The Florists^ Review 



January 23, 1919. 



Jr., White Marsh, Md., underwent a se- 

 rious operation January 17, in a Balti- 

 more hospital. His condition is critical. 



A tree-planting drive has been start- 

 ed in Brooklyn. An organization of 

 boys and girls is to raise money for 

 tree planting through the salvage of 

 newspapers, magazines, tin foil and rub- 

 ber. The plane trees bordering Albany 

 avenue, from St. John's place to Dean 

 street, were planted by a similar organ- 

 ization formed through the Children's 

 Museum. The register of Kings county 

 has listed, so far, 1,200 pieces of vacant 

 property and assigned it to individuals 

 for use next spring for "Victory gar- 

 dens." 



Secretary Young, January 20, record- 

 ed the biggest arrival of mail in the his- 

 tory of his office during his incumbency. 



Ben L. Elliott, of Pittsburgh, Pa., was 

 a visitor January 18. J. H. P.

The Market. 



Supplies, with the possible exception 

 of roses, are slowly but steadily increas- 

 ing and prices show some recessions. We 

 have been experiencing climatic condi- 

 tions more suggestive of April than Jan- 

 uary, but skies have been clear during 

 only half of the last week. Roses con- 

 tinue in short supply, as all the growers 

 are decidedly off crop. American Beau- 

 ties still sell as high as $12 per dozen 

 for select stock, with the best grades of 

 Hadley at $6 and $7.50. Not half enough 

 Killarney Brilliant, Maryland and Ophe- 

 lia come in and everything is cleaned up 

 early in the morning, with only slight 

 recessions in price as compared with a 

 week ago. Carnations are lower in price 

 and excellent flowers may now be had at 

 $5, with fancies higher. Sweet peas of 

 fine quality are arriving and sell as high 

 as carnations. Yellow marguerites are 

 popular, with the better grades selling 

 at $6 and even higher. Violets con- 

 tinue scarce at $2 and $2.50. 



Lilies and callas hold up well. Stevia 

 is practically over. Calendulas and snap- 

 dragons are in small supply. Pansies sell 

 as high as $4. Valley is more plentiful 

 and of improved quality. Paper Whites 

 never sold at such prices as now pre- 

 vail; all good stock brings $8. Only small 

 lots of French Golden Spurs are seen, 

 but a nice lot of f reesia is arriving. Cat- 

 tleyas hold up well and some fine gar- 

 denias sell at from $9 to $15 per dozen. 

 Asparagus moves better now that stevia 

 is out of the way. 



Various Notes. 



The Arnold & Fisher Co., of Woburn, 

 has two of its large houses planted with 

 sweet peas, the varieties being the finest 

 procurable. One house will start to 

 flower next month, the other in time for 

 Easter. In carnations. Red Cross proves 

 far ahead of Beacon and Belle Wash- 

 burn, which are growing alongside of it. 

 Matchless, Pink Delight, Doris and Lad- 

 die also are grown. Mr. Arnold says 

 he may plant a couple of houses to roses 

 next season. 



J. K. Chandler & Son, of Tewksbury, 

 are sending in a splendid lot of Rose 

 Queen sweet peas and will cut their first 

 flowers of Iris tingitana this week. 



Welch Bros., Co. has unusually fine 

 gardenias, valley and cattleyas, and this 

 concern is headquarters for high-grade 

 marguerites. Shipping business here is 

 unusually good.
