The Market. 

 The market for cut flowers iiiul )il;ints 

 is opening iij> now, due mostly to the 

 fact that outdoor stock is disappearing 

 and pooplt^ are getting back to work. 

 Although there were few funer.als last 

 week, flowers moved steadily and an 

 average week was the result. Gladioli 

 have disappeared and ast(Ts .are of yioor 

 quality. Dalili.as have been poor, owiiig 

 to unfavorable weather conditions, but 

 they are now improving to such a great 

 extent that they are being carried in 



stock for both funeral bouquets and 

 hospital liunidies. Koses are of fine qual- 

 ity and plentiful and have a f.'iir mar- 

 ket. C.arn.ations are Just beginning lo 

 bloom and they cannot In; had in largo 

 (|Uantity. A few mums ;ire also appear- 

 ing, hut they ari' small and the dem.and 

 is greater than the supply. 



Various Notes. 



McbCellar rejiorts an excellent busi- 

 ness at both stores, whi(di arc carrying 

 a large supply of flowers at all times. 

 Church weddings helped to keej) the firm 

 busy last week and several weddings 

 have Tieen booked .ahead for this month. 



Josopli Katoiia had some nice jilants 

 at the state fairj whiidi took prizes. lie 

 lias some fine mums and carnations com- 

 ing on. 



jMiss Klsie Jiuiis will be at Columbus 

 next wecdv to take jiart in a celebration. 

 Many flowers will go to her, jud^ng 

 from the orders booked. She is a local 

 girl and well known. 



The Wilson Elor.al Co. had a big wed- 

 ding at Marion, 0., which kejit the com- 

 pany busy. Mrs. Wilson says that this 

 was an elaborate affair and was the 

 largest the company ever had.

language. In The Eeview, issue of Scj)- 

 t ember 8, C. T. M. asks "if it is all 

 right to take the crown buds off chrysan- 

 themums." C. H. T. replies, "It is 

 satisfactory at this time to take any 

 bud that shows on your plants." I am 

 wondering whether C. T. M. construed 

 the word "take" as meaning to leave 

 them on, or whether he took them off.

HAVE YOU A SURPLUS? 



Many florists make it a point to pro 

 duee each season a s'urplus over and 

 .above the requirements of their home 

 trade, knowing that all good stock is 

 easily converted into cash by the usi 

 of Classified ads in The Review. Lik-e 

 this: 



I am sold out of the stock advertised in The 

 Kevicw. Advise wliat I owe for your services. 

 C. M. FoUnier, Tliarptown Greenhouses, Shamo- 

 liln. Pa., September 19, 1921. 



'J'he riassifled ad has served its purpose.- - 

 Kolf Zetlitz Co., Columbus, 0., September 1", 

 lOlil. 



I'lease stop tlie ads at once, as we are turnine 

 back about $150 ia cheeks every day now. — J. 

 Zwierzycki & Sous, Springfield, 111., September 

 17, IMl, 



If you hear a man complain of the 



cost of advertising you can be pretty 



certain he spends a good bit of money 



elsewhere than in The Review. 



A TECHNICAL TERM. 



I think it is rather unfortunate that 

 it is so easy to misconstrue our technical 



Crawfordsvllle, Ind. — The Jeff Mc 

 Donald Floral Co. has filed preliminary 

 certificate of dissolution. 



NEW YORKERS' JOINT MEETING. 



Officers Reelected. 



The New York Federation of Horti- 

 r'ultur.al and Floricultural Clubs held its 

 annual meeting at - p. m., September 

 l-"i, in the office of Commissioner Wil- 

 liams on the state fair grounds at Syra 

 cuse, N. Y. Reiiresentat i\es were ])res- 

 eiit from memlier (dubs, iiaduding the 

 New York I'lorists" (,'lub, the New York 

 and New .lersey Plant Growers' Associa- 

 tion. Tarrytown Horticultural Society, 

 Huflalo Florists' Club, Syracuse Flo- 

 rists' Association, Rochester Florists' 

 .Xssoci.at ion and Syracuse Rose Society. 



Officers of the organization were re- 

 elected, as follows: President, Frank 

 R. Pierson, Tarrytown; first vice-presi 

 dent, Dr. E.arl A. P.ates, Syracuse, and 

 treasurer. W. A. Adams, Hiiff.-ilo. Prof. 

 Ariio II. Nehrling, of Cornell University, 

 was elected secretary to succeed Prof. 

 1^ A. White, w)io di idined rei'dection. 



A re-ohition thai the federation go 

 before the f.air commission and the gov- 

 ernor to request immediate erection of 

 a horticultural Imildiiig to house exhib- 

 its at the fair was adopted unanimously. 

 A committee, consisting of presidents of 

 allied horticultural associations, w:is ap- 

 }i<uiited to t.ake ii]' the Tii.atter. 



Plans for the Future. 



Other matters of importance were 

 discussed at the inei-ting, among them 

 the question of local and national ad- 

 vertising. It was the general consensus 

 that community .advertising, as carried 

 on by the PufTalo Florists' Cluh, the 

 Allied Florists' Association of Illinois 

 .and the Detroit Florists' Club, was the 



most effective. W. A. Adams, of But 

 falo, stated that this type of advertising 

 had placed Valentino's day and Moth- 

 ers' day among the biggest flower days 

 of the year. 



The floricultur.al work at Cornell Uni- 

 versity was also taken up for discussion. 

 Prof. Arno II. Nehrling reported that 

 the plan for remodeling the present 

 dairy building for floricultural work had 

 been abandoned. According to the new 

 plans for development of the college of 

 agriculture, which have been worked out 

 by the state architect, the department 

 of floriculture is to be housed in the 

 wing of the new Plant Industry build 

 ing. This building will be in close prox 

 imity to the present greenhouses and 

 this general scheme, which has been 

 ajiproved by the governor of the state, 

 will give the department an ojiportunity 

 to develop and correlate its work. 



Speakers at Dinner. 



At the close of the meeting the Syra 

 cuse Florists' Association, headed by W. 

 F. Bultmann, president of the associa 

 tion. took the visiting delegates in auto- 

 mobiles to the Anglers' Club, located on 

 the shore of Oneida lake. The jiarty 

 arrived at the club house ;it sunset anil 

 from those who had not had the jirivi 

 lege of visiting this beautiful lake one 

 heard many cxclamationg of wonder and 

 delight. 



At 7 p. ni. a fine dinner was served. 

 After dinner President Hultmann intro- 

 duced I'rofessor David Lumsden, super- 

 intendent of floral displays at the New 

 York state fair, as toastmaster for the 

 evening. The speakers included F. R. 

 Pierson, of Tarrytown; Prof. Arno II. 

 Nehrling, of Cornell University; W. A.
