The Florists' Review 



Septbmbbk 8, 1921 



Ala. The parking of cars has hurt the 

 market garden trade in that our country 

 patrons cannot bring Dobbin to town; 

 so we have to go to them. Our grass 

 seed end is booming; for instance, one 

 order came in yesterday for 7,000 pounds 

 of lawn grass to a landscape gardener. 

 Our poultry branch is also productive. 

 Just see this order for 1,700 pounds of 

 poultry food." W. M. 



NEWASK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Asters, though more plentiful than 

 they ever have been before this season, 

 are still scarcer than usual, and the 

 prices are much higher than normal. 

 Local retailers are paying 50 cents a 

 dozen wholesale, which is high. Dahlias 

 are beginning to come into the market, 

 but they are not plentiful or of good 

 quality. Indications, however, are that 

 within a couple of weeks they will be 

 coming into the market in considerably 

 larger quantities and that the quality 

 will be much improved. Cosmos is just 

 appearing and it looks as if there would 

 be a good crop, both as to quantity and 

 quality. Gladioli are rapidly disappear- 

 ing. Boses are beginning to come in 

 more freely and are of excellent quality. 



Various Notes. 



Trauth the FlorisV^75 Orange street, 

 has just renovated his store, so as to 

 have it in first-class condition for the 

 aew season. 



Charles E. Maillard, 487 Orange 

 street, reports that business is dull, 

 excepting for funeral work. There has 

 been considerable of this kind of work 

 within the last few weeks. B. B. M. 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



We have been having another taste 

 of genuine summer weather, which has 

 had its effefft upon the buying public. 

 The recent rains have revived the out- 

 door stock and the market gardeners 

 are bringing quantities of gladioli, as- 

 ters, snapdragons, etc., and leaving 

 them with the florists for whatever can 

 be realized from them. The roses from 

 new stock are now arriving in abun- 

 dance and are of excellent quality, with 

 practically no demand, except for an 

 occasional wedding or funeral. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Lanternier are 

 spending a few weeks at Kenosha, Wis. 

 Clem Lanternier has returned home 

 from the sanatorium at Oxford, O., 

 where he had been spending several 

 months regaining his health. He is 

 much improved and ready to enter into 

 the fall work. 



The Blossom Floral Co. has just 

 ended its second year in the business. 

 Eecords show for the second year about 

 a twenty-five per cent increase in busi- 

 ness over the first year and the company 

 feels that the prospects for the coming 

 year are good for an increase. The 

 company reports business as mild now, 

 with a few weddings to break the 

 monotony of the funeral work. 



Balph Tinkham, of the House of 

 Flowers, has been busy the last few 

 weeks remodeling his store. It is all 

 completed now and is an attractive 

 room. The room was extended about
