The Florists^ Review 



May 18, 1916. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



Business was heavy here for Mothers' 

 day. While white carnations were in 

 great demand, there were not so many 

 orders for them booked ahead, which 

 was well, as a white carnation was the 

 one flower that was not much in evi- 

 dence. There was a large crop of roses, 

 with valley from outdoors. Sweet pea?, 

 lilies and roses were especially fine, and 

 when the people saw there was little 

 chance pf getting white carnations they 

 went after anything. From all reports, 

 each item was cleaned up in fine shape. 



There was a good lot of potted plants 

 that came in for a share of the busi- 

 ness, such as hydrangeas, spiraeas, tube- 

 roses, begonias, potted roses and even 

 geraniums. There were a number of 

 porch boxes ordered up for the occa- 

 sion — it was not a day for white car- 

 nations alone. 



The trade is exceedingly busy with 

 bedding plants, porch boxes, etc., and 

 most of the florists are swamped with 

 work. Geraniums are in great demand 

 and there are more of them than ever 

 before. Everyone reports business 

 heavy, with a number of June weddings 

 looming up to keep things moving after 

 planting time. J. M. 



LANCASTER, PA. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Lancaster Florists' and Gardeners' Em- 

 ployees' Fraternity was held at the 

 Chamber of Commerce rooms with a 

 good attendance. Seven new members 

 were admitted, increasing the member- 

 ship to sixty. 



Prof. John Weimer addressed the 

 members on "Fraternity" and Alphius 

 Peters, • who attended the National 

 Flower Show at Philadelphia as a dele- 

 gate of the association, gave a splendid 

 report. Mr. Peters firmly believes that 

 Lancaster county carnations can not be 

 beaten. 



John Weiss, L. Brenner, E. Geiter, H. 

 Brenner and A. Peters, the committee 

 to arrange the Grand Flower Festival, 

 to be held May 27, at Third and Coral 

 streets, Lancaster, submitted a favor- 

 able report. The festival will be held 

 for the benefit of the death fund of the 

 society. A special meeting of the soci- 

 ety will be held May 23 for the final 

 arrangements of the festival. 



Long Branch, N. J. — Walter Lind- 

 hart, of the firm of Lindhart & Sode- 

 mann, welcomed the arrival of a male 

 heir at his home April 23. 



Morristown, N. J. — ^The members of 

 the Morris County Florists' and Gar- 

 deners' Association will assist in the 

 flower show to be given by the Garden 

 Club in June.
