The Florists' Review 



Apbii. 22, li,20 



cated confidence in the permanence of 

 the condition. 



Miss L. Lambly, of the American 

 Flower Store, Birmingham, Ala., spent 

 several days in this market last week. 

 Largest of her numerous purchases was 

 a new Bando display refrigerator. 



Among the week's visitors is W. 

 Cleveland Johnson, secretary and treas- 

 urer of Johnson's Greenhouses, Mem> 

 phis, Tenn. Mr. Johnson is a rather fre- 

 quent visitor, but this time his errand 

 is of unusual importance. He has se- 

 cured the lease of a 3-story building al- 

 most double the width of the present 

 store and located only a few doors away, 

 He plans to fit the new quarters up in 

 first-class style during the summer and 

 to be ready by autumn with one of the 

 most completely equipped and most 

 thoroughly modern retail flower stores 

 in the south. 



BOOHESTES, N. Y. 



Tlie Market. 



The market has been seriously handi- 

 capped during the last week by the 

 switchmen's strike, but, fortunately, 

 the express service resumed its regular 

 activities at the end of the week and 

 the termination of the trouble appears 

 to be in sight. Many out-of-town grow- 

 ers, living at a distance of twenty to 

 thirty mUes, were obliged to deliver 

 their stock by automobile and this, com* 

 bined with the weather, made things 

 bad. 



Business throughout this section has 

 been poor for at least a week. Since 

 the heavy rush at Easter trade has not 

 been good and, were it not for funeral 

 work, stock would not have moved as 

 it did. A good shpply of stock has ar- 

 rived daily from the local growers, all 

 of which has moved satisfactorily. 



Boses have possibly stood in first 

 place and include Columbia, Dunlop, 

 Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty, Ward, Sun- 

 burst, Martinet and Killamey. Bulb- 

 ous stock, which had a remarkable 

 season and has sold at good prices, is 

 slowing up a little now and does not 

 move so readily. There is a large supply 

 of Easter lilies on the market, with only 

 a medium demand. Callas are also plen- 

 tiful. Sweet peas are in fair demand 

 and the supply is large. Carnations are 

 plentiful and sell well. They are excep- 

 tionally fine this season and retain their 

 good qualities. Violets are not so good, 

 nor is the demand large. Orchids and 

 gardenias move slowly. Daisies, mig- 

 nonette, calendulas, freesias, pansies 

 and forget-me-nots are all in good de- 

 mand and sell well. Green goods are 

 more plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Berg, of Lion & Co., New York, 

 and S. W. Morgan, of Le Boy, N. Y., 

 were visitors last week. 



The carnation house of Harry Merritt, 

 Summerville boulevard, is well filled 

 with flowers and during the months of 

 February, March and April has been a 

 paying proposition. His cuts during 

 Easter week were enormous, considering 

 the size of the house. There will be sev- 

 eral thousand more blooms before the 

 plants are taken out and planted in the 

 field. 



George B. Hart is cutting a fine crop 

 of Ophelia roses at the Fairport green- 

 houses each day. They have excellent 

 color and sell well. He has a fine crop
