The Florists' Review 



JCNB 15, 1916. 



I, -POET WAYNE, IND.- 



The Market. 



The weather last week was unfavor- 

 able to the florists' business. There was 

 almost a continual rain from Monday 

 morning until Saturday noon, with the 

 result that centennial week, for which 

 great preparations had been made, was 

 exceedingly poor as far as business was 

 concerned. Counter trade was exceed- 

 ingly slow, despite the many out-of-town 

 visitors in the city. The pageant, rep- 

 resenting the history of Indiana and 

 Fort Wayne, was postponed several 

 nights and the industrial exposition, in 

 which many of the local florists had 

 booths, was so poorly attended that the 

 merchants have extended the time of 

 their exhibits to this week. 



Wedding work was good last week 

 and there were decorations for recep- 

 tions and a goodly quantity of funeral 

 work. School graduation exercises, as 

 usual, are creating a demand. 



Stock of all kinds is exceedingly 

 plentiful. Peonies are the flowers most- 

 ly in evidence at present, the retail 

 stores displaying them to fine advantage 

 in window decorations. They sell at $1 

 per dozen. Eoses are plentiful and of 

 superb quality. The short and medium 

 lengths meet with a better demand than 

 the select grades. American Beauties 

 are scarce. Carnations are of fine qual- 

 ity for this season of the year, due prin- 

 cipally to the cool weather. Giganteum 

 lilies and callas are plentiful and bring 

 $8 and $10 per hundred. Snapdragons 

 are good and retail at 75 cents to $1 

 per dozen. Gladioli bring $1 per dozen. 

 Cattleyas are in fine supply and are of- 

 fered at $1 to $1.25 each. The supply of 

 sweet peas is moderate, and the outdoor 

 flowers are in large supply. Yellow dai- 

 sies, forget-me-nots, German iris, pan- 

 sies, sweet Williams and oriental poppies 

 are plentiful. Green goods of all kinds 

 are in large demand. 



Various Notes. 



The annual flower festival of the Fort 

 Wayne normal school will be given Sat- 

 urday, June 17, at 3:30 p. m.

 pageant as a dancing girl in the Irish 

 group of ballet dancers. Mr. and Mrs. 

 Aaron Shive, Mr. and Mrs. Richard 

 Blossom and Misses Mildred and Alice 

 Flick motored to Rockf ord, O., last Sun- 

 day. The Flick Floral Co. has a number 

 of large wedding orders booked for this 

 week. 



Judge W. J. Vesey, Miss Margaret 

 Vesey and Mr. and Mrs. Will Vesey, Jr., 

 left June 12 for Delaware, O., where 

 they will attend the commencement

 sity, from which Miss Catherine Vesey 

 will be graduated. R. F.
