The Florists' Review 



May 31, 1917. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



There has been little change in mar- 

 ket conditions during the last week. 

 The cold weather has kept stock from 

 developing, but there was no shortage. 

 Gladioli have made their appearance 

 in the market. Bedding plants are plen- 

 tiful and had a large sale for Memorial 

 day, together with wreaths. Outdoor 

 lilacs are coming in quantities. Roses 

 are good and sell at reasonable prices. 

 Carnations and sweet peas are abun- 

 dant. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Strobell and 

 family will go to their cottage at 

 Ocean Grove the last part of June. 



August C. Begerow has a miniature 

 flagpole in the center of his window 

 display, on which there is an American 

 flag. A concealed electric fan keeps 

 the flag waving. 



A movement has been started among 

 the Newark florists to offer prizes for 

 amateur window boxes. E. B. M. 



USINGEE'S UTTERANCES. 



The North Hill Greenhouses, at 

 Akron, O., are preparing to combat the 

 high cost of materials next fall. A 2- 

 ton truck will haul coal to the green- 

 houses. "They charge $30 per day to 

 liaul coal, so why not do it ourselves?" 

 is the question Edward Schwerdtfeger 

 asks. 



The Heepe's Sons' store had a fine 

 stock of roses and spring flowers that 

 were displayed so as to attract the eyes 

 of flower lovers and, as Mr. Riley put 

 it, "they are being attracted and buy." 



Mrs. E. Suder, of Toledo, O., has her 

 usual rush of spring trade. It is only 

 a question of getting it out, as the 

 weather has almost put a stop to plant- 

 ing and growing. 



Schramm Bros., of Toledo, O., are 

 busy getting out their orders for bed- 

 ding stock. Here, too, the weather is 

 holding stock back. 



The Helnier Flower Store, at Toledo, 

 O., is busy witli design work and cut 

 flower trade. A beautiful basket of 

 snapdragons and roses, tied with two- 

 tone ribbon, was being sent out to tlie 

 opening of a new business enterprise 

 when 1 called. 



Metz & Bateman, of Toledo. O., say 

 business has licld uji well. AVith Memo- 

 rial day near, everyone was busy and, 

 from the looks of things, will stav busv.

 to the florists' business here is C. M.

 preciated, as there is no folding or 

 hooking required. A trial will con- 

 vince you.

 ages broken. Prices as follows :
