The Florists' Review 



AcaosT 81, leiO. 



FOBT WAY17E, IND. 



Tbe Market. 



Business during the last two weeks 

 was exceedingly quiet, a condition laid 

 to the intense heat. The only activity 

 seemed to be funeral work and an oc- 

 casional wedding. A cool wave, how- 

 ever, arrived August 26. 



The supply of cut flowers has been 

 far from plentiful this summer, a fact 

 that is principally charged to the un- 

 favorable weather. Gladioli are more 

 abundant than any other flower at pres- 

 ent and good varieties are to be had. 

 Asters are not to be reckoned with, as 

 they are poor in quality and few in 

 numbers. Dahlias also are poor and 

 scarce this year. Hoses are good, for 

 summer flowers. The first carnations 

 from the young plants are coming in. 

 Easter lilies are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The New Haven Floral Co., of New 

 Haven, Ind., is sending some good car- 

 nations to this market. Its asters and 

 White Killarney roses also are finding 

 a market here. 



Frank J. Knecht & Co. are cutting 

 good Bussell roses. 



Miss Bhoda Doswell, of the Doswell 

 Floral Co., has returned from a two 

 weeks' vacation at Winona Lake, Ind. 



A visitor last week was D. Geddis, 

 representing the cut flower department 

 of Vandervoort 's, of St. Louis, Mo. 



Misses Margaret and Catherine Vesey 

 are making an extended western trip, 

 touring Yellowstone park and visiting 

 relatives at Livingston, Mont. 



Miss Mildred Flick has returned from 

 a three weeks' vacation at Portland, 

 Me., and Boston, Mass. She was accom- 

 panied by her aunt, Miss C. B. Flick, 

 of Toledo, O. 



Mr. and Mrs. Bichard Blossom are

The Market. 



The cool weather of the last two 

 weeks has been a great help to the crops 

 of asters and gladioli, and these now 

 come in plentifully and of fairly good 

 quality. Boses still show marks of the 

 hot weather and are hard to obtain in 

 the better grades. Short-stemmed stock 

 seems plentiful. 



Carnations are almost off the mar- 

 ket, excepting a few from the new 

 stock. Easter lilies are not good and 

 the price is too much for the quality. 

 As a whole, business is not so good as 

 everybody would like to have it. Sev- 

 eral large weddings will take place the 

 first of September and should give a 

 good start to the fall trade. 



Various Notes. 

 The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. has 

 all but two houses of its carnations 

 benched. 



Eli Cross has a good crop of new 

 roses coming in.

 ten us about this feature. Direct delivery from

Field if HoUyhwb Saved in December 



Mr. Alexander Klokner, of Wauwa- 



tosa. Wis., yrrites us the following 



interestipg letter: 



"How the Skinner System saved a 



I field of hollyhocks. They usually , 

 get winter killed. If not covered with 

 snow from early December until 

 March. Ou a cold day, in absence 

 of snow, in tiying to save them, I 

 turned the in gation on them. In 

 about an hour they were literally 

 covered with Ire; then we scattered 

 leaves over the ice, some more water 

 was turned on the leaves; that 

 formed a hard < rust over the p'ants. 

 which was cold and sun-proof. Of 

 course, I had the pleasure of seeing 

 my hollyhocks all in the best condi- 

 tion when spring arrived, which 

 was very gratifying indeed."
