The Florists' Review 



OCTOBKB 14, 1915. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Trade has been rather brisk for the 

 last week or so. There has been quite 

 a demand for funeral work and it has 

 created a shortage, especially on mums 

 and carnations; there have not been 

 enough of either and there was a scram- 

 ble October 10 for stock of any kind. 

 We have had a couple of frosts, which 

 no doubt are responsible for part of 

 the increasing demand for indoor stock, 

 as about all of the outdoor stock is 

 badly damaged. 



Boses are fine and nearly plentiful 

 enough to meet the demand, outside of 

 Ophelia and Sunburst. Beauties are 

 rather scarce, with the demand not 

 heavy. Carnations are improving 

 daily, but the stems are still a little 

 short. They have cleaned up daily. 

 Mums are coming in more plentifully 

 and find a good demand. They are 

 still a little green, but do nicely in 

 a pinch. The leading varieties are Pa- 

 cific, Estelle, Chrysolora, Halliday and 

 quite a few Early Snow. Valley has 

 been scarce of late, with demand rather 

 heavy at times. Lilies are a little 

 more plentiful, with demand about 

 equal to the supply. 



There have been few potted mums 

 as yet, with a great many calls for 

 them. Bulbs are moving nicely and it 

 looks as though the demand will be 

 about as usuid. 



Various Notes. 



Sherman Stephens is getting along 

 nicely and puts in some of his time 

 again at the old stand, where he re- 

 ceives the congratulations of a host of 

 friends. He has had a long, hard ill- 

 ness. 



Mr. Clark, in charge of the flower 

 department of the Green-Joyce Co., re- 

 ports trade as good. J. M. 



BEADING, PA. 



The Market. 



Business continues to improve, largely 

 because of weddings and parties requir- 

 ing the better grade of stock. Funeral 

 work is lively. Cut flowers are in good 

 supply, with the exception of carna- 

 tions, which are scarce as a result of 

 clouded weather conditions. Dahlias 

 are plentiful, but move slowly. Mums 

 find a ready sale and good prices are 

 being realized. Easter lilies are short 

 in supply. Plenty of outdoor flowers 

 are available and prices on good stock 

 rule low. No frosts have occurred as 

 yet. 



Various Notes. 



The monthly meeting of the local re- 

 tail florists* organization was held in 

 its rooms in the Moore building, Octo- 

 ber 7, and was addressed by William 

 Girvin, of Leola, Pa., on "Carnations 

 from Wholesalers." 



J. C. Bauder reports a heavy booking 

 of October weddings and parties. Fu- 

 neral work at this store requires the 

 full force of help to fill orders. 



William Kern, of Hyde Park, has com- 

 pleted the planting of several large or- 

 ders of hardy stock, of which he makes 

 a specialty. 



Lee P. Arnold, Heck Bros., and 

 Lajrton Butts, all of Wyomissing, Pa., 

 report that business in September was 

 better than in the same month last year.
