The Florists' Review 



Januaky 22, 1920. 



We are the larg^est manufacturers of Floral Wirework in the 

 United States. We defy all comipetition in price and quality. 



Prices will not be lower than at present. 



Raw material is scarce and getting 



scarcer. Better place an order.

scarce, with no relief in sight until 

 bulbous stock comes in. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Advertising Club was 

 invited to place Valentine posters in 

 the main office and the eleven branch 

 offices of the Western Union Telegraph 

 Co. The courtesy is extended to all 

 seasons. 



"The conditions of the local market 

 are sufficient to warrant some green- 

 house building," says C. C. PoUworth. 



January 29 at the Calumet Club the 

 Florists' Club midwinter ball will be 

 held. The club officers extend an invi- 

 tation to the trade and their friends.

The Market. 



Business was so good last week that 

 there was not nearly enough stock to go 

 around. Wholesalers were turning down 

 orders every day. Wire and mail or- 

 ders were received from florists they 

 had never hoard from until then, the 

 letters being accompanied in many in- 

 stances by checks, but these did no 

 good, for there was not enough stock 

 to meet the needs of regular customers. 

 Every day saw an early cleanup. Prices 

 were high, on account of the scarcity. 

 Roses were off crop and were not being 

 quoted last week. Carnations were $8 

 and $10. There were a few more sweet 

 peas than there were the week before, 

 but yet not enough. These were $2 and 

 $3. Narcissi were $6 and $8. 



What They Did at Pleasant Hill. 



The Pinehurst Floral Co. has about 

 800 tons of coal on hand now and is 

 rotting all of its supply, which was cut 

 OiT during the coal strike. 



October 16, when the supply was shut 

 off, the company had enough coal on 

 hand to last forty days. The strike 

 was called November 1 and six days

later a force of men was put to work 

 cutting wood. The company had eight 

 cars of dry wood shipped from a point 

 in Missouri about 110 miles from Pleas- 

 ant Hill. From twenty to thirty-five 

 men cut timber every day, but, as they 

 were unaccustomed to the work, thoy 

 could not make the headway of pro- 

 fessional wood choppers, whose average 

 is about one and one-half cords a day; 

 less than a cord was the daily average 

 of these workers. 



Tliis green wood was burned along 

 with a little of the coal and the dry 

 wood, the coal being conserved religi- 

 ously, since it was not known how long 

 the strike might continue and the situa- 

 tion was one that required careful hand- 

 ling, involving the stock of all the 

 greenhouses. It was figured that it took 

 $650 worth of wood to take the place 

 of $200 worth of coal. Seven teams 

 hauled the wood in pole lengths to the
