The Florists^ Review 



Sai*TBMBBB 24, 1914 



Better Beautie 



We would be justified in saying there are no better Beauties 

 than Randall's— but the fact is Randall's Beauties are j^etting 

 better and better. The plants are making -splendid growth 

 and the flowers and stems get bigger and better every day. 

 We have a big supply and shall have it regularly— so we are 

 as glad to get your orders as you will b^ to get our Beauties.

fully developed that it coukl not be 

 used for shipping orders. It has taken a 

 great deal of sorting to pick out the 

 tight buds for shipping and the balance 

 of the stock necessarily has suffered in 

 value. It is worth while noting in this 

 connection tliat the city business is ex- 

 tremely light, with shipping trade the 

 l)rincipal reliance of many houses. The 

 result has been that the soft stock left 

 (m hand after the shipping orders have 

 been picked out was sold at e.xtremely 

 low prices. There are fewer white 

 roses than of any other color, but all 

 varieties have been plentiful. Mrs. 

 Kussell is being cut in largo quantity 

 and is extremely popular. 



The supply of Beauties has increased 

 .•ilong with the supply of roses. The 

 quality is fine, the size of bud having 

 increased rapidly of late. Those who 

 can use Beauties are doing a good busi- 

 ness with them, for prices continue low 

 for quantities. 



Chrysanthemums are much more 

 abundant than earlier in the season. 

 Moderate quantities of superfine flowers 

 are seen, but a good deal of the Golden 

 Glow is of only medium quality. The 

 Smith's Advance is not so good as the 

 yellow. The best grade of mums is 

 selling fairly well and a little cool 

 weather would mean a good market, it 

 is thought. 



Carnations continue to sell quite well. 

 The supply increases daily and the qual- 

 ity improves. It is good for the time 

 of year. There are not so many asters. 

 Locally the season is about over, but
