The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



October 27, 1910. 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



The weather seems to be the first 

 thing to comment on these days, be- 

 cause it has had a great deal to do with 

 trade in general. Better weather than 

 we have had in the last two weeks 

 could not have been asked for, it being 

 most of the time more like summer 

 than anything else. We have in the 

 last two days had our first frosts of the 

 season, but they were slight and did 

 little damage. Consequently outdoor 

 stock has to a great extent killed busi- 

 ness for the stock grown under glass, 

 and at the same time these bright, 

 warm days have brought stock of all 

 kinds into good crop. 



Chrysanthemums are now in their 

 glory, and are arriving in immense 

 quantities. This, however, is not re- 

 gretted by the Dayton florists, for the 

 date of All Saints' day has been 

 changed to a week earlier in this city. 

 Many bouquet orders are being booked 

 for this date. White chrysanthemums 

 are especially plentiful, and these, of 

 course, are the variety in demand at 

 this time. It might be said that trade 

 during the last two weeks has been 

 seemingly controlled by funeral work, 

 for which the demand is exceedingly 

 variable. Eoses of all kinds are quite 

 plentiful, with the exception of pink, 

 on which crops are a little short. Car- 

 nations are fine and the cuts are in- 

 creasing daily, while the demand also 

 keeps up well. Giganteums are scarce 

 just now, and callas are just commenc- 

 ing to come in. 



Various Notes.

T^ZKLEK INDICK 



Mention The Review when you write. 



Owing to the cold and wet weather this 

 •summer in Belgium and the large demand 

 for azaleas all over the world this year. 

 Azalea Indica is very scarce and high in 

 price, but in spite of all these facts I 

 want every florist to know that I have 

 just arrived from Europe with a large 

 cargo of Azalea Indica, the finest stock in 

 Ghent. My grower on the other side has 

 done justice to me this year, again reserv- 

 ing for me the cream of his 200-acre 

 azalea field, giving me my own pick. 

 itfWhen a cigar maker smokes a cigar, 

 what will he smoke? The worst he has? 

 I should say not. He'll smoke the best he 

 has, the one with the finest aroma, giving 

 his customers evidence of the quality of 

 his goods. So do I. What I force for my 

 own use is certainly good enough for my 

 customers. 



Now is the time to force Azalea Indica 

 for Christmas. What varieties will you 

 force? Surely the ones, the early varie- 



ties, that I know I can get in in time for 

 Xmas. There is Deutsche Perle, one of 

 the best early double whites. We have 

 plants full of buds, at 60c, 75c, $1.00, 

 $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00 each. Simon Mardner, 

 you know this variety well. It is an early 

 deep double pink variety, 60c, 75c, $1.25, 

 $1.50 to $2.00 each. Vervaeneana, one of 

 the old standard, well-favored, large, 

 double, variegated varieties, 75c, $1.00, 

 $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00. How about Apollo? 

 This is a deep, single red variety, always 

 full of buds, 60c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50. 

 Didn't you ever hear of that earliest of 

 all varieties, Mme. Petrick? This Is a 

 variety hard to beat, pink, double flowers, 

 full of buds and never fails to bloom. A 

 child can bring this variety into bloom for 

 Christmas. It is very scarce and high in 

 priee this fall in Belgium. You must have 

 a few of them anyhow, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 

 to $2.00 each. 



EHSTER VARIETIES 



For Easter forcing we have only the 

 well known standard American varieties, 

 such as Mme. Van der Cruyssen, pink 

 (very scarce this fall in Belgium), 75c, 

 $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00 each. Niobe, 

 double white. We have a large stock of 

 this, but mostly in large sizes, $1.00, 

 $1.50, $1.75 to $2.00; some, but a limited 

 quantity, at 60c to 75c. Deutsche Perle, 

 60c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00. Helene 

 Theleman, light pink, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to 

 $2.00. President Oswald de Kerchove 

 $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50. Schryveriana and 

 Empress of India, large, double, varie- 



All plants 25 at 100 rate. Cash witta'order, 

 purchaser, only. 



gated, 75c, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00. Pro- 

 fesseur Welters, $1.00 to $1.50. Simon 

 Mardner, 60c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50. 

 Vervaeneana and Apollo. 60c, 75c, $1.00, 

 $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00; dozen or 100 at same 

 prices. 



Remember! small azaleas are scarce this 

 year in Belgium, therefore I had to buy 

 mostly large sizes. 



Dracaena Bruantl, 22 to 25 inches, 35c, 

 40c to 50c. 



Latania Borbonica, 25 to 30 Inches high, 

 40c to 50c.
