The Florists' Review 



June 3, 1915. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



There has been a heavy trade here 

 in bedding plants, especially geraniums, 

 which have been cleaned up in fine 

 shape. All that showed color were sold 

 out early and many that were out of 

 bloom were also disposed of. By all 

 reports, more geraniums were sold here 

 than ever before. Other bedding plants, 

 such as salvias, petunias, vincas, etc., 

 also found a ready sale. Porch and win- 

 dow boxes have been in great demand 

 and have used up an enormous quantity 

 of stock; they are getting more pop- 

 ular every year. Ferns have found a 

 ready sale and large numbers are used 

 on porches and in window boxes. There 

 has been a good demand for palms for 

 the summer months. 



The supply of cut flowers has been 

 heavy, with the demand about up to 

 the standard, except for Memorial day, 

 when trade was a little lighter than 

 usual, as there was an enormous quan- 

 tity of peonies on the market and there 

 were several wagons loaded with them 

 standing near the cemetery gates; 

 there was also a good deal of other 

 outdoor stock, all of which had a ten- 

 dency to cut down the sale of indoor 

 flowers. Funeral work has been heavy 

 of late and used up a lot of stock. . 



Various Notes. 



Sherman Stephens reports a heavy 

 Memorial day business, which cleaned 

 up everything in the way of blooming 

 plants. 



Underwood Bros, have had a busy 

 time in the spring rush, besides having 

 a great deal of funeral work. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has 

 about got through with the usual 

 spring rush and the number of window 

 boxes was far ahead of last year. 



The Livingston Seed Co. has had 

 some extra fancy sweet peas, which 

 have found a ready sale. The firm's 

 business has been good and has cleaned 

 up a lot of stock. J. M. 



Wichita, Kan. — The Eiverside park 



freenhouse has been completed, and 

 uperintendent Engels is now busy 

 moving the plants from the old quar- 

 ters to the new. The greenhouse is 

 20x80 feet.
