The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Jandabt 11, 1912. 



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, Geo. Paul 



and other kinds. Write for trade list.

creased greatly. The prices for the bet- 

 ter named varieties are rather high, and 

 for seedlings rather low, so growers are 

 looking after gladioli with names.

PROVIDENCE. 



Tlie Market. 



The first week of the new year did 

 not round out so large a volume of busi- 

 ness as had been anticipated, but as a 

 whole was fairly satisfactory. Funeral 

 work was the chief factor, but a few 

 email social functions assisted. The 

 week opened with a rush on account of 

 the inauguration of the officers in five 

 of the cities of the state, followed the 

 next day with the state inauguration. 

 The supplying of baskets, bouquets and 

 other pieces, however, was so generally 

 distributed that everybody got a fair 

 share. 



The supply of all kinds of cut flowers 

 is now equal to the demand and the 

 appearance of daffodils, hyacinths and 

 other bulb stock has eased the market 

 on carnations and roses and afforded a 

 larger variety. Prices hold about nor-
