The Florists' Review 



Febeoarx 11, 1915. 



MRS. C W. WARD 



AS A BREAD-AND-BUTTER VARIETY 



What Mr. Fritz Bahr, the famous writer of "The Week's Work," in the Florists' Exchange of January 9, 1915, 

 says about this variety : 



" With a good many of the retail growers, throughout 

 the middle west in particular, the great merits of Carna- 

 tion Mrs. C. W. Ward have just been recognized and 

 appreciated. It is one of the best of it& color that we 



have today. Every retail grower should provide room 

 for at least a few, and fairly well grown slock will sell 

 at a higher price than any other of the standard sorts 

 on a glutted market." 



We have 40,000 cutting^s of this variety ready 



For other varieties see Classified list in this paper.

The Market. 



An unusually large number of deaths 

 lately is giving the florists plenty to do. 

 Boses are scarce, while carnations arc 

 in a little better supply. Romans, Pa- 

 per Whites and lilies are abundant. 

 Eoses and carnations are bringing a 

 better wholesale price than at any time 

 since the holidays and are hard to get 

 at any price. Some of the florists are 

 making preparations for a good St. 

 Valentine's day trade. It is possible, 

 by more advertising in the daily papers, 

 to increase the sales for this day con- 

 siderably. 



Various Notes. 



The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. has 

 had a big run of funeral work, making 

 it necessary to buy a good many flow- 

 ers, especially roses. The firm's own 

 cut of roses is short at this time. The 

 carnations are in better crop and the 

 cut of Romans, lilies, valley, etc., is 

 good. They have a nice display of 

 plants and flowers in the window for 

 St. Valentine's day. They have a sup- 

 ply of specially designed boxes for send- 

 ing out cut flowers as valentines. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons are having 

 a nice cut of roses and carnations, but 

 still they do not have enough for the 

 big business being done. Other flow- 

 ers, such as hyacinths, Paper Whites, 

 valley, etc., help out immensely. 



C. L. Niednagel is getting along fineh' 

 with the grafting of the rose cuttings. 

 The first batches are about ready to 

 be taken out of the frames and are 

 in good growing condition. 



J. C. Elspermann is having his share 

 of the good business. His carnations 

 are in excellent shape, with a fine crop 

 in sight. Mr. and Mrs. Elspermann and 

 the boys have all had the grip lately. 



Karl Zeidler is cutting nice lilies, 

 sweet peas and bulbous stock. 



Rojston & Fenton are short on roses, 

 but long on young smilax in 2-incii 

 pots and coleus in good assortment. 



Louis Fritsch is having a busy time 

 and has to do considerable running 

 about to get enough flowers for his 

 funeral trade. 



Miss Nellie Goodge was exceedingly 

 busy last week with funeral work. 

 Among the many pieces she made was 

 a large blanket. She has a good sup- 

 ply of bulbous stock. Her snapilragor.s 

 in the benches are coming along nicely 

 and the few carnations she has are 

 looking well.

This Ought to Be OF INTEREST to YOU 



that local powers have placed the larg^est individual orders for my 

 new Carnation "ALICE," offered to the trade this season. Some have 

 doubled and trebled their orders on successive visits. 



The color is an exquisite shade of clear, soft pink, midway between En- 

 chantress and Gloriosa. Habit of plant, ideal, strong, very early and a contin- 

 uous and without doubt the most productive commercial variety I have offered 

 to date.
