The Florists' Review 



Jandabx 4, 1917. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



During the last week flowers have 

 been somewhat scarce and high in 

 price. Carnations, which should be 

 coming in plentifully now, are not de- 

 veloping rapidly. The plants are fine, 

 and are filled with large, strong buds, 

 but the buds open slowly, with the 

 result that the supply is limited. Paper 

 Whites are much more plentiful than 

 they have been, and are of good qual- 

 ity. Nearly all of the florists report a 

 fine Christmas trade. Some say it was 

 the best holiday trade they have had for 

 some years. There was a considerable 

 demand for cut flowers, though the 

 greatest call was for plants. Poinset- 

 tias were good and sold well, most of 

 the florists cleaning out their stock. 

 Azaleas sold well, though the quality 

 was not quite so good as usual. There 

 was a strong demand for orchids, which 

 were a little high-priced. Daffodils 

 are just beginning to appear, and tulips 

 in pots also will be here before long. 

 Violets are arriving in fair quantities. 

 Baskets are popular, and prettily ar- 

 ranged baskets play a prominent part 

 in window decorations. 



Various Notes. 



George Penek reports that the last 

 year was a good one, and that the 

 Christmas trade was highly satisfac- 

 tory. 



At the next meeting of the Essex 

 County Florists' Club, which will be 

 held at the Krueger Auditorium Janu- 

 ary 18, officers for the coming year will 

 be elected. Preliminary plans for a 

 flower show next fall will be made. 

 The show given this year was quite suc- 

 cessful. 



Ferdinand A. Kuehn had a wonder- 

 fully successful Christmas l)usiness, 

 ranking among the best seasons he 

 ever had. 



"The Ivy Flower Shop" is the trade 

 name which has just been filed for the 

 business at 454 South Orange avenue 

 by Eose F. Schneider, 



"The Davies Floral Co." is the title 

 chosen for the business conducted by 

 Annie Davies at Park avenue and Wal- 

 nut street, Nutley. 



Ernest Eadany reports that the whole 

 year has been a good one with him, 

 and that the Christmas trade exceeded 

 his expectations. 



Henry Hornecker, of East Orange, 

 states that the Christmas trade was the 

 best he has had since entering business. 

 While there was a good demand for 

 almost everything, baskets and cut 

 flowers were specially called for in his 

 locality. 



The S. A. Eogers Nursery Co., at 14 

 Branford place, made a great hit with 

 miniature Japanese gardens, of which 

 they laid in a good supply. E. B, M,
