The Florists' Review 



Fkbbdaby 6, 1914. 



Mrs. George Shawyer 



We are growing this splendid rose this season with most gratifying results. 

 As a free and vigorous grower and great producer it has no equal. It has 

 not shown the slightest symptoms of mildew with us. It sets buds freely 

 in the short days of winter and is now coming in with a fine midwinter 

 crop. It does equally well on grafts or own root. 



We intend planting Shawyer heavily this season, but still have a splendid 

 stock of fine young plants in 3-inch pots, ready for immediate delivery — 

 on own root. 



We also offer a splendid lot of Sunburst, Ward, Richmond and Killarney, 

 all own root stock. For prices and further particulars write

WASHINGTON. 



On account of the unseasonable warm 

 weather, the thermometer at times reg- 

 istering as high as 74 degrees, all flow- 

 ers became more plentiful during the 

 latter part of last week. While certain 

 lines, such as American Beauty, Mrs. 

 Aaron Ward, Taft and Kadiance roses, 

 are off crop and are commanding a high 

 price, there is no need for anyone to 

 pay unusually high prices for flowers, 

 because the Killarneys, white and pink, 

 are cut by the thousands, so that the 

 demand for roses during the latter part 

 of the week was well met. For the first 

 time in many weeks the retailers were 

 enabled to pick up roses for as low as 

 $4 per hundred and get good stock. The 

 supply of carnations has also increased 

 and these receded considerably from the 

 high prices which prevailed during the 

 earlier part of the week. Although just 

 making their appearance in the market, 

 jonquils are being offered at $4 and $5 

 per hundred. Some of the growers 

 claim they would rather buy jonquils 

 at this price than attempt to produce 

 them. Each year the promise is held 

 out by the foreign bulb dealers that 

 they have something new that will posi- 

 tively come in for the Christmas trade, 

 but this year, as usual, some of the 

 growers have lost the entire crop that 

 they had tried to force for the middle 

 of January, while others made but half 

 a crop. 



The warm weather has had a tendency 

 to flood the market with sweet peas and 

 violets, more especially the single vio- 

 lets, and huge trays of these could be 

 seen on the streets to be bought at the 

 buyer's price. 



The continued warm weather is caus- 

 ing the growers considerable alarm be- 

 cause of the tendency of azaleas to 

 bloom and cause a shortage for Easter. 

 All kinds of schemes are being tried to 

 prevent this condition. The demand for 

 flowers at present is not great enough 

 to take care of the many thousands that 

 will be thrown on the market unless a 

 change comes soon. C. L. L. 



Herrin, 111. — W. M. Eidgway is plan- 

 ning to build two additional green- 

 houses to take care of his increased 

 trade in greenhouse-grown vegetables.
