The Florists^ Review 



Febeuary 2. 1922 



baskets and vases of jonquils were in the 

 backffround. 



Visitors last week included E. E. 

 Blacksliaw, of the Ove Gnatt Co., La- 

 porto, Ind.; Morris M. Cohen, of Cohen 

 & Killer, New York; R. McCarthy, of 

 the M. Kieo Co., Philadelphia, Pa.; Julius 

 Berg, of Lion & Co., New York, and S. 

 Morgan, of Le Roy, N. Y. 



Harry Merritt, of St. Paul boulevard, 

 continues to cut good Pink Delight car- 

 nations. The dark weather has held 

 them back considerably, but excellent 

 cuts have been made from his own house. 



Alberts the Florist is growing a big 

 quantity of bulbous stock, the most of 

 which he is moving at his store in the 

 Triangle building. 



Watson Bros, should be proud of the 

 beautiful cyclamens which they are 

 growing this season. They are of a fine 

 strain and the colors are splendid. The 

 company is specializing in a number of 

 English novelties. 



An elaborate wedding decoration was 

 done by H. E. Wilson, at the home of 

 Mrs. A. Hatch, of East avenue, January 

 28. The hall and staircase were pro- 

 fusely decorated with long-stemmed 

 Premier roses, palms and ferns, the lat- 

 ter being festooned Avith strings of as- 

 paragus. Butterfly, Premier and Colum- 

 bia roses were used in the living and din- 

 ing rooms. The ballroom was daintily 

 arranged with baskets of jonquils and 

 freesias and the ceiling and walls, which 

 were hung with yellow bunting, were 

 covered with southern smilax. The bou- 

 quets were unusual, the bride carrying 

 white violets and orchids. Two brides- 

 maids carried double purple violets and 

 orchids, and the maid of honor carried 

 Premier roses and violets. The bride's 

 table was decorated with White Killar- 

 ney roses and freesias. H. J. H. 



PHIIiADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



Last week favored production until 

 January 28, when we received a terrible 

 snow storm from the soutli. Miscel- 

 laneous flowers accumulated, the demand 

 being insufiicient to take them all. Daf- 

 fodils and carnations declined in price; 

 the figures on some of the others cased 

 off a little, in sympathy. There Was no 

 special change in roses, except that there 

 were a few more Ophelia and Butterfly, 

 and that the light cut of Beauties is 

 more than sufiicient for the demand. 

 The crop of Cattleya Trianas is going 

 off, and prices are steadier. Tlu^ Imlh- 

 ous flowers ;ire becoming iiiijiortant. 

 Freesia Purity, in three grades, is in 

 full crop. Then there is a lavender 

 freesin. Golden Spur has entirely dis- 

 placed Trumpet major as the favorite 

 daffodil. The ]irice declines as quality 

 improves. Roman and Dutch hyacinths 

 have ceased to interest the buyers iimch; 

 these buyers are watching the tulips, 

 which are arriving rapidly. Sweet iioas 

 continue good in a gre.at range of colDr; 

 they are better and more numerous than 

 we have ever had them in .Tanuarv. 

 Callas are fairly plentiful, but there 

 are not many Easter lilies. Acacia has 

 come. 



Mr. Pennock's Active Week. 



Samuel S. Pennock has had a most 

 active week, looking after the general 

 weal that has been cTitrusted to his care. 

 January 22, he ;ittended ;i meeting of 

 the local committee of the national 

 flower show in ('lev(>land. .Tanuarv 23
