The Florists' Review 





SSFTDMBIIt 7, 1916. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Trade still ia quiet, there being little 

 doing outside of funeral work. At 

 times, though, business is quite brisk, 

 and then it is hard to procure enough 

 stock, as there is little to be had out- 

 side of roses, gladioli and lilies. At 

 present roses are of good quality and 

 are in fair supply. Gladioli are more 

 plentiful than previously and we do not 

 know what we would do without them; 

 they are used for funerals, for the sick, 

 for baskets and, in fact, for all oc- 

 casions. Lilies are more plentiful and 

 help to fill in. Asters are extremely 

 scarce and the few offered bring a good 

 price. Snapdragons are difficult to ob- 

 tain at present. 



Most of the tradesmen are back from 

 their vacations and are settling down 

 to the old routine. 



The State Fair. 



The state fair last week, from all re- 

 ports, broke all previous records for at- 

 tendance. August 31 the attendance 

 was a trifle over 76,000 and there were 

 10,000 automobiles parked at the 

 grounds. 



The flower displays, while in some 

 lines not so good as those of previous 

 years, as a whole were good. The 

 awards in the professional classes were:

The Wing Seed Co., of Mechanics-

 usually good display of goods to make 

 the home beautiful. The display of 

 fruit was fine, especially the apple dis- 

 play from Lawrence county. J. M.
