The Florists' Review 



May 6, 1915.

The accompanying photograph has nothing to do with the 

 florists' trade in general, except, perhaps, that it is a flo- 



lists' refrigerator that

ground. We are show- 

 ing it to you for just 

 one reason, and that 

 is because, of all the 

 concerns building re- 

 frigerators in the city 

 of Chicago, we were 

 given the contract to 

 build this display re- 

 frigerator that now 

 stands in The Fair- 

 one of Chicago's largest 

 department stores. In 

 the first place, when 

 The Fair began look-

The commission holds that the rate 

 charged the Vaughan concern on moss 

 was unreasonable because it exceeded 

 the charges which would have accrued 

 had the 22-cent rate been applied, upon 

 the basis of 15,000 pounds minimum 

 weight. The commission will direct the 

 railroad to refund the overcharges on 

 seven cars of moss shipped by Vaughan 

 from Mather to Chicago, on which the 

 complaint was based, upon proper show- 

 ing of the quantities shipped and the 

 j.reight bills.

The Market. 



Last week was a counterpart of all 

 the weeks since Easter — no market un- 

 til Saturday, and then a rather better 

 clean-up than usual, but without any 

 advance in prices. The low level has 

 surely been reached; any change must 

 be for the better. Now comes Moth- 

 ers' day, and a good many are count- 

 ing on that for a good ending to the 

 present week. The inevitable shorten- 

 ing in shipments is also predicted, and 

 Memorial day will hold the market 

 steady from now until June. Wed- 

 dings are increasing in number; the 

 bookings for May, I am told, are many. 



Mothers' day is well advertised, not 

 only by the suggestions in the florists' 

 windows, but by the metropolitan 

 dailies. 



Hoses hold at the quotations of a 

 week ago, from American Beauties all 

 through the list of over a score of va- 

 rieties. After the first-class stores are 

 supplied with their selections, at the 

 top figures, the remainder go to the

The hot weather last week was one 

 cause of loss, carnations suffering the 

 most. The hottest April day ever 

 known here carried the mercury up to 

 99 degrees in the shade, and in less 

 than twenty-four hours the thermome- 

 ter fell nearly 50 degrees. A few car-
