The Florists' Review 



June 4, 1914. 



that should have arrived Friday were 

 delayed by some of the growers until 

 Saturday, and these "kept-overs" were 

 inexcusable. 



Orchids have fallen. Gigas, Mossia? 

 and Meydellii are abundant. From $10 

 to $40 per hundred was the Saturday 

 quotation. The weddings of June should 

 maintain a better average. Four dol- 

 lars per hundred would have bought the 

 best of the lilies Memorial day. Hun- 

 dreds were sold at $2 and $3 per hun- 

 dred and there remained a large accu- 

 mulation even at these unheard-of fig- 

 ures for this occasion. Valley should 

 improve in price, now that the wedding 

 bouquets are coming in. From now on 

 there will be enormous shipments of 

 peonies. The south has been liberal in 

 its supplies and the flood continues. 

 Gladioli, iris and lilac are abundant. 

 Sweet peas can hardly be given away 

 and daffodils and tulips have made 

 their departure. 



Schling's Enterprise 



Max Schling started a huge load of 

 flowers for the Celtic, in one of his 

 high-grade, plate glass motor trucks 

 last Thursday morning. May 28. The 

 truck, good for twenty years, could 

 not withstand the shock of collision 

 with a heavily loaded brewery wagon, 

 and you can imagine the mixup of 

 flower baskets and designs, plate glass 

 and the article that made Milwaukee 

 famous. Then came a police hold-up 

 of twenty minutes for investigation and 

 meantime the big ship sailed away. 

 Then came Marconi and the wireless. 

 Every patVon's commission will be exe- 

 cuted on the ship's arrival at Liver- 

 pool. Everyone to whom flowers were 

 consigned on the vessel was notified by 

 wireless before the ship passed out the 

 New York harbor, and so nobody will 

 have any fault to find. So much for 

 the Schling style of rapid thinking and 

 enterprise, regardless of expense. 



Mr. Schling had three wedding jobs 

 for June 2 and has twenty more booked 

 for later in the month. 



Various Notes. 



Don 't forget the final meeting of the 

 New York Florists' Club Monday even- 

 ing, June 8, at the rooms in the Grand 

 Opera House building, at Twenty-third 

 street and Eighth avenue. There will 

 be much news of the outing, the next 

 flower show and the trip to Boston in 

 August to interest those who attend, 

 and a stereopticon lecture as well. 



The outing committee of the New 

 York and New Jersey Association of 

 Plant Growers is composed of Julius 

 Eoehrs, Anton Schultheis and W. H. 

 Siebrecht, Jr. The annual event com- 

 mences June 2.S and will be held at the 

 Delaware Water Gap, lasting three 

 4lays. The Hotel Kittatinny is the 

 place and $12..50 each covers all ex- 

 penses. 



Mrs. I. S. Hendrickson, of Floral 

 Park, is now convalescent, after a se- 

 vere illness and operations, at a Brook- 

 lyn hospital, with every prospect of 

 complete recovery. 



The plant auctions continue and will 

 until the end of June, from present in- 

 dications. The MacNiff Horticultural 

 Co., realizing the need of greater room 

 for the crowds that attend, has leased 

 the large store next door to its present 

 headquarters and will have, when the 

 two stores are connected, one of the 

 largest seed, bulb and auction centers 

 in the country.
