The Florfcts' Review 



OCTOBEB 19, 1916. 



bell is upholding his record for grow- 

 ing the best Appletons in this section. 

 He grows the standard varieties of 

 carnations and they look promising. 

 His cyclamens and poinsettias are of 

 good quality. Mr. Campbell is one of 

 those who aim to produce as much to 

 the square foot of bench space as pos- 

 sible. He expects to add a considerable 

 amount of glass to his range nexitj 

 spring. 



E. S. Rutt, of Elizabethtown, grows 

 carnations, chrysanthemums, sweet peas 

 and asparagus, as well as lettuce, rad- 

 ishes and spring-flowering plants, which 

 he disposes of in Lancaster county's 

 most thriving borough. 



M. E. & E. Hoffer, of Mount Joy, 

 have a house of good chrysanthemums, 

 in which some of the newest varieties 

 are being tested. A nice business in 

 winter-flowering plants and spring 

 stock is done at this place. 



E. P. Hostetter, of Manheim, is cut- 

 ting Golden Glow and Smith's Advance 

 mums of exceptional quality. 



Charles B. Herr, of Strasburg, enter- 

 tained at croquet last week Mr. and 

 Mrs. Ira H. Landis, Mr. and Mrs. J. 

 Eutter Hess and Mr. and Mrs. J. Gay- 

 ley. Four hard-fought games were 

 played, Messrs. Landis and Gayley win- 

 ning three out of the four. The losers 

 have challenged the winners for an- 

 ' other afternoon of this "classy" 

 sport. H. K. E.

The Market. 



The wholesale and retail florists are 

 having an unusual experience at pres- 

 ent. Every available flower is being 

 cut and used. The severe frosts have 

 ruined most of the outdoor stock, but 

 a little comes in from growers who 

 were "fortunate enough to shelter their 

 plants. Trade in general has not been 

 quite so active as of late, although 

 there is nothing to complain of. The 

 month of October has opened with an 

 unusual number of weddings, which, 

 though they are small, consume a large 

 quantity of stock. The daily consign- 

 ments of roses are good in quality and 

 Bell well. The leading varieties with 

 us are Mock, Milady, Eussell, Ophelia, 

 Ward, Sunburst and Francis Scott 

 Key. These sell splendidly. Sweet- 

 heart roses are becoming more popular. 

 Some fine chrysanthemums are in the 

 market — pink, yellow, lavender and 

 white — and the demand for them is 

 good. Some dwarf mums are selling 

 quite well. 



Carnations are not plentiful as yet, 

 but they are becoming larger of bloom 

 and longer of stem, and bring better 

 prices. The demand for violets remains 

 small. Lily of the valley is good and 

 sells well. The supply of orchids is 

 adequate and these sell well. Easter 

 lilies are satisfactory, but move slowly. 

 Tuberoses are arriving in small quan- 

 tities and a few good potted begonias 

 arrive and sell easily. The stock on 

 the whole looks well and is readily dis- 

 posed of each day. Prices on most 

 items are good and few complaints are 



heard. 



Association Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Eoches- 

 ter Florists' Association was held in 

 the Chamber of Commerce rooms Octo- 

 ber 9 and was presided over by Charles 

 H. Vick, president. The general public 

 was invited to attend. 



NOTICE! 



■ -■--*■ ' 



To Subscribers whose address labels carry an 

 expiration number higher than 905 (Dec. 21. 1916). 



EVERY florist knows through his own purchases what has happened 

 in the paper market the last few months-i-prices have doubled all 

 along the line. 



And it takes more than four tons of paper each week to print 

 The Review! 



Many readers have been so kind as to write that The Review i» 

 worth considerably more to them than its subscription price. Well, the 

 tremendous rise in the price of paper makes it no longer expedient to 

 sell The Review at $1.00 a year. 



The subscription price, therefore, will be advanced January 1,. 

 1917, to $1.50 a year. 



Until December 31, 1916, any member of the Trade may subscribe for on& 

 or more years at the old rate of $1.00 a year. 



Readers whose present subscriptions do not expire until after January 1» 

 1917, may renew for as many years as they like at $1.00 per year, providing that 

 such renewals are sent during 1916. 



Send $1.00 and your subscription will be extended one year from the present 

 date of expiration, whenever that may be. 



Send $2.00 and the subscription will be extended two years from the present 

 date of expiration. 



Send $3.00 for three years, $5.00 for five years. 



No renewjkls for a full year will be accepted at less than $1.50 unless they 

 are mailed by December 31, 1916. 



ThefCanadian subscription price will be $2.50 a year beginning January 1, 1917. Can- 

 adian renewals mailed on or before December 31, 1916, will be accepted at $2.00 a year.
