The Florists' Review

The GENUINE Crego Aster 



DIRECT FROM THE ORIGINATOR 



With its enormous blossoms, long stems and vigorous, healthy plants, this Aster is becoming more valuable to the 

 florist from year to year, and its remarkable success is due to the fact that it has had the benefit of twelve years of the 

 most rigid and painstaking selection, every effort having been directed tow^ard developing its commercial qualities— 

 toward making it a money-maker for every florist who handles it. Growing no other seed of any kind, I am able to give 

 this the closest possible attention. 



One of the largest growers at Irondequoit, the great Aster center of New York state, says : " Our best Crego blooms 

 usually sell at about $1.00 per dozen, retail— about twice as much as can be got here for any other variety." (See "Asters 

 at Irondequoit," in Florists' Review, April 25, 1912.) Both wholesale and retail, when properly handled, the Crego Aster 

 has always maintained its position at the top of the market. 



BUY YOUR SEED DIRECT FROM THE ORIGINATOR 



C This Aster has proved itself to be exactly what every florist needs— an Aster which finds instant favor with his customers, for which they 

 are willing to pay the highest price, and which gives him the highest return for his lime and labor. It costs the grower no more to produce 

 flowers of that grade than to grow the common run of Asters which sell for but little more than enough to pay express charges. C If you 

 are interested in getting the highest possible returns from your Aster crop next summer, I shall be pleased to hear from you at an 

 early date. CI am offering the Crego Aster in four colors — White, Shell-pink, Rose-pink and Violet— all fully up to Crego grade, with 

 immense, fluffy blooms 4 to 6 inches in diameter and of splendid color.

fornia, delivered an interesting lecture 

 on landscape gardening at San Jose on 

 the evening of February 11. An un- 

 usually large audience greeted him. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. has been 

 shipping upward of 3,500 Cecile Brun- 

 ner roses daily during the last week. 

 The Cecile Brunner rose has become as 

 popular in the east as has the Mrs. 

 Russell- rose in the west. W. A. H. 



The closing of the oldest establish- 

 ment on the coast, the J. H. Sievers 

 nursery, is a matter of more than local 

 interest. The Sievers estate has sold 

 out the stock and greenhouses and re- 

 tired from business. This was done, 

 not only for settling the estate of the 

 late John H. Sievers, but principally on 

 account of the location of the estab- 

 lishment, which has for its neighbor- 

 hood one of the finest residence districts 

 of the city. The nursery, built over 

 thirty-five years ago, was famous for 

 its many new creations in carnations, 

 begonias, pelargoniums, etc. The large 

 and varied collection of orchids came 

 next in prominence, as there were over 

 5,000 plants of many varieties. Cat- 

 tleyas were grown mostly, for cut 

 flower purposes. J, A. Carbone, of 

 Berkeley, was the successful bidder for 

 the orchids of the J. H. Sievers estate. 

 The addition of all these plants to his 

 establishment places Mr. Carbone as 

 possibly the leading orchid grower in 

 the west. Two additional houses are 

 being built at his place in Berkeley, 

 125 feet in length, one of them being 

 especially constructed for the growing 

 of Odontoglossum crispum, and the other 

 for new importations of cattleyas.

The Market. 



The trade has shown a decided im- 

 provement during the last week. Though 

 there is a slight oversupply of carna- 

 tions and bulbous flowers, still the stock 

 cleans up well on the whole. Violets 

 are being shipped to this market in 

 quantity and are of fine substance, ar- 

 riving in excellent condition. Roses are 

 acne too plentiful. All green goods are
