The Florists^ Review 



Mat 25, 1922 



phiniums are seen and move quite well. 

 There is plenty of white and purple 

 lilac, mainly of the commonest vari- 

 eties, which lies around and wilts; it 

 promises to be on the wane for Me- 

 morial day. Darwin and cottage tulips 

 are practically the only bulbous flow- 

 ers seen, and the j)orson who can hold 

 them for Memorial day will receive 

 good prices for them. Plenty of nice 

 ])ansies still come in. Much finer valley 

 is coming from outdoors than from un- 

 der glass and is selling at half the price 

 of the forced article. 



There are small lots of white bou- 

 vardia and of gardenias, but their qual- 

 ity varies so much that some flowers 

 may wholesale at 50 cents a dozen and 

 others at $40 per hundred. A good sup- 

 ])ly of orchid flowers is still coming in, 

 among which La3lia j)urpurata, Cat- 

 tleya Mossia» and C. gigas and onci- 

 diums are prominent. Some fine Mil- 

 tonia vexillaria is also seen. Plant 

 trade is wonderfully brisk; bedding 

 l)lants in particular are in great de- 

 mand and promise to sell better than 

 ever before. Calceolarias, hydrangeas, 

 heliotropes, gloxinias and roses are all 

 in good demand also. 



Dealers in metal ware and other ar- 

 tificial novelties are working harder 

 than ever. Most of tlie flower stores 

 carry these "weird, metallic sympa- 

 thies," while dry goods stores, meat 

 markets, street fakers and hardware 

 stores are stocked to repletion with 

 them. A heavy shower of rain and one 

 or two hot, sunny days make these ar- 

 tificial designs distressful objects. 



Club Meeting. 



Although May is a busy month, there 

 was a fine attendance at the meeting of 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, May 

 16. Four new members were elected. 

 The death of Max P. Haendlcr was 

 reported and James Wheeler, T. D. Hat- 

 field and John G. Duguid were ap- 

 pointed a committee on resolutions. It 

 was unanimously voted to hold the 

 usual ladies' night in June and J. Har- 

 ris, in charge of the entertainment end, 

 said he would have a Swedish glee club 

 of thirty voices, a violinist from the 

 Moston Symphony Orchestra and other 

 special entert.-iiners that night. It was 

 also voted to have the usual picnic in 

 July, arrangements for both the ladies' 

 night and picnic being left to the execu- 

 tive committee. 



J^xhibits were fewer than usual. 

 Thomas W. Little had some excellent 

 plants of Calceolaria Stcwartii. James 

 Donald showed new Meriam Beam car- 

 nations, Glailiolus Peach Blossom and 

 The Bride, Malmaison carnations and 

 Primula japonica. Leonard C. Sea- 

 grove had two handsome plates of Mar- 

 shall strawberries. He said that he 

 took runners in July, fruited the plants 

 in 6-inch pots and never fed his plants, 

 which carried an a\erage of fourteen 

 fruits ]ier pot. 



There were numerous queries in the 

 (|uestion box. One question relative to 

 the sharp advances in flower prices for 

 Mothers' d;iy and Memorial day caused 

 some discussion. J. Harris, of Penn's, 

 said that his firm made only slight ad- 

 vances in retail prices of carnations and 

 suggested the use of other flowers when 

 carnations were sold out early. May 13. 

 He did not believe in profiteering 

 charges. 



W. X. Judd named loensis Bechtelii, 

 Arnoldiana, floribunda and Sieboldii 

 calocarpa as splendid ornamental crab
