The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 4, 1920 



cover pages, the book contains about sixteen 

 full-page colored plates. Though for two decades 

 the gladiolus has been the Childs specialty, yet 

 gladioli occupy not more than ten of the 176 

 pages and are scarcely more conspicuous in the 

 catalogue than are many of the other items of 

 stock carried by the seedsman, plantsmau and 

 nurseryman. 



DETROIT, MICH. 



The Maxket. 



The supply of stock is going ahead of 

 business and many stores are having 

 special sales these days. The flower- 

 buying public is coming back again, 

 slowly but surely, and it seems good 

 to the retailer to have bargains to of- 

 fer. Funeral work has dropped off a 

 little and what stock is moved has to be 

 pushed by window displays and special 

 sales. 



Boses are in oversupply, due more to 

 the falling off in their sale than to the 

 increased cut. Premier and Eussell lead 

 in quality, but Ophelia, in large supply, 

 is outselling all others. Columbia ar- 

 rives too much in bloom and, conse- 

 quently, is inclined to stock up the 

 market. Ward, Bon Silene and Sweet- 

 heart are in large supply. 



Carnations are bein^ cut in large 

 quantities; the quality is good, but the 

 reduced prices fail to clear the market, 

 except in the case of Mrs. C. W. Ward 

 and Philadelphia. Sweet peas and vio- 

 lets are also in large supply, but they 

 can be readily moved by those stores 

 that have special sales. 



Calla lilies are arriving in increasing 

 quantities; there are always several 

 tubs standing around waiting for the 

 buyer. Calendulas, snapdragons, wall- 

 flowers, bouvardias and buddleias are 

 plentiful. Jonquils, tulips and narcissi 

 are short in supply. 



Pot plants are plentiful and are easily 

 disposed of. 



Various Notes. 



George Doemling, of the Doemling- 

 Schimmel Co., Mount Clemens, reports 

 that they will be cutting more heavily 

 of roses shortly. This spring they will 

 have 20,000 ferns in 6-inch, 7-inch and 

 8-inch pots. H. T.

Celosia Chrysanthefolia or 'XELOSIAMUM'' 



A cross developed to its present perfection after five years of continued experiments. 

 The color is a most beautiful cardinal red. In size it resembles Chrysanthemum. Can 

 be cut and shipped from one end of the continent to the other and come up smiling. 

 Wonderful for baskets, for vases and funeral sprays. One worn individually makes a 

 handsome corsage. Can be dried, if so desired, and will readily sell at Christmas 

 time and throughout the winter. The larger ones should retail at 112.00 per dozen, as 

 we received $6.00 per dozen for them wholesale, and could not supply the demand of 

 Chicago alone. 



They are very easily grown— seed sown outdoors about May 1st will bloom from 

 July until frost. 



We offer a limited amount of seed at $2.00 per trade packet. 



STRAWFLOWER SEED 



The big money-maker for florists. We are the big shippers of the brilliant, high- 

 colored Strawflowers which receive so much comment and praise in the large cities 

 of the East and West. We are offering this seed for the first time. 



Our "Sunny" Brand Special Florists' Mixture. 

 Ox., 75c; H-lb^ $2.00; Lb., $7.00 



Sow seed in the open ground from April 1st to May 15th, or plant now in the greenhouse 

 and transplant to the open. 





ACROCLINIUM ROSEUM 



Another most beautiful everlasting, which dries easily and is most useful for baskets, 

 corsages and funeral work. 



Ox., 60c; H-1b., $2.00 



Culture same as strawflowers.
