The Weekly Florists' Revie w» 



March 14, 1007. 



CINaNNATL 



The Market. 



Business was good during the last 

 week and made up in great part for 

 wliat slowness there was the week pre- 

 vious. Prices stiffened and the demand 

 had some snap. While there was a plen- 

 tiful supply of all kinds of flowers, still, 

 after the morning's rush was over, 

 there was little left. There was a 

 scarcity of American Beauties; in fact, 

 this flower has been scarce on this mar- 

 ket all season. Red roses and white car- 

 nations are not equal to the demand. 



VariouB Note*. 



We are beginning to notice the usual 

 comments on the green carnation for St. 

 Patrick's day. That there are thou- 

 sands of carnations so doctored for this 

 day could be well realized if you could 

 see tlie number of orders for the dye 

 that are being filled by the various firms 

 selling this stutf. The advance orders 

 for white carnations for that time call 

 for more than there will be any chance 

 of getting. While there is a demand 

 for them, there will be green carnations, 

 and all that can be said will have little 

 effect upon those who are meeting this 

 demand. There is nothing that can ,be 

 said in favor of this practice and a 

 whole lot against it. 



A meeting of the Florists' Society was 

 held Saturday evening and while the at- 

 tendance was light, those present made 

 up in enthusiasm. The subject of 

 flower shows was again talked over and 

 it was decided that the society could not 

 afford to have no show at all. As it had 

 been found to be impracticable to hold 

 a large mum show, as was at first talked 

 of, it was decided that we will have a 

 show next fall and it will be made just 

 as big as we can afford. A committee 

 was appointed to report at the next meet- 

 ing, with full plans laid so that sched- 

 ules can then be issued and distributed. 

 Within a couple of weeks I hope to be 

 able to give in these columns a full re- 

 port of our plans for next season. 



John E. Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa., 

 sent three carnations to be exhibited 

 at this meeting, but owing to some delay 

 they were not received till Sunday morn- 

 ing. Nevertheless they were in good 

 condition. They were Pink Imperial, on 

 the order of Lawson; John E. Haines, 

 a beautiful scarlet color, introduced last 

 year, and Imperial, a pink variegated.

Come or mall your order direct to the head- 

 quarters. Our reputation over the entire country

 and they were never so fine as this year, 1907. 



While laborers, merchants, jobbers, contract- 

 ors, builders, etc., have increased their prices al- 

 most double as usual, we have not advanced our 

 prices; but look, we sell our plants at the same 

 old prices charged two or three years ago when 

 the cost of producing plants was much cheaper. 



What was my daty on my trip to Ghent, 



Belginm (the land of azaleas, aranoariaa 



and palms), last fall, 1906? Answer: Of 



course, the interests of my customers, not 

 speaking of the IIQO souvenir cards which I 

 mailed to my customers in America. For the 

 benefit of my customers I also nought Azalea 

 Indlca for Easter trade, the cream of Belgium's 

 production that money could buy.
