The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



NOYBMBEB 22, 1906. 



ROSES 



are improving every day and we are now 

 getting in a fine lot of Kaiserins, Brides^ 

 Bridesmaids and Chatenays. The Rich- 

 mond are a little short in stem, but the 

 flowers are fine. 



CARNATIONS 



are good, and Violets are the finest coming 

 into this market.

of making winter less forbidding by 

 lavish use of evergreens and hardy plants 

 until now a first-class hotel is not first- 

 class without a wealth of these summer 

 memories. 



Thomas Wade, formerly with Wadley 

 & Smythe, Las charge now of the retail 

 florists' department of Bloomingdale 

 Bros. 



William Starke has placed his new 

 boiler in his conservatory on West 

 Twenty-ninth street and is ready for the 

 winter's rigors and well stocked for the 

 Thnnksgiving plant demand. 



A. J. Guttrnan ic back from Chicago 

 with glowing accounts of the great ex- 

 hibition. 



John Seligman & Co. declare Twenty- 

 sixth street to be in it with any other 

 wholesale street in New York and that 

 the early moriiing crowds at the market 

 demonstrate it. Their big store certainly 

 is in a convenient ppot to see things. 



Frank Millang is convalescing rapidly 

 and his broken ankle will be mended in 

 time for the busy Thanksgiving season. 



Thos. Young's wholesale windows are 

 filled with handsome kentias and other 

 palms. 



Walter Sheridan's Beauties were much 

 in evidence on Saturday, the specials 

 bringing record prices for the day. But 

 here the quality of stock is proverbial at 

 all times, and not alone in roses. 



Those lovers of healthful and legiti- 

 mate sport, the Gunther Bros., are pre- 

 dicting a half million violet demand 

 from New' Haven for the great football 

 game Thanksgiving day, and they evi- 

 dently intend to have their share of the 

 pie as usual. 



Bonnot Bros, report an unusual ship- 



ping demand for loses, and their base of 

 supply seems inexhaustible. 



B. S. Slinn, Jr., is handling superb 

 violets and finds no difficulty in securing 

 top prices. 



Ford Bros, have had a busy week, 

 emptying the mammoth ice-box daily and 

 disposing of severe colds, the result of 

 overwork in unloading the goods. The 

 flood of pink and white Ivory here has 

 not diminished. Of these alone enough 

 flow in to keep an ordinary force hus- 

 tling. 



The mum combination of Fenrich on 

 West Twenty-eighth street, and Totty, at 

 Madison, means a daily display of the 

 big novelties, while they last, that are 

 well worth watching. 



Hicks & Crawbuck are adding daily 

 to their Jersey growers and the amount 

 of stock handled in their big store at 76 

 Court street, Brooklyn is now enormous. 



H. E. Froment is receiving great 

 quantities of Beauties from his growers, 

 the products of some of the largest 

 Beauty houses in the country. His large 

 store is fitted this season with every con- 

 venience and he has added to his force 

 of helpers some familiar faces. Mr. 

 Froment is optimistic as to the coming 

 season's business. So, in fact, are all 

 the New York wholesalers, young and 

 old, new and veteran, for there is room 

 for all in every department of the trade 

 and there is no center with the possibili- 

 ties and opportunities for honest and 

 aggressive accomplishment to compare 

 with this in all the world.

The Market. 



The Review is the florists' best paper. 

 -L. J. Brosemer, Oswego, N. Y. 



Everything is plentiful and cheap i» 

 this market except carnations and vio- 

 lets. The New York growers have been 

 shoving up the price on the latter com- 

 modity at the rate of 25 cents every few 

 days, and even at that they coul^ not 

 supply additional quantities. As for 

 carnations, the quality is none too good,, 

 but the price keeps advancing all the 

 same. There are some good Paper 

 Whites in the market and good stevia 

 has been coming in from Herman Hart's 

 for the last two weeks. 



The Ohio Floral Co. has been cutting 

 some dandy chrysanthemums the last 

 fortnight. They report last week's trade- 

 a record-breaker and the banner week 

 since they have been in business. Man- 

 ager Knoble was hustling around Mon- 

 day trying to locate a thousand fancy 

 Enchantress for a special order. 



Merkel's Flower Shop has gone out of 

 business, the stock and flxtures being^ 

 disposed of at private sale. 



H. B. Jones was at Norwalk, O., last 

 Monday assisting Florist Barton, who 

 had more funeral work than he could 

 turn out working day and night. 



Charles Eussell, of the Gasser force, 

 went to Mansfield Tuesday to superin- 

 tend the decorations of a church for a 

 military wedding. 



Bate Bros, are cutting a fine lot of 

 stock these days. 



The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. reports 

 business this fall considerably ahead of" 

 a year ago and a big season seems as- 

 sured.
