The Florists' Revievr 



June 5, 1919. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Business has been brisk licre for the 

 last few weeks and, from all reports, 

 florists have no reason to complain. 

 There were many good days coming 

 close together, including big parades 

 of returning soldiers that made much 

 business for the trade. The Memorial 

 arch came in for many flowers. 



Eoses have been coming in well of 

 late, both as to quality and quantity. 

 Ophelia, Shawyer, Russell, Columbia, 

 Hoosier Beauty, Reid and Sunburst are 

 the main ones now. Carnations are be- 

 ginning to show the effects of the warm- 

 er weather, but still are good. There 

 is an abundance of peonies now, but 

 they were late for Memorial day. Only 

 a few were ready for cutting on that 

 day, but the day after the market was 

 flooded. Sweet peas are beginning to 

 hit the downward path as to quality, 

 but it will not be long until some good 

 outdoor stock can be had. Spanish iris 

 is coming nicely and finds ready sale. 

 The other irises sold readily for Deco- 

 ration day, but move slowly now. 

 Calendulas still are nice. Fine snap- 

 dragons are to be seen. 



Potted plants have been high in price 

 this season, but people have not kept 

 from buying them and all kinds of bed- 

 ding plants have been moving well. 



Tlie craft in general seems well satis- 

 fied with the amount of business done 

 during the spring rush. J. M. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



The sudden change in the weather 

 created a marked change in the market 

 for Memorial day. The profusion of 

 garden flowers set tlie brakes against 

 the trade's stock. Peonies especially 

 were affected. There was a large sup- 

 ply and little demand. Carnations were 

 taken up, but none too readilv. Roses 

 also were plentiful. In fact, the 

 market was not active enough to create 

 a shortage in anything except gera- 

 niums in flower. Where these were 

 handled, business was fair as long as 

 they lasted. The general price for 

 4-inch was $3 per dozon. Where extra 

 nice stock was handled they brought $4. 



Wreaths of magnolia leaves decorated 

 with flowers were generally advertised, 

 and much of the cut flower demand was 

 diverted to them. The advertising of 

 these wreaths no doubt helped the gen- 

 eral sales. Buyers who had large sup- 

 plies of lilacs in their yards, and who 

 probably would not have visited the 

 shops, bought one of these for added 

 decoration. F. P. A. 



Charleston, lU.— Mrs. C. M. Griffin. 

 groM-er of hardy flowers, says she has 

 the finest pansies, but that "the people 

 here, including herself, do not yet know 

 how to use them in quantity. About 

 hal her peony crop was frozen.
