The Florists' Review 



May 10, 1917. 



cated, or uiuler the benclios, it" it is pos- 

 sible to liave them as hij^h as the returns 

 on the wall. We would use for the main 

 returns the same ])iping as for the main 

 ilows; that iSj eitlier one o-inch or three 

 li-iiu'h pipes. 



Witli the ])resent piping we would use 

 two 2-inch pipes or one 2'^-inch pipe as 

 the returns for the C-i)ipe coil. 



BUFFALO, N. Y. 



The Market. 



Generally speaking, business last week 

 was normal. The market maintained 

 its usual liveliness, thanks to wedding 

 and other social work. Beauties have 

 declined somewhat in quality as well as 

 in (piantity, but there is what miglit bo 

 called a fairly good demand for them. 

 Other roses cleaned u]) well last week 

 and prices again are liiglier. Kussell, as 

 usual, clears readily. White roses are 

 enjoying a fair demand. Carnation 

 prices have soared, ])ut tlie blooms are 

 of good quality. There still are heavy 

 consignments of Easter lilies, l)ut they 

 seem to move along easily. Callas, too, 

 have a good demand, but are not so 

 plentiful as the Easter lilies. Bulbous 

 stock is ])asHing out slowly. Sweet peas 

 are abundant in all grades, from the ex- 

 cellent Butterfly varieties to tlie sliort- 

 stemmed stock. 



Violets are no longer witli us and 

 leave more room for tlic sweet peas and 

 orchids. Spanish irises and baby gladioli 

 find a ready sale whenever shown, but 

 these, as yet, are in limited supjdy. Yel- 

 low daisies, mignonette, snai)dragons, 

 calendulas, niyosotis and ]iansies make 

 lip the miscellaneous list. A few ixias 

 arrived from the east and were bought 

 u|) ([uickly. The supi)ly of greens is 

 <iuite normal. Various kinds of flower- 

 ing ])lants were easily disposed of. There 

 still is a demand for azaleas in pots, 

 but these are on the wane. 



Various Notes. 



Felix Alberts visited Pliiladelphia last 

 week. He reports business as being 

 normal. 



E. J. Eancourt, of the Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., Philadelphia, and R. E. 

 Blacksliaw, of the A. L. Randall Co., 

 Chicago, were visitors last week. 



Fred Wise, of East Aurora, was iij 

 town last week. He rejiorts an excel 

 lent trade tliis season and looks for a 

 big business for Motliers' day and Me- 

 morial (lav. A. E. 



DAVENPORT, R. ISLAND, MOLINE. 



The Market. 



Trade was good last week. Roses 

 are plentiful and good. Lilies, sna])- 

 dragons, liyaciiitlis and sweet ]ieas are 

 in sufiicient (luantities for jiresent needs. 

 Tliere is some Spanish iris to be had. 

 Carnations are in sliort supjily. Daffodils 

 are about done. Prices on all stock are 

 firm. Owing to unfavorable weather, 

 bedding stock is not moving well. 



Cluh Meeting. 



The members of the Tri-City i-Morists' 

 Club met in special session at Vander- 

 veer ])ark, and a committee was a])- 

 ]»ointed to act with reference to the

 mously adopted. W. G.
