The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



February 1, 1906. 



QNONNATL 



The Market 



The past week has not been the best 

 in the world from the florists' point of 

 view. Things seemed to drag a good 

 deal and there was no life in the market. 

 The demand was slack for all kinds of 

 stock. There did not appear to be any 

 special reason why it should be so, but 

 every one was affected alike. The weather 

 had something to do with it, I believe, 

 as we have been having a spell of such 

 as seldom comes at this time of year. 

 It is now some colder than it was last 

 week, still, it is far from what one is 

 used to expect at this season of the year. 

 This weather is making itself felt in 

 the quality of stock; a good part of it 

 is now sort and weak stemmed and con- 

 sequently the price suffers. 



There is an increase in the quantity of 

 stock coming in. Carnations are coming 

 in much heavier supply. Roses, also, are 

 easily equal to the demand. Beauties are 

 not in such good demand at times and, 

 though there is not such a large supply 

 of them, there is enough for all purposes. 

 Short ones are going best. Violets are 

 not doing so very well. Single ones are 

 going for the best price. Bulbous stock 

 of all kinds is now to be had. Dutch 

 hyacinths made their first appearance 

 this week and sold very well. Harrisii 

 lilies have been moving slowly. Narcissi 

 were in heavy supply and sold fairly 

 well. Tulips moved nicely. Green goods 

 are in good supply with but a moderate 

 call. 



Various Notes. 



A week from Saturday our annual 

 rose show will be held, and from pres- 

 ent indications it will be a very good 

 one. We are especially anxious that 

 growers who have anything new send 

 exhibits at this time. There will be 

 many growers present. 



Dick Witterstaetter was the only rep- 

 resentative from this city at the carna- 

 tion show and it is with considerable 

 regret that we learn his stock did 

 not arrive in shape to stage. Dick cer- 

 tainly suffered a great disappointment 

 in this. He has not returned as yet and 

 we have not heard the story from him, 

 but thirty-six hours is too long to ship 

 blooms for any purpose and it would 

 have been a lucky thing for him if they 

 had arrived in good shape. 



George & Allan have had some trouble 

 with their heating plant and had it not 

 been for the mUd weather the conse- 

 quences might have been very bad; as 

 it was, no serious damage was done.
