RESULTS ARE WHAT COUNT l 



WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1916; also WINNER of the SAME 

 MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis, 

 1916. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 3^ inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, 

 strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant 

 bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the Enchantress family. 



Price •[ 2-iick plants is $12.00 per 160, $100.00 per 1000.* We wiU biU SOO at the 1000 rate price.

While business continued good last 

 week, it was a lit^ quiet. Flowers 

 were plentiful, genjerally pf good qual- 

 ity and moderate ia price. Carnations 

 and sweet peas also were abundant and 

 cheap. Boses, especially ^ the long- 

 stemmed varieties, are coming in more 

 freely and are more reasonablein price 

 than for several weeks. Valley is of 

 good quality, fairly abundant and has 

 recovered from the slump in price that 

 existed , the previous two weeks; the 

 price now is about normal for this time 

 of the year. There was a large influx 

 of pansy plants in liaskets last week, 

 about 'the -fiist ^Jt^t have beea seen in 

 quantily for outsifie plantiiig. . Vio- 

 lets are plentiful, but nofi 'as a rule oi- 

 good quwity, being soft and not keep- 

 ing long. Spring flowers of all kinds 

 last week were arriving in large quan- 

 tities. Spiraea is more abundant and 

 of flrst-class grade. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Witheridge reports that with 

 the springlike weather has come a big 

 demand for flower and vegetable seeds. 



Peter Penek sti3.tes tjiat, while busi- 

 ness fell off somewhat during the last 

 two or thr^e weeks, .trade is fair for 

 this time of the year. 



Henry A. Strobell last week said he 

 expected a good Easter trade. 



Fred P. Wolfinger has had such a 

 lively trade that he can hardly believe 

 it is Lent. He thinks Newark's anni- 

 versary celebration, which will begin 

 within a few weeks, will help business. 

 He is on the main street where the 

 crowds will gather. 



Henry LetUiy, of Elizabeth, had a 

 unique half-page newspaper advertise- 

 ment last week. In large letters at 

 the top of the advertisement were these 

 words : '"' * We are mobilizing for a 

 Grand Effater Flower Sale. ' ' On the ex- 

 treme left and the extreme right were 

 pictures of pots of Easter lilies. In 

 the center was a photograph of the 

 store window, in front of which was a 

 long sign: *'Leahv, Telegraph Florist 

 of Elizabeth, N. X" To i;he right of 

 this were cut 'flewer suggestions and to 

 the left plant suggestions. The whole 

 made a neat and unusually drawing ad- 

 vertisement. 



The April meeting of the Essex 

 County Florists' Chib will be held this 

 week. Plans for the next flower show 

 will be discussed. B. B. M.
