The Florists* Review 



Mat 6, 1915. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



The market the last few weeks has 

 been away off color. Beginning a few 

 days after Easter and continuing up to 

 May 1, we have had more hot, dry 

 weather than we would expect in June. 

 During the last ten days more than one 

 grower has lost thousands of bulbous 

 stock that had been intended to be held 

 for Mothers' day. Boses, too, have suf- 

 fered. The big spring crop is nearly 

 gone, and the quality is not so good as 

 in other years at this season. 



Carnations are looking fine and the 

 chances for a record crop for Mothers' 

 day are good. Baby gladioli, snapdrag- 

 ons, stocks and sweet peas are in good 

 supply. The Florists' Club's advertis- 

 ing committee has been busy for a few 

 weeks -with Mothers' day publicity. 

 This year's business is expected to sur- 

 pass all others. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club, held May 3, was preceded by a 

 get-together luncheon at the Hollenden 

 hotel. A good crowd turned out. The 

 meeting was called to order at 8:30 by 

 President H. P. Knoble. Mothers' day 

 advertising and business prospects were 

 discussed at length. All are confident 

 of the largest and best Mothers' day 

 yet experienced. 



M. A. Vinsen, general booster for our 

 fall flower show, was on hand to tell 

 the members of the start already made 

 toward holding the largest flower and 

 trade show yet attempted in the middle 

 west. Carl Becherer, Dixmont, Pa., sent 

 a vase of his seedling carnation, a yel- 

 low and red variegated, which shipped 

 finely. Some of the flowers in the box 

 were cut April 27 and were perfectly 

 fresh. It looks good. F. A. F. 



Paterson, N. J. — Oh Billy Sunday's 

 Mothers' day, April 25, 40,000 carna- 

 tions were sold here by the girls who 

 were working in the interests of char- 

 ity. A clear profit of $2,565 was real- 

 ized for the Paterson Orphan Asylum.
