The Florists^ Review 



NOVBHBBB 18, 1919. 



Huge piles of cargo fill the docks and 

 the forwarding company which is able 

 to seize its cases as they appear and 

 cart them away before they are buried, 

 is fortunate. Extraordinary efforts are 

 being made to relieve congestion and 

 forward consignments. So growers may 

 hope for their supply ere long. 



Last week twenty-nine cases more of 

 Holland bulbs reached New York, on 

 the steamer Nieuw Amsterdam, from 

 Rotterdam, which arrived November 5. 

 The total for the season is now 35,964 

 cases.

The Market. 



Chrysanthemums are in full control 

 of the market. While this is true every 

 chrysanthemum season, it pprhaps has 

 never been so evident. The supply is as 

 great as last year's and is moving well 

 at firm prices. The buying public has 

 never had so great an interest in this 

 flower as it is displaying now. Is it the 

 cooperative publicity? At least one 

 thing is a fact; every shop gets cus- 

 tomers who mention that they have 

 read in the Sunday Courier about the 

 autumn queen and the baby pompons. 



Carnations have accumulated and 

 dropped in price. It is reported by 

 many that these do not sell at any price 

 just now and that they are carried in 

 stock because customers ask for them 

 through habit, but they buy chrysan- 

 themums. Of roses there is a fine stock 

 of the best grades and varieties, selling 

 at a low figure. 



Various Notes. 



The advertising fund has become a 

 fact. The only question now is, "Where 

 shall we put up the 'Say It with Flow- 

 ers' signs?" Many good places exist, 

 Wallace Eiss says; the only thing to do 

 is to invest more money and keep put- 

 ting the signs up. 



Fred White, employed at the green- 

 houses of G. Easier, has bought some 

 land on the outskirts of the city and 

 will grow gladioli and asters next year. 



The retail florists met last week and 

 decided that Sunday closing was such a 

 success that they should continue to re- 

 main closed. In advising all retailers 

 of this fact, the announcement argues, 

 "For the sake of your future, observe 

 Sunday and forget the few dollars you 

 might not get on Sunday." F. P. A.

 ASSOCIATION 



J. K. Rugowskt. September 15, 1919. 



Manitowoc, Wis. 



Dear Sir: — In the name of the Wisconsin State 

 Florists' Ass'n, I wish to thank you for your exhibit 

 of both the pmk and white Asters, at'our annual 

 meetiDK held at Milwaukee, September 12th. 



I am transmitting herewith the resolution passed 

 at that meeting, endorsing these asters as t)eing a 

 very meritorious flower. It was the sense of the 

 resolution that these Asters be endorsed by the asso- 

 ciation as having the largest flower and longest stems 

 and in every way being superior to any aster thus 



far seen in the market. It is with pleasure, indeed, 

 that I am permitted to send this message. 



With best wishes for the future success of this 

 flower, I am. Yours very truly, 



WISCONSIN STAIE FLORISIS' ASS'N.

The sample flowers of Asters shown were the 

 finest type of Comet or Ostrich Plume or Crego that 

 I have ever seen in 32 years' experience.
