The Florists' Review 



May 6. 1915. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



^ The Market. 



The warm weather of the last few 

 days has had a tendency to curtail the 

 sale of cut flowers and to increase the 

 demand for potted plants. The call 

 for bedding plants is quite heavy, even 

 at this early date, as everybody is anx- 

 ious to get them out, regardless of the 

 warnings against being too early; and 

 the consequence is, quite a quantity 

 of geraniums, as well as other plants, 

 are moved. As a result, there will no 

 doubt be a good chance to resell to the 

 same people later. 



Cut flowers have been quite plenti- 

 ful, with a good* lot of funeral work 

 to take up the stock. Carnations threat- 

 ened to be a glut a few days ago, as it 

 seemed everyone was cutting heavily 

 and there was little demand. Since 

 then, however, they have cleaned up 

 nicely. Roses have been of good qual- 

 ity and about enough in supply to go 

 the rounds. Beauties have been a little 

 scarce, with a fair demand. Sweet 

 peas are coming in good shape and are 

 still the favorite for corsage work. 

 Some fine Darwin tulips are seen and 

 they make a good display. Miniature 

 gladioli are cut heavily and are fill- 

 ing a want for something we have not 

 had all winter. 



Various Notes. 



Sherman Stephens is reported some- 

 what improved and we are all in hopes 

 he will soon be himself a^ain. 



Mrs. C. E. Stone has been seriously 

 ill for the last two or three weeks. 

 ^ J. M. 



Joplin, Mo. — The second annual rose 

 show at the Country Club will probably 

 be held on the last Sunday in May, al- 

 though the time will not be fixed defi- 

 nitely until the height of the blooming 

 season locally can be ascertained. Pres- 

 ident Burt Lyon has received a letter 

 from Benjamin Hammond, authorizing 

 the award of one silver and two bronze 

 medals in the name of the American 

 Rose Society. Wm. L. Rock, of Kansas 

 City, will act as chairman of the jury 

 of awards.
