The Florists' Review 



Fbbbuabt 20. 1919. 



TOLEDO, O. 



The Market. 



St. Valentine's day was second only 

 to Christmas as a flower day, in the 

 holidays of the year to date. Business 

 increased to a "hair-raising" finish 

 during the afternoon hours. Violets 

 were in the lead as the favorite flower, 

 with sweet peas a close second. Bed 

 roses and red carnations moved well at 

 satisfactory prices. Potted plants fell 

 short of the demand and brought good 

 prices accordingly. 



Various Notes. 



Of several of the retailers heard from, 

 all gave a good account of St. Valen- 

 tine's day business, such as the follow- 

 ing: "The happiest St. Valentine's 

 day of my life," from Mrs. J. B. Free- 

 man; "It was a 'young Christmas,' 

 with plenty of good stock," was the 

 opinion of Thomas McGee; "Like old 

 times," said Mrs. E. Suder;"It was a 

 hummer. We could have sold many 

 more plants," from Schramm Bros. 

 "It could not have been better," said 

 Miss Helen Patton. "Sold everything 

 in sight," said Miss Josie Helmer. "It 

 is a pity the growers cannot send in 

 enough sweet peas for St. Valentine's 

 day," said Max Spanner. "We could 

 not get enough stock to supply the big 

 demand," said a representative of Metz 

 & Bateman. 



Miss Helen Flick, of the Patten Flow- 

 er Shop, has gone to California for a 

 needed rest. 



The force of Schramm Bros, are all 

 well again and all are at work harder 

 than ever. 



William F. Krueger has had excellent 

 success v^dth sweet peas this season and 

 has cut quantities of the finer varieties. 



J. B. Gray, of Gray's Gardens, at 

 Sylvania, 0., has been cutting fine peas 

 all winter, but had the misfortune to 

 lose one of the best crops by gas escap- 

 ing from an adjoining house. His prim- 

 roses are doing well. 



According to letters recently received, 

 Herman Hirzel will soon be back from 

 overseas and will rejoin his brother 

 John in the work at the Hirzel range.
