The Florists^ Review 



July 10, 1919. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



The Market. 



Market conditions have changed but 

 little since last week's report. Busi- 

 ness has picked up and flowers are not 

 in such oversupply as they were. Snap- 

 dragons are perhaps the most plentiful 

 flowers; these are in abundance in the 

 various shades. Carnations are fewer, 

 and deteriorate daily. Roses in both 

 good and poor qualities are available, 

 but were shorter last week than on pre- 

 vious weeks, ^he stems, of course, are 

 short. Lilies are scarce. 



Outdoor stock is good, and is also plen- 

 tiful. Daisies are popular. Gladioli are 

 becoming more abundant and are al- 

 ways good sellers. Baby's breath has 

 been in exceptional demand. Feverfew, 

 candytuft and coreopsis add variety. A 

 few outdoor sweet peas are in the 

 market. 



Various Notes. 



Bertermann Bros. Co. is erecting a 

 new greenhouse at Cumberland. The 

 company is remodeling the East Wash- 

 ington street range and rebuilding two 

 of the houses. 



E. P. Black, of the Garfield Flower 

 Shop, Chicago, was a visitor last week.

TOLEDO, O. 



Toledo florists showed their sporting 

 blood July 4. ^t the big arena, witness- 

 ing the championship bout between 

 Willard and Dempsey, were Thomas Mc- 

 Gee, Max Spanner, Earl Metz, Jack 

 Helmer and Frank Schramm. The trav- 

 eling fraternity was represented by J. 

 P. McCarthy, of the M. Eice Co., Phila- 

 delphia, and John A. Lambert, of Ove 

 Gnatt Co., La Porte, Ind. 



Charles Balluff, of Freeman's Flower 

 Shop, is on a three weeks' vacation, 

 fishing at the lakes. Miss Frieda Volk 

 has returned from her vacation. 



At a well attended meeting of the 

 Betail Florists' Association nearly all 

 the members expressed their intention 

 to attend the S. A. F. convention at 

 Detroit. 



The local florists report June busi- 

 ness exceptionally good, with a number 

 of weddings. The Scottwood Green- 

 houses had an elaborate decoration for 

 house, church and a tent. 



Mrs. J. B. Freeman, of The Flowers, 

 placed an elaborate decoration for the 

 movie stars, Mr. Balluff being on his 

 vacation. Mrs. Freeman had the as- 

 sistance of John Lambert, of the Ove 

 Gnatt Co., in installing the decorations.
