The Rorists' Review 



JANUABT 8, 1920. 



BUFFALO, N. Y. 



The Market. 



The market last week was generally 

 oversold. There is no record in this 

 market of a time when stock has been 

 so short. There is usually a sufficient 

 supply after the holidays, but this is 

 not the case these days. Orders can 

 hardly be filled fifty per cent. During 

 the early part of last week carnation 

 growers cut their flowers close; even 

 buds starting to open were brought in. 

 It was expected that the next day or 

 two would bring on a better supply, but 

 no such thing happened. The weather 

 man 's re])ort accounted for a great deal 

 of this shortage and good business ac- 

 counted for the rest. It is reported 

 that we have gone through a December 

 which has been darker and colder than 

 any December in the last fifty years. 



Considering the unproductive weather 

 wc have had, it is encouraging that 

 stock kept up its good quality. Roses of 

 exceptionally fine quality arrived from 

 near-by towns. The most important of 

 these were Killarney, Maryland and 

 Sunburst. The best rose arriving was 

 Columbia, but there was not enough of 

 this stock to be important. American 

 Beauties were plentiful the latter part 

 of the week. This was due to their 

 price of $12 per dozen cutting down the 

 demand. The shorter grades moved 

 quickly. 



Various Notes. 



Chrysanthemums are still to be had. 

 The variety is Hamburg Late Pink, 

 grown at the greenhouses of C. F, Guen- 

 ther, at Hamburg. With this variety in 

 cultivation, mums can be had through- 

 out January. 



W. H. Grever, of Allen street, has put 

 up an electric sign. Mr. Grever says 

 that the advertising fever is catching 

 and the florists are getting it bad. 



J. B. Wiese will leave for New York 

 January 12. He expects to visit many 

 trade establishments. F. P. A.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



Carnation Morning Glow 



Has now been on trial in the Boston Market for 4 years and has made good. 

 It is there considered one of the "bread and butter" Carnations. 

 The grower likes it because it is an easy doer. 

 The seller likes it because it is a splendid shipper and keeper. 

 The ladies like it for its rosy morning glow shade. 

 MORNING GLOW is early, free, with a good, strong stem. It has no tricks 



about it. 

 While not one of the largest, it is probably the most profitable of all Carnations. 

 Sold by the originator. Rooted cuttings. 

 $7.00 per 100; $65.00 par 1000.
