The Florists^ Review 



February 2. 1922 



■with a heavy run of funeral work. Tulips 

 in the smaller pots have been especially 

 good sellers. 



Orders for funeral pieces from 

 fraternal orders have formed a consider- 

 able share of the recent business for 

 Melby's Flower Sliop, as have theater 

 decorations. 



McCoy's reports a heavier cut of car- 

 nations at the greenliouse and the red 

 variety is showinj^ a good improvement 

 as to color. H. M. 



rORT WAYNE, IND. 



January has been a month of suiisliiiic 

 and florists have been benefited by it, 

 especially the growers. The zero weather 

 wliich remained with us for about a 

 week did not retard the business, as 

 most florists have reported good sales. 

 Stock is of much better quality and ar- 

 riving in greater quantity. There is a 

 shortage in roses; there are not enough 

 to supply the demand. Bulbous stock, 

 with the exception of Paper Whites, is 

 in good supply. 



The Knecht-Freese Floral Co. is cut- 

 ting some fine sweet peas. 



The Flick Floral Co. has an attractive 

 window of spring plants. 



Mr. Horn, of the Horn Floral Co., Fre- 

 mont, O., was a visitor among the trade. 



Mr. Nelson, of the Burlington Willow 

 Ware Shops, and J. Levine, of the M. H. 

 Levine Co., New York, were among the 

 trade visitors. S. N. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



Potted spring plants are coming into 

 the market in large quantities. The 

 plants are of good quality. The stems, 

 however, are a little short for free cut- 

 ting of the greenhouse stock. Carna- 

 tions are coming into the market in 

 larger quantities, but lack of sunshine 

 continues to retard the buds. Funeral 

 work forms the bulk of the work of 

 local florists. Influenza and pneumonia 

 are still prevalent. 



Harry I. Stein, jiroprietor of the 

 Terminal Flower Shop, Puldic Service 

 Terminal, finds liusiness as s.-ttisfactory 

 as could he expected with general busi- 

 ness conditions such as they are.
