The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Mat 16, 1007. 



The Market 



The weather still is anything but 

 spring-like. May 10 we had quite a snow- 

 fall, followed by a heavy frost* 



Business seems to come in spurts, prob- 

 ably Ijecauso the most of it is for fu- 

 nerals. To say that the market remains 

 well cleaned up is hardly putting it 

 strong enough. Saturday and Sunday 

 rtowers were so scarce that one of the 

 commission houses borrowed one dozen 

 sweet peas from a retailer. Roses sell 

 at from 3 cents to 8 cents and are of 

 fine quality. Carnations are of an ex- 

 ceptionally good quality, and although 

 the cut seems to be heavy, they are in 

 such demand that one seldom sees any 

 at the loc'il commission houses one hour 

 after the arrival of a shipment. Sweet 

 peas are also of good quality and sell 

 readily at from 50 cents to 75 cents per 

 hundred. Violets are on their last legs. 

 Bulbous stock still holds on, but is noth- 

 ing extra. Smilax is a little more plen- 

 tiful. Southern ferns are about the best 

 on the market at present. 



Various Notes. 



The ice peddlers' strike was of short 

 duration. The dealers agreed to give all 

 the men a raise of $1 a week. This 

 means $16 during the winter and $18.50 

 during the summer months. 



Gus. H. Taepke has purchased the 

 piece of land occupied by him for so 

 many years on Elmwood avenue, also the 

 strip along Hunt street. It is understood 

 that the old houses are to give way to 

 new, modem houses this summer. 



Beard Bros, are cutting some of the 

 finest carnations in this vicinity. 



The Lohrman Seed Co. has gone quite 

 extensively into the tree spraying busi- 

 ness. This firm has three or four wagons 

 rigged up with a spraying apparatus, the 

 pressure being derived from the regular 

 soda fountain air-pressure tanks. H. S. 



Sterunq, III. — The Sterling Floral 

 Co. has planted a bed of pansies 7x120 

 feet along the east side of its new car- 

 nation house. 



Peterboro, Ont. — .lordan Bros, re- 

 cently made a shipment of 275 carna- 

 tion plants to a florist at Adelaide, South 

 Australia. They will be six weeks on the 

 way.
