The Rorists' Review 



OcTOBsa 27, 1921 



New Coleus Harding 



HARDING COLEUS is the most beautiful 

 and brilliant color ever introduced to the 

 trade. Bright red leaves, with brown, green 

 and yellow edging; medium large leaves. 

 Grows very rapidly and is very easily rooted. 



HARDING COLEUS makes fine pot plants 

 for winter, as it holds its color wonderfully 

 during the winter months. 



HARDING COLEUS, for outside bedding 



HARDING COLEUS is a seedling found 

 by us, grown and tested before introducing it, 

 which has proved to be as described above. 



HARDING COLEUS was shown at the 

 Washington, D. C, S. A. F. Convention, where 

 an Award of High Merit was recommended 

 by the judges, A. L. Miller, J. A. Peterson and 

 Joseph Kohout.

Tlie Market. 



Local conditions are gradually im- 

 proving, and, with cooler weather com- 

 ing, things should soon be back to nor- 

 mal. All of the retailers did a fine busi- 

 ness last week, which, though not rush- 

 ing, brought the receipts above those 

 of 1920 for most of the florists. Work 

 has been irregular this month, but still 

 divided evenly. 



The growers are beginning to com- 

 plain about prices going down, but the 

 retailers are satisfied. Fairly good 

 Chrvsolora, Golden Glow and Chieftain 

 are "coming in at $1.50 to $2 per dozen. 

 The retailer who buys is satisfied if he 

 can move these at $3 to $4 per dozen. 

 Warm weather is bringing along the 

 early varieties of mums in a rush and 

 there will be some bargains in another 

 week. Some of the department stores 

 ran a special sale on long-stemmed roses 

 Saturday, October 22, reducing them to 

 five cents each. Everyone is cutting 

 wonderful stock now. Premier is the 

 main crop, Columbia second and Ophelia 

 third, although not so good in color. 

 Good stock may be had at $12 to $14 per 

 hundred. Short stock is a little scarce 

 at $4 to $.") per hundred. Carnations are 

 scarce, but the quality is good. Never 

 before have carnations been so good and 

 it looks like a good crop for the holiday 

 season. Only a few of the growers are 

 cutting any' Ward so far this season. 

 Wholesaler's are asking $4 to $5 per 

 hundred, while retailers are asking $1 to 

 $1.50 per dozen. There is a good crop 

 of violets. The short-stemmed violets 

 are moving nicely at $1 per hundred. 

 Several growers are bringing in sweet 

 peas at $2 per hundred. Sweet peas al- 

 ways find a ready market. Some snap- 

 dragons are coming in and, although 

 short, work up well in funeral work. 



A few cattleyas are cut each day and
