The Florists' Review 



Mabch 23, 1916. 



FOET WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Brisk business has characterized the 

 last week. Stock has increased, owing 

 to the mild weather and several days 

 of sunshine. Bulbous stock in great 

 variety is conspicuous on the market. 

 White roses in all lengths are plentiful. 

 Orchids, gardenias and sweet peas are 

 abundant and of excellent quality. 

 These are nearly all from local green- 

 houses, as few flowers are shipped into 

 this city. Violets are becoming scarce. 

 Lilies continue in excellent supply and 

 are used extensively for funeral work, 

 which has been heavy during the last 

 week. Green carnations for St. 

 Patrick's day sold at good prices and 

 in large quantities. Shamrocks also 

 sold well. 



Many florists are holding special 

 sales of cut flowers and ferns during 

 the Lenten season, in order to stimulate 

 trade in the retail stores. The windows 

 of the flower stores present an attrac- 

 tive appearance, witii their combina- 

 tions of new spring baskets and spring 

 flowers, besides the great variety of 

 blooming plants, which are selling well. 

 There is a supply of fine pansy plants 

 on the market. Lilacs are over, but 

 there are many antirrhinums, English 

 daisies and mignonette. 



Various Notes. 



Herman H. Leitz, of the New Haven 

 Floral Co., New Haven, Ind., was a 

 visitor to this city last week, looking 

 over the stock of the largest growers. 

 Mr. Leitz ht^d just returned from a 

 week's trip * to Chicago, where he vis- 

 ited Poehlmann Bros. Co. and several 

 other large concerns. His firm is busy 

 planting the young rose stock in the 

 two new houses, 28x232. Ophelia, Kil- 

 lamey and Russell will be the varieties 

 grown this year. 



Miss Margaret Vesey has just been 

 elected president of the Duodecimo 

 Club, a prominent literary club of this 

 city. Some fine Cattleya labiata are 

 being cut at the Vesey greenhouses; 

 also gardenias and some splendid 

 Shawyer roses. 



Miss Marguerite Flick, of the Flick 

 Floral Co., went to Kendallville, Ind., 

 last week with an elaborate funeral 

 order and decoration, which included 

 several large baskets of Easter lilies 

 and Richmond and Shawyer roses. 



George Pandell, a Greek florist who 

 has been in business for several years 

 on the north side of Calhoun street, has 

 just been made manager of the Fort 

 Wayne Flower Shop, which started 

 business February 1. This is a cut-rate 

 store and sells shipped flowers exclu- 

 sively, advertising on a large scale in 

 the daily papers. 



Markey Bros, have been exceedingly 

 busy with large funeral orders. R. F.

 Wood Sides. 



'VES, we do build some wood 

 sides; but concrete costs so 

 little more, if actually any more, 

 that fully 75 per cent are now 

 being built that way.

But if you do want board sides, 

 - this illu^itration shows you exact- 

 ly how we construct them. The 

 wrought iron side post you must, 

 of course, bed in a concrete foot- 

 ing. It's the surest way of mak- 

 ing it solid and preventing sags 

 and a wobbly looking eave line. 



Before making up your mind 

 to build a Half Iron Frame House, 

 just let us tell you full particu- 

 lars of the full iron frame. Per- 

 haps it may, after all, fill your 

 needs better.

 we go anywhere for business.
