The Weekly Rorists' Review. 



DaciUBBB 28, 1911. 



GLADIOLI 





Try GOLDEN QUEEN and PRESIDENT TAFT for forcing. 



One customer writes under date of May 25th: — 



"The Golden Queen that I ordered from you were planted in a carnation 

 house on February 7th, and we are now getting fine spikes and handsome flowers. 

 I find your variety to be one week earlier than Mrs. Francis King, ten days earlier 

 than Augusta and two weeks ahead of America. They have been perfectly satisfac- 

 tory in every way." 



I have also a £ine stock of Mrs. King^, Klondyke, Taconic, Independence, Brenchleyensis, Qeo, Paul 



and other kinds. Write for trade list.

The Market. 



The Christmas rush of 1911 is a thing 

 of the past and it undoubtedly was a 

 grand one. The raising of prices on 

 cut flowers for this holiday, during re- 

 cent years, has stimulated the plant 

 trade to a noticeable extent; it was 

 poinsettias, azaleas, begonias, cycla- 

 men, primulas and foliage plants, wher- 

 ever one looked and a visit around on 

 Christmas morning found all stock 

 cleaned up. 



Although the demand for cut flowers 

 was great, the supply in every branch, 

 with the exception of American Beau- 

 ties, was likewise, and it is a pleasure 

 to state that there was no pickled stock 

 to speak of. Stock was held back some- 

 what, but more judgment was used, 

 thus giving satisfaction to both whole- 

 saler and retailer. 



Killarney played a leading role in 

 the rose class, while the favorite car- 

 nation held its own. Violets also were 

 in good demand and cleaned up well. 

 Although the supply was plentiful 

 Christmas morning, there was no stock 

 left at closing time. With the whole- 

 salers the rush began Thursday and 

 wound up Monday noon with local 

 trade. The retailers began deliveries 

 Saturday, and were kept busy all day 

 Sunday and the best part of Monday. 

 With mild weather prevailing during 

 this siege, the matter of delivering was 

 not a serious proposition. 



Christmas green goods were plentiful 

 and sold well.
