The Florists' Review 



NOVEMBEB 10, 1916. 



SOBANTON, PA. 



The Market. 



Business during the last week has 

 been good in all lines. The bright 

 weather made the chrysanthemums ad- 

 vance so rapidly that the growers will 

 have all they can do to hold them for 

 Thanksgiving. So far a heavy call for 

 mums has kept them from a glut. Koses 

 of all varieties are plentiful, with 

 Hoosier Beauty and Prima Donna prov- 

 ing the best sellers. Carnations are 

 picking up in quality and increasing 

 in quantity. 



A few violets are seen in several 

 stores, but the call for them has been 

 indifferent. Bulbs for fall planting are 

 selling well, with the quality good. 



Funeral work was slack the first part 

 of the week, but seemed to pick up 

 later. Counter trade has been good 

 with all the stores. Greens of all kinds 

 are plentiful, except good green and 

 bronze galax. 



Various Notes. 



A visit to the Anton Schultheis green- 

 houses found everything looking well. 

 The mums are the finest that I have 

 seen this season. I make special men- 

 tion of Mr. Schultheis' Turner and Col. 

 Appleton, both for size of flower and 

 length of stem. Mr. Schultheis has add- 

 ed two new houses to his range this 

 fall. 



Muir & Co. report a busy week in fu- 

 neral and counter trade. Their windows 

 are always attractive-looking. Mrs. 

 M. Muir is able to be around again, 

 after a week 's illness. 



F. J. Moran has severed his connec- 

 tion with G. R. Clark and has accepted 

 a position with Muir & Co. 



G. R. Clark reports a heavy call for 

 bulbs and a busy week with funeral 

 work. 



Private growers held a chrysanthe- 

 mum show November 10. There were 

 some fine specimen blooms exhibited. 

 The Misses Schultheis, A. L. Besancon, 

 Anton Schultheis and G. R. Clark acted 

 as judges. 



The svmpathy of the trade is extend- 

 ed to Giles Clark on the death of his 

 wife and to Charles Cluter, grower for 

 .T. W. Beagle, on the death of Mrs. 

 Cluter. 



Morris M. Cohen, of New York, was 

 in the city last week with a big line of 

 ribbons and went away with a book of 

 orders. 



C. A. Baldwin reports business good. 

 He is cutting fine mums, carnations, 

 snapdragons and lilies, for which he 

 finds a ready call. 



A number of retailers have entered 

 their windows in the window-trimming 

 contest which is being held by the 

 Scranton Advertising Club. F. J. M. 



Des Moines, la. — A fire in the green- 

 house owned by August Carlson recently 

 caused heavy damage to the growing 

 stock.
