The Rorists' Review 



79 



Keeping a Reputation 



IT is one thing to get a good reputation but another thing to keep 

 it. The quality of the stock we have sent out from year to year 

 has made an enviable reputation for itself and we have that repu- 

 tation to maintain. It hasn't been luck; it's been hard, consistent 

 work to make it. Judging by our spring prospects, that reputation 

 will be made good. 



Our novelties of the season in Roses are Killarney Brilliant and 

 Hadley. 



In Chrysanthemums, Indian Summer, our bronze sport of Ohadwick, 

 and the new Pompons— Golden Climax, Golden Harvest, Golden 

 West, and Western Beauty. For pot plants the new bronze Grey- 

 stone. 



Our bedding plant stock is large and in excellent condition. 



If you have received our trade list look it over. It includes things 

 you will want. If you haven't it, send for one, using printed station- 

 ery, or give reference, to prove yourself a florist.

The Market. 



Business is rather quiet; there is not 

 much doing in any line of trade. Stock, 

 owing to the extremely cloudy weather, 

 is sqft anij scarce. Carnations are hard 

 to get and the supply of roses hardly 

 meets tiie demand. 



Various Notes. 



The Brainard Nursery & Seed Co., of 

 Thompsonville, Conn., has been sending 

 some fine potted plants into the city. 

 It plans to remodel its buildings before 

 the spring rush begins. From now on it 

 expects to do a big business in cuttings 

 and small potted stock. 



One of the greenhouses and the boiler 

 room of Nicholas Bros., at Westfield, to- 

 gether with the stock in the house, were 

 almost completely destroyed by fire 

 January 26. Two small houses near by 

 were saved. The loss was partly covered 

 by insurance. The origin of the fire is 

 unknown. F. J. C. 



Eockford, lU.— W. ft. Hall, who has 

 been in charge of the Engstrom farm, 

 south of the city, has moved to town 

 and will engage in florists' work. 



Little Eock, Ark.— Paul M. Palez 

 suffered a loss from damage done by 

 a fire in a millinery establishment in 

 the building in which his store is lo- 

 cated, at 409 Main street. 



Portland, Me.— William J. Kennoy, 

 formerly designer and decorator with 

 Thomas F. Galvin and with Julius A. 

 Zinn, of Boston, has taken a similar 

 position with the E. J. Harmon Co. here.
