The Florists'' Review 



May 25, 1916. 



FOET WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



The weather last week was unseason- 

 ably cold, dark and unproductive, the 

 growers being unable to supply the nor- 

 mal quantity of cut flowers for the 

 local trade. Business was good, wed- 

 dings and funeral work predominating. 

 The bedding season is furnishing a big 

 demand for bedding plants and for all 

 kinds of bulbs and flowering shrubs. 

 This work is keeping the florists busy, 

 although the demand is expected to 

 be much greater with the advent of 

 warmer weather. Boses are only mod- 

 erately plentiful, but they are of splen- 

 did quality. The shorter-stemmed stock 

 is more plentiful than the long- 

 stemmed blooms, which bring $6 and $8 

 per hundred. There are Eussell, 

 Shawyer, Ophelia, Sunburst and Rich- 

 mond. American Beauties are poor of 

 quality and not in great demand, the 

 Russell and Shawyer roses supplanting 

 them in most instances. 



Carnations are in moderate supply 

 and prices hold up well. Miniature 

 gladioli are in the market and retail at 

 $1 per dozen. Some handsome an- 

 tirrhinums are seen in the retail shops. 

 Outdoor lilac is in and used extensively 

 for decorative effects in the local flower 

 stores. Deutzias, snowballs and spiraeas 

 are also available. May-flowering 

 tulips are in plentiful supply and the 

 quality is excellent. Yellow daisies are 

 abundant for corsages. Sweet peas are 

 not so plentiful as they have been, but 

 continue to sell well. Lilium longi- 

 florum is abundant and used consider- 

 ably in funeral work. Callas are in 

 moderate supply. 



Memorial day business is expected to 

 be good this year. It is doubtful 

 whether there will be any home-grown 

 peonies in the market, as the season is 

 too late. Snowballs and Spanish irises 

 will be in good supply, as well as tulips, 

 mignonette, primulas and stocks. 



There is a plentiful supply of smilax 

 and asparagus. Hardy greens are sell- 

 ing well. 



Various Notes. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey held their an- 

 nual sale of rose plants last week and 

 disposed of several thousands. They 

 are cutting some fine cattleyas and have 

 a fine crop of Shawyer and Sunburst 

 roses. 



Miss Mildred Flick, of the Flick 

 Floral Co., accompanied by her brothers, 

 spent last week at Toledo, 0., the guest 

 of Miss Helen Patten, of the Patten 

 Flower Shop. 



Visitors to the trade last week in- 

 cluded A. F. Longren, representing the 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co., of Chicago, and 

 I. M. Bayersdorfer, of Philadelphia.
