The Florists' Review 



January 16, 1913. 



THE SOIL CARRIER IN USE. 



SAVES TIME. LABOR \ MONEY 



We call your attention to our Gravity Carriers for conveying soil into and out of 

 greenhouses. You are aware of the great amount of labor necessary for changing the 

 loam In your benches. It requires but a few feet of our Oravity Carriers to reduce 

 this expense. 



Carriers are made in eight and four foot sections, which can be instantly joined ; 

 the rollers are of the best seamless steel tubing, ball bearing, and are 14 inches in length 

 by 2^4 Inches in diameter. Cut shows how they operate. 



A run of carrier is set up with one end projecting through a window and a cart 

 containing the loam is placed at this end. The loam is shoveled into the boxes, which 

 are pushed or conveyed by grravity into the house and dumped into the benches. Empty 

 boxes are pushed back to cart over same run of carrier. When the beds within a con- 

 venient radius are filled, the carrier is set up at another window and the work contin- 

 ues until all benches are filled. For removing soil the process is, of course, similar. 



We shall be pleased to furnish further details relative to construction and dura- 

 bility of the carriers; also, upon receipt of information relative to size of your green- 

 houses, furnish an estimate of the cost of a system for your requirements.

Mention The Review when you write. 



EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business is active, every day being a 

 busy one for the florists. Funerals, 

 weddings and social decorations have 

 been plentiful. Flowers of all kinds 

 are in abundance. The weather has 

 been favorable all along, with the ex- 

 ception of last week, which gave us 

 more rain than was wanted, and as a 

 result the Ohio river at this point is 

 over forty feet, being several feet 

 above the danger point. 



Various Notes. 



The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. has 

 been busy and is cutting enough flow- 

 ers to supply the demand. This concern 

 is well supplied with roses, carnations 

 and other flowers. Some nice Easter 

 lilies were on display at the store, as 

 well as other plants. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons are busy 

 with funerals and decorations. They 

 are cutting immense quantities of roses 

 and carnations. 



Emil Niednagel and Miss Olga 

 Schmidt were married January 9. The 

 wedding was a quiet one, only the 

 members of the immediate families be- 

 ing present. The couple left the same 

 evening for several weeks' stay in 

 Florida and Cuba. 



C. L. Niednagel is still cutting Amer- 

 ican Beauty of extra fine color. Kil- 

 larney is oflP crop, but he is cutting 

 a considerable quantity. He is drying 

 off My Maryland, intending to start 

 anew in a short time. 



J. C. Elspermann keeps busy. He is 

 cutting excellent carnations and finds 

 a ready sale for them. His Easter lilies 

 are showing up nicely and will be about 

 right for Easter. 



Miss Nellie Goodge has been quite 

 busy, having about as much as she is 

 able to handle. She has almost recov- 

 ered from her recent illness. 



Henry Seymour has had considerable 

 funeral work lately. His carnations 

 are good. 



Louis Fritach is gaining trade stead- 

 ily. His carnations are in good condi- 

 tion. 



Eoyston & Fenton are off crop with 

 roses. Their smilax is coming along 

 well and will be ready to cut in Feb- 

 ruary. E. L. F. 



Oconomowoc, Wis. — The new green- 

 house of the Otto Sylvester Co., on 

 Silver Lake street, has been completed 

 and stocked with ferns, violets and 

 chrysanthemums.
