The Florists^ Review 



NOVBMBBB 17, 1921 



the new American Legion flower was a 

 late afternoon order given Schiller the 

 Florist, requiring 600, in honor of Mar- 

 shal Foch on his visit here. Few grow- 

 ers have them now, and a hurry call was 

 necessary to get that many cut at 

 Robert J. Windier 's greenhouses before 

 dark. 



Last week Hans Jepsen sent an ex- 

 hibit to the flower show at Lancaster, 

 Pa., which included twelve varieties of 

 pompons. 



At Des Plaines, Grant Wiffin is pick- 

 ing excellent sweet peas; although many 

 of the buds have dropped, enough remain 

 on the stems and develop to make good 

 bunches. 



November 14 the teamsters' strike 

 that was in full swing, here made ship- 

 ping a troublesome problem for many 

 concerns, but not for Kroeschell Bros. 

 Co. Monday afternoon a long-distance 

 telephone inquiry was received for the 

 greenhouse department while Mr. Lau- 

 tenschlager, who is the head of that 

 department, was at the Auditorium 

 hotel, busy with the activities of the 

 mum show. The call was relayed to htm 

 there, an order for a boiler was booked 

 and the boiler rolled out of Chicago the 

 same evening. 



Visitors. 



Mr. and Mrs. John Van Aart, of 

 Paducah, Ky., have been here this week, 

 combining business and pleasure. They 

 are situated in a blue grass section where 

 there has been no business depression 

 whatever, and while here they have been 

 buying the things needed for a record 

 winter's trade. Mrs. Van Aart manages 

 the store at 529 Broadway, while Mr. 

 Van Aart runs the greenhouses in Eow- 

 lantown. 



H. G. Berning and Mrs. Berning ar- 

 rived from St. Louis November 14, to 

 look over the market and attend the 

 chrysanthemum show. 



While J. T. Woods, of Handley, Tex., 

 was here last week he placed an order 

 with the A. L. Randall Co. for a com- 

 plete outfit of fixtures and supplies for 

 the new store he is about to open at Fort 

 Worth. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



Continued cool weather has somewhat 

 decreased the supplies of carnations and 

 roses and prices on these two flowers 

 show a slightly hardening tendency, al- 

 though they have advanced little. All 

 other varieties of flowers which are 

 available are in good supply and about 

 as much trouble is caused"^ in making 

 clearances as a week ago. The decision 

 to open the market for retail buving, 

 which became effective November 9, has 

 not yet had much effect, largelv because 

 it has not had sufficient publicity. Later 

 It is likely to prove considerable of a 

 factor. 



Chrysanthemums are at their flood 

 tide and there is a wide range of prices, 

 from $4 per hundred to $4 per dozen for 

 fancies. Bonnaffon is now abundant and 

 remains as popular as ever with retail- 

 ers, although a great many critical buy- 

 ers much prefer the looser and more 

 graceful flowers, which, however, will 

 not stand being treated like so much 

 cordwood, which is what salesmen and 

 retailers' assistants usually accord them, 

 Enguehard, Rager, Chieftain, White 

 Bonnaffon, Intensity, Shrimpton and 

 other old stand-bys make up the bulk of
