The Florists' Review 



Mat 25, 1916. 



The best circulation can be secured if 

 the flow pipes run downhill, with just 

 enough slope so that they can free 

 themselves of air. It will also be help- 

 ful if the expansion tank is connected 

 with the highest point in each of the 

 flow pipes.

The Market. 



The market continues to be largely a 

 sellers' market and conditions have not 

 changed much. The weather continues 

 cold and rainy and this is making the 

 stock scarcer than ever. Present con- 

 ditions indicate that the supply of car- 

 nations for Memorial day will not equal 

 that for Mothers' day, but that the 

 quality will show some improvement. 

 The crop of roses is excellent and the 

 quantity is large enough to meet all 

 demands. Bed carnations and red roses 

 are, of course, hard to supply, as this 

 color is more in . demand than usual. 

 The supply will be limited. The sale 

 of spring stock has been unusually brisk 

 and the stock is already cleaning up on 

 some kinds. 



Memorial day business should show a 

 good increase over that of last year, 

 and the only reason that it may not do 

 80 will be the extreme scarcity of 

 stock. Owing to the strike of the ex- 

 press employees in Chicago last week, 

 diflaculty was experienced in filling or- 

 ders for greens, as a large part of the 

 local supply comes from the south. 



While there were some fine peonies in 

 the market last week, the stock is mov- 

 ing only fairly well. There undoubt- 

 edly will be a big demand for this 

 stock, however, for Memorial day, be- 

 cause after the supply of roses and 

 carnations has been ordered up there 

 still will be a large gap to be filled, 

 and peonies will be the natural solu- 

 tion. Some fine outdoor tulips are be- 

 ing disposed of easily at fair prices, 

 and tliese also will cut a big figure in 

 Memorial day sales. 



The trade in general has had an ex- 

 ceptionally good spring season. After 

 the .coming holiday, everyone will wel- 

 come a lightening of the tension under 

 which he has been laboring for the 

 entire season.
