The Florists^ Review 



Fbbeuaby 13. 1919. 



Charity ball, held last week, did not 

 serve to stimulate the demand in the 

 case of retailers who usually profit from 

 such affairs. Lincoln's birthday and 

 St. Valen,tine's day this week may 

 create a livelier tone to the market, but 

 no shortage in the supply of flowers is 

 looked for. 



Eoses continue in short supply, par- 

 ticularly in the lower grades, but the 

 large offerings of other flowers make the 

 shortage tolerable; consequently prices 

 have fallen off a point or two on roses 

 as well as on carnations. 



Cairnations are now plentiful, and 

 their quality, in general, is good. The 

 cropping varieties appear to have recov- 

 ered from the Christmas cut and, as 

 several of the larger growers took a 

 chance on the ending of the war and 

 the lifting of the fuel restrictions, there 

 is no likelihood of a dearth of pinks 

 from now on. 



Some fine freesia is coming in and 

 sells well. Eoman hyacinths, chiefly 

 white, are a prominent item among ar- 

 rivals, some consignments being con- 

 spicuous for unusually long-stemmed 

 flowers. White, lilac, too, is in evidence; 

 so, with Paper Whites, lilies and other 

 flowers, there is plenty of white mate- 

 rial available. 



Orchids are abundant and at times 

 move slowly. Cattleyas are expected 

 to be plentiful for St. Valentine's day, 

 balancing, perhaps, a particularly short 

 supply of good lily of the valley. 



Arrivals of Easter lilies are light, but 

 sufiicient for the call for them. Sweet 

 peas are abundant and prices have top- 

 pled to a nearly normal point, $1.50 to 

 $3 per hundred, with a few of special 

 quality bringing $4. 



Calendulas, snapdragon, iris, i)ansies, 

 bouvardia, daisies and mignonette are 

 in fair supply and move well. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Thorloy, the Fifth avenue 

 florist, is a candidate for menil)ership on 

 the New York State Boxing Commission, 

 if the Gibbs bill is passed by the legis- 

 lature. His chance to receive the ap- 

 pointment is believed to be more than 

 good. Mr. Thorley is well jiosted as 

 to the science of the sport and has many 

 influential friends behind him in liis 

 candidacy. He is well known to Gov- 

 ernor Smith. 



Mrs. Mary Belle Davis Henderson, 

 widow of Alfred Henderson, for many 

 years connected with the firm of Peter 

 Henderson «S: Co.. died February 8 in her 

 apartments in the Hotel Marie An- 

 toinette of pneumonia. She is survived 

 by a son, Peter, and three daughters. 

 The funeral was held February 11 from 

 the Centi;al Presbyterian church, Madi- 

 son avenue and Fifty-seventh street. 



Park Commissioner Berolzheimer has 

 been elevated to the post of city cham- 

 berlain and Francis Dawson (Jailatin, a 

 gentleman well known for his public 

 service and for his intelligence, lias 

 been appointed to the vacant office. Mr. 

 Gallatin's appointment is generally ap- 

 proved, as it is believed that he will do 

 his utmost to preserve and improve the 

 beauty of the park areas coming under 

 his control. 



Herman Branch, florist at 18 East 

 One Hundred and Sixth street, has filed 

 a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, with 

 lial)ilities scheduled at $4,813 and as- 

 sets nil. 



Secretary Young and Frank R. Pier- 

 son were in Washington February 6, on 

 the occasion of the presentation of the
