The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBBB 14, 1020 



for them is rather light at 10 cents to 15 

 cents per flower. Lily of the valley is 

 not plentiful, but does not seem to be 

 in strong demand at the price asked, 

 $6 to $15 per hundred sprays. A few 

 rubrum lilies move well at $8 to $10. 

 Bouvardia is in good supply, the white 

 variety, Humboldtii, being in demand 

 for wedding work. 



Violets are in increased supply, but do 

 not meet an active demand. The qual- 

 ity is fairly good for the season and 

 prices vary from day to day according 

 to the necessity for clearance. There 

 are small supplies of delphinium and 

 myosotis, yellow daisies, mignonette, 

 pansies and marigolds. Gladioli are 

 nearing their end and arrivals are of 

 poor quality. Oak foliage is arriving 

 in quantity, and in color and condition 

 is exceptionally good. 



Various Notes. 



President A. M. Henshaw, of the New 

 York Florists' Club, has sent out a 

 broadside to the trade in Greater New 

 York and vicinity urging cooperation 

 in an effort to start a local publicity 



movement in connection with the 

 national publicity campaign. This 

 course is in harmony with action taken 

 at the September meeting of the club, 

 directing that necessary steps be taken 

 to impress upon the trade the impor- 

 tance of cooperation on the part of all 

 sections of the trade in putting into 

 effect a campaign which should benefit 

 the trade of the community and sup- 

 port, to an extent, the work of those 

 interested in the national movement. 

 A fifty-mile radius has been prescribed 

 for the circulation of the broadside. 

 J. F. Ammann, Edwardsville, 111., is 

 expected in New York October 18 and 

 it is hoped that a temporary organiza- 

 tion may be arranged, so that a meet- 

 ing can be called for that date. 



Jos. S. Fenrich, whose wholesale 

 quartors are in the Eighteenth street 

 market, is making an entrance to his 

 department on the Nineteenth street 

 side of the Sixth avenue building, 

 which, it is expected, will be of mate- 

 rial convenience in the receipt and dis- 

 patch of shipments. 



A son of George Hildenbrand, of 



John Young & Co., was severely injured 

 one day last week. While riding a 

 bicycle near his home in Freeport, L. I., 

 he was attacked by a dog, which threw 

 him to the ground, rendering him un- 

 conscious and inflicting injuries from 

 which he is still suffering. 



Thomas Eoland, Nahant, Mass., presi- 

 dent-elect of the S. A. F., was in town 

 for a day or two recently. J. A. Peter- 

 son, Cincinnati, O., was a visitor last 

 week. 



C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., was in 

 town October 11, en route for Indian- 

 apolis, where he expected to look in 

 upon the F. T. D. meeting if the itin- 

 erary for a trip among western grow- 

 ers allowed him to do so. 



Leikens has the contract for the 

 floral decorations at the horse show to 

 take place in Madison Square Garden 

 shortly. J. H. P. 



Manhattan, N. Y. — A new firm will 

 open here shortly, to be known as J. F. 

 Hauser, Inc., capitalized at $10,000. 

 The incorporating stockholders are H.
