The Florists' Review 



March 17. 1921. 



Oriental Poi-i'y 



OMENTAL POPPIES 



There is a geaeral scarcity of this showy and popular 

 perenalal, which has prompted us to make early fall prop- 

 agations and we are now in position to supply a thrifty lot 

 of good plants from 3 inch pots, of the following choice Va- 

 rieties: 

 MRS. PERRY 



Beautiful salmon-rose. 



ORIFLAMME 



A large, gorgeous orange-scarlet. 



PERRY'S WHITE 



Pure satiny white, with a crimson-maroon blotch at 

 the base of each petal. 



Price, thrifty 3-inch pots, $1.50 per dozen; $10.00 per 100 



PHLOX MISS LlNGARD 



We offer an exceptionally fine stock of this grand, free, 

 early flowering, white variety, which comes into bloom late 

 in May or early in June and continues to bloom during the 

 entire season. 



Strong plants, $1.50 per dozen; $10.00 per 100; 

 $90.00 per 1000

The above prices are intended for the trade only 



rose stock ol' the couiitrv lias been coii- 

 ti'olled largely by about a dozen or 

 fifteen concerns. The surplus stock at 

 ]iresent, which is by no means large, is 

 |iractically all in their hands today. The 

 I'acific coast is the priuci])al source of 

 supply, especially of the popular hybrid 

 teas. Climbers are plentiful and are 

 easily grown on own roots almost any- 

 where. Mv observation leads me to be- 

 lieve that "the supply in 1921 and 1922 

 will be ample and at fair prices. 



Fruit Stocks Easing. 



The sup])ly of fruit trees has been 

 greatly curtailed on account of inability 

 of growers to obtain suitable stocks. 

 This, however, is being rapidly overcome. 

 The plantings last year were large, and 

 will be still larger this year, as millions 

 of American-grown stocks are being of- 

 fered. We can look for lower prices of 

 fruit trees, especially apple and peach, 

 within a year or two. Pears, plums and 

 quinces, however, will probably be short 

 for some time to come. 

 - Perennials have been short, but on ac- 

 count of the ease with which they are 

 jiropagated they should soon be plenti- 

 ful, espceially the more common vari- 

 t>ties. 



The demand for our products has in 

 the last two years been more than equal 

 to the supply. Supply and demand are, 

 a'wavs have been and always will be, 

 the principal factor in establishing 

 prices. In other words, commodity 

 prices are determined by the varying 

 ratio between su]iply and demand ami in 

 turn both these elements are affected by 

 circimistances which surround an indivi- 

 dual commodity. True to instinct and 

 fundamental conditions in the business 

 world at large, prices begin to go up 

 in proportion to the apparent shortage 

 or demand. The nurseryman has thus 

 been able during the last two years to 

 fix a fair price on his product, which in- 

 sured a reasonable return on his invest- 

 ment. 



Cooperation vs. Competition. 

 It M-ould be a happy day for all of I
