The Florists' Review 



FSBBDABY 3, 1916. 



THE GREATEST QUALITY WE'VE EVER SHOWN! 

 THE GREATEST QUANTITY WE'VE EVER NADE! 

 THE GREATEST VALUE WE'VE EVER GIVEN! 



The tremendous growth of our basket business is due to just two things — the Quality 

 and the Price. 



When you buy your baskets from the Neidinger Co. you can feel satisfied that you 

 have bought the best and paid the least. 



If you have never bought any baskets from the Neidinger Co., let us convince you on 

 our small cut flower baskets for St. Valentine's Day. 



They range in price from $1.50 per dozen to $6.00 per dozen.

The Market. 



Graduations, weddings and funerals 

 kept the trade exceptionally busy last 

 week with decorations. Counter trade 

 also was active. The shortage of help 

 owing to illness has been one of the big 

 problems we have had to face. The 

 weather has been exceptionally mild 

 for January, and has helped stock some. 

 Flowers have been a little more plen- 

 tiful, but the consignments are not any 

 heavier than the trade demands. There 

 was a heavy demand for roses during 

 the week, especially in the red and pink 

 varieties. White and yellow have sold 

 well. Orchid sweet peas in pink and 

 white are arriving in fine condition and 

 they sell rapidly. Cattleyas and cypri- 

 pediums are fairly plentiful and sell 

 nicely. Gardenias are not at all plen- 

 tiful. Calla lilies are good but not too 

 plentiful, for funeral work has taken 

 most of them. Valley, for which there 

 is no special demand, is not abundant. 

 Yellow and white daisies sold well dur- 

 ing the week. Mignonette and baby 

 primula are good sellers. Jonquils are 

 plentiful and sell quickly. Paper Whites 

 are arriving in larger consignments and 

 are of good quality. Carnations are 

 coming in heavily, which at this time 

 is a boon and a blessing. Freesias and 

 cornflowers make a pleasing combina-

tion for corsage work. Single and 

 double violets have sold fairly well, 

 the singles at a higher price. Roman 

 hyacinths and pansies are disposed of 

 quite easily. The supply of green goods 

 meets all demands. Oalax and magnolia 

 leaves have been used extensively dur- 

 ing the last week or two. 



Various Notes. 



H. E. Wilson, with his force, put in 

 a busy week. The high school grad- 

 uation bouquets, of which there were 

 about forty, were made of Hoosier 

 Beauty and Francis Scott Key roses, 

 and for another school there were about
