The Florists^ Review 



NOTBMBEB 28. 1918. 



Other varieties arriving in fair supply 

 include Ophelia, Prima Donna, Septem- 

 ber Morn, Sunburst and Scott Key. The 

 market is stocked with a deluge of 

 chrysanthemums, which sell to good ad- 

 vantage. The quality is good, with 

 strong, well f oliaged stems. Mums should 

 be in splendid condition for Thanksgiv- 

 ing Turner and yellow Turner, Bonnaf- 

 fon, Maud Dean, Chrysolora, Chieftain, 

 Touset, Eaton and Yellow Eaton, Golden 

 Glow and Queen are included in the sup- 

 ply. Fair quantities of pompons in 

 many different shades are in good de- 

 mand. Single yellow and white varie- 

 ties are popular. Calendulas are still 

 in fair supply and are of excellent qual- 

 ity. Pansies are seen, but do not move 

 rapidly. The same is true of both single 

 and double violets. Their quality is ex- 

 cellent, but there is no great demand at 

 present. Carnations of good quality are 

 arriving in increased quantities, for 

 which the demand is good. Most of the 

 carnation stock arrives in medium- 

 length stems. The long-stemmed stock 

 has not as yet made its appearance. 

 There is a fair demand for Easter lilies, 

 but there is not sufficient stock to go 

 around. Orchids had a fair demand 

 during the week. Some good bouvardia 

 is seen, but only in small quantities. 

 Stevia is in good supply and, being the 

 only fine flower at this time, is much 

 sought for. Callas are small and receive 

 little call. New galax in both brown 

 and green is welcome. Leucothoe leaves 

 are selling well. Natural oak is used 

 largely with chrysanthemums. 



Various Notes. 



The Lady Florists' Auxiliary met at 

 the home of Mrs. Edwin P. Wilson No- 

 vember 19 for its monthly meeting. Fol- 

 lowing the business session a social hour 

 was enjoyed, after which refreshments 

 were served. 



George Pringle, of Salter Bros., East 

 Main street, leaves within a few days 

 for Florida, to be away untU spring. 

 George Cramer is assisting this firm and 

 will continue to do so until Mr. Pringle 's 

 return. 



Visitors to the trade this week include 

 Julius Berg, representing a ribbon house 

 of New York, and the representative of 

 the McCallum Co., Pittsburgh, Pa. 



The store of J. B. Keller Sons has been 

 redecorated during the last few days 

 and finished in white enamel. It is at- 

 tractive now with massive vases of 

 chrysanthemums. Tall square pedestals 

 finished in gold bronze are used in the 

 window with excellent effect. 



The monthly meeting of the Rochester 

 Florists' Association was not held as 

 scheduled November 18, owing to the 

 Peace celebrations. Important business 

 was to have been presented, but this 

 will come before the December meeting, 

 when it is hoped all the members will 

 make a special effort to attend. 



A handsome window display was seen 

 at the store of Collates Bros., Clinton 

 avenue, south, this week. Huge vases of 

 Bonnaffon mums were displayed, sur- 

 rounded by a number of baskets of 

 straw-flowers. Louis Collates reports 

 business as good indeed. He is looking 

 forward to a record Christmas trade. 



Salter Bros, have on display a number 

 of the Eeiber bird houses in their win- 

 dow, nicely crated and packed with ever- 

 greens. They make ideal Christmas 

 gifts and are selling well.
