The Florists^ Review 



March 6, 1919 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



We had a taste of real winter last 

 week, when the thermometer dropped to 

 12 degrees above zero. However, there 

 was plenty of sunshine during the week 

 and it helped production to a great 

 degree. Although there is no surplus on 

 the market, yet there is enough to sup- 

 ply the demand, which has accelerated 

 since Washington's birthday, particu- 

 larly in funeral work. Many of the re- 

 tail stores had extra help in order to get 

 out all the funeral pieces. Social af- 

 fairs were numerous also, probably on 

 account of the proximity of the Lenten 

 season. Counter trade was exception- 

 ally brisk. 



Bulbous stock is not any too plentiful 

 and the best grades are bought up as 

 soon as the stock arrives on the market. 

 Narcissi are scarce. Carnations are on 

 the short side and prices remain firm. 

 Boses are bringing top-notch prices, es- 

 pecially for the selects in such varieties 

 as Eussell, Columbia, Ophelia and 

 Hoosier Beauty. Spencer sweet peas are 

 more plentiful and sell readily. Prices 

 on violets remain firm and the call for 

 them is good. 



Cinerarias are being offered in excel- 

 lent quality and find a ready market. 

 Easter lily plants are being offered in 

 limited quantities. Primroses are in 

 fine form and prices obtained for them 

 are satisfactory. 



There is a scarcity of almost every 

 variety of greens, excessive funeral 

 work having depleted the supply. 



Various Notes. 



A. J. Lanternier & Sons executed a 

 large moose head in flowers for the flower 

 festival of the Moose lodge last week. 

 They also had elaborate decorations for 

 the auditorium and receiving rooms of 

 the Moose building. 



Private George W. Doswell, of the 

 Doswell Floral Co., has been discharged 

 from the army and has arrived home 

 from Camp McClellan, Alabama. He 

 will take up his work again at the store. 



Mrs. Clem Lanternier is spending a 

 week's vacation in Toledo, O. Miss 

 Ruth Lanternier is assisting in the store 

 during her absence. 



Among the florists who took part in 

 the cooperative advertising for Valen- 

 tine 's day, and who reaped such satisfy- 

 ing results from their efforts, were: 

 Doswell Floral Co., Freese Floral Co., 

 Ed. Wenninghoff, A. J. Lanternier, W. J. 

 & M. S. Vesey and the Flick Floral Co. 

 The ads were run in the daily papers 

 and featured the telegraph delivery 

 service.

 tobacco, for sale and for his own use, 

 and manufactures his own nicotine ex-
