The Florists' Review

NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Inclement weather several days last 

 week affected business adversely, espe- 

 cially transient trade. As a whole, the 

 florists' business in Newark is good for 

 this season of the year. There con- 

 tinues to be much funeral work and the 

 wedding season has arrived. Notwith- 

 standing the fact that the weather has 

 been cold, there is an abundance of 

 flowers in the market and the prices 

 are low. Eoses, which were scarce and 

 high, now are plentiful and cheap. Car- 

 nations and sweet peas are abundant. 

 Orchids are selling three for $1. Calla 

 lilies are quite plentiful, but the qual- 

 ity of some of those coming into the 

 market is not up to standard. Easter 

 lilies are arriving in good numbers and 

 are of good quality. Iris is rapidly 

 passing away. The blue and white va- 

 rieties have practically disappeared 

 and the yellow will last but a few days. 

 Lilacs have gone for this season. Peo- 

 nies are coming to their own, each week 

 seeing a larger quantity and a larger 

 variety. They sell readily at medium 

 prices. Gladioli are of fine quality and 

 more abundant. Snapdragons are suf- 

 ficient for the demand. Fine marigolds 

 are on sale and ragged sailors are plen- 

 tiful. Foliage plants are in great de- 

 mand and there still is a fair demand 

 for bedding plants, such as geraniums, 

 fuchsias, heliotropes, etc. Some of the 

 florists are closing out their last hardy 

 roses, and, although a little late in the 

 season, considerable numbers are being 

 sold. There is a fair demand for Bos- 

 ton and other ferns. 



Various Notes. 



The new Newafk directory lists the 

 names and addresses of fifty-six florists 

 and nurserymen. 



The company heretofore known as 

 Kimmerle & Minder, at 488 South 

 Orange avenue, now is Kimmerle, 

 Minder & Son. The company reports 

 good business. 



William Weismantel is bidding for 

 the graduation trade. He reports that 

 business has been good. No cut prices, 

 but fair proflts and quick sales, is his 

 motto. 



The Ivy Flower Shop reports a large 

 quantity of funeral work. Many orders 

 for wedding decorations have been 

 booked. 



Hutchinson's, of Elizabeth, are much 

 pleased with the general condition of 

 trade and report that it has been a 

 most satisfactory season. There has 

 been some graduation trade, but not so 

 much as a few years ago, before the 

 giving of flowers was prohibited at the 

 graduation exercises of some of the 

 schools. B. B. M. 



Slouz Falls, S. D. — Coleman the Flo- 

 rist is the successor to Joe Tossini, one 

 of Sioux Falls' pioneer florists. .Mr. 

 Coleman has remodeled the store and 

 made improvements at the range. Mr. 

 Tossini is retiring — "he brought home 

 the bacon," says Mr. Colemen.
