The Florists' Review 



March 2, 1016. 



FOET WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Sunshine has increased the supply of 

 flowers, especially in bulbous stock. 

 Eoses still are insufficient to meet the 

 demand. Russell, Shawyer, Sunburst, 

 Ophelia, Killarney and Richmond pre- 

 dominate. White roses are hard to 

 obtain. Carnations are more plentiful, 

 a large number of buds opening under 

 the steady sunshine. In bulbous stock, 

 tulips are great favorites and move 

 quickly. Poeticus narcissus and jon- 

 quils are in good demand. JPreesias are 

 used extensively for corsage work, 

 while forget-me-nots, primroses, sweet 

 peas and swainsonas are used in con- 

 junction with the smaller varieties of 

 roses, such as Aaron Ward and Sweet- 

 hea.rt roses, for colonial bouquets, 

 which are popular now for weddings. 

 Valley was exceedingly scarce last 

 week, one florist being able to obtain 

 only a small quantity of Canadian val- 

 ley. Violets are plentiful and sell well. 

 Cattleyas are in good supply and bloom- 

 ing plants have been selling well since 

 Valentine's day, the heavy advertis- 

 iiig evidently being a stimulus to this 

 line. The growers are busy planning 

 and preparing for Easter, which re- 

 quires special forethought this year on 

 account of its lateness. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Rhoda Doswell is in St. liouis 

 this week in the interests of the Dos- 

 well Floral Co. This concern is whole- 

 saling some fine single violets and is 

 cutting a heavy line of bulbous stock, 

 carnations and sweet peas. 



A. J. Lanternier has finished remodel- 

 ing his store at 1018 Calhoun street. 

 The store was enlarged and redecorated 

 and new office fixtures and tables were 

 installed. 



Herbert Zur Muhlen, of the Auger 

 Flower Shop, discontinued his business 

 March 1 on account of his inability to 

 renew his lease. 



The Flick Floral Co. had the decora- 

 tion and bouquets for a large wedding 

 last week. Southern smilax, roses and 

 spring flowers were used in great quan- 

 tities. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey are cutting fine 

 Shawyer, Ophelia and Sunburst roses, 

 but have not nearly enough of them 

 to supply the heavy demand. A large 

 shipment of orchid plants was received 

 by this firm last week. 



Visitors to the trade last week were 

 Thomas Knight, of the Knight & 

 Struck Co., New York; 0. C. Justus, 

 representing the Kemper-Thomas Co., 

 Cincinnati, O.; Robert Greenlaw, of the 

 8. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia.
