The Rorists^ Review 



Mabch 4, 1920 



BUFFAI.O, N. T. 



Tlie Market. 

 The last week in February marked 

 the end of the familiar stock famine. 

 While stock of the good grades is not so 

 overplentiful as to necessitate sacrific- 

 ing it at ridiculous prices, it is too plen- 

 tiful to bring the prices of the past and 

 some sorts broke badly. Calendulas of 

 extra quality sold as low as $3 per hun- 

 dred, sweet peas brought $2.50 for good 

 stock and carnations were $10 for the 

 best. The supply of good carnations is 

 still short, while more than enough of 

 the poor quality is coming in. 



Poor Packing. 



Many of the shipments which have 

 been arriving lately have come from 

 small growers, who, until last week, 

 have been using all they could grow. 

 Indeed, some of these newcomers have 

 been out of the market so long that they 

 seem to have forgotten what they once 

 knew about packing and some are send- 

 ing in their supplies in unsuitable, 

 square, wooden boxes, for which they 

 cut the flower stems to fit. 



The effect of poor packing on the re- 

 turns to the grower is illustrated by a 

 typical shipment which arrived during 

 the week. It was a wooden box eighteen 

 inches square, containing 350 carna- 

 tions; a man bid $5 for the box; the 

 box was opened from the side on which 

 the tag had been put; it was the bot- 

 tom. The stock was fished out and it 

 looked like a drowned cat; the man 

 backed down with his bid and another 

 took them for $4. 



Various Notes. 



The most important decoration of the 

 season was the automobile show job 

 given to A. J. Beichert. The show is 

 being held at the Seventy-fourth 

 armory. This is a wonderful building 

 in which to put up a decoration. The 

 interior, with its gallery and columns, 

 is so proportioned that even a simple 

 decoration can be put up to advantage. 

 For the work Mr. Beichert had the serv- 

 ices of Otto Schoeps. A canopy of south- 

 ern smilax hid the ceiling; 200 cases 

 were used for this purpose. For other 

 decorations, 1,000 palms, 200 crotons 

 and large numbers of other plants were 

 used. 



Charles Sandiford is back on the job 

 after a severe illness, the result of a 

 cold. 



John Kramer, of Jefferson street, was 

 the lucky man to have a nice job for a 

 wedding decoration in the church next 

 to his store February 28. 



F. P. Adams is able to get around 

 again after a few days' stay at home 

 with a cold. F. P. A.

 PINK looks like when grown to single stems and planted six inches each «Kay.

HAMBURG LATE PINK CHRYSANTHEMUM 



is an improved late pink Maud Dean, having more petals and, if grown for 

 late, will hardly ever show an open center. 



The average grower of Chrysanthemums must have varieties which are easy to handle, and 

 from which he can cut as near 100% of perfect blooms as possible. Uambarg Late Pink has 

 been grown for the last four years, and produces a very high proportion of good flowers. It la 

 not an exhibition variety, but for late pluk Is one of the best for commerrlal purposes. It can 

 be had In bloom the latter part of November by taking an early bud, but some of the flowers 

 win show open ceuters. By selecting late buds, after October 1, most of the flowers are cut 

 during December, and would advise to select late buds, as the later buds will hardly ever show 

 an open center, and some flowers can be had even In January. 



Keeping qualities are excellent and where a graceful pink flower Is wanted, Hamburg 

 LAte Pink cannot be surpassed. 



Plants ready early in March and all orders will be filled in rotation.
