The Rorists' Review 



JVLT 6, 1916. 



has been extremely scarce, and when it 

 is to be had it sells at $10 per hundred. 

 Orchids are almost as scarce as valley. 

 White orchids have been in large de- 

 mand recently; so have orange blos- 

 soms. Since valley is so scarce, many 

 patrons select white sweet peas for 

 their wedding bouquets, and these make 

 up prettily. Baby gladioli are getting 

 scarce. Greens were in ample supply 

 last week, but the reverse is true this 

 week. Asparagus is limited in quan- 

 tity. 



Various Notes.

The Market. 



There was much activity in the mar- 

 ket last week. June weddings and 

 funeral work created a lively demand. 

 The weather has been exceptionally 

 warm. Carnations continue plentiful, 

 but they are showing the effects of 

 the extreme heat. Koses are in large 

 supply, but they are only of medium 

 quality. The Killarneys are showing 

 the strain of the hot weather more 

 than any other variety. Shawyer, Eus- 

 sell, Ophelia, Sunburst, Ward and Rich- 

 mond are holding up well. The peony 

 season is about over; there are only a 

 few on the local market at present. 

 Easter lilies are of good quality. Lilium 

 giganteum and auratum, or the Golden 

 Band lily, are of good quality. Daisies 

 were seen on the market last week. 

 Fine outdoor flowers, including gaillar- 

 dias, delphiniums, larkspurs and fox- 

 gloves, were in large supply. Hy- 

 drangea arborescens is in bloom and is 

 used largely in decorative work. 



Various Notes.

Lebanon, Pa. — Since the demise of 

 J. F. Vavrous, which occurred February 

 24, the "ampersand" in the company 

 name, J. F. Vavrous & Sons, has been 

 superfluous. Hence the sons last month 

 corrected it to J. F. Vavrous' Sons. 



Columbus, Neb. — A small range of 

 houses is being erected by the Purity 

 Drug Co. W. A. Goodwin is in charge 

 of the side line, which, as frequently 

 happens, may become the main line 

 some day. Each year sees an increase 

 in the number of druggist-florists in 

 the country.
