The Florists' ReviKv. 



Mat 8, 1919. 



ai;bany, n. y. 



After the Easter rush it seems rather 

 quiet to get down to routine business 

 again and during the ten days follow- 

 ing Easter there has been a lull some- 

 what unusual for this season of the 

 year, perhaps owing to the Victory 

 loan campaign. 



The Rosery Flower Shop, of which E. 

 P. Tracey is proprietor, has been show- 

 ing some fine plants of calceolaria. They 

 sell well. Mr. Tracey said that his April 

 business this year was far in excess of 

 any April since he has been in business. 



The Broadway Florists, Kurth & 

 Burke, proprietors, had some nice sweet 

 peas in their window display last 

 week. Business has been good with 

 them since Easter. 



Among our leading florists in the 

 south end of the city is John T. Travi- 

 son. He is always on the jump with flo- 

 ral work and he knows how to turn it 

 out, too. 



W. C. Gloeckner had some fine snap- 

 dragon in his window this week, which 

 attracted a great deal of attention from 

 the passers-by. Mr. Gloeckner does a 

 large F. T. D. business, which he ad- 

 vertises extensively. 



The monthly meeting of the Albany 

 Florists' Club was held at the rooms 

 of the Albany Cut Flower Exchange 

 May 1. John B. Skinner, one of our 

 Central avenue florists, was elected to 

 membership. The club voted to buy a 

 $100 Victory loan bond. Already the 

 members are talking of having a flower 

 show next fall and it surely ought to be 

 a good one, when it gets under way this 

 early. H. M.

Mrs. W. H. Culp, of W. H. Culp & Co., 

 met with an accident recently. She was 

 run down by an automobile and received 

 a fractured wrist and painful bruises 

 about the head. Mrs. Gulp is able to 

 be about again, but is still suffering 

 from her injuries. The Culp company 

 reports business exceptionally good, 

 with a liberal supply in sight for Moth- 

 ers' day. 



Charles P. Mueller reports a fine Eas- 

 ter business and a continued call for 

 funeral work. Mr. Mueller has a large 

 quantity of cut flowers, the quality of 

 which is especially good. 



The weather here is somewhat unfav- 

 orable to growing. J. A. L. 



New Braimfels, Tex. — A. E. Mollen- 

 hauer, who has been growing and sell- 

 ing plants here on a small scale for some 

 time, is planning to enter the field on a 

 larger scale next fall. He will operate 

 under the firm names of the Rex Plant 

 Gardens and the Rex Floral Co.
