The Florists' Review

NEWABK, N. J. 



The Market. 



There was a large sale of bedding 

 plants last week. Thousands of baskets 

 of pansy plants were brought into the 

 market and sold. Potted geranium 

 plants ■ are more plentiful than they 

 have been, as well as potted heliotropes, 

 double petunias, etc. Rambler roses 

 have been popular. Both yellow and 

 white daisies have been plentiful and 

 have sold well. Forget-me-nots were 

 more abundant during the last week or 

 ten days than at any other time this 

 season. There are some irises in the 

 market, but they are not at all plen- 

 tiful. Primulas, snapdragons and be- 

 gonias are in considerable demand. 

 Sweet peas are as popular as ever and 

 large quantities of them are sold. Their 

 quality is fine and their prices reason- 

 able. 



Carnations were of excellent quality 

 last week. Whites brought a high price 

 for Mothers' day, making $8 per hun- 

 dred. The high prices of carnations on 

 special occasions of late have caused 

 much unfavorable talk on the part of 

 the retailers. 



Purple lilacs now are coming in abun- 

 dantly. There is but little of the white 

 variety seen in the market here. Val- 

 ley is of fine quality. 



Various Notes. 



W. B. James reports business as be- 

 ing good. As a part of his window dis- 

 play last week he had a window box 

 filled with flowers and painted in the 

 city's anniversary colors, orange and 

 black. 



Richard Youell has returned from a 

 two weeks' stay at his summer home at 

 Atlantic Highlands, where he went for 

 a short rest following the Easter season. 



Joseph D. Kroehl, Jr., has been con- 

 fined to his home for the last three 

 weeks with an attack of rheumatism. 



M. Gahr has moved from 311 Spring- 

 field avenue across the street to 312. 

 The new quarters are larger than the 

 former and are unusually well lighted 

 by means of a skylight in the rear. 



Charles Luthy finds business slow 

 compared with what it was before 

 Easter. His Easter business was ex- 

 ceptionally good, however, only one 

 plant remaining of his large Easter 

 stock. R. B. M. 



Las Animas, Colo. — A. C. Hartman 

 says the season now drawing to an end 

 is the best within his experience, the 

 spring trade having been particularly 

 good. Easter was satisfactory, the de- 

 mand for plants and cut flowers being 

 about even.
