The Florists^ Review 



October 31. 1912. 



MINNEAPOLIS. MINN. 



The Market. 



Last week the autumn weather nearly 

 attained perfection and could not possi- 

 bly have been more in harmony with 

 the spirit of entertaining. There were 

 a great many weddings, and fall enter- 

 taining is at its height. Most of the 

 decorations have been made doubly ef- 

 fective with autumn leaves and with 

 flowers in keeping with the natural 

 foliage. 



Mums are good now, especially the 

 larger varieties, but the prices are high. 

 Boses are great, especially My Mary- 

 land. The new Lady Hillingdon is good, 

 has excellent keeping qualities and is 

 becoming quite a favorite. Paper White 

 narcissi have made their appearance. 

 Violets are fast reaching their regular 

 place as the most popular flower for the 

 corsage, and are good. Flowering plants 

 are gaining in popularity and will for 

 a time help to fill the wants of the 

 flower buyer. 



Various Notes. 



Hans Rosacker is building a boiler 

 room and installing a 100 horse-power 

 boiler, which will more than heat the 

 houses he now has, and there is plenty 

 of room for two more boilers of the 

 same size, which he expects to install 

 when required by the enlargement of 

 his range. 



Julius Dilloflf, representing Schloss 

 Bros., New York, called on customers 

 here last week. 



Miss Whitted had a most effective 

 decoration, in her Nicollet avenue and 

 Tenth street store, for the "Made in 

 Minneapolis ' ' week. It was a Japanese 

 garden, with beautiful flowering plants 

 in profusion and excellent lighting 

 effects. 



The Hiawatha Gardens Co. has 

 opened a retail store at the University 

 avenue and Bedford street place, and is 

 adding extensively to the greenhouses, 

 building and equipping in the most up- 

 to-date method. The firm is doing away 

 with the old houses near the street, the 

 absence of which will add greatly to 

 the appearance of the place. The new 

 storage room for bulbs, which is cooled 

 by outside air, is about completed, and 

 the company believes that this is going 

 to be a much more satisfactory way of 

 handling the bulbs, eliminating the 

 necessity of digging the flats out of the 

 frozen ground. W. F. H.

WHEN YOU BUY, IT PAYS TO BUY GOOD STUFF 



iVLook and see what Mr. Fred J. MIchell, off these 

 well-known firm, Henry F. MIchell Co., of Philadel- 

 phia, has to say about our plant, Sept. 14, 1912: 



"I have just visited the greenhouses of Gotlfrey Aschmann, and must 

 say that It was indeed a great surprise to me. I h»ve never Heeii a bet- 

 ter lot of Araurarias, Ferns of all Hizettand varietieH and pricew, 

 KubberH, Palms, Azaleas and all other seasonable plants ready 

 for shipment, as are at present at Mr. Godfrey Aschmann's." 





"Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 7, 1912— Godfrey Aschmann, Pliiladelphia. Dear sir : Find 

 P. O. payment for the following order. Your last shipment of plants has been so 

 satisfactory. I must add a word of praise and appreciation. Very truly yours. 8. 

 B. Senseman. 2 So. Suffolk PI., Atlantic City, N. J." 



Araucaria Excelsa, raised from top cuttings, 

 spring Importation, 1911. 6 to 7-in. pots, 4 to 

 5-year-old, r>, 6, 7, 8 to tiers, 25, 28. 30, 35 to 

 40 Inches high, |1.00, $1.25, |1.50, $1.75 to $2.00 

 each. 



Araucaria Excelsa, raised in Belgium, from top 

 cuttings, spring Importation, 1912, 5, 5% to 6-ln. 

 pots, 2 to 3-year-old, 3, 4 to 5 tiers, 14, 16, 18, 

 20 to 25 Inches high, 40c, 50c, 75c to $1.00. 



Araucaria Excelsa Glauca and Excelsa speci- 

 men plants, 28, 30, 35 to 40 Inches high, $1.50 to 

 $2.00 each. 



AZALEA INDICA 



New Importation, unpacked and in first-class 

 condition, full of buds. 1 must say that they 

 stood the sea Toyage well, and I do not say too 

 much when I say that ever since I began the 

 Azalea Importing I never received such a fine lot 

 as this time. If you want to force Azaleas for 

 Christmas successfully, do not wait long, but 

 start right away, giving at first 50°, then 55°, 

 and gradually raise the temperature to 60°-65°, 

 when they show color then slowly cool off again. 

 We have Petrick, the best earlv pink, Deutsche 

 Ferle, double white, Simon Mardner, double pink, 

 Vervaeneana, double rose variegated (one of the 

 best old standard varieties), Pharailde Mathilde, 

 resembles Vervaeneana, but much lighter In color, 

 50c, 60c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00. For 

 later and for Easier blooming we only imported 

 the well known American varieties, such as 

 Mme. Vander Cruyssen, Paul Weber, Niobe, John 

 Llewellyn, Apollo, DeSchryveriana and a few 

 others (the Christmas varieties also can be kept 

 for Easter very easily), 50c, 60c, 75c, $1.00, 

 $1.25, $1.80 to $2.00 and $2.50. We only ship 

 out good stock, all are worth the money charged 

 for them — but look. Brother, the importing of 

 Azaleas Is no more profitable: when they arrive 

 In America we have to pay 50 to 60% on duty, 

 freight and other charges; In Europe we have 

 to pay $2.50 for every box for packing, and have 

 to pay duty on the_packlng also. Tnerefore we 

 must have the CASH WITH THE OHDES, and 

 nothing else.
