Now's the Time to Take Inventory of 

 Your Fall and Winter Supplies 



Decoration Day past and with it the close of the Spring Season, a breathing spell has arrived 

 for the Florist. Just such a time can be used most advantageously in going over your stock, 

 jotting down your requirements for the coming Fall and Winter seasons. 



Time flies — 'twill be but a short time — and when one considers the many delays in present 

 shipping facilities it is none too soon to be taking definite action in ordering your Fall and 

 Winter supplies at once.

Owing to Express embargoes on goods to be shipped to certain points we cannot guarantee imme- 

 diate shipments. However, all orders are packed ready for shipment upon receipt of same, and will be

May 28. He made large purchases for 

 Memorial day and personally inspected 

 the stock as it was being selected and 

 packed. According to Mr. Courtenache, 

 the flower business in Toledo is increas- 

 ing both fast and steadily. 



Peter Morgen, formerly in the green- 

 house business at Huntington, Ind., was 

 here for the Memorial day rush. He 

 says he has made an arrangement for 

 taking over the peony business of Dr. 

 A. J. Knapp, of Evansville, Ind., next 

 autumn. Dr. Knapp will retain the en- 

 thusiastic interest which built up, from 

 an amateur collection, a commercial 

 plantation of seventy-two acres for cut 

 flowers, but Mr. Morgen will, he states, 

 relieve the doctor of the business cares 

 and eventually take over the property. 

 The days spent here were devoted to 

 watching the sales of the stock in the 

 several commission houses handling it, 

 to get a line on the popularity and be- 

 havior of the varieties grown. Mr. Mor- 

 gen expects to spend part of the sum- 

 mer in EjltopCj , _ _^ 



L M. Hoffman,' of La I^orte, Ind., waS^ 

 in Chicago May 28. He is a busy and 

 progressive member of the fraternity. 

 The observance of Memorial day, he 

 says, broadens every year and he feels 

 that it will be the largest of our spe- 

 cial flower days for all time. Mr. Hoff- 

 man says every florist should interest 

 himself in local memorials, monuments 

 or tablets, for those who fell in the 

 world war. These will provide a place 

 for the home people to place wreaths, 

 etc., not only May 30, but on birth- 

 day and other anniversaries.

The Market. 



Because of poor weather, the peony 

 supply for Memorial day was short, but 

 stock such as lilies, cornflowers and car- 

 nations took the place of the peony. 

 Gladioli are arriving in good supply and 



are cleaning up readily. Sweet peas 

 are not good, owing to the dark weather. 

 Blooming shrubs are arriving and help 

 out nicely, especially for cemetery work. 

 Roses seem to be in good condition and, 

 as usual, find a good sale. The price 

 ranges from $6 to $25 per hundred. Car- 

 nations are still holding their own at $6 

 to $8 per hundred. Since the season on
