The Florists^ Review 



May 27, 1920. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



Market conditions are about normal 

 for til is time of the year, with the ex- 

 ception of several varieties of outside 

 stock, which are much behind time, due 

 to the continued cold and cloudy 

 weather. The peony situation does not 

 look promising for Memorial day; how- 

 ever, the growers all have their hopes 

 and feel confident of meeting the de- 

 mand. Sweet peas, roses and carnations 

 have been most plentiful during the 

 week and the demand has been satisfac- 

 tory. The demand for orchids and 

 American Beauties was not so large. 



Everyone is looking forward to 

 Memorial day and the first question 

 asked is, "How are your peonies coming 

 along?" Out-of-town orders are com- 

 ing in fast and, fvom all indications, 

 there will be an ample supply of stock 

 to meet the demand. Large amounts 

 of bedding stock came in last week and 

 all cleaned up well. Local ferns are 

 also arriving in large quantities. 



Various Notes. 



The Washington Florists' Club base- 

 ball team lost its first game this season, 

 May 16. Arthur Shaffer, manager, was 

 injured during the game. 



The Louise P^lower Shop had a quite 

 appropriate window display during the 



recent horse show which was held in 

 this city. The display consisted of a 

 large horseshoe made up of white flow- 

 ers. It was placed in the center of the 

 show window. 



Stanley Holland had an exceedingly 

 sad experience last week in the loss of 

 his wife. 



The rotogravure section of the Sun- 

 day Star May 23 contained an interest- 

 ing picture of the grave of Lieutenant 

 Qucntin Eoosevelt in France, showing 

 the handsome floral piece placed there 

 for Edward S. Schmidt, of this city. 

 Mr. Schmidt is an old member of the 

 Washington Florists' Club. G. V. S. 



BRIDGEPORT, CONN. 



The Market. 



Since Mothers' day the cut flower 

 trade has been rather quiet. The sup- 

 ply has been good, but, on account of 

 the smaller demand, prices have 

 dropped. Outdoor flowers are now ap- 

 pearing. Lilacs are abundant, some 

 lilies of the valley are to be had and 

 irises are just commencing to bloom. 

 Carnations are in good supply, roses are 

 jilentiful and some fine snapdragons are 

 being cut. Among the other cut flow- 

 ers are sweet peas, mignonette, pansies, 

 calendulas, violets, marguerites and 

 Easter lilies. 



A few small weddings call for flowers 



and funeral work holds up well. Every- 

 one is busy makmg preparations for 

 Memorial day. 



The weather has been unusually cold 

 and rainy for this time of year and so 

 there has been little outdoor planting 

 up to the present time. Everyone, 

 therefore, is exceptionally busy now. 

 Florists report that they have fine lots 

 of bedding plants and a large number of 

 orders booked for cemetery work, but 

 as we seldom have more than one or two 

 pleasant days together and on many 

 days the rain comes down in torrents, 

 it is hard to get the graves and mounds 

 planted. 



Various Notes. 



The Arcade Florist reports that gen- 

 eral business is good. Funeral work 

 holds up well and bedding plants are 

 going rapidly. 



At the Park Garden & Flower Shop 

 geraniums, vincas, etc., are abundant, 

 in fine shape and going well. 



James Horan & Son report a number 

 of small weddings. Funeral work keeps 

 them busy. Cut flowers are plentiful, 

 but on account of the cloudy weather 

 outdoor stuff is scarce. 



George Pflomm has a number of 

 orders booked for cemetery work, but, 

 on account of the fact that it has been 

 so cold and stormy, lie has only just 

 started his outdoor planting.
