The Florists^ Review 



Mat 25, 1916. 



BUFFALO. 



Tlie Market. 



Does advertising pay? The much- 

 mooted question found an emphatic an- 

 swer in the affirmative in the business 

 done for Mothers' day. The day was 

 advertised and the returns therefrom 

 were large. If any other holiday, Easter 

 for instance, should be given as much 

 publicity as Mothers' day, its business 

 would be much larger. One florist re- 

 ported that his Mothers' day business 

 increased seventy-five per cent; some 

 say fifty per cent and others say twen- 

 ty-five per cent. 



Beauties last week were sufficient for 

 the demand, but the quality left much 

 to be desired. All lengths are avail- 

 able. Other varieties of roses are clear- 

 ing daily. Francis Scott Key and 

 Ophelia are in large demand. White 

 Killarney is somewhat scarce, which is 

 largely due to the many wedding deco- 

 rations and funeral pieces. Carnations 

 have been out of the running entirely, 

 but now are slowly recuperating from 

 the Mothers' day clean-up. It does not 

 seem to be one color that is scarce, but 

 all varieties and colors. In spite of the 

 increased supply of sweet peas, these 

 are clearing daily. Lilies were rather 

 scarce last week and callas have been 

 substituted until they have become 

 scarce. 



Valley is again on the short side, 

 selling at $6 per hundred. The supply 

 of cattleyas is increasing, but the de* 

 mand takes these as they arrive. Peo- 

 nies are plentiful, but as yet they have 

 cut no great figure in the market. Snap- 

 dragons, irises, daisies, calendulas and 

 gladioli were life-savers of the week. 

 Pansies are inclined to drag; baskets 

 of these are in the market. Lilac, both 

 white and lavender, is scarce, but the 

 demand is not any too encouraging. 

 Greens of all kinds are sufficient. 



Vaxions Notes. 



J. J. Karins, with Henry A. Dreer, 

 Philadelphia, stopped off at Buffalo last 

 week while returning from a six weeks ' 

 journey. He reports that business is 

 more than good. F. G. Nelson, of the 

 Burlington Willow Ware Shops, Bur- 

 lington, la., was a recent visitor. 



W. J. Palmer & Son had a large wed- 

 ding decoration last week consisting 

 of white lilacs and lavender snapdrag- 

 ons, with cibotiums as a background. 



William Ehmann, of Corfu, is pick- 

 ing some splendid America gladioli, 

 which finds a ready market. A. E. 



Butte, Mont. — Victor Siegel soon will 

 celebrate his nineteenth year as head 

 gardener of the Columbia Gardens.
