The Florists' Review 



October 31, 1912. 





THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



NOVEMBER NOVELTIES 



SILVER HANDLE BASKETS— One of the prettiest little gift novelties imaginable. They are 



exquisitely made, intended for filling with the daintiest of flowers. There are several sizes. 

 DELET DUTCH FIGURE VASES— The quaintest little figures ornament these vases. Figures 



so comical that they will cause much merriment. These are just what you want for favors. 

 TRANSPARENT CHIN A WARE VASES give a pleasing variety from the popular Imperial 



Chinaware. They are neat and artistic. A most striking style is the 

 BRIDAL VASC — Intended for holding the bride's bouquet on the wedding breakfast table. These 



bridal vases are ornamented with bridal couples — ever so many of them. 



Send for our Silent Salesman for everything in florists' supplies.

mehl flower shop. Inside, H. W. Jones 

 was arranging a dainty basket of pink 

 snapdragon and Baby pompons. 



W, J. Sherry has given careful study 

 to advertising. He believes in cuts, in 

 words that speak and in good-sized 

 type. 



E. H. Michel has the Kiverview Nur- 

 series in fine condition. 



William K. Harris, Mark P. Mills 

 and Edward A. Stroud spent a day at 

 Norwood recently. By the way, Mr. 

 Stroud expects to exhibit both in this 

 city and in Boston next week. Phil.

 at 1523 Columbia avenue, now is at

WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



There is little doing in the social 

 line requiring extensive decorations, 

 with the result that there is no way of 

 disposing of the output of the local 

 houses, to say nothing of the incoming 

 shipments from other cities. The pres- 

 ent political activity gives little time 

 for social functions. 



Saturday, October 26, there was a 

 good demand for large chrysanthemums, 

 due to the Carlisle-Georgetown football 

 gamp, l)ut this was insufficient to over- 

 come the dullness experienced during 

 the rest of the week. With the possi- 

 ble exception of the better grades, flow- 

 ers of all varieties can be had at almost 

 the purchaser's offer. There is plenty 

 of stock of all kinds, and, sad to say, 

 much of this went to the refuse pile. 



The weather has been far too warm 

 for violets and this condition is also 

 aff'ecting chrysanthemums. Eastern 

 roses are fine and valley is as good as 

 could be desired. Locally grown roses 

 are continuing to improve. Orchids 

 greatly exceed the demand and the same 

 may be said of gardenias. Potted plants 

 are beginning to be shown in many of 

 the stores for the Thanksgiving day 

 trade. Various Notes. 



Gude Bros. Co. has secured 85,000 

 square feet of land adjoining its projt- 

 erty at Bladensburg and Mt. Olivet

 of houses to be devoted to roses, espe- 

 cially American Beauties. The prop-
