The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 30, 1916. 



blockade the pavement and obstruct the 

 traffic and do their business anyhow. 

 A reform surely is nee de.d. 



The New York Florists turned their 

 windows into a Dutch garden last week. 

 It was ablaze with hyacinths, narcissi 

 and tulips. The number of people who 

 paused to admire it was a sure proof 

 of its efficiency. Efficiency beats ef- 

 fervescence; effervescence loses essence; 

 essence is the pith of business*. 



The local papers are having a fine 

 time with the enlarged advertisements 

 of the florists. 



Max Kaiser, of the Merriam Park 

 Greenhouses, probably has the best 

 stock of Easter plants he ever had. 

 Max does apply the "kultur. " 



[Last week hyacinths in pots were a 

 drag on the market. Carnations cost 

 from $1.50 to $4 per hundred, for good 

 whites. Spiraea plants are now; appear- 

 ing in the stores. They are always 

 more or less risky as a crop, as the 

 public are fickle as regards them.

USINGEB'S UTTERANCES. 



Wilson 's Flower Store, of Painesville, 

 O., had a splendid showing of plants 

 and cut flowers in baskets during my 

 visit. 



For the opening of the Western Re- 

 serve National Bank, of Warren, O., 

 about 4,500 carnations were furnished 

 by Adgate & Son. Several dozen large 

 plants in baskets "were being ' * dressed ' ' 

 when I called. 



C. R. Betts, of Meadville, Pa., will 

 move his retail store to Park avenue, 

 about April 1. 



H. J. Krueger, of Meadville, con- 

 templates adding two more 150-foot 

 houses to his range this spring. 



W. M. Deyoe & Co., of Oil City, Pa., 

 had a special window of orchids and 

 roses for the style show held there 

 last week. Business continues good, 

 keeping all hands busy. 



At the Kay-Dimond Co. store, of 

 Youngstown, O., business seems to be 

 just one design after another, keeping 

 the full force on the jump. 



The florists' windows of Erie, Pa., 

 did justice to St. Patrick March 17 by 

 their unique displays of blarney stones, 

 castles, Killarney's lakes, shamrocks 

 and snakes. The sale of shamrocks, 

 green carnations and other novelties 

 was good, most of the florists being sold 

 out early. 



L. A. Eaton & Sons, of Conneaut, O., 

 had a good showing of cinerarias, tulips 

 and Tiyacihths last week. Business is 

 f«ported aa being the best for years. 



Fischer & McGrath, of New Castle, 

 Pa., report that business continues 

 about the same. W. T. U.
