The Florists^ Review 



August 5, 191S. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Trade is quiet, with plenty of stock 

 except carnations, which are scarce and 

 of poor quality. We are depending 

 upon asters to take the place of car- 

 nations. They are arriving in large 

 numbers, mostly Queen of the Market, 

 and of poor quality. Gladioli are still 

 a glut on the market, and while quan- 

 tities are sold, the prices are low and 

 leave but a small margin, if any. Boses 

 are of good quality and enough to 

 meet the demand. Beauties are of 

 slightly poorer quality and the demand 

 for them is small. Lilies are in good 

 supply, but meet with a feeble demand. 

 At times it is hard to clean them up, 

 and prices have been exceedingly low 

 in some cases. Valley is scarce; fre- 

 quently there are absolutely none to 

 be had. The sales come in spurts and 

 hardly justify a great quantity. There 

 are many common garden flowers, 

 which seem to take the place of more 

 expensive ones. 



There is some demand for plants in 

 bloom, but they are few. Ferns seem 

 to be the only thing in plants. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Sperry, of the Livingston Seed 

 Co., is home on sick leave. The doctors 

 have ordered absolute rest for several 

 weeks, as Mr. Sperry 's condition is se- 

 rious. 



Ben Flynn, of Graflf Bros., says trade 

 is quiet. 



Munk Floral Co. reports that a little 

 funeral work now and then is about 

 all coming their way. 



C. A. Eoth is busy at his greenhouses, 

 although there is little trade now. 



Fred Bauman reports the trade on 

 c- 1 ferns small. 



T. J. Ludwig has been making a run 

 on asters and gladioli. J. M. 



Grand Forks, N. D.— The J. N. Black 

 Co., which operates confectionery stores 

 in the Grand Theater building and the 

 Scandinavian-American Bank building, 

 has added a line of plants and cut flow- 

 ers. Miss Mary Boese, secretary-treas- 

 urer of the company, is in charge of 

 this department. 



Tarrytown, N. Y.— The Tarrytown 

 Horticultural Society has issued a 

 pamphlet that will be of interest to 

 many in the trade who have business 

 in the locality. It contains, in addi- 

 tion to the premium list for the ex- 

 hibition November 3 to 5, a list of pa- 

 trons and members. E. W. Neubrand, 

 of the F. R. Pierson Co., is secretary 

 and Mr. Pierson himself is chairman of 

 the board of directors.
