The Florists^ Review 



Mat 29, 1919. 



FOET WAYNE, IND. 



The MarKet. 



Almost incessant rain during the first 

 part of last week had a bad effect upon 

 O'.itloor flowers and many arriving in 

 the market were of poor quality. A 

 large quantity of funeral work made 

 tra^de more flourishing Thursday. There 

 was ftlso considerable decorative work 

 for social affairs and moderate-sized 

 weddings. May day processions in vari- 

 ous churches Sunday, May 25, called for 

 a large quantity of smilax and white 

 flowers for wreaths and boutonnieres. 

 A V>enefit performance for the soldiers' 

 Community House was given at one of 

 the theaters. Many thousands of flowers 

 were sold, which were all donated by 

 local florists. 



Carnations were slightly on the short 

 side and some inferior stock arrived on 

 the market. The wholesale price was 

 8 cents. Boses were unimpeachable in 

 quality and of large quantity. There 

 was an increase noted in the supply of 

 callas. Greenhouse-grown gladioli are 

 in splendid quality and sell readily at 

 high prices. Outdoor iris meets with a 

 good call and lily of tl^f valley also 

 sells well. Shrubbery, such as deutzia, 

 spiraea, snowballs, etc., is used to good 

 advantage in the flower stores. Double 

 poeticus is meeting with popular favor 

 at 50 cents per dozen. Locally grown 

 peonies arje on the market and bring 

 $2 per dozen and up. Cattleyas are in 

 short supply. Sweet peas are selling 

 well. There is a shortage of snap- 

 dragons at present. 



The bedding plant season has started 

 with a vim since the advent of warm 

 weather. Geraniums are considerablj 

 higher than last year, but the public, as 

 a rule, is "paying without question. All 

 kinds of foliage plants are on sale and 

 going fast for Decoration day. Home- 

 grown lilacs appeared here last w^eek. 

 Blooming plants offered at present in- 

 \ elude hydrangeas, calceolarias, begonias, 

 Shasta daisy plants and yellow daisies. 

 Hanging baskets with vines and other 

 plants are having a better call this year 

 than ever. Boston ferns are also selling 

 well.
