The Florists^ Review 



March 11, 1920 



YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE 



in placing the order for this year's greenhouses now. The best 

 grade of the old genuine Louisiana Red Gulf Cypress is scarce and will 

 be more so this spring, while the cost of labor will be higher than it 

 is now. 



Our patent LEAK-PROOF locked gutter has proven a success. If 

 you are not using the same as yet, do so on your next houses and we 

 know we can add your name to our list of satisfied customers.

The Market. 



The few days of sunshine last week, 

 following the long period of dark 

 weather, awakened the hopes of every- 

 one that spring was about to put in an 

 appearance. It had an encouraging ef- 

 fect on flowers, bringing out the tulips, 

 daffodils and other spring flowers, as 

 well as carnations and roses in suffi- 

 cient quantities to cause a material drop 

 in prices. As a result of the increased 

 supply, some of the downtown stores 

 announced special price sales for Sat- 

 urday, March 6, but the weath,er was 

 not propitious and Saturday brought 

 with it the worst blizzard of the whole 

 winter. Fortunately, it was not long- 

 lived and in a few hours it spent its 

 force, although leaving the temperature 

 several degrees colder. 



From almost top-notch prices, the 

 market took a decided drop and the week 

 closed with prices about normal, with 

 an increasing supply, especially of bulb- 

 ous stock. The reports indicate that 

 there will be an unusually big cut of all 

 kinds of flowers for Easter this year and 

 that probably prices will not be so high 

 as in several years past.
