The Florists' Review 



Mabch 2, 1916. 



BOCHESTEB, N. T. 



The Market. 



The report of the week shows that 

 business was fair. . For Washington's 

 birthday trade there was plenty of 

 stock and every florist was busy for the 

 occasion. Toward the end of the week 

 business dropped oflF a little. Prices re- 

 main about as usual. The supply of 

 roses meets all demands, but, as usual, 

 the short-stemmed stock is not plentiful 

 and the demand for it is large. There 

 appears to be a steady call for the 

 better grades of roses. The red vari- 

 eties sold well last week. Carnations 

 are plentiful and range in price from $2 

 to $3 per hundred. There is a good 

 supply of callas daily, but Easter lilies 

 are not so far advanced. Valley is of 

 good quality and there is a fair demand 

 for it, even at the advanced price of $5 

 per hundred. Orchids are not over- 

 plentiful, but they meet the demand. 

 Cut bulbous stock is plentiful and used 

 considerably in funeral work. Tulips 

 in white and yellow. Paper Whites, Bo- 

 man hyacinths ^md single and double 

 daffodils sell well. Violets are good 

 and are disposed of fairly well. Sweet 

 peas are used more for corsage work 

 and good stock is seen in pink, white 

 and lavender. Lilacs move slowly. Ca- 

 lendulas sell fairly well, but the demand 

 is not large. Pussy willows sell easily 

 and are a great attraction. Greenery 

 of all kinds is scarce. Blossoming plants 

 sell splendidly. 



Various Notes. 



John Dunbar, assistant superintend- 

 ent of parks, was a recent visitor to 

 St. Thomas, Out, where he addressed 

 the St. Thomas Horticultural Society 

 on "The Influence of Public Parks on 

 Civic Life." 



H. E. Wilson reports a good business 

 on Washington's birthday. Booming 

 plants sold nicely during the week and 

 there was a large quantity of funeral 

 work. 



W. A. Elder, of the Lord & Bum- 

 ham Co. Rochester office, has returned 

 from the Boston office and will be, as 

 formerly, with the Rochester branch. 

 He is on a business trip through west- 

 ern New York. 



The Rochester Floral Co. reports good 

 business during the last few weeks. 

 This company is advertising the dollar 

 box of flowers as a Saturday special. 

 The plan brings good results. 



The Lord & Burnham Co., H. E. Bates 

 manager of the Rochester branch, re- 

 ports unusual business along all lines 

 during the last several months. In- 

 quiries for big houses greatly exceed 

 those of last year. 



George Hampton, of the J. G. Neid- 

 inger Co., Philadelphia, was a recent 

 visitor. 



George T. Boucher reports business 

 as being brisk. He has been busy of 

 late with several decorations. At the 

 forthcoming police ball Mr. Boucher ex- 

 pects to use 1,000 palms and potted 

 plants, and about twenty-five cases of 

 wild smilax. H. J. H.
