The Wcckiy Florists^ Review* 



MAKCn 4, 1909. 



COLUMBUS. OHIO. 



The Market. 



Trade has been keeping up steadily 

 for the last two or three weeks. Funer- 

 al work has been heavy and has used 

 up a big lot of stock. There has also 

 been a good call for decorative stock 

 for weddings and receptions. Several 

 dances lately have used up a big lot 

 of violets, sweet peas and valley. The 

 hardware men's convention, at the South- 

 ern hotel last week, made a good de- 

 mand for carnations as souvenirs and 

 for palms for decorating their booths, 

 etc. 



Eoses are coming in and they give 

 promise of a good crop for Easter. Car- 

 nations are doing finely, and no doubt 

 there will be heavy crops from now on. 

 Violets, sweet peas and valley are fine 

 and find a ready sale. Bulb stock has 

 been moving nicely and there has been 

 no glut at any time. All indications 

 point to a nice lot of it for Easter. 

 Several of the growers report serious 

 trouble with the lily disease and some 

 have thrown out as much as half of their 

 stock, which is a bad showing. 



Various Notes. 



The dance given by the club February 

 24 was not the success it should have 

 been, but the date fell on Ash Wednes- 

 day, which helped to keep a good many 

 away. 



James McKellar, of the Fifth Avenue 

 Floral Co., has been down with appendi- 

 citis for the last ten days, but is getting 

 along nicely at present. 



William Graff is in Chicago for a few 

 days. J. M. 



BUFFALO. 



Lent has at once shown its effect on 

 business. Although not so noticeable as 

 in other years, trade has dropped off con- 

 siderably. Stock, as a result, is plentiful 

 and the usual bulb stock sales have ap- 

 peared. Funeral work, however, is very 

 heavy and the bulk of the white stock is 

 cleaned up every day. 



A trip to Conrad Forbach's found him 

 complaining of a misfortune last week. 

 On one of the cold nights, when firing 

 hard, the flues gave out in one of his 

 boilers, and being protected in no way 

 he lost the stock of two houses. Fortu- 

 nately, it happened to be his spring stock 

 and not Easter plants. However, the loss 

 was severe enough in addition to the 

 damage to his boiler. E. A. S. 



Paris, Tex. — The greenhouses of 

 Charles Cawley, truck farmer, with sev- 

 eral thousands of young plants, were de- 

 stroyed by fire February 14. There wag 

 no insurance.

THE BEST 



WHITE 



Best for quantity 



This variety is bound to supplant other whites, as it not only produces as many, or more 

 flowers, but every one of them comes with a perfect calyx, borne on a long stem, supporting 

 the bloom in perfect shape. This fact makes it greatly superior to other varieties as a 

 money malcer. \
