The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



April 22, 1909. 



EVANSVILLE.IND. 



The Market. 



Easter business was good, probably a 

 little better than last year, with prices 

 about the same. Roses, carnations, val- 

 ley, sweet peas and violets were the cut 

 flowers that sold best. In plants, Easter 

 lilies and all bulbous plants were in de- 

 mand. Owing to warm weather, the 

 bulbous stock was not in good condition. 

 The weather was ideal for all deliveries. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Niednagel had a fine cut of 

 roses and carnations. His lilies wese 

 extra good, and were easily disposed of. 



The Blackman Floral Co. has had a 

 great rush of business, including a large 

 amount of funeral work. They cut about 

 5,000 carnations. This firm has secured 

 Harry Wallace, formerly of Vaughan's, 

 at Western Springs, as rose grower. Sat- 

 urday they planted a house of Bride, 

 Maid and My Maryland, all grafted 

 stock. 



Ben Kramer was extremely busy Easter 

 and sold lots of carnations. 



Henry Seymour has had a great deal 

 of funeral work lately, and has certainly 

 had plenty to do. E. L. F. 



SPRINGFIELD, ILL. 



George Asmus, who is one of the mem- 

 bers of the committee on state fair ap- 

 pointed by the HUnois State Florists' 

 Association, reports that the department 

 has secured for next fall's exhibition at 

 the Illinois State Fair, Springfield, all of 

 the rotunda of the dome building, a cir- 

 cular space containing about 13,000 

 square feet of floor space, exclusive of 

 the main aisle. There is a premium list 

 of over $2,700 offered in this depart- 

 ment. The walls will be well decorated 

 and every facility offered for making the 

 finest display ever shown in the state, 

 outside of the Coliseum in Chicago, and 

 the superintendent of the department is 

 arranging for private space for the flo- 

 rists to make up their designs and pieces 

 in the building, and also is trying to ar- 

 range for cooling rooms.

ACME POT WASHER 



This machine is built substantially and will withstand severe wear and tear; sides, ends 

 and bottom are taken from 1 clear. Red Oulf Cypress Board, and are mortised and bolted 

 together, after which they receive two coats Lead and Oil of first quality, assuring long life, 

 no leakage and durability. Body of machine will hold from 300 to 800 pots (according to 

 size), which is filled with enough water to cover said pots, thereby causing dirt, etc., to soak 

 loose; then same is lifted from water and placed on brush of machine (full set of brushes go 

 with each machine), which will do better work than would be possible to obtain by hand. 



Two men can wash with this machine 16.000 pots per day, or one man 7500 pots per day, 

 or 7500 pots can be washed for $1.50. One man can wash by hand 1500 pots per day (if he 

 works hard), therefore you will plainly see that in one day one man will wash, with machine, 

 6000 more than he can wash by hand, or five times as many. Above figures will show that by 

 band it will cost $1.00 per 1000 to wash pots; they will also show that it costs by use of our 

 machine 20c per 1000. a saving of 80c per 1000. This means that if you have 35,000 to wash 

 same will pay for machine. Write for prices and particulars.
