FLORISTS' REVIEW 



When Writing AdvcrtlMra 



weeks ago, before the hot weather 

 struck them, but the supply is heavier 

 than ever before at this date. The 

 varieties are Golden Glow, Smith's Ad- 

 vance and October Frost. There are 

 various reports on lilies. Some say the 

 call is brisk and the supply inadequate, 

 while others report that lilies are in 

 fair supply and meet with only a mod- 

 erate demand, there being just enough 

 call to take care of the daily arrivals. 

 Valley is in good supply, but the fall 

 wedding demand has made a brisk call 

 and there has been considerable diffi- 

 culty in filling orders. Greens are more 

 plentiful than ever and the shipments 

 of wild smilax and Mexican ivy are 

 on the increase. 



Various Notes. 



Ice machines are coming into fashion. 

 The Fleischman Floral Co., on Jackson 

 boulevard, has just completed installing 

 one, Wendland & Keimel, Elmhurst, 

 have put one in and George Asmus says 

 the Schiller corporation is getting 

 figures. 



M. 0. Gunterberg is back from a vaca- 

 tion spent with relatives in Minnesota 

 and is again busy with business. 



Announcement is made of the mar- 

 riage, Saturday, September 14, of Harry 

 Blewitt and Miss Eva Timme. The 

 ceremony was performed at the home 

 of the bride's parents in Irving Park, 

 in the presence of members of the two 

 families only. The bride is the daugh- 

 ter of Fred W. Timme, one of the pio- 

 neers of the trade in Chicago, and the 

 groom is the son of HenJy C. Blewitt, 

 one of the oldest growers at Des 

 Plaines. He is himself a well known 

 grower, being one of the owners of the 

 Des Plaines Floral Co. Mr. and Mrs. 

 Blewitt, after a short honeymoon, will 

 make their home at Des Plaines. 



E. B. Washburn, who has been absent 

 from the store of Bassett & Washburn 

 on account of illness, has assumed 

 charge of the work at the new plant 

 being built at Gregg's Station. 



W. E. Lynch, of A. L. Vaughan & 

 Co., was called to Northampton, Mass., 

 September 9 to attend the funeral of his 

 sister, Mrs. T. A. McGrath. 



W. J. Smyth and family have re- 

 turned to their home in Englewood after 

 spending the summer, as usual, at their 

 cottage on Lake Marie, Antioch, 111. 



E. E. Pieser returned to the city Sep- 

 tember 13 and is again at his accus- 

 tomed place in the store of Kennicott 

 Bros. Co. Mrs. Pieser has gone to 

 Winnipeg.

 house Co., says he is well pleased with 

 present conditions and the prospect for 



autumn. ^, , , ,

 For Success 



"We all have more or less trouble in 

 keeping the greenhouse stock clean dur- 

 ing the winter months, and I dOubt 

 whether there are two firms who make 

 use of the same methods to do it. But 

 I an^i sure we all agree that the only 

 right way is to prevent, if at all pos- 

 sible, the appearance of the green or 

 black aphis, and not wait before spray- 

 ing or fumigating until things are alive 

 all around us. Therefore, if you have 

 made up your mind to keep your car- 

 nations, roses, and other stock clean 

 this winter, get busy now. Order from 

 your supply house a good stock of the 

 preparation you are in the habit of 

 using, and take it down from the shelf 

 every ten days and fumigate or spray. 

 Bugs or no bugs, for the last two years 

 we have used nicotine in different 

 strengths, and while this has been most 

 effective, Aphine is just as much so, 

 and the beauty of it is its cheapness. 

 I don't care what you may grow, if 

 you spray your houses every ten days 

 according to directions on the can you 

 are going to have clean stock. Start 

 now. It's your only chance. Keep the 

 houses clean from now on and you 

 have easy sailing all through winter 

 instead of a continuous fight to keep 

 the insects down." 

 Fritz Bahr, "Week's Work," Florists' 



Exchange, September 14, 1912.

 composition of essential oils and nico- 

 tine, effective against green, black, 

 white fly, thrips, red spider, mealy bug, 

 and scale. It can be applied to the 

 tender foliage without injury, and is 

 an excellent cleanser for decorative 

 stock. Price $2.50 per gallon, $1.00 per 

 quart. 



FUNQINE is a liquid sulphur com- 

 position. It is an infallible remedy for 

 mildew, rust and bench fungi. It does 

 not stain the foliage, but cleanses it. 

 Used with success by the leading rose, 

 chrysanthemum, carnation and sweet 

 pea growers; also for fruit and vege- 

 tables. Price $2.00 per gallon, 75c per 

 quart. 



VERMINE. A soil sterilizer and 

 germicide which will destroy eel, cut, 

 wire and grub worms, slugs, root lice,

 parts water thoroughly soaking the
