The Florists^ Review 



Febbdaby 6, 1918. 



shipments of dumped stock arrived that 

 were in a poor condition. Both Easter 

 lilies and callas are proving good prop- 

 erty. Valley also finds a fair market. 

 The demand for violets and orchids is 

 not strong. Sweet peas clean up as fast 

 as they come. Bulbous stock is a glut. 

 There are many more tulips arriving 

 than the market under present condi- 

 tions can possibly utilize. The jonquils 

 and daffodils offered are of a high qual- 

 ity. The first Dutch hyacinths of the 

 year came in last week. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell was the first whole- 

 saler to offer Dutch hyacinths this sea- 

 son. 



A number of E. G. Gillett's neighbors, 

 aided and abetted by his family, sur- 

 prised him Saturday evening, FeBVuary 

 1, on the eve of his birthday anniver- 

 sary. It was a well-planned affair and 

 a complete surprise to Mr. Gillett, who 

 just a few minutes before had stated, 

 in an emphatic way, that he was going 

 to retire at 10 o'clock at the latest. 



Wm. Gardener, while in the city last 

 week, said everything at P. J. Olinger's 

 greenhouses at New Castle, Ind., is in 

 fine condition. 



J. T. Conger, of Hartwell, has been 

 busy of late with funeral work. 



Peter Weiland cut his first sweet peas 

 of the season last week. They were up 

 to the high standard of last year. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 has been getting in fine carnations from 

 Bloomhurst. 



J. J. Lodder's Sons, of Hamilton, are 

 shipping excellent single violets to C. E. 

 Critchell. 



Miss Julia Vogt and Henry Nuporte, 

 of the J. M. McCullough's Sons Co., were 

 married January 29. 



Becent visitors: Julius Dilloff, of 

 Schloss Bros.; Miss Patton, of Toledo, 

 who stopped in the city while on her 

 way to French Lick for a rest; Lester 

 F. Benson, Indianapolis, who was here 

 to arrange for flowers and supplies for 

 his store. C. H. H, 



NEW YOEK. 



The Market. 



The usual market report had not come 

 to hand when press hour arrived this 

 week. — Ed. 



Various Notes. 



Those of the local trade who are ad- 

 dicted to such things have been almost 

 too busy attending the banquets of local 

 horticultural societies to give attention 

 to business. 



W. B. DuEie, of Eahway, N. J., who 

 suffered a paralytic stroke August 26, 

 is improving and is able to walk again. 



E. W. Newbrand, of the F. E. Pier- 

 son Co., Tarrytown, has recovered from 

 a three weeks' experience with the 



grip. 



P. J. Fay, one of the old-time gar- 

 deners, now traveling for Peter Hen- 

 derson & Co., was a visitor last week 

 at Morristown and Oyster Bay. 



Tom B. Collie represented Burnett 

 Bros, at the Madison banquet last week. 



There is a quartette of Bunyards now 

 at Forty-eighth street and Madison 

 avenue, the stork having left the third 

 boy at A. T. Bunyard's. 



George Hart, one of the force of 

 Badgley, Eiedel & Meyer, is ill in Belle- 

 view hospital. 



P. J. Smith is changing his office 

 and making extensive improvements in
