POSSIBILITIES. 



Being much interested in the wel- 

 fare of florists throughout the country, 

 I take the liberty to write thiS;^. in the 

 hope of getting the opinions of my fel- 

 low florists, through the columns of 

 The Review, in regard to the introduc- 

 tion of better methods and equipments. 

 I believe that our business has just as 

 much opportunity for improvements as 

 any other class of work and there is 

 special need at present of accomplish- 

 ing something for the benefit of the 

 trade in the way of more economical 

 production. The chief obstacle in the 

 way of such improvements is, that we 

 are all so much interested in the art 

 of floriculture, so as to obtain the mere 

 necessities of life, that we have little 

 leisure for the bringing about of the 

 desired conditions. In connection with 

 the present high cost of living, what we 

 need is something cheap and beneficial 

 to the small florist — in fact, to the 

 whole trade — as in many instances the 

 price of flowers cannot be raised to 

 meet increased expenses. 



What will be the possibilities in time 

 to come, when the florist is rushed for 

 cut flowers, to be furnished within 

 twenty-four hours, and they are not 

 likely' to be ready in time to fill the 

 order! He will then force them out 

 in a few hours by artificial sunlight, 

 rather than lose the order. This will 

 be done in the near future, and will 

 be brought within the means of every 

 energetic florist. 



What will it mean when the florist 

 will not need to sit up at night to fire 

 his boilers or regulate ventilation, but 

 will let the steam itself attend to the 

 firing and regulate the ventilation and 

 heating? It is possible and it is com- 

 ing. Think of the meaning of this 

 alone. 



What will it mean to handle all the 

 soil and empty and refill the green- 

 house benches by some mechanical con- 

 trivance, at half the usual cost and 

 with little labor? This is not coming, 

 however, but is already here, and needs 



Money Talks 



Our machine can not talk, 

 but it saves money. That is 

 saying a Kood bit. 



Remember the name AD* 

 VANCB. for it means the 

 highest quality of material 

 and workmanship that latest 

 type machinery and modern 

 methods of manufacturing can 

 produce.

 chinery.

Are we all asleep? Let us wake up 

 and see what we need. Submit your 

 thoughts about the matter, and thus 

 give us all a better chance to get our 

 brains busy on the subject. Do not 

 laugh if someone should tell you that 

 you can sometime have violets for the 

 Fourth of July, or asters or peonies for 

 Christmas. It is possible and will be 

 practicable, and it is coming. Such im- 

 provements as that will make a hit; 

 they will bring us the money, and that 

 is what we want.
