The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Al>fiIL 14, 1910. 



& Bro., of Greenville, O., was in town 

 last week, introducing to our local trades- 

 men a new elastic glazing paste, which 

 seems to be a good thing. It is applied 

 in the same manner as liquid putty, but 

 is frost-proof and water-proof. It is 

 a glossy black in color, adheres to any 

 surface, will not crumble, and is flexi- 

 ble at all times. They report that all 

 who have tried it speak highly of it. 



Mrs. B. Haschke has been suffering 

 from a bad case of poisoning in her 

 h'ands ^ind face, which she got from 

 Handling Primula obconica during the 

 Easter rush. About the first of May she 

 intends to erect a new house, 28x150. 

 Five years ago Mrs. Haschke embarked 

 in the flower business, putting up a small 

 range of houses. Her business rapidly 

 increased ^nd she has since enlarged her 

 plant extensively. The new house will 

 be given up to chrysanthemums until 

 after their season is over, and' then will 

 be used for miscellaneous stock. Mrs. 

 Haschke will this fall introduce to the 

 trade a red seedling chrysanthemum, 

 which is considered by all who have seen 

 it to be the best red chrysanthemum on 

 the market, it being a deep, velvety red. 



Joseph N. Hodgin and Oscar Acton, of 

 Richmond, Ind., and Mrs. Schadt and 

 Conrad Schadt, of Cincinnati, O., were 

 guests of Mr. and Mrs. George Bartholo- 

 mew, April 10. 



Mrs. L. D. Johnson and her son, Wil- 

 liam, left April 9 for a two weeks' visit 

 in New Orleans, La., where they will be 

 the guests of Mr. and Mrs. M. Cook. 



Thomas A. Poole, formerly in business 

 as Poole & Purllant, at Washington C. 

 H., called on the Dayton florists April 11. 



Miss Buby Bartholomew, Mrs. Eay G. 

 Bartholomew and her son, Kenneth, spent 

 April 10 as the guests of Mrs. Edgar 

 Thompson, Covington, O. 



' * There are tricks in all trades but 

 ours," you often hear the florist say, 

 but it was only a few days ago that a 

 nurseryman was in town soliciting or- 

 ders among our residents for crocus 

 bulbs for immediate delivery. He was 

 successful in getting several orders, but 

 in filling them small gladiolus bulbs were 

 used. 



Mrs. E. Young was called upon one 

 day last week to make up a vegetable 

 bouquet, which wag to be presented to a 

 young bride. Mrs. Young, equal to all 

 occasions, scoured the market and picked 

 up every vegetable in season. For a cen- 

 terpiece she used a small cabbage; other 

 vegetables were tomatoes, radishes, tur- 

 nips, carrots, lettuce, etc., and for 

 streamers she used small pretzels, prunes 

 and ' ' weiners. ' ' 



The Miami Floral Co. had an excep- 

 tionally large week at funeral design- 

 ing. 



Mr. Cassell, representing the Central 

 Rubber & Supply Co., of Indianapolis, 

 Ind., made his rounds among our florists 

 last week. R. A. B. 



Canajoharie, N. Y. — Joseph Traudt 

 was present at a recent meeting of the 

 board of trtistees of the Prospect Hill 

 cemetery and gave some valuable infor- 

 mation in regard to ornamental trees, a 

 number of which will probably be planted 

 in the cemetery. 



Belvidere, III. — John W. Lyon has 

 sold a half interest in his greenhouses 

 and business to Herbert Anderson, his 

 son-in-law. Mr. Anderson was formerly 

 with Mr. Lyon at the Fairview Green- 

 houses, but of late has been with M. C. 

 Sadewater, at Rockford.

What W. J. Palmer & Son, lancaster and 

 Buffalo, New Yoik, have to say of 



"DETROIT" AUTOMATIC RtlURN 

 STEAM TRAPS 



"We have been using two of your 'Detroit' 

 Traps the past winter on a Gravity System 

 and find they keep the pipe clear of conden- 

 sation, therefore matcing the return do as 

 much as the flow. We are able to heat with 

 less numl)er of pipe than formerly and keep 

 the houses far more even in temperature." 



"Detroit" Traps will do the same for you.

 ance, saving its cost by the economy 

 in coal bills.
