The Florists' Review 



October 30, 1913. 



Now is the Time 



At this season the small Pompon chrysanthemum is at its 

 best. Each jear this flower becomes more popular for 

 decorative purposes. Progressive florists arrange them in 

 small baskets trimmed with suitable ribbon and find a 

 ready sale for them as novelties. 



We manufacture an extensive line of these baskets and 

 have a large stock ready for immediate shipment. The 

 prices range 10, 15, 25, 35 and 50 cents each and up.

Tlie Market. 



Trade has been good the last week, 

 with an abundance of stock in most 

 lines. The weather last week was bad; 

 it was a rainy week up to Saturday, 

 but even that did not keep the peo- 

 ple from buying flowers. Saturday was 

 a heavy day, and large quantities of 

 flowers were disposed of. The big 

 opening on Long street, from High 

 street to "Washington avenue, used 

 many flowers. The stores were all dec- 

 orated Saturday for the dedication of 

 the new lights, and a great many of 

 the stores gave away flowers. 



lioses are good at the present time 

 and the stock all looks promising for 

 later crops. Carnations are coming in 

 heavily, and, as a rule, are used up as 

 they come in. Mums are leading in 

 sales now and the supply is strong. 

 Snow, Halliday, Touset and Pacific Su- 

 preme are in full supply now, with a 

 few Chrysolora, which are just begin- 

 ning to come in, but are hardly ready 

 tor cutting. The outlook is for heavy 

 crops of mums from now on, and most 

 of the growers are going to be a little 

 shy on carnations during the mum sea- 

 son. 



Valley has been scarce, with the de- 

 mand rather light. Smilax is ex- 

 tremely scarce here and there will not 

 be any to speak of for some time to 

 come. Sweet peas are beginning to 

 make their appearance and will be wel- 

 comed for corsage work. Silver Pink

 small red cotton berry. This Holly will keep almost indefinitely if kept dry,

 better prepared to handle the trade, with a better grade of Holly. Crates

snapdragons are still much in favor 

 and it is hard to get enough to go the 

 rounds. From all reports, trade is quite 

 heavy in bulbs and quantities are sold 

 at this time. The call for plants in 

 bloom continues, with little to sell 

 {IS yet, but mums in pots are showing 

 thoinselves and a few begonias are to 

 be t^ecn; it will not be long till there 

 will be a good supply in that line. The 

 call for house ferns and ferns for 

 dishes is improving and quite a num- 

 ber are disposed of. 



Various Notes. 



The Columbus Floral Co. reports 

 plenty of mums coming in at present. 

 They have everything in order in their 

 new' location and are in good shape for 

 handling stock to good advantage. 



The Livingston Seed Co. made quite 

 a display in its windows facing Long 

 street for the big doings last Satur- 

 dav. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut- 

 ting heavily on mums, as well as on 

 roses, carnations and snapdragons. 



Sherman Stephens is cutting large 

 quantities of mums, and they find 

 ready sale at his end of town. 



Fred Bauman has bought some of the 

 old houses that were torn down at the 

 Cottage Rose Gardens. He will cut the 

 rafters to make smaller houses and will 

 erect them west of the city on a tract 

 of ground just purchased by him.
