The Florists' Review 



%■'■■ 



JULT 10, 191S 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



The extremely hot weather has mad^ ' 

 a decided difference in business condi- 

 tions, aside from the poorer quality of 

 the stock. Sweet peas are now selling 

 at 5 cents to 25 cents per buiich; last 

 week the Woolworth. stores sold good 

 outdoor stock for 5 cents per bunch. 

 Carnations are small and are not much 

 called for, except for funeral work. 

 Koses are of good quality for this sea- 

 son, but the extreme heat brings thein 

 out in a few hours. Outdoor planting 

 is about at an end, the season being a 

 little longer this year than usual. 



The number of weddings Mcas the 

 largest ever registered for June, ac- 

 cording to the records of the bureau. 

 This, in itself, should be the means of 

 more business, but, on the whole,,, the 

 total business was less than usial, as 

 nothing more than a small bunch was 

 ordered for most of the weddings. 



Graduations have fallen ofE badly, for 

 at one time we were kept busy the 

 whole week. The use of flowers at the 

 schools has been discouraged by the 

 men higher up, as it causes considerable 

 confusion and often bad feeling, when 

 some receive flowers and others do not. 

 That condition should be overcome at 

 once. One retailer, went to the trouble 

 of sending a man to the hall to distrib- 

 ute the flowers, relieving the school it- 

 self of the trouble. This^ same man, 

 having many bunches for the class, even 

 gave small bunches to the few pupils 

 who had none. Even with this trouble 

 overcome, the oflScials have discouraged 

 the use of flowers until the children 

 themselves do not expect them. Im- 

 proper addressing had considerable to 

 do with many mistakes which took 

 place. Though the boxes were ad- 

 dressed, some of the flowers had nothing 

 to show for whom they were intended. 

 The flowers would be removed from the 

 box, so as to have them in readiness, 

 but at the moment of presentation no 

 directions would be found on them. 

 This, I believe, had more to do with the 

 fashion being discouraged than any 

 other one thing. Confusion and mistakes 

 followed, which reflected on those in 

 charge, and the only thing they could 

 do was to discontinue the custom en- 

 tirely. The proper way, I have found, 

 is to address the box and also tie the 

 card and address on the flowers; then, 

 when the box is separated from the 

 flowers, the directions are still available. 



Various Notes. 



Building will now be in order. S. A. 

 Anderson will erect another house for 

 begonias. Joe Streit's success with be- 

 gonias and the increasing demand for 

 them has made them exceedingly profit- 

 able plants for Mr. Anderson. The 

 William Scott Co. will also erect an- 

 other greenhouse, 175 feet long, to be 

 devoted entirely to young begonia 

 stock. K. A. S. 



Lake Linden, Mich. — Bert Nicholas, 

 manager of the Pearce Floral Co., and 

 his brother, Alfred, are on a trip to 

 Cornwall, England, to visit their parents 

 at the old home at Helston. 



Norwalk, O. — E. J. Peat had some 

 surplus of spring bedding stock that he 

 cleaned up quickly by advertising it in 

 the local paper at "Half price; brinp 

 your basket." The last three words 

 told the people that he did not expect 

 to plant the stock or even deliver it.
