The Rorists'' Review 





OCTOBBB r». 1916. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



It still is a little early for much bet- 

 ter business, but last week saw a little 

 gain over that of the week previous. 

 Late vacationists now are returning and 

 business in general is becoming brisk, 

 which of course will react favorably 

 on the florists' trade. At the present 

 time there would be nothing that would 

 give business such an impetus as a 

 couple of sharp frosts that would kill 

 garden flowers. Many people would 

 patronize the florists if they had no 

 flowers of their own. 



There were a few more chrysanthe- 

 mums on the market, but they still are 

 far from plentiful. Asters and gladioli 

 continue scarce and high. Gladioli are 

 beginning to become less plentiful and 

 soon will be off the market. Dahlias 

 are somewhat more plentiful and the 

 flowers are of better quality. Early 

 carnations are coming into the market, 

 but these are rather short-stemmed. A 

 number of florists are using wild fall 

 daisies to fill in for window and store 

 displays. Growers are hurrying to get 

 spiraeas and other plants grown in the 

 field into the greenhouses before the 

 frosts arrive. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Luthy had a good business 

 during the early part of September, but 

 there was a little lull last week. 



August C. Begerow has had consider- 

 able funeral work during the last two 

 weeks. H. B. McKnight, grower for 

 Mr. Begerow, has returned from Asbury 

 Park, where he spent his vacation. He 

 now is busy getting stevias and other 

 plants in from the field. 



An account of the death of David 

 IMiillips, of Toronto, Canada, brother of 

 William J. Phillips, will be found in 

 this week's obituary column. 



William Weismantel had a good trade 

 in baskets and combination fern dishes 

 during the Jewish holidays last week. 

 Small baskets filled with asparagus, 

 ferns, asters and feverfew were quite 

 attractive. Short-stemmed asters that 

 otherwise would be hard to dispose of 

 were used. R- B. M. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



Instruction in floriculture has been 

 offered for the first time this collegiate 

 year at the Ohio State University, Col- 

 lege of Agriculture. Opportunities are 

 afforded for study of the main florists' 

 crops, diseases and insect enemies. Gar- 

 den flowers, greenhouse management 

 and construction, as well as flower store 

 work and landscaping, will also receive 

 attention. 



The subjects are being offered in the 

 4-year college course, which has already 

 begun, and in the 3-year course, which 

 begins October 17. 



Instruction is in charge of Prof. A. C. 

 Hottes. Prof. Hottes came to Ohio 

 from Cornell University, New York, 

 where he was an instructor in charge 

 of the work in garden flowers and of 

 the winter courses.
