The Florists^ Review 



Decimbbh 7, 1916. 



still a few mums left, but the demand 

 is light. The local florists are taking 

 advantage of this lull in trade to pre- 

 pare for the Christmas rush. 



Various Notes. 



December 2 the Fort Wayne Florists' 

 Club held its regular meeting at the 

 store rooms of A. J. Lanternier & Co. 

 Miss E. A. Doswell, president of the 

 club, presided. The report of the No- 

 vember flower show was read and after 

 the business of the meeting a general 

 discussion was held on the subject of 

 the Christmas rush and how to handle it. 

 There will be no regular January meet- 

 ing of the club, but a banquet will be 

 held January 5 in the ballroom of the 

 Anthony hotel, to which all the mem- 

 bers of the club are invited. 



The Flick Floral Co. had the decora- 

 tions for the Hogan-Olds wedding 

 Thanksgiving day. Southern smilax was 

 used in large quantities; also chrysan- 

 themums and roses. White orchids and 

 valley formed the bride's bouquet and 

 Ophelia roses were carried by the maids.

The Market. 



Trade during the last few weeks has 

 been steadily on the increase, and the 

 business done Thanksgiving was far in 

 excess of that of last year. Stock has 

 been plentiful, and has moved well, with 

 the exception of carnations, but now 

 that the mum season is over the grow- 

 ers and retailers think the demand for 

 these will begin to pick up. 



Azaleas that were due to arrive hero 

 about October 15 came in about Novem- 

 ber 20 and were in poor condition; in 

 fact, some of them were so poor that 

 they were refused. Some of the plants 

 heated on the road and others were 

 frozen; because of this and their late 

 arrival, the prospects of having any for 

 Christmas are slim. A few Mme. 

 Petrick plants are the only ones having 

 the slightest chance. 



The coal situation in this vicinity is 

 becoming rather serious, as steam coal 

 can hardly be bought at any price. 

 Coal that formerly sold at $3.15 to 

 $3.25 per ton in carload lots now is 

 selling at $5 to $6.75. The mild, warm 

 weather that has prevailed for the last 

 few weeks has proved a boon to some 

 of the florists, as several of them had 

 only a small supply of coal on hand. 

 Other florists do not favor the warm 

 weather, as it is bringing on the 

 Christmas crops too quickly. 



Various Notes. 



Janousek Bros., out on Prospect hill, 

 are cutting some excellent sweet peas 

 that find- a ready sale. Their carnations 

 are good and prospects are that there 

 will be an excellent crop for the 

 holidays. 



Lee Larmon, the Fontenelle hotel flo- 

 rist, had a pleasing window last week 

 that proved a good business-getter. 



"While business was not so good up 

 to Thanksgiving this year as last year, 

 we have no complaints to make," states 

 one of the proprietors of the Flower 

 Shop. "People are cutting down on 

 the high cost of living and are buying 

 only the necessities of life. Many con- 

 sider flowers too much of a luxury." 



WHY TAKE A CHANCE? 



You can't know (at best you only think you know) 

 what the temperature is in your greenhouses, nights 

 and during your absences, unless you have 



THE STANPARD 



RECORDING 



THERMOIIETER 



PRICE, $26.00 



It has made thousands of dollars for many florists 

 and may do as much for you. Your plants must have 

 certain, steady temperature to do their best. Use 

 this thermometer and you will know whether they 

 are getting what they need. It leaves a written record 

 under lock and key. 



"Please send me 26 record plates Use the enclosed sam- 

 ple, and I want to say that the machine bought a good many 

 years back Is keeping up Its good work right along. The 

 recording thermometer Is a very us«ful adjunct to good 

 plant growing and should be In every man's greenhouse, as 

 reference to It may often tell what Is wrong with a batch of 

 plants, and avoid blaming the temperature when it is not the fault of the temperature.

Paul Floth believes in being the first 

 in the market with mums and also the 

 last one. He has some good mum plants 

 from which he will be able to cut until 

 the holidays. He has about 300 Mme. 

 Petriek azaleas, which he thinks will 

 come just about right for Christmas. If 

 the plants make good Mr. Floth will 

 liave no trouble in disposing of them, as 

 the chances are that he will be the only 

 grower with azaleas either to wholesale 

 or retail. L. S. H.
