The Weekly Florists' Review. 



January 12, 1911. 



fore Christmas. In speaking of it at 

 this time, Mr. Maas says it did the 

 work of three ordinary delivery outfits. 

 Their holiday business was seventy-five 

 per cent ahead of last year, and, by 

 pressing another motor machine into 

 service during the rush, they say that 

 all orders were delivered on time. 



During the last week, while the ther- 

 mometer was hovering around the zero 

 mark, one of the large steam boilers at 

 the Brown Deer plant of the Holton & 

 Hunkel Co. sprung a leak, but no bad 

 results followed, owing to the quick- 

 mindedness of the man in charge. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. reports a sat- 

 isfactory run of business for the last 

 week. They are contemplating an ad- 

 dition of one propagating house and 

 two mum houses at their Wauwatosa 

 plant. 



Visitor: Mr. Garland, of the Geo. 

 M. Garland Co., Des Plaines, 111. 



Fred Bliese, of Schneck & Bliese, the 

 Waukesha florists, left January 5 for 

 an extended trip to Los Angeles, Cal. 

 He was accompanied by Mrs. Schneck, 

 mother of the senior member of the 

 firm. 



Nic Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, is 

 a busy man these days, propagating and 

 <lisseminating his new carnation seed- 

 ling. Bright Spot. He reports a good 

 demand for it. K 0. 



SPRINGFIELD, O. 



The Market. 



The monthly meeting of the Spring- 

 field Florists' Club was held at the 

 office of the Good & Eeese Co., Monday 

 evening, January 9. In addition to the 

 members Arthur J. Todd, C. A. Schafer 

 and J. F. Businger, who recently em- 

 barked in the florists' business as offi- 

 cers of the Eeeser Plant Co., were pres- 

 ent as guests and prospective members 

 of the club. 



Bandom talk prior to the business 

 session indicate'd that the Holland bulb 

 salesmen are now in town, and the much 

 vexed question of exorbitant transporta- 

 tion costs on shipments from Sassen- 

 heim, Hillegom and adjacent points was 

 again threshed over without a satis- 

 factorily definite solution, the most 

 practical plan suggested being to have 

 the shipper prepay freight out of funds 

 to be advanced by purchaser. 



The paper of the evening was read by 

 Arthur C. Leedle, secretary of the 

 Leedle Rosary Co., on the subject of 

 "The Sphere of the Landscape Ar- 

 chitect," which was treated in a man- 

 ner evincing a considerable study. An 

 animated discussion followed, in the 

 course of which it developed that 

 Springfield is practically without a 

 landscape architect whose services are 

 available to the general public. The 

 value of such expert services is readily 

 discernible in the beauties of Snyder 

 park and Ferncliff cemetery, which for 

 natural beauty, enhanced by artistic 

 skill, are conceded to be unequaled any- 

 where in the country. The woeful lack 

 of artistic and intelligent planting in 

 Springfield was freely discussed and as 

 a remedy it was advocated that the 

 gradual education of the children should 

 be attempted, as this would eventually 

 raise the standard of the entire com- 

 munity. 



Christian Binning referred to the cus- 

 tom of the schoolmasters in Germany 

 in training the pupils to plant. He fol- 

 lowed with a splendid suggestion to the 

 end that a large portion of the land jj* 



Snyder park advocated as suitable for 

 the formation of a lake be apportioned 

 among the different public schools and 

 planted by the children under the super- 

 vision of the principals and properly 

 regulated by the park authorities. Such, 

 an idea systematically worked out and 

 controlled would be productive of in- 

 tense enthusiasm in the schools and at 

 the same time add popularity to the 

 park and in the end would prove a 

 valuable advertisement to Springfield. 

 Mr. Binning and C. P. Bethard were 

 appointed a committee to formulate a 

 plan for presentation to the proper city 

 officials. Ge Dale. 



SALVIAS FOB MAY. 



When should salvias be sown to make 

 nice plants for May? J. K. 



Sow any time during March. A 

 sowing in even the last part of that 

 month will give big plants, as salvias 

 are rapid growers. C. W.
