ThcWeekly Florists* Review. 



December 28, 1911. 



BO mauy people remember the departed 

 ones by bringing cut flowers, holly and 

 other wreaths. 



Walter M. Maas & Co. secured two 

 extra stores for their Christmas trade, 

 which they filled up with blooming 

 and other plants. There wasn't a thing 

 left after the rush and, with a good de- 

 mand for cut flowers, they feel more 

 than satisfied. 



The M. A. McKenney Co. was so busy 

 Christmas noon that it was not advis- 

 able to ask many questions; both plant 

 and cut flower trade were fine. 



The Currie Bros. Co. had a fine selec- 

 tion of stock at their greenhouses for 

 the event, but when called upon they 

 said that business was enormous and 

 that they were sold out. 



Made-up tubs of crotons, dracsenas 

 and ferns played an important role at 

 J. M. Fox & Son's store. This is not 

 saying that was all they offered, for 

 every possible nook was utilized in try- 

 ing to place the large quantities of 

 well grown blooming and foliage plants. 

 The cut flower trade with them also was 

 brisk. 



The force of the Edlefsen-Leidiger 

 Co. looked rather tired Christmas morn- 

 ing, and when questioned as to the vol- 

 ume of business done, claimed it was 

 the best yet. Their large supply of 

 stock cleaned out in great shape. 



Gust. Eusch & Co. said that business 

 was fine and away ahead of expecta- 

 tions. Their store was jammed full in 

 the morning, but night found them 

 cleaned up in great shape. 



"Better than ever," was the report 

 of the Holton & Hunkel Co., who moved 

 large quantities of finely grown pot 

 plants at their Humboldt avenue place, 

 and roses, especially Pink Killarney, 

 from the Brown Deer place. Their sup- 

 ply of American Beauties was far from 

 satisfactory, but they were much 

 pleased with the way violets moved. 



"Very, very fine; could not have been 

 better," were the comments heard at 

 the salesrooms of the C. C. Pollworth 

 Co. December 25. The carnations and 

 roses were right in crop at their green- 

 houses and the quality was fine. Their 

 large lot of plants had dwindled down 

 to a small number by Sunday night. 



"In the cut flower line, Pink Killar- 

 ney was more in demand than most 

 other stock for the Christmas trade," 

 so says the East Side Floral Co. Plants 

 were also an important factor with 

 them. E. O. 



GLADIOLI A SECOND YEAS. 



Can I force Peach Blossom, Bride and 

 Bridesmaid gladiolus bulbs two years in 

 succession? F. E. W. 



These gladioli will make up bulbs 

 considerably larger than those imported 

 from Europe, but even when gradually 

 rested and every care taken of them 

 they have failed to flower satisfactorily. 

 Probably if you cut your flowers short- 

 stemmed and did not sacrifice the 

 foliage, they might do well a second 

 season. As it is, however, about every- 

 one wants flowers on long stems and we 

 cannot give them these without in large 

 measure ruining the bulbs. This applies 

 also to the large-flowered types of 

 gladioli, as well as to freesias and some 

 other bulbs. C. W.
