The Weekly Florists' Review*

The Market 



Business is good and prices are rather 

 high for summer. This is due to the 

 scarcity of flowers and to the demand, 

 which takes up everything in sight. There 

 is a great deal of funeral work about, 

 and it is well distributed among the va- 

 rious stores. It is rather unusual to 

 have such a heavy demand at this time 

 of the year and to see everything cleared 

 out with such a rush. Of course the 

 scarcity of all kinds of flowers has a 

 great deal to do with it, but the demand 

 so far exceeds the supply that we could 

 all be doing a fine business were there 

 enough flowers to go around. 



Carnations are about out of the mar- 

 ket, but roses are still coming in good 

 quantity and the quality is not so bad, 

 either. Asters are coming stronger, but 

 it will be several weeks before they will 

 be in full supply. Sweet peas are 

 about done for. Some good Easter lilies 

 are seen now and then. Gladioli find a 

 ready sale. Feverfew, candytuft and 

 other such small flowers find a ready 

 market. 



Various Notes. 



It would seem that little interest is 

 being taken in the S. A. F. convention 

 by the trade about this city. The dele- 

 gation from here will be a small one. At 

 present there is not a single person who 

 we are sure will go. All seem bent on 

 taking a good rest this year and they 

 are going to various northern resorts to 

 get it. As a consequence, they will not 

 be willing to spare the time to take in 

 the convention as well. 



All plans have now been perfected 

 for the annual outing, with every pros- 

 pect of its being a great success this 

 year. Mr. Eusconi is working night and 

 day to have everything in the best of 

 working order. He has appointed Henry 

 Schwarz to help him out on some of the 

 work and Mr. Schwarz is also putting 

 in some hard licks. All that is neces- 

 sary now is a good day, and at this time 

 of the year we can count on getting 

 that. Everyone says that he is going to 

 be there, and so it would appear that 

 there would be the largest crowd on 

 hand that we have had at a picnic for 

 many years. 



J. T. Conger is busily engaged in put- 

 ting his plant, located at Hartwell, O,, 

 in the best of shape. He has recently 

 purchased the ground formerly leased 

 and has added two adjacent plots, which 

 make quite an addition to his acreage. 



Quite a number of the local craft are 

 away on vacations now. Alex Osten- 

 darp, of J. M. McCullough's Sons, has 

 been away for several days. 



Geo. Thromey, who is with Fred Gear, 

 will leave shortly for a visit at Chicago 

 and a trip about the lakes. 



Nick Weber and family will soon be 

 on their way for an extended trip about 

 the lakes, ending at Milwaukee.

Record broken by Godfrey Aschmann, of Philadelphiat the 

 well-known Araucaria Specialist of Am e ri ca* 



Watch Us Grow 



1907 is oar 12tta anniversary In a Baccessful career in the Importa- 

 tioD, KrowiDK and shlpplDK of that well-known and well-admired 

 evergreen decoratiTe plant, 



Araucaria Excelsa, Compacta Robusta and Glauca. 



BeKlDDinr with the first year, 1895, with an Importation of 100, this Spring, 1907. our importation 

 has swollen to the enormous quantity of 6000 of the 8 best known ABAUCARXAS, Excelsa, 

 Uompacta Robusta and Glaaca. Our Araucarias are so well introduced that they represent every 

 city, county and state of America, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and as far as Cuba and Mexico. 

 It is always my earnest desire to improve my system in buying, raisinK, sellinR and shipping our 

 production to such an extent that it not only benefits us but so that it will yield a fair profit into the 

 pockets of the buyers. 



Now is the time to fill your empty houses and make money fast, as the plants will grow into 

 money while you sleep.
