The Florists' Review 



August 19. 1916 



"A Bird in the H^id"— 



You know the adage. Well, a Hydrangrea in America is worth several Azaleas 

 ia Belgium right now. Of course, the Azaleas may get out of Belli ium; we dou't 

 know; couditioDS may chang^e; certaialj it is not possible to get auytbing out of 

 Belgium at present. The war may end next week, but the chances are it won't. 

 Are you goiug to take that chance? Can you aif ord to depend altogether ou im ported 

 forcing stock, when there is pleoty of good forcing stock rig^ht here at home— 

 "Made in America"— stock that you know you can depend on? 



HYDRANGEAS, for example. We offer: 



OTAKSA, with 7 to 10 branches, at $25.00 the 100. 



5 and 6 

 4 



at 20.00 the 1*10. 

 at 15.C0 the 100. 



French Novelties, all the best ones, at $6.00 the ICO addition for the same sizes. 



They are all in six-inch pots now, plunged outside, and growing like weeds, rich, 

 deep-green, healthy foliage, and "fat" stems that promise big heads of bloom. They 

 will grow into money for you, and j ou can cash 'em next Easter. 



There ivon't be any sur- 

 plus of bloomings plants next 

 Springy. Stick a pin in that. We\Kant 

 every progressive florist to get in 

 touch with us.

Tlie Market. 



The weather last week was much bet- 

 ter than it had been for several weeks. 

 The sun was with us for about half the 

 time, and conditions consequently were 

 much more endurable. The sun brought 

 on a heavier crop of all stock, but there 

 was nothing like a glut on the market. 

 The market is fairly good. All stock 

 is moving to a greater or less degree. 



Carnations are becoming scarcer 

 every day. The old plants are almost 

 gone. Growers report that they are 

 well planted up with the new stock. 

 They say that there will be a cut from 

 the plants in a short time. Boses are 

 still scarce, but the supply has in- 

 creased materially because of the bright 

 weather. The demand, however, is 

 fully equal to the increased supply, 

 and the stock is being cleaned up daily 

 with little or no difficulty. Some fancy 

 roses are to be had at reasonable prices, 

 and the buyers are taking all that they 

 can obtain. Asters are plentiful, and 

 the quality is good. The early varieties 

 are showing up favorably, and they are 

 moving better as the supply of carna- 

 tions decreases. There are also plenty 

 of excellent gladioli. There is an abun- 

 dance of rubrum and Easter lilies seen 

 on the market daily. Outdoor sweet 

 peas are a thing of the past, but there 

 are a few good indoor peas, which find 

 a ready market. 



Taking all into consideration, busi- 

 ness is good this year, although there 

 are some radical pessimists who are 

 continually crying hard times. Orders 

 have not fallen off so much as in previ- 

 ous years, and the only indication of 

 anything out of the ordinary is the 

 slowness in meeting obligations. 



Various Notes. 



Gustave Pohl, accompanied by Mrs. 

 Pohl, left Thursday, August 12, for an 

 eastern trip. They expect to be away 

 about two weeks. A visit will be made 

 to Washington, D. C, New York and 

 other points of interest in the east. 



Gertrude Sommers, with J. M. Fox 

 & Sons, has returned from a three 

 weeks' sojourn with friends in Iowa.
