The Florists^ Review 



April 15, 1920 



WASKENQTON, D. 0. 



The Market. 



Stock continues to become more plen- 

 tiful and, naturally, prices have dropped 

 in many instances. There has been an 

 abundance of sweet peas and snapdrag- 

 ons. The carnation supply has also 

 shown a large increase; last week they 

 were selling as low as $4 and $5 per 

 hundred. The rose supply is satisfac- 

 tory and the quality of all varieties of 

 stock is good. Beauties brought $9 and 

 $12 per dozen, orchids $1 to $1.50 each, 

 Easter and calla lilies $3 per dozen and 

 valley cleaned up at $10 and $12 per 

 hundred. 



The plant trade fell off considerably 

 last week. 



Club Meeting, Boast and Dance. 



The Florists' Club held its monthly 

 meeting at Schmidt's hall, Tuesday, 

 April 6, and the new officers were in- 

 stalled. Sunday closing was declared 

 effective, beginning Sunday, April 11, 

 and many other important matters were 

 discussed. Mr. James, a carnation 

 grower from England, was present and 

 offered to give a talk on carnations and 

 roses and plans are under way to get 

 the growers together so that they can 

 benefit from Mr. James' experience 

 along their line. 



The oyster roast and dance, which 

 was held at Elks' hall Friday, April 9, 

 was voted a success by everyone; many 

 out-of-town florists expressed their re- 

 gret because they were unable to attend 

 the affair. Several leading members of 

 the trade were present and they are 

 getting together to start a movement 

 to put more pep into the club and to 

 have more outings and entertainments 

 this year. 



Various Notes. 



The Leo Niesscn Co. is receiving fine 

 cuts of roses, carnations and sweet peas 

 and expects to be receiving an excellent 

 cut of orchids for some time to come. 

 Out-of-town business was satisfactory 

 last week, several fine orders having 

 been shipped. G. V. S. 



Sycamore, 111.— William Swinbank 

 has sold his business to Martin Johnson, 

 who was for several years his assistant.
