The Florists^ Review 



Apbil 10, 1919. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Flowers l.ave been a little scarce dur- 

 ing the last week. Prices are not quite 

 so high as they were, though still above 

 normal for this time of the year. All 

 kinds of early spring flowers are coming 

 into the market in limited quantities. 

 Fair business is reported by many flo- 

 rists. There is beginning to be some 

 call for seeds. This would have been 

 greater, had not the first days of the 

 month been unusually cold, with the 

 heaviest snowfall of the season. The 

 snow did not last more than a few hours 

 and the frost is out of the ground, so 

 there doubtless will be a much larger 

 demand for seeds from now on. 



Various Notes. 



Fred P. Wolfinger, 883 Broad street, 

 reports that business is extremely good 

 now. Transient trade, which has been 

 small for many months, he reports, is be- 

 ginning to pick up. 



Local florists are looking forward to 

 a good Easter trade. Many of them do 

 not expect, however, any record trade, 

 as there is a scarcity of azaleas, bulbous 

 flowers, etc., due to war conditions. 

 Plants are more plentiful than flowers 

 and the sale of these will probably be 

 quite large. R. B. M. 



DENVER, COLO. 



At a recent meeting of the Denver 

 Society of Ornamental Horticulture, 

 held March 25, papers were read by E. L. 

 Sargent, assistant pathologist of the Bu- 

 reau of Plant Industry, on "The Eradi- 

 cation of the Common Barberry," and 

 by A. Kohankie, on the carnation show 

 at Cleveland. George Brenkert exhib- 

 ited his new carnation, Denver. 



In an announcement of the last meet- 

 ing of the society a number of timely 

 hints on gardening are given. 



Officers were elected as follows: 

 President, C. R. Root; vice-president, A. 

 Kohankie; secretary-treasurer, S. R. De 

 Boer; members of the executive commit- 

 tee, Mrs. Bradish P. Morse, Mrs. S. B. 

 Walker, G. Klaiber, P. L. Clarke and 

 E. Albrecht. 



Des Flaines, IlL — "Do you remem- 

 ber?" inquired Sol Garland, Jr., "on 

 your last visit a year ago when Biddy 

 was laying an egg in the tonneau of our 

 Pierce-Arrow car and held us up from 

 delivering a purchase of lettuce? She 

 was doing her bit and we surely needed 

 it, for things certainly looked black at 

 that time. Now we have money to bank 

 and the outlook is extremely bright. 

 We have been able to run the whole 

 plant at full capacity all winter."
