The Florists^ Review 



February 12, 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

The Market. 



Market conditions all through the 

 week were most satisfactory; prices 

 were up and stock was scarce in some 

 of the seasonable flowers. There is no 

 great supply of roses from the local 

 growers. The stock from out of town 

 has been good. American Beauties have 

 been a little scarce. There has been 

 an overflow of carnations; some are 

 weak in stem, but the majority are in 

 fine shape, with good, large blossoms. 

 Gardenias are arriving more plentifully, 

 but orchids do not sell as fast as they 

 might. Easter lilies are scarce, but 

 callas are more plentiful. Violets have 

 sold well. Paper Whites are not so 

 plentiful of late. Tulips are plentiful 

 in yellow, red and white, and sell well. 

 The first lilac came in toward the end 

 of the week. Mignonette is scarce. 

 There are plenty of sweet peas in about 

 all shades. There are plenty of Romans. 

 Little is seen of freesias. Valley is in 

 good demand and is plentiful. The 

 supply of green stock is not quite up 

 to the demand and is somewhat infe- 



rior. 



Various Notes, 



Miss Lillian Wheeler is now in the 

 employ of J. B. Keller Sons, at North 

 Clinton street. 



We are sorry to report that Charles 

 Gow, with H. E. Wilson, has been in- 

 disposed all week from the dislocation 

 of his knee-cap. He is steadily improv- 

 ing. 



Congratulations are in order for Mr. 

 and Mrs. J. Suhr. A baby boy was 

 born January 27. 



Mrs. H. E. Bates does not seem to be 

 making as rapid progress as could be 

 wished for. She has suffered two re- 

 lapses, but at the time of writing her 

 condition is improving slowly. 



About twenty florists from Buffalo 

 are expected to take part in the bowling 

 tournament at the Grand Central alleys
