The Florists' Review 



/ :; ■•;■ '/•'■■-•; yi . ■. ' "-.> "y^;' 'i 



JDNE 24, 1916. 



The Market. 



Business for the last two weeks has 

 been most gratifying. One rush after 

 another does not indicate the usual 

 rest in this particular trade during the 

 warmer months. With the undertakers' 

 convention for the states of Ohio and 

 Michigan, and the convention of the 

 United Commercial Travelers, florists 

 were kept busy with decorations in the 

 exposition buildings, large decorations 

 at the hotels and countless orders for 

 corsage bouquets for evening enter- 

 tainments. Besides, this month will be 

 a record-breaker for sales due to gradu- 

 ation exercises in the high schools and 

 universities, and the June weddings. 

 Almost every day some florist in town 

 had at least one large church decora- 

 tion. On Tuesday, June 15, nine 

 church decorations were noted. 



Cut flowers are in great profusion 

 and the demand is excellent. Among 

 the more seasonable flowers on the mar- 

 ket are some fine specimens of Francis 

 King and America crladioli. Peonies 

 are still abundant. The carnation crop 

 is becoming poorer, although some good 

 flowers are still to be had. Roses are 

 in good crop, especially Richmond, Kil- 

 larney, Hillingdon and Ward. Beauties 

 are in the best of bloom, with the prices 

 "at a fine scale. There is a good supply 

 of daisies, coreopsis and other miscel- 

 laneous stock. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Ida Schwartz, of the Patten 

 Flower Store, has resumed her duties 

 after several weeks of absence due to 

 illness. Miss Patten had several casket 

 covers to make last week. She is well 



pleased with business conditions since 

 Memorial day. 



Henry Miller, Toledo's largest carna- 

 tion grower, has finished planting his 

 carnation crop in the field. His carna- 

 tions look fine and promising. 



Mr. Wisner, who has greenhouses on 

 Delaware avenue, intends to remodel 

 his range this summer. 



Schramm Bros, have added to their 

 staff James McCleod, an expert land- 

 scape gardener and a member of the 

 Royal Horticultural Society of Great 

 Britain. The volume of outside work 

 that has been secured during the last 

 year in this line has compelled the em- 

 ployment of a capable manager for the 

 outside work. 



Balph Cushman has been cutting some 

 fine gladioli, which is finding a good 

 sale. G. B. S. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



The weather last week was warm, 

 which had a depressing effect on busi- 

 ness. Commencements, graduations and 

 wedding work have made up most of 

 the business, since transient trade has 

 been dull. There is an accumulation 

 of stock on the market, which makes 

 cut flowers cheap in all grades. Roses, 

 sweet peas and carnations are the flow- 

 ers most in demand for graduations. 

 Peonies have become soft. Roses in 

 all varieties are good, but the short- 

 stemmed stock is sold quite cheaply. 

 Carnations are holding up wonderfully 

 well during the warm weather and 

 bring fair prices. America and baby 

 gladioli are getting better each week. 

 Valley was scarce last week, and the 

 price is high. Orchid sweet peas are 

 poor because of the warm weather, but 

 the common varieties are quite good. 

 Orchids and Sweetheart roses are 

 scarce. Gardenias are good, but there 

 is no demand for them. 



Various Notes. 



The branch store of W. J. Palmer & 

 Son is showing some early Spanish 

 irises, which are mostly yellow. Their 

 supply of carnations is excellent and 

 large. 



The Dale Estate, of Brampton, Ont., 

 is sending some fine orchids, mostly cat- 

 tleyas, and superb valley to this mar- 

 ket. The Canadian valley is much finer 

 than any American grown stock, but is 

 more expensive. 



W. J. Palmer & Son are going to cut 

 down the store force July 1 because 

 of the dull season. They have had con- 

 siderable funeral work and large wed- 

 ding decorations during June. 



J. Benson Stafford is going to put in 

 a permanent summer window display 

 this week. It will be a study in green 

 and white, consisting of a landscape 

 setting with fountain and garden seats, 

 etc. 



The Colonial Flower Shop reports 

 business good. They are quite busy 

 with funeral work and a few good 

 decorations. 



Frank Mahoney is working for his 

 father in Rochester for the summer. 



S. A. Anderson has had the entire 

 front of his building painted white, 

 with green trimmings. It makes a 

 clean and cool-looking front. All the 

 signs are done in white on a green back- 

 ground. He had a most seasonable 

 window display last week. It con- 

 sisted of a pond, edged with logs and 

 cork bark; white pond lilies floated
