The Florists^ Review 



JCLT 1, 1920 



Make an even stronger appeal 

 to the artistic sense of your 

 customers— use this Jardiniere 



for cut flowers, potted plants, ferns, baskets and the 

 like. Made of wood fiber, waterproofed. Handsomely 

 decorated in classic desi^fns and Wedgwood colors. In- 

 expensive—practical—flower pot shapes 4, 5 and 6-in. sizes. 



We make wood fiber basket liners that are better than tin

"Well, you see I went west on busi- 

 ness. When I got back it was awfully 

 hot. I scribbled a few lines on my card 

 and sent it with some flowers from a 

 florist's. I heard that night that her 

 father died while I was away and that 

 the funeral occurred that day. I 

 thought that the flowers were timely 

 for the funeral, showing I thought of 

 her, but I forgot the card. It read, 

 'Hopimg these will help you through the 

 heat.' She broke our engagement." 



Various Notes. 



Edward Eeid and his friend, John Li. 

 Batcliffe, of Eiehmond, Va., will sail 

 for Europe July 15. Mr. Reid's greet- 

 ing to the Statue of Liberty, on his 

 return from England at the breaking 

 out of the war, is historic. 



George Heinl, of Terre Haute, Ind.; 

 Julius Baer, of Cincinnati, O.; Otto 

 Lang, of Dallas, Tex., and E. Hibberd, 

 of Durham, N. C., have been with us. 



William Berger's Sons executed one 

 of the handsomest wedding orders of 

 the season June 26. It was an outdoor 

 wedding, with much larkspur and some 

 original touches in Edward Berger's 

 best style. 



The Florists' Club's publicity cam- 

 paign has closed for the season with a 

 balance on hand that will meet all ex- 

 penses. The committee feels that a 

 good beginning has been made. The 

 intention is to resume work this fall. 



George Aeugle has returned from the 

 seashore feeling like himself again. 



Robert Craig came up to the city 

 from Ocean Grove, N. J., June 26. 



The Florex Gardens are pushing on 

 with their rebuilding. Freight em- 

 bargoes have delayed this work. 



Much interest is felt in the future of 

 the large greenhouse of J. Stephenson's 

 Son, at Oak Lane, since the death of 

 the owner, Marcus Stephenson. It is 

 stated on reliable authority that the 

 greenhouse will be run under the man- 

 agement of Harold Eoberts until the 

 property can be sold for building lots. 

 The ground on which the house stands 

 is so valuable that florists are barred 

 from buying. 



Berger Bros, have received many com- 

 pliments on their well appointed new 

 quarters. 



Eobert B. Bragg is away on his va- 

 cation. 



C. TJ. Liggit has returned from Eich- 

 mond, Va., where he found it more 

 difficult to get things done than here. 



W. C. Dieroflf says that peonies can 

 be kept for a week or more in good 

 condition in a cellar by laying a damp

The Market. 



Until June 26 business in cut flower 

 circles was extremely good, nearly all 

 lines being well cleaned up and more 

 particularly roses, peonies, carnations 

 and sweet peas. With the passing of 

 school graduations, college commence- 

 ments and weddings, prices took a de- 

 cided drop June 26 and 28. Real sum- 

 mer is at last our lot and the warmer 

 weather is having a visible effect on 

 both the quantity and quality of sup- 

 plies. 



White roses have been and are de- 

 cidedly scarce, but colored varieties are 

 in ample supply at prices mostly from 

 $1 to $10, few going above those prices. 

 Carnations, which held up to $4 for 

 some days, have dropped to $1 and $2,

and the quality is getting quite low. 

 Arrivals are smaller, as the growers 

 are now, in many cases, pulling out 

 their stock. Sweet peas have been in 

 good demand. Few outdoor flowers of 

 these are yet arriving and most of those 

 coming in have short stems. 



There are large supplies of peonies. 

 They sold well last week, but are lower 

 now. Delphiniums are in demand at 

 $8 per hundred. Some outdoor Spanish
