The Florists^ Review 



June 29. 1922 



the masses want more flowers; almost 

 anything pretty will do. There is a 



food deal more of this kind of stock, 

 ut there is not enough, especially as 

 the week-end approaches. Altogether 

 the market is in a healthy condition, 

 with prices quite firm, much firmer than 

 they were one month ago; yet it must 

 be clearly understood that there is noth- 

 ing like the amount of business now 

 that there was then; simply the supply 

 is smaller. 



The fancy flowers. Beauties, orchid^- 

 and valley, have been eagerly sought 

 with poor results. The first two are 

 almost out of the market for the time 

 being, while valley has been entirely 

 unequal to the demand. This was espe- 

 cially noticeable at the end of the week. 

 Gladioli have been much more satisfac- 

 tory. The new outdoor crop has come. 

 Some fine flowers have been offered in 

 new varieties and brought excellent 

 prices. The difference between well- 

 grown stock in good varieties and 

 poorly grown stock or poor varieties, or 

 both, is marked; the former often 

 bring twice as much as the liittcr, pro- 

 vided they reach the market in good 

 condition. Peonies are entirely over, 

 which gives Easter lilies a better mar- 

 ket. Sweet peas are in active demand 

 at pretty fair prices. The stock is 

 mainly outdoor now and the receiiits are 

 greatly reduced and impaired by rain. 

 Tranks to weddings, commencements 

 and entertaining, the market is above 

 the summer average.

 rists' Club's baseball league has an-
