The Florists^ Review 



Junk 29. 1922 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



A marked change came over the cut 

 flower trade last week, due to the great 

 number of college commencements, class 

 days, graduation exercises and wed- 

 dings, and the dark, damp and dismal 

 weather which prevailed until the end 

 of the week. Cut flowers arrived in 

 much reduced numbers and stalls were 

 cleaned up daily about 10 a. m., after 

 ■which time few flowers were obtainable. 

 Conditions Monday, June 19, were excel- 

 lent, but when the various school and 

 college activities cease, a reaction is 

 bound to take place. 



Roses have not been overabundant, 

 owing to the dark weather, and have 

 sold at from $6 per hundred upwards, 

 whites selling fully as well as colored 

 varieties. Few roses with 18-inch stems 

 are now seen. A fair supply of Amer- 

 ican Beauty roses comes from outside 

 New England; they have sold well. 

 Carnations are now so poor in size and 

 quality that it needs a courageous man 

 to purchase them. Many are fit only for 

 the rubbish heap. Prices have averaged 

 better, good flowers realizing $3 per 

 hundred and a few fancies more; in 

 fact, odd lots of Laddie have made $6 

 per hundred. 



Sweet peas are far less in evidence. 

 Indoor crops are about over and, owing 

 to the series of thunder storms and tor- 

 rential cloudbursts, outdoor ones are of 

 inferior quality. The supply of gladioli 

 is not excessive and both the ganda- 

 vensis and primulinus varieties have 

 sold unusually well. Small lots are now 

 arriving from out doors. Eecent heavy 

 rains have much improved the appear- 

 ance of open-air gladioli. Considerable 

 delphinium has been coming in, but the 

 bulk goes direct from the growers to the 

 retailers' hands. 



Among miscellaneous flowers are some 

 nice snapdragons from late planting, 

 which have been selling well of late. 

 There are few callas, and longiflorum 

 lilies are outclassed temporarily by L. 

 regale, which has met with a good sale 

 of late. Gypsophila is not at all plenti- 

 ful now and the price is higher. There 

 are fewer yellow and white marguerites, 

 and w^hat bachelor's buttons arrive sell 

 well. A considerable supply of hardy 

 roses, mainly ramblers, has come in 

 of late and there has also been a good 

 call for these for decorations. Lily of 

 the valley has enjoyed a fair measure of 

 popularity. There are still white bou- 

 vardia and enough cattleyas and other 

 orchids to go around. Asparagus has 

 been in extra good demand, as well as 

 hardy ferns. 



Only a limited number of flowering 

 plants can now be had. Bedding plant 

 sales are nearly over and little stock 

 is left. Boston ferns, which many be- 

 lieved were being overgrown last win- 

 ter, are now scarce. With the increas- 

 ing number of departures for the moun- 

 tain, lake and ocean resorts, consider- 

 able activity is now to be seen in the 

 shipping trade from the wholesale 

 houses. 



Club Ladies' Night. 



The club has had some notable en- 

 tertainments on ladies' nights in former 

 years, but June 20 the concert given 

 easily eclipsed all previous efforts and 

 it will live long in the memories of the 

 nearly 400 privileged to enjoy it. Busi- 

 ness of the regular club meeting was
