The FIorists*~Review 



Mabch 16, 1916. 



there will be corresponding shading of 

 values. Lent, too, is proving a greater 

 menace to the market than for many- 

 years and the retailers are complain- 

 ing. 



American Beauties have taken quite 

 a tumble. March 11 40 cents each 

 was top figure for the best of them. 

 Hadley ran a tie with American 

 Beauty. Prima Donna, Ophelia, Kil- 

 larney Brilliant and Hoosier Beauty 

 also were in demand at good prices. 

 The lower grades of roses held quota- 

 tions the most steadily and were in 

 best demand. The finest carnations 

 did not go above 3 cents last week and 

 $20 per thousand was the quotation in 

 large quantities for any but the novel- 

 ties. Nothing sold under $10 per thou- 

 sand, however. Top for valley was $4. 

 The low grades are now falling into the 

 hands of the street merchants. There 

 is a tremendous supply of longiflorum 

 lilies and most of them are deficient in 

 quality. A few sold at 10 cents last 

 week, but most of them went at 6 cents 

 and under. Many orders are being 

 booked at 10 cents for Easter. Callas 

 are abundant and prices are lower 

 than for many weeks. 



Cattleyas are holding well at the 

 quotations of the last few weeks. 

 Schr^ederse is hard to move. Gardenias 

 have fallen to $2 per dozen. The crop 

 is on. Freesia has had its day. The 

 supply is much smaller. The market 

 last week was not overburdened with 

 tulips, narcissi or daffodils. Sweet 

 peas have to be long-stemmed and per- 

 fect to attract buyers. Violets hold 

 steady at low prices, as supply and 

 demand seem to harmonize. There are 

 plenty of daisies, pansies, mignonette, 

 lilac and the other spring flowers and 

 flowering shrubs. 



Club Meeting. 



The meeting of the Florists' Club, 

 March 13, was enthusiastic and well at- 

 tended, over 100 being present, Presi- 

 dent Weston in the chair. 



William Thurston, Charles P. Dudley, 

 Henry W. Thomas and D. C. Arnold 

 were elected to membership, and Albert 

 Lahodney, of Eockville Center; Dennis 

 Kenna, of Brooklyn; Cecil Davis, of 

 Flushing, and John E. Walsh were pro- 

 posed. 



An interesting discussion as to the 

 club's invitation to the S. A. F. to hold 

 its convention in New York in 1917 

 was opened by J. G. Esler and partici- 

 pated in by Wallace Pierson, R. Koehne, 

 Alex. J. Guttman, John Young, Alex. 

 Burns, C. H. Totty, A. L. Miller, W. H. 

 Siebreeht, F. H. Traendly, H. A. Bun- 

 yard, Max Schling, W. A. Manda, Pat- 

 rick O'Mara and others, after which 

 the motion to invite the society was 

 unanimously carried. Discussion as to 

 the wisdom of elaborate entertainment 

 and the expression of various opinions 

 as to the best interests of the society 

 were features of the evening. 



A. L. Miller reported final arrange- 

 ments for the trip to Philadelphia March 

 28 and T. B. De Forest reported on 

 the arrangements for the annual dinner 

 April 28. 



The ex-presidents of the club have 

 founded an association and arrived late 

 at the meeting after their first dinner, 

 at Castle Cave. The organizers were 

 Alex. Bums, P. O'Mara, C. H. Totty, W. 

 F. Sheridan, F. H. Traendly, W. H.
