The Florists^ Review 



March 10, 1921. 



CLEVELAND, O. 



The Market. 



Most of the florists are complaining 

 about business being poor this year and 

 if they compare their sales for February 

 with last year's reports they will feel 

 rather blue, for business in general has 

 been much poorer than during previous 

 years in Cleveland. Flowers have not 

 been bringing so good prices a& hereto- 

 fore; in fact, much of the shrinkage 

 this year is due to the much lower 

 prices and until things are readjusted 

 it will continue this way. From pres- 

 ent indications, there is no telling how 

 long this readjustment will take. 



There has been a great abundance 

 of spring flowers on the market, such 

 as daffodils, tulips and yellow and 

 Paper White narcissi, but roses and 

 carnations have been cleaning up nicely. 

 The market, however, is not realizing 

 nearly the prices of previous years and, 

 even though the wholesalers and grow- 

 ers have reduced these substantially, 

 they find it rather hard to clean up 

 as in other years at this season. 



Vaxious Notes. 



The new ruling of the American Ex- 

 press Co. in regard to greens, making 

 them take first-class rates, has made it 

 impossible to sell fancy ferns and 

 smilax at the same prices as formerly. 

 The expreasage on a case of smilax to 

 this market at present runs close to $\ 

 which is altogether too much. It is 

 thought here that the florists through- 

 out the country should put up a pro- 

 test on these high rates. 



Visitors last week included E. O. 

 Everhard and wife, of Wadsworth, O.; 

 J. R. Cowgill, of Canton, O.; Mr. Lar- 

 son, of the Brown Floral Co., Canton,
