The Florists' Rcvkw 



July 15, 1915. 



FOET WAYNE, IND. 



The Markets 



Business during the first part of last 

 ■week w^s quite good. Funeral work 

 constituted the heaviest demand, with 

 a few weddings. During the latter part 

 of the week there was a slump in the 

 market, and the temperature rose to 

 midsummer heat. 



The heat has had telling effect on the 

 cpt flower stock. Roses are somewhat 

 scarce at present. Shawyer, My Mary- 

 land, Sunburst and Eussell are holding 

 out well. Killarneys are poor. Carna- 

 tions are good, considering the lateness 

 of the season. The summer flowers are 

 as good as could be expected after the 

 heavy rains we have had. Easter lilies 

 are of splendid quality. Gladioli are 

 fine and meet with much favor, com- 

 manding good prices. Dahlias are ex- 

 ceptionally fine this year. There are 

 few asters to be seen on the market, 

 and these are of small proportions. Out- 

 door sweet peas are good in spite of 

 the adverse weather conditions. 



Various Notes. 



Several houses are being planted with 

 Shawyer roses at the Flick Floral Co. 's 

 greenhouses. Sunburst will be grown 

 in great numbers the coming season. 



At the Ankenbruck-Nussbaum wed- 

 ding, July 7, beautiful decorations were 

 carried out in summer flowers by Her- 

 bert Zur Muhlen. Many ferns and 

 palms, together with cut flowers, deco- 

 rated the altars at St. Mary's church, 

 where the wedding took place. Lilies 

 of the A'alley and white roses formed 

 the bride's arm bouquet, while the 

 maids carried Russell roses. R. F. 



NEWPORT, E. I. 



J. G. Leikens, Inc., has just pur- 

 chased a handsome new delivery car. 



James Ritchie, the younger son of 

 Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Ritchie, was re- 

 cently married to Miss Viola Hathaway. 

 He is associated with his father and 

 brother in the florists' business. 



John Garlarte, a Portuguese, for the 

 last eighteen years employed by Sam- 

 uel Smith, at Jamestown, has suddenly 

 become independently rich. He re- 

 ceived notice from Brazil of the death 

 of an uncle there, the letter stating 

 that the uncle had bequeathed his en- 

 tire estate, said to be worth $400,000, 

 to Mr. Garlarte, who, it appears, was a 

 favorite nephew. He has arranged to go 

 to Brazil at once. He is about 40 years 

 of age and unmarried. It is his inten- 

 tion to visit his mother at Fayal, 

 Azores, after he has attended to the 

 settlement of his uncle's estate.

NEW NEPHROLEPIS FERN-JOHN WANAMAKER 



We will introduce tbe above new fern on August Ist, 1916. In presenting this 



fern to tbe trade, we feel confident that it will make a place for itself. 

 The John Wanamaker fern is a wonderful advance over all plain or wavy frond 

 varieties. Tbe side pinnae of the fronds are very fully undulated, giving 

 tbe plants a very wavy appearance. It will make as many fronds as 

 Teddy, Jr., plants in 4-inch pots having over sixty fronds. It is a beauti- 

 fully formed plant, full and compact. 

 Orders will be filled strictly in rotation. 



Strong plants, 2^4-iQ. pots, - $ 4. GO per dozen. 



20.00 per 100. 

 250 at 1000 rate. 150,00 per 1000,
