The Weekly Florists' Review. 



April 28, 1910. 



CX)LUMBUS, OHIO. 



The Market. 



Trade has been good in the cut flower 

 line for the last two weeks or so, with 

 «tock of some kinds scarce. 



Boses have been coming in rather 

 slowly and the demand has been heavy, 

 so that at no time has there been a sur- 

 plus. Maids, Brides and Killarney are 

 more in evidence than anything else. 

 What few of other varieties are coming 

 in cut but little figure. Carnations are 

 not plentiful, as the cool weather has cut 

 the supply down considerably and the 

 demand has been heavy; so they are 

 cleaned up daily. Sweet peas are coming 

 in heavily and they find ready sale, es- 

 pecially since the bulk of bulbous stock 

 is out of the way. There are still some 

 lilies in the market, both "Harrisit and 

 callas, but the demand for them is light. 



Pot plants have been selUng well, es- 

 pecially tamblers, ferns and hydrangeas. 

 There Tjias quite a demand for geraniums 

 and "bedding plants' during the warnf 

 weather we had a week or so ago and 

 some even planted out their bedding 

 plants, but found it necessary to take 

 them all up again. Saturday night, April 

 23, the mercury went down to 30 degrees 

 between 8 and 9 o'clock, and before 

 morning it went down to zG degrees, do- 

 ing considerable damage. Even lilacs are 

 all blackened. 



Various Notes. " 



The Florists' aub's dance, April 22, 

 proved to be an enjoyable affair and a 

 good crowd was present. 



Sherman Stephens reports trade a lit- 

 tle quiet out his way during this bluster- 

 ing weather. 



G. Drobisch says funeral work has 

 been quite heavy and at times it has been 

 hard to get enough stock to fill orders. 



Messrs. Halbrooks, Miller and Thomp- 

 son have incorporated under the name of 

 the Columbus Floral Co. They have two 

 houses, each 37x400 feet, all ready for 

 the glass and report things moving 

 nicely. 



The Livingston Seed Co. says the seed 

 trade dropped off suddenly when the cold 

 snap set in, but that the trade in cut 

 flowers is heavy. 



The board of agriculture is contem- 

 plating quite a few improvements in the 

 state fair grounds for the Centennial and 

 ■will put a man there shortly to look after 

 the work. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. reports a 

 heavy business in rooted cuttings of 

 mums and carnations and young rose 

 plants. J. M. 



Staatsburg, N. Y. — Three large green- 

 houses are being erected on the Dinsmore 

 estate.
