The Florists' Review 



January 28, 1916. 



FOBT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Businesa has been brisk, but not so 

 good as during the first part of Jan- 

 uary. Funeral work moves a large 

 quantity of flowers, especially callas 

 and Easter lilies, but society work is 

 not nearly so plentiful. 



The supply of flowers is not so large 

 as it was two weeks ago, owing to the 

 continuous dark weather, and roses and 

 carnations are almost at a premium. 

 Spring flowers are coming in slowly. 

 Daffodils, jonquils and tulips have made 

 their appearance on the local market, 

 potted as well as cut. Violets and sweet 

 peas are scarce. Primroses, cyclamens, 

 azaleas and cinerarias are selling well. 



Various Notes. 



^ The New Haven Floral Co., of New 

 Haven, Ind., is shipping some fine car- 

 nations to this market. 



Frank Knecht & Co. are cutting some 

 splendid roses and report the demand 

 good. 



The Bradley Flower Shop is showing 

 some fine cineraria plants, as well as a 

 variety of other blooming plants. 



At the Fee-Heit wedding, January 5, 

 the bouquets and decorations by the 

 Flick Floral Co. were elaborate. South- 

 ern smilax and Killarney roses formed 

 the decorations at the Heit residence. 

 The bridesmaids carried stunning hats 

 filled with Sunburst roses and tied with 

 long streamers of Sunburst ribbon, by 

 which they hung from the arm. The 

 bride's bouquet was a combination of 

 valley, lilies and white orchids, tied 

 with a handsome bridal scarf. The 

 decorations for the opening of the Pal- 

 ace theater, January 25, were also car- 

 ried out by the Flick Floral Co. Smilax 

 and Beauties were used. K. R. F. 



Missoula, Mont.— The R. & S. Flower 

 Store has secured G. H. Osterman, 

 an experienced nurseryman, to take 

 charge of the nursery department which 

 the firm plans establishing. Thirty 

 acres are ready now, and perhaps thirty

 Scully, head of the concern.

THE WONDERFUL PELARGONIUM EASTER GREETING. 



F. P. Crider & Co., of Howard, Pa., say: "Received Pelargoniums 0. K., 

 in good conditioa. A finer, healthier lot of plants we never saw. We cannot 

 praise them enough." 



If you buy a hundred the only regret you will have is that you didn't buy two hundred.

VALUABLE NEW ROSES 



Ophdii, Francis Scott Key and Prince E. C. d'Arenberg 



Growers will find all of these valuable additions to the list of standard varieties. 

 They have been tested thoroughly and have been found to have exceptional value. 



OPHELIA 



No fancy rose ever introduced pos- 

 sesses so many excellent qualities. It 

 is a splendid grower, a very free 

 bloomer and has fine stems. It sells on 

 sight. The demand undoubtedly will 

 exceed the supply. Anticipating the 

 large demand, we have propagated it ex- 

 tensively. 



Strong plants on own roots. 2V4-inch 

 pots, now ready, $15.00 per 100, $120.00 

 per 1000. 



FBANOIS SCOTT KEY 



This variety, raised by Mr. John 

 Cook, is very distinct, being entirely 

 different from any of the indoor roses 

 giown today. Flowers are rosy red and 

 are unusually large and double, resem- 

 bling very much a very full, double, 

 hardy garden rose. Coupled with its 

 large size and double form, it is an ex- 

 ceedingly free bloomer. It promises to 

 be exceedingly valuable, especially for

spring, summer and fall flowering, when 

 other less double roses are difficult to 

 handle. Its keeping qualities are re- 

 markable.

PBINCE E. C. D'ASENBEBQ 



This variety might well have been 

 termed a Red Killarney, as it possesses 

 so many of the good qualities of the 

 Killarneys. In color the flowers are 

 similar to Richmond, but they are much 

 more double, and it should prove a 

 very much more profitable rose. Flow- 

 ers have fine, straight stems on all the 

 grades — from the shortest to the longest. 

 It has fine foliage, comes away quickly 

 and is even a freer bloomer than the 

 Killarneys. We believe it is the best 

 all-round red rose that we have today. 



Strong plants on own roots, 2V4-lnch 

 pots, now ready, $12.00 per 100, $90.00 

 per 1000.
