FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business is usually a little dull, fol- 

 lowing a holiday, but last week proved 

 to be the exception, since all of the flo- 

 rists report good business. There were 

 many parties and weddings, calling for a 

 large number of corsage bouquets. A 

 few bright days have had a telling ef- 

 fect upon stock, both as to quality and 

 quantity. Eoses and carnations are still 

 scarce, but there is a nice supply of nar- 

 cissi, violets, sweet peas and lilies to be 

 had, as well as a fine supply of plants 

 of various kinds, which find a ready sale 

 for the hospital trade. 



Various Notes. 



E. Wenninghoff reports trade good, 

 especially in the plant line. 



The Blossom Floral Co. has been busy 

 with weddings and parties during the 

 last week. 



Other lines of business are following 

 the lead of the florists in the telegraph 

 delivery business, as shown by the in- 

 quiry of one of our local candy men. 

 The candy man phoned one of the flo- 

 rists and inquired what per cent was al- 

 lowed by the florists on the tclcgrapli 

 delivery orders. The candy man had a 

 number of candy orders to fill in the 

 same way. This shows that the florists 

 have a great many good ideas that other 

 merchants are glad to follow. 



The following were among the trade 

 visitors: Mr. Bullock, of Vaughan's 

 Seed Store, Chicago; H. E. Humiston, 

 of A. Henderson & Co., Chicago, along 

 with a number of representatives of Hol- 

 land bulb firms. S. N. 



Norton, Kan. — Jolin Bimford lias 

 built a greenhouse and will no longer 

 he in the florists' business as a retailer. 

 For more than twenty-four years he has 

 taken The Review and in years past 

 looked forward to the time when Tlio 

 Review would run 200 pages. His wish 

 was fulfilled at Christmas time.
