The Florists' Review 



July 22, 1915. 





COLUMBUS, O. 



The Maxket. 



Trade is quiet here. There is a 

 small amount of funeral work on hand, 

 but not sufficient to clean up the large 

 stocks coming in. Gladioli are plenti- 

 ful, and the quality is superior to any- 

 thing we have seen this early in the 

 season. The price is exceptionally low 

 for such a fine grade, but they are hard 

 to move at any price. Good roses are 

 appearing, but as the quantity is not 

 large, the demand keeps the situation 

 well in hand. Carnations are still to 

 be had, but the quality is falling daily. 

 Sweet peas are good, but the demand is 

 feeble. Valley has been scarce. Potted 

 plants find practically no sale, and the 

 only plants to be seen are used as store 

 decorations. 



Various Notes. 



The Eiverside Floral Co. suffered 

 severely from the recent flood, all its 

 carnations and stocks being inundated. 

 For a time, it was feared that the high- 

 water mark would exceed that of 1913, 

 and hundreds of families .fled the west 

 side district. The Scioto river, how- 

 ever, was able to take care of its 

 swollen tributaries, and possibly pre- 

 vented a repetition of the 1913 flood. 



Sherman Stephens is convalescing, 

 but it will take some time before he 

 fully recovers. J. M. 



ELYBIA, O. 



The Lorain County Florists' Club 

 organized at a meeting at the 

 Elyria Flower Store, Cheapside, July 9. 



James McLaughlin was elected presi- 

 dent, and Fred Gunton, secretary and 

 treasurer. L. C. Hecock was named as 

 chairman of the committee on by-laws 

 and Leo Smallwood as chairman of the 

 committee on membership. 



The new organization has been 

 formed for the purpose of promoting 

 a larger degree of cooperation between 

 the florists of the county. It has an 

 initial membership of about forty-five, 

 including the florists, the stockholders 

 in the different companies, and private 

 gardeners of Elyria, Lorain, Welling- 

 ton, Oberlin and Amherst. It is ex- 

 pected to hold monthly meetings, at 

 which matters pertaining to their in- 

 terests will be discussed.
