The Florists^ Review 



Afbil 29. 1920 



eats have been able to secure good 

 prices. Ophelia and Columbia is the 

 most plentiful, with Premier in good 

 supply and a good cut of Ward arriving. 



Carnations are improving and the 

 growers are working hard to have the 

 needed supply on hand for Mothers' 

 day. Laddie carnations have kept es- 

 pecially well and were used in a num- 

 ber of store decorations. Violets have 

 been scarce. Blooming pansy plants are 

 being offered by some of the florists, 

 but no cut stock has appeared. The cut 

 of orchids has been up to standard, 

 both in quality and quantity, with the 

 sale of the more expensive corsages tak- 

 ing up the supply easily, but gardenias 

 and lilies of the valley have been scarce. 

 There is a plentiful supply of calla and 

 Easter lUies and the sale of these has 

 been slow, so that a good share of these 

 flowers has been used in funeral work. 



Potted plants have been good sellers, 

 with primroses and cinerarias of the 

 brighter shades hard to get. Plenty of 

 hydrangeas are to be had. Some espe- 

 cially colorful shades of tulips have 

 been on the market and these have been 

 used freely in the baskets which have 

 been selling so well. Daffodils are plen- 

 tiful, but in slower demand as the sea- 

 son progresses. 



Various Notes. 



E. A. Fetters and Thomas Brown, of 

 Detroit, Mich., were guests of Dr. Wal- 

 ter A. Moore last week and George B. 

 Wiegand, of A. Wiegand's Sons Co., 

 Indianapolis, Ind., and Mrs. Wiegand 

 passed through this city on their way 

 home from California. 



William Goldsbary, of Kenney's 

 Home of Flowers, took advantage of 

 the showing at a local theater of the 

 picture "Everywoman" to feature a 

 card in his window with the inscription, 

 "Everywoman likes her sweetheart to 

 'Say It with Flowers' bought at this 

 store." An excellent photogn'aph of 

 the actress playing the part of "Every- 

 woman" in the film was shown on this 

 card and prospective customers were at- 

 tracted by the novelty. 



The Thomas Floral Co. has been send- 

 ing in some fine Ward roses and potted 

 watsonias and both have proved good 

 sellers. 



In recent window displays Rosaia 

 Bros, have gfrouped their central dis- 

 play about a mounted golden pheasant 

 and this colorful object furnished the 

 contrast needed for the lighter shades 

 of flowers grouped about it. 



Fred H. Eowe, of McCoy's, reports 

 further progress in the installation of 

 fixtures in the new store on Second ave- 

 nue. The greenhouses of this firm are 

 sending in the best red carnations seen 

 on the market and some fine Keizers- 

 kroon tulips. 



A wedding bouquet novelty, which 

 was originated by the Hollywood Gar- 

 dens and is now being commented on by 

 Vogue and other women's magazines, is 

 the use of a real ostrich fan to form the 

 holder for the bride's* and bridesmaids' 

 bouquets. 



Anna F. Burns, of the Burns Floral 

 Co., has been featuring small baskets 

 of potted flowers in bright colors, 

 flanked on either side by small ferns, in 

 her window displays and reports good 

 results in sales made to the different 

 ofiSce buildings. 



The Woodlawn Flower Shop reports 

 a big ran in basket trade, with home 

 decorations mainly of luncheon and 

 dinner-table canterpieces H. M.
