THe Flwists' Review 



39 



Four Generations of the Joy Family, of Nashville, Were Broken Last Week by ttie Death of T. C. Joy, Seated at Left in thislGr oup. 



Ivory, Chieftain, Eager, etc., are plen- 

 tiful. Some of the florists here are 

 using a pink dye on the white varieties 

 and find that the flowers then sell well. 

 A good quantity of pompons moves sat- 

 isfactorily. Some single varieties, such 

 as Garza and Mrs. Buckingham, sell 

 fast. 



The new carnations are arriving in 

 good quantities and are fair as to size 

 and color. The demand for them is 

 good. Roses are plentiful and their 

 quality is improving. Violets are of 

 good color and size and now sell more 

 easily. Valley meets all demands. Or- 

 chids move slowly. Single and double 

 bouvardias are good, but the demand 

 is not large. Easter lilies are improv- 

 ing in size and quality and sell well. 

 The supply of ferns and green goods 

 meets all present demands. Galax and 

 leucothoe are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Visitors to the trade last week in- 

 cluded G. E. Walker, of the Susque- 

 hanna Cut Glass Co., Columbia, Pa.; 

 Eobert Greenlaw, of the S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., Philadelphia; Louis 

 Hanfling, of Russin & Hanfling, New 

 York; E. Engelberg, of New York. 



The Lady Florists' Auxiliary met at 

 the home of Mrs. H. W. Wilson Novem- 

 ber 8 for its monthly meeting and 

 social. 



W. Myrl, of the Allen Nursery Co., 

 of this city, has left for Cleveland, 

 where he will become manager of a 

 new branch office of the company 

 opened there. 



Fred F. Fogarty paid a flying trip 

 to Buffalo November 10. 



Harry Merritt, of Irondequoit, N. Y., 

 is cutting a large quantity of White 



Wonder carnations. His Delight car- 

 nations also are in splendid condition, 

 with good, strong and lengthy stems. 



H. E. Wilson and the Rochester 

 Floral Co. are getting a good deal of 

 publicity at this time. Novel street 

 car advertisements are attracting de- 

 sirable attention. 



E. R. Fry, of West Main street, is 

 doing a good business. He has been 

 running a chrysanthemum special for 

 about a week, at $1 per dozen. Being 

 so closely located to the hospitals, he 

 receives much transient trade. 



Beautiful baskets^ of assorted pom- 

 pons, with large baskets of white and 



yellow mums, made a handsome window 

 decoration at the J. B. Keller Sons 

 store last week. They have just re- 

 ceived "via Rotterdam," by the S. S. 

 Noordam, twenty-two cases of plants. 

 James Vick's Sons report a satisfac- 

 tory business at their retail store on 

 Stone street. They have experienced 

 an unusually good season in bulbs, in 

 which they have a large mail-order busi- 

 ness. H. J. H. 



After a long and painful illness, Fred 

 W. Vick passed away on the evening of 

 November 12. Details are given in this 

 week's obituary column.

Wichita, Kan., has experienced 

 another success in its annual wheat ex- 

 position. Charles P. Mueller made fine 

 displays at his two stores, and J. H. 

 Culp & Sons at their new store had an 

 equally attractive showing. 



J. A. Tapscott & Bro., of Owensboro, 

 Ky., and the Morgan Floral Co., of Hen- 

 derson, Ky., each report good business. 

 They are growing some fine chrysanthe- 

 mums, but buy considerable stock. 



The C, A. Dahl Co., of Atlanta, Ga., 

 is making fine displays in its handsome 

 store. Mr. Dahl returned from the 

 F. T. D. meeting greatly pleased with 

 his trip. 



Niednagel & Sons and the Blackman 

 Floral Co., of Evansville, Ind., are mak- 



ing showy displays in their downtown 

 stores. The Randall Co. electric foun- 

 tain in the Blackman store shows up 

 brilliantly at night. William Blackman 

 mentioned that the whole force was 

 busy from Saturday morning until Sun- 

 day noon, with about one hour's rest, 

 on the funeral work and All Souls' 

 day business. 



Louisville, Ky., is in a "satisfactory 

 condition floriculturally, " according to 

 George Schulz, of the Schulz Flower 

 Shop, who says that the yearly balance 

 was struck November 1 and shows the 

 best year on record. Funeral work is 

 considered spasmodic and placed in a 

 special class. W. M.
