The Florists^ Review

Prompt Shipments— Properly jfacked 1 



That's the slogan of Randall service— and it covers two points of im- = 



portance to the merchant florist. There are other good features to E 



Randall service— we'd Mke to demonstrate them. In this week's Cut E 



Flower oiferings Beauties of rare quahty are the leaders — followed by E 



an abundant showing of white and yellow Mums (some of the fancy E 



colors, too). Pompons, choice Roses (including Sweet Marie), Carnations, E 



Valley and Violets. Try Randall service on your next order. ' =

Good carnations are much more plen- 

 tiful than they were last week, but they 

 are not more than sufficient to fill 

 orders. Stems are a good length and 

 color is satisfactory. A few hundred 

 outdoor asters got into the market the 

 first of this week and caused no little 

 comment, but this is unquestionably the 

 last measure of their swan song. Daisies 

 are scarce enough to be picked up at 

 once, and sweet peas are becoming a 

 noticeable factor. There is a small 

 quantity of cut cyclamen and mig- 

 nonette on the market, but as yet no 

 great demand for these flowers has 

 been manifested. Pansies also have 

 made their appearance. Violets, both 

 double and single, are becoming more 

 plentiful and already the street venders 

 have them. 



Easter lilies and rubrums continue to 

 be good property. The supply of valley 

 is again balancing demand. 



Chrysanthemums are plentiful and 

 the range of choice is sufficiently large 

 to permit satisfying the most varied 

 tastes. Quality is much better than 

 heretofore, as the mid-season sorts are 

 in. Pompons are abundant in every 

 color and meet with a ready sale. 



Greens continue to move, but not hur- 

 riedly. 



A Gladiolus Deal. 



A deal of more than usual interest 

 was consummated last week, when C. S. 

 Clausen and A. B. Bonvallet acquired 

 the entire stock of Gladiolus Myrtle 

 and also the remaining stock of Gladi- 

 olus Mrs. Frank Pendleton, Jr., in the 

 hands of A. E. Kunderd, Goshen, Ind. 

 The variety Myrtle has been on this 

 market as a cut flower for two or three 

 years, but has not been disseminated. 

 Pendleton is in the hands of several 

 growers, in limited quantities. A num- 

 ber of offers have been made Mr. Kun- 

 derd for Myrtle, but none he would ac- 

 cept until the present. No statement is 

 forthcoming as to the number of bulbs 

 secured, or the price, but it is known 

 that eight barrels of bulbs were at once 

 shipped the purchasers at Wichert, HI., 

 and arrived there with a declared valua- 

 tion of $2,500, much to the excitement 



Boxwood 



Quality is of great consequence in Boxwood 

 as well as flowers. 



KENNICOTT'S Quality Cut of Boxwood is 

 possibly even better known in the Trade 

 than their far-famed flowers. 



Now is the time to place Boxwood orders.
