The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



OCTOBEB 7, 1909. 



FERNERIES and JARDINIERES 



Everybody is opening house now and the demand for something green will be lively. Are you prepared? Ferneries in all the latest 

 styles and shapes, willow and twig, with pans. We can give you everything, from the largest to the smallest, from a standard style to 

 the latest novelty; if you want something we have not, we will make it to order. JARDINIERES are the good broad things that apply 

 to everything from our toneware vases to vase-like baskets with glass receptacles for flowers. We have everything in jardinieres, and 

 if by any chance you dream of what we have not, we will make it for you with pleasure, in no time at all. When ordering do not 

 forget our long stemmed AMERICAN BEAUTY VASES, so effective in decorations. 



We beg to call your attention to our superb stock of natural prepared foliage, including 



Beech Sprays, Magnolia Sprays, Fern Fronds 



used by many florists where plants will not live. We have an immense stock of finished CYCAS LEAVES. Our superb WHEAT 

 SHEAVES. Everything in florists' Supplies. Send for our illustrated catalogue.

NEW CASTLE, IND. 



Weiland & dinger, in common with the 

 other cut flower growers at this center, 

 are now making all their shipments in 

 the corrugated pasteboard boxes. New 

 Castle cut flowers now go to St. Louis, 

 Pittsburg, Chicago and Cincinnati in 

 these boxes. Weiland & dinger ship 

 their stock to the store in Cincinnati in 

 the corrugated paper boxes made by the 

 Thompson & Norris Co., a Brooklyn, 

 N. Y., concern, which has one of its fac- 

 tories at Brookville, Ind. It is found 

 that with the use of these corrugated 

 paper boxes the saving in express on 

 each shipment is as great as the cost of 

 the box. Then, at the wholesale store 

 the boxes are knocked down and tied in 

 bundles to go back cheaply by freight, 

 80 that each box makes many trips. 

 Since the growers here have begun using 

 these light boxes they have saved many 

 hundreds of dollars on express charges. 



NEW YORK. 



TktMukgL 



The great Hudson-Fulton celebration 

 is over, so far as New York itself is 

 concerned, after a distracting week of 

 enormous crowds and neglected business. 

 Apart from a steady demand for Beau- 

 ties and smilax for the dinner decora- 

 tions, and the constant call for evergreen 

 roping from the supply men, who had 

 to work night and day to meet the re- 

 quirements, there was no special benefit 

 noticeable in the general cut flower 

 trade. The auctions, too, were deserted, 

 and everybody seemed to be on pleasure 

 bent. Weather conditions were perfect 

 for everything but the flying machines, 

 and nothing to equal the displays, elec- 

 trical and evergieen, has ever been seen

in this country, while the miles of 

 American and foreign warships were an 

 inspiration that thrilled millions of in- 

 terested sight-seers and visitors day and 

 night and will never be effaced from the 

 memories of this generation. The flo- 

 rists on Broadway and Fifth avenue, in 

 the line of the big processions and 

 parades, took special pains to decorate 

 tlieir windows artistically and profusely. 

 In some were floral airships and Clare- 

 mont and Half-moon vessels, dressed in 

 orchids, mums and tritomas. The vis- 

 itors seemed to appreciate these as 

 warmly as they did the electrical display. 

 Saturday, October 2, the market 

 showed unusual life, and the long de- 

 pression seems to be over. Prices are 

 better; stock was lighter in quantity 

 and better in quality, and the general 

 demand is steadily increasing. The out- 

 door stock is less and must soon, with the 

 first severe frost, pass out of considera- 

 tion. Gladioli, asters and dahlias have 

 had their day. Of the latter, some 

 grand single varieties remain, but there 

 is little demand now that the chrysanthe- 

 mums have begun their bid for recogni- 

 tion. These are coming fast, and some 



grand stock of the early varieties last 

 week were snapped up on arrival at 

 fancy prices. The early birds are catdi- 

 ing the worms. 



Eoses are doing better, selected sto ik 

 having gone up a notch higher in the 

 quotations, if Saturday's prices hoi J. 

 The arrivals of Killarneys are enormov^; 

 everybody seems to be growing them tl is 

 season. Carnations, too, grow daily n 

 stem and size of flower, and the best f 

 them are back to paying figures. T e 

 grower may now begin to sit up ai:(l 

 take notice, after a discouraging peri i 

 of patient waiting for the tide to tui '■ 

 Violets are coming early and fast, a.^l 

 30 cents to 40 cents was the prevaili" ? 

 figure the last of the week. The quali y 

 is not yet satisfactory. There are plen y 

 of orchids now. The prices are firm a/ 1 

 the shipping demand is satisfactory.
