The Rorists' Review 



NOTIUBIB 7, 1918. 



fts to remedy this shortly, however, and 

 we haven 't the slightest doubt that long 

 before winter is far advanced our sales 

 will be fully up to or ahead of last sea- 

 son. 



Excepting the above-mentioned handi- 

 cap of labor shortage and some little 

 uncertainty in transportation conditions, 

 w# can't see anything for nurserymen 

 or florists to feel blue about, and we 

 think there is something besides the 

 times that must be wrong with any es- 

 tablishment that is not doing a pretty 

 satisfactory business. There never was 

 fts much money in circulation or in such 

 free circulation as there is at the present 

 tims. 



LABOR ONLY DRAWBACK. 



"Since business began this fall we 

 have had more than we were able to ac- 

 complish with our short supply of 

 labor," reports the W. & T. Smith Co., 

 Geneva, N. Y. "There was more than 

 the average call for fruit trees and 

 about the average demand for orna- 

 mentals. If the war comes to an end 

 this winter, we expect a heavy trade in 

 ornamental stock the coming spring. 

 Inquiries now coming in make us feel 

 optimistic on the immediate outlook. 

 Prices are holding firm on an advancing 

 market: ' ' 



INDIAN APOUS. 



The Market. 



Business continues good. The enor- 

 mous consumption of the last few weeks, 

 however, is moderating. Funeral work 

 still is the potent factor, although flow- 

 ers in quantity are needed for the sick. 

 Chrysanthemums are abundant now. 

 They are of good quality also, in both 

 spray and large types. As yet their 

 presence in the market has not affected 

 either the sale or price of carnations 

 and roses. 



All Souls' day was not so important 

 an occasion as in previous years, from 

 the standpoint of the florists, as outdoor 

 stock, such as cosmos, zinnias, dahlias, 

 etc., were still available. The morning 

 of November 2 these were laid low by 

 the first heavy frost. Easter lilies have 

 been limited in supply all the fall and, 

 although callas are beginning to arrive, 

 no increase is evident in the arrivals of 

 the former. Violets have been much in 

 evidence, but a week of warm weather 

 has checked them. Greens continue 

 scarce. Potted chrysanthemums have 

 slackened, due to the popularity of cut 

 mums. Ferns are good property, but 

 extra fine ones are not plentifiil. 



Various Notes. 



The November meeting of the State 

 Plorists' Association of Indiana was 

 postponed from November 5 to Novem- 

 ber 12 on account of the ban on public 

 meetings. It is expected that the meet- 

 ing will be well attended, as the rush 

 will have subsided by that time. 



The Circle Flower Store did an un- 

 Bsual business in mums November 2 for 

 the football game of the University of 

 Indiana vs. Camp Taylor. 



O. E. Steinkamp has been in Conners- 

 ville for a short stay.
