The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Mabch ^0, 1910. 



dl 



Oar new Spring crops of Beauties are now on and they are the best in this market.. 

 We can supply them in very large quantities. Remember the extra long stems are 

 always the best quality. Klllarney, Rlchmonds, Maids, Brides and 

 Peries are also in with a big crop. Prices are falling every day. We bill out at 

 the lowest market prices each day.

proved somewhat, but is expected to be 

 better after Easter; the Beauty is not a 

 Lenten or Easter flower. Good quality 

 is now in evidence in roses. Killarney 

 is, of course, the leading item, but there 

 are plenty of good Bride and finely 

 colored Maid, while moderate quantities 

 of My Maryland and Mrs. Jardine sell 

 well. Production is steadily increasing 

 and prices are at a point where, com- 

 pared to quality, every buyer should be 

 satisfied. 



The receipts of carnations have been so 

 heavy that after the regular trade had 

 been supplied there was almost no bot- 

 tom for the surplus. At times white was 

 scarce enough to command pretty fair 

 prices, and the best Enchantress have 

 been selling well, all things considered, 

 but the regular demand has taken only a 

 fraction of the receipts. To get rid of 

 the surplus has been something of a 

 problem, but there are those among the 

 growers and wholesalers who say that 

 there soon will be a change in the mar- 

 ket, predicting that the cut shortly will 

 fall off. Some growers say this will oc- 

 cur before Easter. Inquiry is being made 

 for white, for dyeing for St. Patrick's 

 day, with the prospect for a good market 

 for good white March 14 and 15. 



Sweet peas are one of the wholesalers' 

 most serious problems. There is an ex- 

 cellent sale for the strictly fancy peas, 

 but there are so many of these grades that 

 the disposition of the ordinary and com- 

 mon run is about as difficult as anything 

 the salesmen have undertaken thus far 

 this season ; it is difficult to put the price 

 low enough on this grade to tempt the 

 buyers. Naturally, there is no little dis- 

 appointment among the shippers of the 

 low grade peas. 



Violets have been in extremely large 

 supply the last" few days. The Khinebeck 

 growers are shipping heavily and there is 

 an enormous crop of singles. While a few 

 hundreds of the highest grade stock make 

 pretty fair prices, considering the fate 

 of the balance, $2 to $4 per thousand 

 ia the best that can be realized for the 

 surplus when any quantity is moved, and 

 there are plenty of violets that stand 

 around until their condition precludes any 

 sale at all. 



The spring days brought a rush of 

 bulbous stock, especially tulips and daflfo-

dils, with the result that prices, already 

 low, fell off a third to a half, though 

 some little recovery has been made since 

 the weather turned cooler. Quantities of 

 Dutch hyacinths are coming in, but 

 realize prices which hardly can be 

 profitable to the growers. A few Missis- 

 sippi narcissi have arrived and advices 

 from the Virginia growers are that ship- 

 ments will begin the latter part of this 

 week. So long as these continue it means 

 cheap prices for all stock handled by the 

 sidewalk salesmen and department stores, 

 where the surplus finds its outlet in times 

 like these. • 



Callas and Easter lilies are abundant. 

 Valley is plentiful. Orchids are equal to 

 the demand. 



The only department in which there is 

 a really active call is green goods. As-
