The Florists^ Review 



NOTHHBBB 4, 1915. 



FOBT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business last week was better than 

 that of any previous week since the be- 

 ginning of the autumn season. The 

 social activities, weddings and funerals 

 have resulted in so many orders that 

 business for October was better than 

 that of October of 1913 and 1914. The 

 market is considered better than that 

 of last spring. 



Stock of all kinds is in fine condition. 

 Chrysanthemums are taking the lead 

 for all social functions and for funeral 

 sprays. Wells' Late Pink, Chrysolora, 

 Major Bonnaffon, Eobinson and October 

 Trost are the best varieties. Among 

 the roses Shawyer is showing up un- 

 usually well and is a great favorite. 

 Russell is a good seller, and Radiance, 

 Sunburst and Milady have shown great 

 improvement during the last two weeks. 

 Carnations are not so plentiful, but 

 their quality is steadily improving. 

 There are fine valley and cattleyas to 

 be had. American Beauties are plenti- 

 ful. 



Various Notes. 



A. J. Lanternier & Sons are cutting 

 fine yellow mums. Their chrysanthe- 

 mum plants are good sellers. This con- 

 cern 's special sale on Whitmani and 

 Boston ferns last week was unusually 

 successful. 



The Bradley Flower Shop reports a 

 good sale on bulbs. Mrs. Bradley fur- 

 nished about fifty corsages for the ban- 

 quet of the Retail Merchants' Asso- 

 ciation last week. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey had an order 

 for several hundred chrysanthemums 

 for a football game at Ann Arbor, 

 Mich. They also furnished 5,000 roses 

 and carnations for the opening day of 

 a new school. The Vesey greenhouses 

 arp cutting large quantities of Shawyer 

 artd Russell roses; also valley and splen- 

 did Cattleya labiata. 



Larry Holland, of the M. Rice Co., 

 Philadelphia, was a visitor last week. 



The chrysanthemums at the Flick 

 Floral Co. greenhouses are making a 

 finie showing. Chrysolora, Wells' Late 

 Pink and Robinson are the best vari- 

 eties. Aaron Shive, superintendent of 

 the greenhouses, reports a fine cut of 

 ShSfWyer .«ttd Sunburst roses. Lady 

 Hiltingdoii, Ward and the Killarneys 

 are Bhxjwing up well. The carnation 

 stottt Ui'lh an excellent condition. Dec- 

 orations for thirty tables, consisting 

 of '-Chinese bowls filled with Shawyer 

 and Russell roses, and unique nosegays 

 for 120 guests recently were executed 

 by Miss Flick. Miss Flick leaves No- 

 vember 6 to attend the . Toledo and 

 Cleveland flower shows. R. F.
