The Florists' Review 



Januabt 2, 1918. 



BETTER UNDERSTANDING 



of our firm, its products and its method of doing business, 

 means to you, the buyer. Better Service, Better Goods and 

 Better Satisfaction. Our aim is to produce quality in 

 quantity at reasonable prices. 



Better business means to us better employees and to 

 them a better living. We guarantee that you get 100 per 

 cent of what you order in a quality that will be satisfac- 

 tory to you as a buyer and to us as producers. 



Selling job lots at low prices is not a business, and 

 there is no standard of quality in job lot buying. From 

 us you get a guaranteed quality at a price fair to the 

 buyer, and at which there is a reasonable profit and an 

 insurance against damage in transit. Our goods are insured 

 to you against loss. Producing young stock is a business, 

 and job lots at low prices are left-overs and culls. 



Our CatalojTue of Roses, Carnations, Chrysanthemums and Bedding 



Stock is yours for the asking.

Business during the week following 

 Christmas was quite good, crops of all 

 kinds being on the short side. There 

 was such a good demand at Christmas 

 that everything cleaned up well. Con- 

 sequently prices were pleasing in char- 

 acter. Ked flowers were in big demand, 

 and there was a shortage of Richmond 

 roses. Boxwood and evergreens seemed 

 to be in demand, as were other greens, 

 A fine lot of poinsettias could be seen 

 in all the stores, selling according to 

 size at $3, $4, $6 and $9 per dozen. 



In the plant line cyclamens were in 

 the majority, great quantities being 

 disposed of at from $1.50 to $3 each. 

 Azaleas brought from $3 to $5, Poin- 

 settia pans were, of course, great favor- 

 ites with the public, selling at 35 to 45 

 cents per bloom. Palms and ferns 

 cleaned up well with the rest. S. W. 



DES MOINES, lA. 



Sunday, December 22, we took a look 

 in J. F. Marshall's carnation houses 

 and were much pleased to find the 

 entire place in excellent condition. He 

 has some White Perfection that would 

 be a credit to any grower and he ought 

 to make some good money on them. 

 He also has a seedling, now in its fifth 

 or sixth year, that he has named 

 Eobert Marshall. Parentage: G. H. 

 Crane on Prosperity. It has scarlet 

 blooms three and three-quarters inches 

 across, full and high in center, good 

 stem and is a wonderfully free bloomer. 

 This is without a doubt the best scarlet 

 we have had the good fortune to see. 

 When asked why he did not put it on

the market in rooted cuttings, he re- 

 plied that he did not have the space to 

 handle the stock required for such sales, 

 as he has his entire place given over to 

 the growing of cut flowers.
