The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Fbbruabt 1, 1012. 



[continued from page 8] 



ANSWER: 



Wertheimer Brothers 



ARE RUSHED SHIPPING ORDERS TO 

 SATISFIED CUSTOMERS AND 



These Customers do the Advertising 



but others report that they are realiz- 

 ing quite a little less; no one, so far 

 as heard from, claims that the price 

 has advanced in the proportion that 

 the supply is reduced. There appears 

 to be a fair volume of business in 

 carnations, with enough stock so that 

 orders at seasonable prices can be 

 filled without much diflSculty, and 

 enough stock so that the buyer who 

 is willing to make the rounds can at 

 length find someone who will sell just 

 a little below the market. In spite of 

 its higher price, the best stock has the 

 call. 



The orchid market is stiffening, the 

 crop of TriansB having passed its 

 heaviest. Violets have not been so 

 abundant in the last week, and the 

 demand has been better. Valley is 

 abundant. There are nlenty of garde- 

 nias, eastern stock. Sweet peas are 

 coming in heavier than at this time 

 last year and are selling well. There 

 is an abundance of all kinds of bulb 

 stock, though now and then good yellow 

 tulips have been in demand exceeding 

 the supply. Jonquils are so much more 

 plentiful that the price is falling, in 

 spite of improved quality. Daffodils 

 have arrived. Easter lilies are not 

 generally in large supply, but two of 

 the wholesale houses have big re- 

 sources along this line, so that the 

 market never is without lilies. Callas 

 have cut little figure this season. 



The shortage of roses is increasing 

 the use of galax and other greens for 

 designs, but the supply of all green 

 goods is ample. 



The Spring Show. 



J. H. Burdett calls attention that the 

 Chicago spring flower show is close at 

 hand. Many promises of exhibits have 

 been received, he says. The show opens 

 March 12 in the Art Institute. Every 

 effort has been made to reach pros- 

 pective exhibitors with preliminary 

 premium lists and letters, but it is 

 impossible to reach everyone, and every 

 florist who is interested is urged to 

 write for literature to J. H. Burdett, 

 secretary, 1620 West One Hundred and 

 Fourth place, Chicago. 



The spring show is an experiment, 

 and one which every florist should de- 

 sire to be successful. The Horticul-

Mention rbe Review when you write 



tural Society appeals to the florists all 

 over the country, but particularly in 

 the neighborhood of Chicago, to help 

 make the exhibition one which will do 

 honor to horticulture and be worthy 

 of the Art Institute. 



Elmer D. Smith, Adrian, Mich., 



writes that he will try to send some 

 late chrysanthemums. Peter Fisher, 

 Ellis, Mass., promises an exhibit of 

 Benora. Jos. Heacock, Wyncote, Pa., 

 will send roses, orchids and kentias.
