The Florists^ Review 



Jamuabt 12. 1922 



Now he is undecided whether to turn it 

 to a quick profit or to follow the urging 

 of George C. Weiland, who lives near 

 by, and build a home on it. 



Death came last week to venerable 

 Henry Buchbinder, father of Sidney, 

 Jacob, William and Maurice. The fu- 

 neral was held January 9. In years gone 

 by the deceased had charge of the office 

 of his sons, trading as Buchbinder Bros. 



Ernst Wienhoeber, dean of the re- 

 tailers, says business this season is ex- 

 ceeding his expectations; his company 

 had a good Christmas and the new year 

 has started oflF at a pace which affords 

 him much satisfaction. 



The Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- 

 ciation has found its first motor truck 

 of such great value to the business that 

 an order has been placed for a White, 

 recognized as the best truck a florist can 

 use. Delivery is expected in a few 

 weeks. 



M. C. Wright, managing director of 

 the western interests of the Lord & 

 Burnham Co., returned January 9 from 

 a holiday in Texas with his family. 



The A. B. C. received and distributed 

 a car of cannas and caladiums last week. 

 Two more cars are rolling. 



H. N. Bruns is preparing to occupy 

 his handsome new home in River Forest, 

 now nearing completion. 



Guy W. French came home from the 

 Pacific coast for the holidays. He says 

 the trade continues to be in a highly 

 prosperous and rapidly growing condi- 

 tion west of the Rockies. 



Ben. Siebrecht, of Aberdeen, 8. D., has 

 been here for several days, combining 

 business and pleasure. He says business 

 continues to be good in his section, al- 

 though collections are slower than they 

 were when produce of the farm was 

 higher. 



Ernst Amling, of Santa Ana, Cal., has 

 been shaking hands with old friends on 

 the market. His firm, Amling Bros., has 

 the big range of glass at Des Plaines and 

 another new one in California. 



INDIANAPOLIS, DTD. 



The Market. 



Cut flowers continue scarce, the most 

 numerous of them being narcissi. These 

 have been in fair demand at $4 to $6 per 

 hundred. Carnations are scarce and 

 high-priced. The prevailing price is $8 

 per hundred. Laddie brings $12 and 

 $15 per hundred. These are in good de- 

 mand and more could be used. Roses 

 are hard to procure. The price on them 

 is $8 to $40 per hundred. 



While business in general has been 

 poor, more cut flowers could be used. 

 Potted plants have been improving in 

 demand. Easter lilies have been meager 

 in supply and bring $3 per dozen. Calla 

 lilies bring $2.50 and $3 per dozen. 



Small flowers include calendulas at $3 

 and $4 per hundred. Sweet peas are 

 $2.50 and $3 per hundred and double 

 violets are $1.50 per hundred. Orchids 

 sell at $1 and $1.50 each. Mignonette 

 and marguerites are welcomed new- 

 comers. 



A large supply of potted plants is be- 

 ing offered, including Chatelaine be- 

 gonias, obconica primroses, cyclamens 

 and a few hyacinths.
