The Florists^ Review 



Fbbbuabt 6, 1919. 



J. F. Ammanii; president of the S. A. 

 F., and August H. Hummert, president 

 of the Florists' Club, attended the S. A. 

 F. executive board meeting at Detroit 

 last week. They have returned home 

 much pleased with their trip. 



Miss Margaret Kuehn, daughter of 

 C. A. Kuehn, has just graduated from 

 the McKinley high school with high 

 honors. She was the only young lady 

 out of a large class to win a scholarship 

 in Washington University. 



John T. Milliken, head of the rose- 

 growing establishment, at Crescent, Mo., 

 known as Mosgiel Gardens, died Janu- 

 ary 31 at his home at 35 Portland place, 

 St. Louis, of pneumonia following an 

 attack of influenza, at the age of 64 

 years. He was one of the wealthiest 

 men in St. Louis. The funeral took 

 place February 2. J. J. B.

The Market. 



Conditions in the wholesale market 

 have not changed materially since the 

 last report. It is the general opinion of 

 the retailers that the demand is not so 

 brisk as it should be and that the high 

 prices are considerably to blame for this 

 slack condition. During the last week 

 many of the schools and conservatories 

 have held graduation exercises, but even 

 these did not bring the usual amount of 

 work. It is chiefly funeral work that is 

 keeping the stores busy. Stock is not 

 the least bit plentiful and little is left 

 in the flower market after the morning 

 sales, there being absolutely no over- 

 supply. 



Arrivals of roses are not at all large, 

 while prices continue to be high. How- 

 ever, they continue to be of good qual- 

 ity, with splendid foliage. Ophelia, Eus- 

 sell, September Morn, Prima Donna, 

 Ward, Sunburst and Columbia sold well 

 throughout the week. In red varieties 

 few were received, most of them being 

 oflf crop. 



The supply of sweet peas continues to 

 be small, not more than a few hundred 

 arriving each week. The supply of vio- 

 lets is equal to the present 4emand, 

 which for the last month has been small. 



Easter lilies are not plentiful, but 

 meet the demand. Callas are of good 

 quality and sell freely. Paper Whites 

 have been quite plentiful, but toward 

 the last of the week were about all 

 cleaned up. Jonquils are in limited sup- 

 ply and sell readily, bringing $8 per hun- 

 dred. Carnations, which should be in 

 good supply, are arriving in small quan- 

 tities. They are of fine quality. Good 

 snapdragon is seen in yellow, white and 

 pink, chiefly the latter. 



A small quantity of white lilac is 

 seen occasionally and sells well. Quan- 

 tities of pussy willow are seen, in which 

 all grades are included. Good orchids 

 ari' on the market and have sold better 

 the last week. Cypripediums also are of 

 good quality and sell fairly well. Calen- 

 dulas are seen, but in small supply. Free- 

 sia is not plentiful. The market is well 

 supplied with bronze galax, leucothoe 

 and fern leaves. The market is solely 

 dependent on locally grown asparagus, 

 which is inadequate for the demand. 



A good selection of blooming plants 

 is seen in all of the stores and includes 

 fine bulbous stock, which sells well. 

 Cyclamens, begonias, primulas and mar- 

 guerites are included.
