The Florists' Review 



Fbbrdart 15, 1917. 



COLUMSUS, O. 



The Market. 



The demand for flowers during the 

 last two or three weeks has broken all 

 records. Stock has been cleaned up 

 closely in all lines and there is a great 

 scramble for it daily. Roses, most of 

 them still off crop, were far from suffi- 

 cient to meet the heavy demand and the 

 prices are high on those that arrive. 

 Beauties are exceedingly scarce and 

 prospects for a better supply are poor. 

 Eussell and Reid roses have taken the 

 place of Beauties and fine stocks of 

 these are to be seen. Ophelia still holds 

 its own as the best all-around rose at 

 this time and is much in demand. 



Carnations are plentiful but clean up 

 daily, with no chance of a surplus at 

 any time. Sweet peas have been much 

 in evidence and quantities of them are 

 used at good prices. Bulbous stock is 

 scarce as yet. Only a few tulips, jonquils 

 and Dutch hyacinths are seen, and they 

 do not begin to meet the heavy demand. 

 Violets are moving nicely and the qual- 

 ity is good, both in singles and doubles. 

 Valley is more plentiful, with the prices 

 high and the quality nothing above the 

 average. Lilies are cleared easily and 

 the supply does not meet the demand. 



Potted plants are moving nicely, but 

 it has been a difficult proposition to de- 

 liver them safely during the cold snap. 

 Azaleas are a disappointment, as many 

 have blighted buds. All hope that the 

 late ones will be in better shape. Cycla- 

 mens and other plants are moving well, 

 at fair prices. 



Various Notes. 



Richard Winters, of Winters & Kram- 

 er, is recovering from his attack of 

 rheumatism. He has had quite a siege of 

 it and has been confined to his home for 

 several weeks. 



Robert Buehler is convalescing slow- 

 ly, and the trade hopes that he will be 

 completely himself before long. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has 

 opened its new store and business is 

 running smoothly. The force has been 



busy. 



Stephens & Son report a great scarcity 

 of stock and great difficulty in procuring 

 enough to fill orders. 



E. Metzmaier is short on stock but 

 long on work. 



The Columbus Floral Co. has no trou- 

 ble in disposing of stock these days. It 

 can promise nothing from one day to the 

 next. 



T. J. Ludwig reports business heavy 

 in funeral and decorative work. J. M. 



Herrington on the Mum, sent by The 

 Review for 50 cents.

DRIP 



The Eave That Takes All Care of It 



IHIS Z-Bar Eave Plate of ours is 

 an E3ave Plate and Drip Gutter 

 combined. 



It does away entirely with the 

 numerous sbade-casting fittings and 

 the necessity of hanging a drip gut- 

 ter, more or less in the way, below 

 the plate. 



But that isn't all. The riveting of 

 that angle drip gutter to the plate

stiffens it. making it unnecessary, in 

 the Half Iron Flrame house, to have 

 any middle between-the-posts sup- 

 port from the plate to the sill. 



Of course, a drip gutter is not a 

 necessity; but when its use adds 

 strength to the house — why not 

 have it? 



You know we go anywhere for busi- 

 ness—or to talk business.
