The Florists^ Review 



FlOBBDABT 4, 1915. 





FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



The last week of January was char- 

 acterized by cold, sunshiny days, which 

 lent vigor to both the buying and grow- 

 ing ends of the business. Sunday morn- 

 ing, January 24, started with a run on 

 funeral work, which continued through- 

 out the week, combined with a demand 

 for flowers for the sick and an abund- 

 ance of decorative work for parties, 

 receptions and dinners. Wholesale busi- 

 ness also has been good, as out-of-town 

 shipping is more than usually heavy. 

 Floriculture is certainly holding its own 

 here, for, notwithstanding the depres- 

 sion in other lines of business, the ma- 

 jority of florists are reporting a fine 

 winter season. Bulbous stock is selling 

 well, and azaleas and cyclamens are 

 meeting with a good demand. Prices 

 are good, both for plants and cut flow- 

 ers. There is an abundance of all sea- 

 sonable stock on the market, with 

 spring flowers already taking the prece- 

 dence. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Ehoda Doswell, of Geo. W. Dos- 

 well & Son, entertained, January 27, 

 a club of young women known as the 

 Birthday Anniversary Club, at dinner 

 in the English tea room. The decora- 

 tions, which were attractive, were car- 

 ried out in a great variety of flowers 

 fashioned into English nosegays, which 

 were given to the guests as favors. 



Among the many handsome floral of- 

 ferings sent to the opening of the new 

 Palace theater last week were baskets 

 of Richmond roses, and tall basket 

 vases of American Beauties and Lilium 

 Harrisii, sent by the Auger Flower 

 Shop, W. J. & M. S. Vesey, Doswell & 

 Son and the Flick Floral Co. 



John D. Arentshorst, representing 

 Baartman & Koning, bulb growers of 

 Sassenheim, Holland, called on the 

 trade last week and reported business 

 in the United States as good. Other 

 visitors during the week were: George 

 Maunz, of Eeed & Keller, New York, 

 and Sidney Bayersdorfer, of H. Bayers- 

 dorfer & Co., Philadelphia. 



Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Max have re- 

 turned to their home in Mobile, Ala., 

 after spending several months with 

 Mrs. Max's father. Judge W, J. Vesey, 

 and family. R. F.
