The Florists' Review 



Mat 26, 1921 



POINSETTIAS 



This popular Christmas Plant has become one of our leading specialties. We have increased our 

 stock each year until now we have one of the largest stocks in the country. We propagate them by the 

 thousands and root them as readily as coleus. Our young plants have a reputation that is nation wide. 

 Just tell us how many you need and when. We will do the rest. Booking orders now for July and later 

 delivery. From 2%-inch pots at $8.00 per 100, $75.00 per 1000, plus 5 per cent packing charge. 



MUMS 



We will have a fine lot of young plants in June and July, just right for benching. Write us for 

 varieties and prices. Our stock is free of gall-fly. 



Booking orders for field-grown Carnation plants, too. Varieties and prices on application.

The Market. 



The fact that prices dropped back to 

 normal, following the Mothers' daj' in- 

 flation, failed to stimulate the market 

 enough to move the supply of cut flow- 

 ers that came to hand last week. 



Early outdoor stock is practically a 

 month in advance and there is much 

 apprehension concerning the Memorial 

 day supply. Lilacs are already entirely 

 gone and other spring flowers will be 

 conspicuous by their absence before the 

 end of another week. Artificial designs, 

 principally wreaths and crosses of 

 magnolia leaves and wax flowers, have 

 been made up and the city is flooded 

 with them. Every corner grocery, 

 fruit stand, news dealer and variety 

 store, as well as numerous druggists, 

 have this artificial stock, while the de- 

 partment stores have it in quantity at 

 cut prices. 



Tulips, which have been especially 

 good in quality and which have been 

 increasing in popularity this spring, 

 are about done, as is other bulbous 

 stock. Carnations are beginning to 

 slack off, but roses are holding well, 

 although the larger growers are clean- 

 ing out their benches for the summer. 

 N'alley is moving slowly because of the 

 presence of large quantities of outdoor 

 stock and calendulas are finding some 

 call.
