The Florists^ Review 



October 23, 1919. 



part of tlie window display in this shop 

 recently was made up of generous 

 sprays of yellow butterfly orchids and 

 choice maidenhair forn, the soft green 

 and yellow making a striking combina- 

 tion. 



The shop of A. 0. Stein has been busy 

 with luncheon and dinner decorations 

 recently, in addition to a number of 

 weddings of note. Among them was a 

 charming ceremony at the Stanford 

 Court apartments, in which chrysanthe- 

 mums were used in profusion, the nu- 

 merous colors and varieties producing 

 a lovely effect. Another wedding, a 

 home affair, was also done by Stein's. 

 Chrysanthemums, yellow gladioli and 

 delphiniums were used to carry out the 

 blue and gold scheme, while the bride's 

 bouquet was a shower of white cyclamen 

 and gardenias. M. M.

Tlie Market. 



Owing to the fine weather of last 

 week, stock has been more plentiful 

 and of better quality. Business is good 

 and stock clears easily every day. 



Dahlias have been the favorite for 

 the last few weeks and the collarette 

 type, which is gaining much popularity, 

 has been especially featured. The 

 weather has been ideal for dahlias and 

 some beautiful specimens have been 

 shown. Local chrysanthemums have ap- 

 l)eared in good quantities, but there are 

 not quite enough yet to supply the de- 

 mand and some of the shops are getting 

 a few from California. Violets are ar- 

 riving in small quantities and are 

 eagerly snapped up. Carnations are 

 more plentiful and of better quality. 

 Roses also are plentiful and bring good 

 prices. 



Various Notes. 



Richard C. Cook reports that the busi- 

 ness in his new store is even better than 

 he had anticipated. 



Henry Kahn is bringing in a small 

 quantity of mignonette of good quality. 



Martin & Forbes are being supplied 

 with especially good dahlias. 



A movement is under way for the 

 better regulation of hours in the retail 

 shops. There is no good reason why 

 flower shops should have any longer 

 hours than any other stores and it is 

 only a question of time until employees 

 will demand shorter hours and Sunday 

 closing. Most of the florists are anxious 

 to close Sundays, but, because of two 

 or three who are not willing, they all 

 keep open at least part of the day. 



Clarke Bros, are cutting some fine 

 gladioli of the Mrs. Frank Pendleton 

 variety. L. T, S.

The Market. 



The downtown flower stores are gayly 

 decorated with autumn foliage. Nearly 

 all local storemen report trade good, 

 with stock still short. 



Roses continue to have the largest 

 share of the business; there are good 

 Ophelia, Columbia and Russell roses to 

 be had. Local chrysanthemums are 

 coming in more plentifully every day. 

 Carnations are getting better in stem 

 and flower and in a few weeks the mar- 

 ket will be well stocked up with them. 

 Carnations and sweet peas are the grow-
