The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



May 16, 1907. 



COLUMBUS, OHIO. 



ThcMjtfkct. 



The cold weather continues, with the 

 result of maintaining the same good, 

 steady trade that we have had for the 

 last two months. While there has not 

 been any rush, even with the seedsmen, 

 still the long spring business will result 

 at the end in very favorable totals for 

 all. What is now very much helping our 

 florists is the fact that the unseasonable 

 cold weather has so fax kept the best 

 trade from leaving the city for the sum- 

 mer; for the moment the settled heat 

 comes, "society" begins to go, and the 

 beginning of the "summer dullness" 

 sets in. 



All stock is in good supply except car- 

 nations, which are still hard to obtain in 

 sufficient quantity to amply supply all 

 the demands. Roses are especially fine 

 this week, some long-stemmed Chatenay 

 and Eichmond being particularly in de- 

 mand. Some fine lots of white and ex- 

 tra early Blanche Ferry sweet peas have 

 been the feature of the week, and at the 

 popular price of 25 cents a bunch have 

 found ready sale. The wonderfully long 

 season that the landscape and nursery- 

 men are having insures a very large busi- 

 ness in these lines. 



Various Notes. 



At the last meeting of the Florists ' 

 Club, May 14, the club's prizes of $5, $3 

 and $2 were awarded to the winners in 

 the "point system" contest, for plants 

 and flowers that have been exhibited at 

 our meetings during the past winter sea- 

 son. 



Madison Miesse, of Lancaster, was re- 

 cently in town, and announces that he 

 has secured the services of Fred Wind- 

 miller, who for several seasons had 

 charge of the greenhouse plant of the 

 Livingston Seed Co. Recently Mr. Wind- 

 miller has been with the Cleveland Cut 

 Flower Co. 



The closing of Green Lawn cemetery to 

 Sunday burials, which plan went into 

 effect last Sunday, has resulted in mak- 

 ing our florists busier on Friday, as 

 many more funerals are now being held 

 on Saturdays, especially late in the aft- 

 ernoon. 



The Livingston Seed Co, is holding its 

 annual sale of magnolia trees. These are 

 a special feature with this firm, which 

 disposes of them in all the best varieties 

 in large quantities. 



The official seal of Ohio, made from 

 thirty varieties of seeds, all of which 

 were grown in the Buckeye state, has 

 been installed as a part of the state's 

 display at the Jamestown Exposition. So 

 perfect in workmanship is it that it ap- 

 pears to be painted. 



William Graff, of Graff Bros., has re- 

 turned from a ten days* trip to Chicago, 

 and his firm is reaping some of the re- 

 sults of his visit, in an American Beauty 

 rose sale. Graff Bros, make a specialty 

 of these popular sales, working off lajge 

 quantities of stock. 



John Williams has adopted a unique 

 and popular idea in the selling of his 

 tomato plants. He transplants dozens 

 and twenty-five plants into 3-inch and 

 7 -inch bulb pans, and they sell readily. 



M. B. Faxon has been invited to ad- 

 dress the teachers and scholars of the 

 public schools on the children's garden- 

 ing problem. Zero.
