The Florists' Review 



Januabx 11, 1917. 



Arthur Zirkman, of the M. Eice Co., 

 Philadelphia, visited the trade this 

 week. 



There has been "some class" to the 

 fancy sweet peas and carnations that 

 Charles Bohne has been bringing in. 



Mrs. Charles Eandall has undergone 

 a serious operation at St. Vincent's 

 hospital and is getting along as well as 

 could be expected. 



George Wiegand has been suffering 

 from an attack of the grip and bron- 

 chitis. 



Now is the time to boost St. Valen- 

 tine's dav. Why not make it one of 

 the greatest flower days of the season, 

 instead of lovers' day? Why not ad- 

 vertise it as a day on which one should 

 remember friends and relatives, as well 

 as sweethearts— a day of universal good 



feeling? . ttt- 



C M. Balluff, manager of the A. Wie- 

 gand 's Sons Co., is off on a short vaca- 

 tion. He was anticipating a family re- 

 union at Newcastle and a couple of days 

 of hunting. 



One week after the holidays on<} of 



the department stores had a sale of 



fancy roses at greatly reduced prices. 



Miss Kose Brandlein has been ill for 



several days. E. E. T. 



BUTFALO. 



The Market. 



New Year's business, while not to be 

 complained about, was none too strenu- 

 ous. The bulk of it was corsages. Evi- 

 dently the same was experienced in 

 many other markets, due to the fact 

 that New Year's fell on Monday. 



American Beauties now are extra 

 good and these as well as other roses 

 are maintaining the holiday prices. Kil- 

 larney, Hoosier Beauty, Ophelia, Sun- 

 burst and Ward roses continue to sell 

 well. Easter lilies have been in heavy 

 demand, but as yet they are somewhat 

 scarce. Carnations are not quite so 

 plentiful as they have been, but the 

 quality still remains, so there is little 

 room for complaints. Stevia is more 

 than sufficient for all present demands. 

 The jonquils and pussy willows have 

 come again and they make one think 

 of spring. These serve excellently 

 in basket arrangements. Roman hya- 

 cinths, too, have come to the front row. 

 Both yellow and white narcissi are 

 abundant. 



Violets, single and double, have real- 

 ized a great demand this season; also 

 orchids, both cypripediums and cat- 

 tleyas. Valley has been in heavy de- 

 mand. Sweet peas are more or less er- 

 ratic as to quality, some being exceed- 

 ingly good and others rather poor. 

 Freesia has resumed its former popular- 

 ity. Greens of all kinds are plentiful. 

 Blooming plants are more numerous, 

 among them being hyacinths, azaleas, 

 begonias and cyclamens. The first and 

 last realize good sales. 



Various Notes. 



William Ehman, Sr., of Corfu, was 

 visiting in Buffalo last week. 



Barney Meyers is sending in good 

 cuts of jonquils daily. 



The Lenox Flower Shop will move to 

 its new quarters on Delaware avenue 

 about February 1. The new store has 

 a 20-foot frontage and is seventy feet 

 deep. A. E. 



Fairhaven, Pa. — William C. Klein has 

 been succeeded by his son, A. L. Klein.
