The Florists' Review 



May 1, 1919. 



ton to the Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. 



Gilbert Woltemate has reopened his 

 place at Wyndmoor. 



J. Otto Thilow continues his horti- 

 cultural missionary work with unabated 

 zeal. His next address will be at Plain- 

 field, N. J. 



Charles H. Grakelow is sending out 

 6,000 announcements for Mothers' day. 



City Hall plaza did not bloom as of 

 yore, on Easter eve. Stock was too 

 scarce. Phil. 



The Berger Sale. 



I wish you would rectify a misstate- 

 ment in The Eeview of April 24, in the 

 Philadelphia notes. It is there stated 

 that the greenhouses of William Berger 

 & Son have been bought by Victor Gro- 

 shens, but the purchaser is Victor Eoe- 

 kens, of Glenside. I do not know if it 

 is a reporter's or a printer's error, but 

 in either case it probably was due to the 

 similarity of the names. 



Victor Eoekens. 



Rose Meeting. 



The display feature of the next month- 

 ly meeting of the Florists ' Club of Phila- 

 delphia, to be held in the roof garden 

 of the Hotel Adelphia, Tuesday, May 6, 

 at 8 p. m., will be an exhibition of new 

 varieties of forcing roses. Exhibits 

 have been assured from John H. Dunlop, 

 Toronto, Canada; E. G. Hill Co., Eich- 

 mond, Ind.; Frank E. Pierson, Tarry- 

 town, N. Y.; John Cook, Baltimore, Md., 

 and Eobert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill, 

 Pa. We also expect the new varieties of 

 the Montgomery Eose Co., Hadley, Mass. 

 In addition, there will be vases of spe- 

 cial stock of standard varieties from the 

 local growers whose products have made 

 this city famous. 



The literary feature will be an address 

 by Wallace E. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn., 

 on standard and new varieties. His 

 knowledge and experience as a grower 

 and disseminator of new roses will make 

 this a most interesting and valuable 

 treatise. Charles H. Totty, Madison, 

 N. J., also will be present. 



An invitation is extended to all in the 

 craft, especially women in the business, 

 who are now admitted to membership in 

 the club.

The Market. 



The market is holding up in great 

 shape; both supply and demand are all 

 that could be wished. Prices are still 

 holding good and everybody is satis- 

 fied. 



While stock was not up to the usual 

 standard at Easter, still, at every place 

 the writer inquired, it was said that the 

 holiday was one of the best Easters in 

 the history of the local trade. This, to 

 me, shows the firm hold the florists' 

 business has on the public. 



While there was not a great deal of 

 the fine stock the florists have been in 

 the habit of handling, when one went 

 into the stores all had fine displays. 

 Made-up baskets appeared to be the 

 idea of most of the florists to cover up 

 the lack of finer stock and good judg- 

 ment was shown in this respect, for in 

 every store that I visited last week 

 there was a large supply. A visit at 

 the beginning of this week showed that 

 there was nothing left.
