The Florists' Review 



Mabch S. 1917. 



though they were in getting things in 

 shape for spring business. Box trade 

 is large and increasing. 



Cadwell & Jones, of Hartford, Conn., 

 recently completely rebuilt, possessing 

 now a handsome, commodious building, 

 devoted entirely to seeds and poultry 

 supplies. The new catalogue, just out, 

 is in harmony. W. M.

The Market. 



Business has improved somewhat since 

 the last writing. Business during the 

 middle of last week was rather slow, 

 but the first and the last of the week 

 were good. The demand this week is 

 excellent. Roses and carnations are in 

 good supply. The sweet pea cut is 

 extremely heavy. Easter lilies have 

 shortened considerably; in fact, they 

 are scarce. A fair supply of callas and 

 rubrum lilies is available. Daffodils, 

 tulips and hyacinths are in fair sup- 

 ply. Other offerings include valley, or- 

 chids and snapdragons. 



The supply of plumosus and Sprengeri, 

 while better than it was, still is inade- 

 quate. Smilax has become scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Gillett have re- 

 turned from their trip to Florida. Mr. 

 Gillett is enthusiastic about that state, 

 especially the territory around Palm 

 Beach and at C. J. Ohmer's place. Dur- 

 ing the recent cold spell in Florida Mr. 

 Ohmer'? place was untouched by the 

 frost. 



C. E. Critchell has been having a good 

 demand for his boxwoods since the sup- 

 ply of asparagus shortened. 



W. J. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind., 

 was in this city last week. 



The March meeting of the Cincinnati 

 Florists' Society will be held March 13.

SNAPDRAGON 



From every section of the country comes aa increased demand 

 for snapdragon for bedding out. It is by far the most popular 

 plant, and gives general satisfaction, being easy to grow and 

 affording blooms for show and cutting the entire season. Every 

 florist should have a good supply of plants, not only for custo- 

 mers but for planting on his own grounds. We have all of the 

 good ones and offer seed as follows :

 3 for $2.50; 7 for $6.00. Seed o£ White,
