The Florists' Review 



FlBBDABY 3, 1921 



Joseph H. Hill and W. J. Keimel, met 

 January 26 t» discuss plans for holding 

 a midwinter show of greenhouse-grown 

 roses at Hartford next year, in conjunc- 

 tion with the meetings of tlie American 

 Carnation Society and the National 

 Flower Growers' Association. 



THE BANQUET. 



Closed Enjoyable Convention. 



About eighty persons gathered in the 

 small ballroom of the New Willard 

 hotel Thursday evening, January 27, for 

 the banquet which closed the conven- 

 tion. The large party from Baltimore, 

 about thirty in number, took the place 

 of many from more distant cities who 

 left early. 



The exliibits were arrai\ged along the 

 two side walls quite effectively, while 

 here and there baskets and wall pockets 

 gave an artistic note. The gold-medal 

 exhibit of Laddie by S. J. Goddard had 

 been rearranged in basket form for the 

 second day by J. Harper Hetherington, 

 manager of the Washington Floral Co. 



After an enjoyable repast, Adolph E. 

 Gude, in the absence of J. Harper Heth- 

 erington, president of the Florists ''Club 

 of Washington, opened the evening en- 

 tertainment by introducing as toast- 

 master William F. Gude. The latter 

 made a felicitous speech of welcome. 

 Then he introduced Dr. Ball, assistant 

 secretary of agriculture, who, in his ex- 

 position of the agrarian tendencies of 

 the nation, gave his audience a new 

 view of his department's affairs. Al- 

 bert Schoondyk, present head of the 



Washington Chamber of Commerce, re- 

 lated his sudden acquisition of knowl- 

 edge of the trade's importance through 

 a visit to the range of Gude Bros. Co. 

 that day and spoke in the political be- 

 half of the citizens of the District of 

 Columbia. 



Final Business. 



C. W. Johnson gave his farewell re- 

 marks as president of the society. He 

 called upon Secretary Baur to give the 

 decision on the Texas prize for keeping 

 quality. This important award was well 

 won by Strout's, on a vase of White 

 Delight, which, after traveling 500 miles 

 and standing in the exhibition hall two 

 days, was in splendid condition. 



C. S. Strout presented the report of 

 the committee on condolences, the other 

 members of which were Fred Lauten- 

 schlager and Ernest Saunders. During 

 the last year the society had lost by 

 death Patrick O'Mara, Charles Willis 

 Ward and Jacob Schulz. 



T^heodore Dorner, for the committee 

 on final resolutions, consisting of him- 

 self, David S. Ward and S. J. Goddard, 

 expressed due thanks from the society 

 to all the agencies to which belonged 

 credit for the convention's success. 



Then a welcome to visitors to return 

 to Washington next August was warmly 

 given by Adolphus Gude, vice-president 

 of the Society of American Florists. 



J. F. Ammann, secretary of the Na- 

 tional Flower Growers' Association, 

 spoke happily of the ladies and other 

 subjects, and Mrs. Ella G. Wilson gave 

 some remarks on publicity. 



The evening closed with dancing. 



£»s THE VISITORS i»e 



Those Present. 



The number of visitors drawn by the 

 convention of the American Carnation 

 Society, the meeting of the National 

 Flower Growers' Association and the 

 various other board and committee 

 meetings was not so large as had been 

 predicted by some, in view of the fact 

 that Washington is so much nearer the 

 centers of floricultural population than 

 the cities in which the various big trade 

 meetings have been held of late. The 

 absence of a real register and the di- 

 versity of the interests at the New 

 Willard hotel made an accurate and 

 complete record of those present diffi- 

 cult to obtain. The following were

The Market. 



Business has been fairly good during 

 the last week, although it has been 

 somewhat of an uneven character. We 

 have had extremely variable weather, 

 but on the whole it has been mild, and 

 without doubt the mildest wdoter in 

 several years. 



Eoses have been a little more plenti- 

 ful than during the previous week, but 

 the demand has been such that none 

 has been left over from one day to the 

 next. Eoses are bringing a good price 

 from the short grades up, and the qual- 

 ity is fine throughout. Extra good 

 foliage is noticed on all rose stock. 

 There seems to be a run on Colum- 

 bia, both the color and the durability 

 of the bloom being especially well liked. 

 American Beauties are seldom seen, the 

 demand being extremely poor. Good, 

 well colored Cecile Brunners sell well 

 and the cut is good. Carnations have 

 been holding up well and are bringing 

 a fairly good winter price. Laddie, De- 

 light and Enchantress are used the most 

 in this locality. The supply of bulbous 

 flowers is increasing each day. This in- 

 cludes fine jonquils, which sell readily. 

 Freesias have not made much of a show- 

 ing as yet, although some excellent 

 stock is seen, which sells well. Tulips, 

 chiefly in yellow, pink and white, are 

 in good demand. Paper Whites and 

 Soleil d'Or are plentiful. Cut hyacinths 

 are good and sell fairly well for fu- 

 neral work. There is a good supply of 

 callas on the market and the sale of 

 these is much larger than the sale of 

 Easter lilies, which are also good.
