The Weekly Florists' Review. 



April 2, 1903. 



dNONNATL 



The Market. 



Business sliowed more activity dvuiiir. 

 tlie past week, and for tlie most part iUe 

 demand was greater than the supply, 

 although at times trade was very quiet. 



Eoses were very scarce in all colors. 

 Beauties and Meteors were the most 

 plentiful, but the quality was not very 

 good. Long-stemnied, Beauties were good 

 property and sold well. Tlie demand 

 for Golden Gates was first-class and 

 they sold better tlian any other variety. 

 Liberties are still very scarce, and what 

 few are to be had are quickly picked up 

 jind at high prices. 



Carnations' are more plentiful, but 

 still there are scarcely enough to go 

 around. Red ones are most in demand. 

 Long high-grade Lawson find a ready 

 market. A few extra quality Prosperity 

 are quickly Iiought up. There are mure 

 pink than all other colors put togelhcr, 

 but there are not enough of them at that. 

 Tliere is a good demand for violets, now 

 that they are about gone, and a much 

 better piice is being obtained for them. 

 Sweet peas move slowly. 



The supply of asparagus and sniilax 

 is increasing, and they sell readily. 



Bulbous stock is selling well, valley 

 and Harrisii being very good propertv. 

 Von Sion and dafl'odils also sell well. 

 Tliere are very few Romans grown, there 

 being very little money in them for the 

 growers, the price of the bulb is so 

 high. 



The outlook is very good for a laru'C 

 cut of stock for Easter, with the excep- 

 tion of carnations. With them it will 

 be the same old story and there will not 

 be enough to fill alf orders. Some nice, 

 clear weather will help things greativ, 

 though. Harrisii lilies will not be any 

 too plentiful. 



The Fall Festival Association has ac- 

 cepted the schedule submitted by the 

 Cincinnati Florists' Societv for the 

 shows to be held in September, and it 

 will be out in a short time. 



Mr. Ed. Bissel has left the employ of 

 Huntsman & Co., and is now with" the 

 Marion Floral Co., of Marion. Ind. 



The euchre party given by the Flor- 

 ists' Club was a decided success socially 

 and all expressed themselves as havin" 

 had a pleasant time. Mr. W. Gou"y 

 representing H. A. Dreer, of Philadel- 

 phia, was present and carried off the 

 gentlemen's booby prize, which was an 

 automobile filled with violet and valley. 



Visiiors the past week were: Join 

 Walker, of 'i'oungstown. O. ; Jlr. Smith 

 of Smith & Fetters, Cleveland, O • w' 

 Gougy, of Philadelphia.
