about cenflo publications

Cenflo, Inc. Publications will celebrate its 63rd anniversary in July 2010. Our original publication, Flower News, traces back to 1947 when five wholesale florists and a seedsman founded the weekly trade newspaper, then called Central Flower News. The wholesalers, Amling Co., Chicago Flower Growers, Joseph Foerster Co., Eric Johnson, Inc., and A.T. Pyfer; and the seedsman, Alex Henderson, Inc., were a combination of founders, stockholders and advertisers. The name of the publication was changed to Flower News in 1962.

Flower News started as a weekly paper, except during the months of July and August, when publication was suspended. It currently is published on a monthly schedule.

Over the past half-Century, a number of publications were added. The present lineup consists of Flower News; Flora Magazine, a floral design publication; The Flower Book, an annual resource book; Nursery News, a monthly landscape and nursery trade newspaper; and The Nursery Book, an annual resource book for nurserymen and landscapers.

The company’s main office relocated from Chicago, Illinois to Rio Rancho, New Mexico in November 2004.

Keeping pace with current business practices, Cenflo will continue to offer the horticulture industry updated news and information via print and digital media.
