The Florists^ Review 



MAitCH 3, 1921 



rORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Market conditions changed somewhat 

 last week. Prices of cut flowers liave 

 taken a drop and tlie supply of orchids 

 has shortened. Otherwise stock of all 

 kinds is plentiful, with the exception 

 of roses. From the report^ of the differ- 

 ent florists, the cineraria crop has all 

 come on at once and is inclined to be a 

 drug on the market. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. R. W. Doswell has returned to 

 her duties in the store after her ill- 

 ness. 



The Lanternier Florists have been 

 having special week-end sales of plants 

 and bulbous stock, which have proved 

 that it pays to advertise. Mrs. A. J. 

 Lanternier is visiting her daughter, 

 Mrs. O'Connor, at Grand Kapids, Mich. 



Ralph Tinkham states that the special 

 sale of carnations, lasting one day, was 

 a big success. 



At the store of E. C. Wcnninglioff 

 everyone was kept busy with funeral 

 work. 



The Blossom Floral Co. re]iorts that 

 the sales of bulbous stock, both in 

 plants and cut flowers, were unusually 

 heavy.

The Market. 



'Ihi' \>.su;ii dullness of the Lenten sea- 

 son has Vjeen reflected in the diminished 

 volume of business in tlie flower trade, 

 few cut flowers being used. Funeral 

 work holds up slightly better than usual, 

 but the abundance of bulbous stock that 

 is daily coming into the market tends 

 to keep ]iric-es down. Pots and pans of 

 blooming bulbo\is jilants have made 

 their appc'iranco and find ready sale, 

 and report.'- indicate a good supjdy for 

 Easter.

AGERATUM FRASERII 



We feel oonndoiU in offering Ageratum "Fraserii" to our customers that we are 

 ottering what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line 

 ill recent years: tliat is, a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In 

 our trial grounds last summer "Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other bed- 

 ding plant. It only grew about eight to ten inches high and was covered the entire 

 summer with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of flowers, as many of them 

 were over two and one-hall inches across, while the individual flower would be seven- 

 eighths of an inch in diameter. The plant spreads about twelve to fifteen inches across. 

 It can easily be used with alternantheras as a border plant. 



Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.
