 

 C. W. Johnson, Sec'y. 



FOB QUICK ACTION. 



If you want something you haven't 



got, look for it in The Review; if you 



have something you want to get rid of, 



offer it in The Review. That is the 



custom of those who know. And here 



is the result: 



The Review is the paper to put your ad In if 

 you want quick results. My holler was sold 

 from only one little notice; answering Inquiries 

 actually cost more for postage than the price 

 you charged for the aavertlsement. — Blzby * 

 Co., Wichita, Kan., September 6, 1912. 



CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



Little or no surplus stock is to be 

 found on the market this week and 

 prices have advanced during the last 

 few days. Crops are light as a result 

 of the heat wave of two weeks ago and 

 until the growers are able to bring them 

 on again the market will no doubt re 

 main much as at the present. Not even 

 the heretofore plentiful asters are in 

 oversupply and it is evident that in a 

 short time they will be off the market. 

 Carnations have assumed a more impor 

 tant position and, while they eut no 

 great figure as yet, another week or two 

 will find them in full supply. Those that 

 have appeared this week are much bet- 

 ter in stem and also show an improve- 

 ment in quality over a week ago. Con- 

 sequently the demand has increased 

 and, with asters falling off, prices have 

 advanced. 



Cool weather has helped bring in a 

 better grade of roses during the last 

 few days and Beauties have gained in 

 popularity, meeting with an excellent 

 demand. The supply, however, is fai 

 from being overplentiful and stock that 

 is worth handling is readily disposed of 

 with the wholesaler making the prices. 

 Killarney and White Killarney enjoy 

 a good demand and, while there is no 

 great supply of long stems in these, the 

 short and medium lengths are finding 

 a market at good figures. Maryland is 

 also moved in good shape, but is not in 

 so good supply as heretofore. Rich 

 mond moves faster as the weather 

 grows cooler. Of the other roses, Mrs. 

 Taft, Sunburst, Melody and Radiance 

 appear to be rather scarce, although 

 there is a fairly large supply of Mrs. 

 Aaron Ward. 



Gladioli are suffering the same fate 

 as the asters. The supply is growing 

 smaller and is hardly of the same qual 

 ity that was on hand a week or two ago, 

 but prices are much better, on the aver 

 age. Orchids are starting to arrive 

 and in the next two weeks a large cut 

 is expected. Gardenias still are scarce 

 and hardly enough can be had to meet 

 a not large demand. Chrysanthenums 

 are hardly up to the quality shown two
