The Florists' Review 



t 

 NOVEMBEU 1, 1917. 



Carnation Cuttings 



There is a choice between growing cuttings and growing flowers. Some go all the way and 

 grow only cuttings. More are going all the other way and are growing just flowers this season, 

 as it takes less labor. We are taking the middle of the road. More flowers and half the cut- 

 tings will be our course. In new varieties, Thenanthos looks to be the best of them. 



OUR PRICES FOR 1918: 



Thenanthos, Cottage Maid and Arawana, Rooted Cuttings $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000 



Nancy, Nebraska, Benora, Aviator and White Wonder, 



Rooted Cuttings $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000

 ress and Mrs. C. W. Ward, Rooted Cuttings $3.50 per 100; $30.00 per 1000 



The early orders get earliest attention.

The Market. 



Jusiness has been dull and there was 

 plenty of stock in the market. Eoses 

 are good and there are plenty of all 

 grades. Sunburst can be had for from 

 $5 to $8 uer hundred; Eichmond, Hadley 

 and Milady, $4 to $10 per hundred, and 

 Killarney/My Maryland and Shawyer 

 for $6 and $8 per hundred. American 

 Beauties have good color, stems and fo- 

 liage and sell at $1 to $4 per dozen. 

 Some shipments of single dahlias were 

 received, but they found no sale. Dah- 

 lias have given way to the pompons. A 

 few gladioli arrived during the week 

 and cleaned up regardless of the lateness 

 of the season. 



Chrysanthemums are the thing now. 

 Some extra good stock is coming in and 

 sells for from $15 to $25 per hundred. 

 They are far superior to last year's 

 crop. Valley puts in an occasional ap- 

 pearance, but the price of $10 per hun- 

 dred gives it a back seat. Easter lilies 

 are arriving again and are bringing fair 

 prices. Boston ferns in 4, 5 and 6-inch 

 pots are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Charles II. Netsch has purchased the 

 Dansville Greenhouses, formerly owned 

 by the Jackson sanitarium. The estab- 

 lishment consists of nine houses, which 

 are planted to carnations, roses, chrys- 

 anthemums and a general stock, which 

 will be shipped to his store, 342 Gen- 

 esee street. Mr, Netsch reports busi- 

 uess fair. 



W. J. Palmer has subscribed for $50,- 

 000 worth of Liberty bonds. 



E. A. Scott is cutting a good crop of 

 Zenobia pompons. They arc having a 

 readv market for this stock. W. W. 

 Waring, of the Scott staff, has returned 

 from a trip cast, where he paid visits to 

 many florists. He reports that business 

 is fair and everyone views the future 

 optimistically. 



The retail florists met at the S. A. 

 Anderson greenhouses Tuesday evening, 

 October 2:5', for tlie purpose of discuss- 

 mg what will be the reasonable prices 

 to sell stock for during November. In 

 the absence of W. J. I'almer, Louis H. 

 Xeubeck acted as chairman. The even- 

 ing was rainy and disagreeable, but 

 fifteen florists \vere there and before the 

 meeting was called to order went 

 through the houses looking over the 

 stock. The principal attractions were 

 poinscttias and pompons. The work of 

 the F T. D. convention was discussed 

 in detail. 1'- ^- ^-
