The Florists^ Review 



May 16, 1919. 



Mums and Poinsettias 



Our list of Chrysanthemums is composed of the best commer- 

 cial sorts. We will have a fine lot of young plants established 

 in pots, ready to ship at benching time. $40.00 per thousand. 



Last year we declined orders for as many Poinsettia Plants as 

 we delivered. We have trebled our propagating stock this year. 

 So come along with your orders. We root them as readily 

 as Coleus. $8.00 per hundred; $75.00 per thousand. 



Have you placed your order for our new Carnation, Ruth Baur« for 1920 delivery? 

 Write us, too, for field^grown plants of standard varieties to bench this summer.

The business for the week preceding 

 Mothers' day was greater than ever 

 this year and it was impossible to fill 

 half the orders that poured in. Boses 

 and carnations had not picked up since 

 the Easter cut, owing to the continued 

 dull weather. Besides, some of the 

 older buildings here are being demol- 

 ished to give place to new greenhouses. 

 The supply in all lines was limited. 

 Orchids were off crop and considerable 

 filling in had to be done with antir- 

 rhinum and schizanthus. 



Several orchid lovers from the United 

 States have visited the Dale Estate re- 

 cently in an endeavor to procure some 

 of the fine orchids that have been 

 brought on by this firm. No doubt 

 their interest has been aroused by the 

 decision of the Federal Horticultural 

 Board to bar orchid plants from impor- 

 tation after this month. 



Local working hours have been re- 

 vised. For the summer season it has 

 been decided to adopt a policy of fifty 

 hours per week, with increased wages. 

 This permits the men to have Saturday 

 afternoon for themselves each week.

Mothers' day business was good. Car- 

 nations were the first flowers to be dis- 

 posed of. Roses met with a good 

 demand and everybody had enough. 

 Poet's narcissi, sweet peas and snap- 

 dragons all helped out. Plants were 

 not much in demand, although 

 plenty of cinerarias, spiraeas, hydran- 

 geas and primroses were to be had. 

 Boston ferns sold well. In fact, all flow- 

 ers sold well, even though people were 

 advised by the lady originator of the 

 day — through the local press — to buy 

 Victory bonds instead of flowers.
