The Florists^ Review 



October 21. 1920 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



The weather continues too warm and 

 summer-like for the cut flower trade. 

 With asters, gladioli, dahlias, cosmos 

 and other tender flowers still blooming 

 abundantly in the open and an absence 

 of killing frosts over a large area, busi- 

 ness lacks the snap it usually has at 

 this season, although there is no great 

 surplus of anything. Chrysanthemums 

 now dominate the market. Fewer are 

 being grown than a year ago and for 

 that reason sales are quite satisfactory, 

 some select flowers making $5 and $6 

 per dozen. Such varieties as Oconto, 

 Eobert Halliday, Chrysolora and a few 

 of the newer sorts are arriving in good 

 condition, also small lots of the ever 

 popular pompons. Carnations are more 

 abundant, with the best realizing $4 

 and others going at half that price. 

 Violets as yet do not cut much figure; 

 cooler weather is needed for them. 

 Eoses are in large supply and the mar- 

 ket can barely digest them. American 

 Beauties ^re not in much demand, but 

 Columbia, Bussell, Premier, Ophelia 

 and Hadley sell well. Only a limited 

 number of long-stemmed flowers are 

 seen as yet. It is just as well, because 

 the demand is mostly for short-stemmed 

 or medium stock. 



Outdoor flowers, like gladioli, asters 

 and cosmos, still come in fairly abun- 

 dantly. White bouvardia is good, but 

 moves more sluggishly now that there 

 is a temporary let-up in weddings. Cat- 

 tleyas, such as labiata, Fabia and Por- 

 tia, are more plentiful, but prices do 

 not go below the dollar mark. Lilies 

 are in rather short supply, speciosums 

 being about over for the season. There 

 is a fairly good call for asparagus and 

 adiantum.

"You rose growers with leaky houses 

 are going to have a tough time this 

 Winter and there are many of you 

 that will wish you had a good, 

 tight, rigid house, to stop your 

 worries — that's just another 

 way of saying Foley-built 

 greeuhouses." 

 — Sayings of Phil Foley. 



STAHELIN'S 



L E Y 



GREENHOUSE 



The picture shows part of the 

 72x400-foot Steel Frame House 

 built by Foley for A. J. Stahelin, 

 Bedford, Michigan, and he says 

 it has given greater satisfaction 

 than any of his houses. Ihis 

 greenhouse is filled with roses — 

 a mark of confidence in itself — 

 for roses cannot be successfully 

 grown except in well built, ade- 

 quately heated houses. Foley 

 not only planned and shipped 

 this house, but erected and fin- 

 ished it, as well. Just ask '*A1" 

 what he thinks about it. .
