The Florists' Review 



OCTOBEB 30, 1913. 



I- 



Crepe Flowers last longer than any others; 

 they are next to nature in form and color 

 too» making them irresistible to lovers of 

 the beautiful. They are particularly appropriate with Magnolia Wreaths, though this is only 

 one of the many ways in which they may be used to advantage. 



Crepe Flowers come in many forms— Dahlias, Chrysanthemums, Sweet Peas, Roses, 

 St. Joseph Lilies, Carnations, Calla Lilies. The colors range from white in the lilies, 

 through many colors in the other flowers: white, pink, lavender, red, pink tint and 

 purple tint.

NEWPORT, E. I. 



Sissou & Thurston were among the 

 prominent exhibitors of dahlias at the 

 annual show of the Nassau County 

 Horticultural Society at Glen Cove, N. 

 Y., recently, taking several prizes. 



The friends of Paul Volquardsen will 

 be sorry to learn that no hope is given 

 for the recovery of his eyesight, which 

 is almost entirely gone. Mr. Volquard- 

 sen has been at the Newport hospital 

 f -r several weeks but returned home a 

 few days ago. 



John M. Lynch, for many years as- 

 sistant gardener at Land's End, the 

 estate of Senator E. Livingston Beeck- 

 man, and Miss Theodora T. Taylor were 

 recently married at St. Joseph's church 

 in this city. W. H. M.

Tlie Market. 



The changeable weather, with temp- 

 erature varying from 36 to 62 degrees, 

 has probably been responsible for the 

 unevenness of trade during the last 

 week. Greenhouse stock was consider- 

 ably checked. There are practically no 

 outdoor flowers on the market except 

 cosmos. Dahlias are about over, but 

 though there has been a great scarcity, 

 there has been a much wider range of 

 varieties and the colors are beautiful. 

 Orchids, which have not been selling 

 at all fast, are moving more freely 

 now. Violets are fresher and of better 

 color, and they sell well. 



Pompons are arriving and are of 

 good quality. Chrysanthemums are in 

 great shape, and the flower stores all 

 present such a picture as is only seen 

 at this time of the year. Chrysolora is 

 the finest yellow on the market, and 

 other good varieties in white and pink 

 keep the market fairly well supplied. 

 Several growers are holding back some 

 of their best stock for the flower show. 

 Boses of fancy quality are arriving 

 daily and are cleaned up fairly well. 

 Some of last week's best sellers were 

 Beauties, Milady, Eichmond, Killarney, 

 and White Killarney, Mrs. Aaron Ward, 

 Lady Hillingdon, Mrs. Taft, Caprice, 

 Bride and Maid. A few outdoor roses 

 arrive, but sell poorly. Carnations are 

 decidedly short in stem and in quantity. 

 Few of the growers are cutting heavily 

 and red ones are the scarcest of all. 

 Valley, which had dropped awdy'stfme- 

 what, is plentiful now. Easter and 

 calla lilies are not plentiful as yet.

The Flower Show. 



"Rochester is known throughout the 

 country for its wonderful flower 

 shows," said William C. Barry at the 

 last meeting of the Rochester Florists' 

 Association, held at the store of James 

 Vick's Sons. "You have no idea," he 

 said, "of the influence this kind of 

 show exerts; it cannot be measured. 

 Whether you derive a pecuniary benefit 

 or not, you derive another sort of bene- 

 fit which is far greater. While there 

 certainly is some risk on the part of the 

 association, tb» reward is great." 



The reports of the various commit- 



tees were heard. The chairmen of the 

 committees are as follows: Felix Al- 

 berts, chairman of decoration; William 

 Crockett, assistant secretary of the 

 Chamber of Commerce, chairman of 

 advertising; Fred Vick, music; W. H. 

 Dildine, finance; Chas. H. Vick, general 

 committee. 



William Pitkin, Jr., displayed the 

 plans for the decoration of Convention 

 hall. The opinion is that the hall will 

 be fully as beautiful as in former years. 

 The exhibits will be more numerous. 



The lady florists have arranged for 

 a tea garden as a concession.
