JuLX 10, 1919. 



THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



We have just received several orders for Fall goods. We advise you to 

 take the matter up now for two reasons. 



1st. You will have the goods when needed. 



2nd. You will save money. 



Goods will not be plentiful next Fall; they will be higher in price.

 column. 



Eugene Bernheimer and Mrs. Bern-

 This is Mr. Bernheimer 's first visit to

Charles W. Kahlert is confined to his

 season. 



Eobert Craig is improving a lot at

Sydney H. Bayersdorfer believes that 

 the increase in salaries me!»ns higher-

BOSTON. 



The Market. 



July is proving true to its traditions, 

 and the month of torridity is proving, 

 as usual, the slimmest of the year in 

 flower sales. Boston experienced its 

 second severe heat wave of the season 

 July 3 to 5, when temperatures of 100 

 and 101 degrees were officially recorded. 

 It was fortunate that the excessive heat 

 came when business was largely sus- 

 pended, so that the toll of suffering, 

 deaths and prostrations was light. Cut 

 flower business, which was light before 

 the warm wave arrived, dwindled to al- 

 most nothing. Prices are unquotable, 

 as there was little buying, and prices 

 were made by the purchaser and not by 

 the seller. Many flowers were almost 

 useless when unpacked, and sweet peas 

 simply withered away when exposed 

 for sale at the wholesale markets. 



Thunder storms July 6 and some much 

 needed rain brought relief, and Julv 7 

 temperatures were more nearly normal. 

 Cut flower arrivals are comparatively 

 small. Of roses there are a good man'v 

 medium shipments, mostly short- 

 stemmed stock, but carnations are few 

 and poor in quality, the bulk of the

growers beinfi; busy replanting or pre- 

 paring to do so. Sweet peas, owing to 

 the intense heat, are arriving short- 

 stemmed, but they ])rove one of the best 

 sellers at present. A fair number of 

 gladioli are coming in, mostly from 

 outdoors, some nice ])rimulinus being in- 

 cluded. About all other flowers are an- 

 nuals or herbaceous perennials. Sales 

 of greenery are small and of i)ot plants 

 almost nil. 



Sweet Pea Exhibition. 



It was unfortunate that tlie date of 

 the annual sweet pea show of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society should 

 have fallen on the day after the Fourth 

 and during the worst heat wave we have 

 suffered since 1911. In so far as sweet 

 peas were concerned, the show title was 

 a misnomer, as only one exhibitor of 

 these came forward, viz., W. G. Taylor, 

 Newport, R. I., who sliowcd splendid 

 flowers. His leading winning varieties 



The Meyer Green Florists' Thread 



is the leading thread. It is put up full 

 2 oz. to each and every spool, making 

 16 oz. actual thread to a pound. 



See that you get the Meyer Green 

 Smilax Thread and you will always 

 get the best.

were King Manoel, maroon; Hercules, 

 pink; Royal Purple, purple; Florence 

 Nightingale, lavender; Constance Hin- 

 ton, white, and King Edward, scarlet. 

 Other sweet pea exhibitors who were 

 expected failed to put in an appearance, 

 their flowers being probably scorched 

 by the heat wave. Splendid collections 

 of native plants were shown by Hill- 

 erest Farm and Mrs. F. C. Upham.
