The Rorists' Review 



Apbil 17, 1913. 



A SEARCH FOR JSNAPDRAGaft 



. The writer took a trip to the great Flower Shou 



and 



vJifit the early momlbir hours in the wholesale flower 

 district of New York. Having anapdragon on the 1 rain 

 every variety caught his eye. He saw many buyers pajj 

 the high- class fancies and mixed lots but eagerly .seek 

 the silvery pink strains. One lot of sanuln* Silver 

 Pink was cleaned up in his presence by two buyers on 

 arrival, and the salesman said that it was so with every 

 shipment. This search was instructive and gratifyiQg 

 and we wish to say : ' 



FIRST:— It you grow snapdragon atall, select a good 

 one and grow it well— give it room, keep it straight, and 

 market it while it is fre»h 



SECOND:— If you want a vatiaty tliat the buyers 

 take, grow SILVER PINK. The buyvrtB |De man that 

 we must all cater to. Our opinion caUHt* but little 

 against the man at the end of the llne^the man with 

 the money. 



Silver Pink has two attractive features— Its color, and ' 

 habit of gr ow th . -It does net-«>*ry-*ny un»lKhtly side 

 growth to lop over and appear wilted. All shoots can 

 remain, which, by their stiffness and gradual shortonin; 

 as they near the flower, give a symmetrical stock with 

 follas* and fflowar combined. Look into this coint. 

 It is a strong one . Disbudding mean s much time Inst and 

 a decollete flower stem. If you wish a demonstration 

 send 25c for sample spike with all growth and cuttings 

 attached. My original Silver Pink is a clean-cut stand- 

 ard, far ahead of the list in style and color, which appeals 

 to the buyer on sight.

EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



Since the high water receded, busi- 

 ness has been resuming normal con- 

 ditions. The flood was the greatest we 

 ever had. As the railroads were nearly 

 all out of commission, few trains were 

 leaving here and the express companies 

 would not handle flowers or any per- 

 i hable commodities. But business is 

 fairly satisfactory now, and, with 

 plenty of flowers of all kinds, the 

 florists are filling all orders with dis- 

 patch. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Xiednagel & Sons are doing 

 their usual good business, with plenty 

 of flowers to fill their orderf. 



The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. al- 

 ways has a tasteful window display of 

 seasonable plants and flowers. Busi- 

 ness is good. 



Ben Kramer is well satisfied with his 

 trade. He is using lots of carnations. 



Karl Zeidler is cutting some fine 

 carnations. He has built a house for 

 roses and already has it partly planted. 



Henry Seymour has lots of fine carna- 

 tions in pink, white and red. 



Miss Nellie Goodge is attending to 

 business regularly again, as her health 

 seems much improved. 



J. C. Elspermann has been exceed- 

 ingly busy lately and has had consider- 

 able funeral, work. At the time of 

 writing, April 14, his force of help are 

 making a goodly number of large de- 

 signs for four different funerals.
