The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Aphil 7, 1910. 



FANCY ROSES 



We/^e right in the middle of the largest and finest crop of Killarney of the season 

 — splMMid heads on any length of stem you say. Can supply the largest orders. $3.00 

 to $8.00 per 100 — grand values. Beauties and all other Roses in large supply. 



All vari^s-CARNATIONS-AII grades 



A really enormons supply. They oome, but they go, for we are known as Carnation headquarters; 

 we can furnish any quantity any day. Write for prices on lots of 1000 to 10,000 and up. 



ALL OTHER STOCK IN SEASON IN LARGE SUPPLY. 



Anything yon need in Bnpplies— see oar catalogue or write na.

Bold fairly well. Of everything else thei'e 

 has been an abundance and to spare. It is 

 probable that this market never has seen 

 a week in which there was a greater 

 waste of flowers. Beauties are in large 

 crop. Koses are overabundant. Carna- 

 tions never were cheaper than at this 

 date. Lilies are everywhere, callas en- 

 cumber the counters, bulbous stock is a 

 glut, and violets simply are unsalable. 

 The heat has affected the quality of 

 everything. Only a small ""^part of the 

 many Beauties can be classed as good. 

 The best bring fair prices, but the rest 

 fetch scarcely anything. Special long 

 roses never offered so good value as now. 

 There is apparently an endless supply, 

 Killarney and Eichmond being better 

 than the other varieties, but all selling

 ing to speculate on a quantity came 

 pretty near naming his own prices. 



Not many of the colored varieties of 

 carnations cau be called good; the heat 

 has faded them. A few of the best still 

 bring 3 cents, but it is of record that 5 

 cents per bunch was accepted on clean- 

 up sales last week, and some could not be 

 sold even at that ridiculous price. Be- 

 lated Easter lilies also have gone beg- 

 ging, and it is the general report that 

 callas are about the hardest stock to sell ; 

 nobody wants them in quantity at any 

 price. It is possible to sell most of the 

 colored tulips, of which not many are 

 received, but many whites have been 

 wasted. Last week marked the height 

 of the season for the southern bulb stock, 

 of which the receipts ran probably higher 

 than ever before in the history of this 

 market. Because of the heat, a large 

 part of the stock was utterly valueless 

 upon arrival. In consequence consignees 

 refused many shipments from unknown 

 or irresponsible consignors. At one time 

 last week the Adams Express Co. had 

 two two-horsk wagon-loads of southern 

 jonquils which were being carted about 

 in search of someone who would accept 

 them for sale for the express company's 

 account. The wholesale florists threw

The southern lilac arrived in the height 

 of the glut and shared in its bad effects. 

 Also, some of the lilac shows the same 

 effect of the heat as do the jonquils and 

 is arriving in unusable condition. 



April 1 found violets in the condition 

 , usually associated with a date two months 

 later. The good stores have stopped 

 handling them, using the long-stemmed 

 fancy sweet peas, which are so plentiful, 

 in place of violets. The result is that 

 no street salesmen would think of offer- 

 ing over $1 per thousand for violets, 

 wMle many go to waste. On the other 

 hand, there are so many fine sweet peas 

 that no advance in price has resulted 

 from the increased sale of these; it sim-
