The Florists^ Review 



May 4, 1916. 



OHATTANOOOA, TENN. 



The Market. 



The weather has been good during 

 the last two weeks and business has 

 been satisfactory. The demand has been 

 far ahead of the supply. Easter was 

 the largest Chattanooga ever had. 

 Florists had all they could do and sold 

 out clean on lilies and pot plants, which 

 were in good supply. 



Various Notes. 



The Forest Hills Cemetery company 

 is moving the houses purchased from 

 the Chattanooga Floral Co. last fall to 

 its range at the cemetery. Business is 

 reported to be satisfactory. 



W. F. Haeger is planting two houses 

 to Russell roses. The work is nearly 

 completed. 



Mrs. J. W. Crouch has a fine supply 

 of bedding stock that is nioving rapidly. 



The funeral of John A. Patton last 

 week saw the largest floral display ever 

 turned out in this city. The business 

 was well divided among the retailers. 



G. A. K. 



MOLINE, B. ISLAND, DAVENPORT. 



The Market. 



Business last week was a little slow, 

 but Easter had used up some of the 

 available supply of cut flowers. There 

 was no overabundance of cut flowers, 

 except possibly roses, which were in 

 heavy supply and lower in price. Car- 

 nations barely filled the demand. Daf- 

 fodils are near their end and tulips are 

 about out of the market. Sweet peas 

 are plentiful but selling well at a mod- 

 erate price. Lilies also are plentiful and 

 their prices are lower. Potted plants 

 continue in good demand and sell 

 readily. 



Various Notes. 



Ludwig Stapp, of Rock Island, will 

 finish glazing his three new houses in 

 a few days and expects to plant to roses 

 immediately. 



Henry Gaethje, of Rock Island, has 

 a splendid Magnolia Soulangeana at the 

 entrance to his greenhouses. It stands 

 about fifteen feet high and has several 

 thousand blossoms. Mr. Gaethje reports 

 that his Easter business was a record- 

 breaker, having sold out of cut flowers 

 completely and most of the potted 

 plants. 



Forber & Bird, of Davenport, had the 

 misfortune of badly smashing their de- 

 livery car last week. The machine 

 skidded into a curb, breaking both front 

 wheels, the windshield and lights. The 

 driver was unhurt. W. G.
