The Weekly Florists' Review. 



OCtOBEB 19, 1911. 



.- ^.*^^ ^, NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



Business of late has been quiet. Flow- 

 ers are none too plentifiU — that is, 

 flowers that are usable. Carnations are 

 still scarce; they retail at 60 cents and 

 75 Cents per dozen; roses retail at $1 

 and $1.50 per dozen; violets at $1 per 

 hundred blooms; snapdragons, short- 

 stemmed, at 50 cents and 60 cents per 

 dozen; lilies at $2 per dozen.^ There are 

 a few gladioli still seen. There ^re still 

 plenty of outdoor flowers, such as dah- 

 lias, zinnias, cosmos, etc. Mums retail 

 at $3 per dozen. Plants are in fairly 

 good demand. Bulbs are now being sold 

 in the stores, retailing generally at 35 

 cents per dozen for tulips, 10 cents per 

 dozen for crocus and 35 cents per dozen 

 for narcissi. 



I\ineral work has been light of late. 

 Last week was a week of sunshine and 

 warm weather, and this has opened 

 the flowers quickly. Steady fixing is 

 now the rule at most of the places.

WOODFORD, VT. 



In the town of Woodford at the pres- 

 ent time there are scores of people* 

 picking ferns. .<»f^t would be impofA 

 sible to estimate S^^ many thousajj^r 

 of dollars' worth olnRiese will be taken 

 from the town this |all. Picking be- 

 gan earlier this year than usual and 

 will be kept up until the falling snows 

 prevent. It is romantic work in a way, 

 for in many parts of the town there 

 are encampments of families, and par- 

 ties who declare that they never en- 

 joyed themselves so much in making 

 money.- 



Already several large shipments of 

 ferns have been made to New York 

 city, which will be kept in cold storage.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



A few light showers last we'ekHended 

 to freshen everything, with the possible 

 exception of business, and, although that 

 seems to be on the upward grade, th^re 

 is no particular excitement. Funeral 

 orders are iairly brisk and nearly all 

 lines of fancy stock sell well, but the 

 great bulk of ordinary flowers are still 

 too cheap and too plentiful and the 

 buying public consequently is quite 

 particular as to quality and price. A 

 few days of cold weather or a few 

 days of dark, cloudy skies would do 

 much toward cutting down stock and 

 stiffening prices. Outside mums are now 

 at their best and, although apparently 

 not in as great supply as last year, are 

 abundant enough for all 'purposes. As- 

 ters are over, but other sorts of hardy 

 stock, such as gladioli, dahlias, amaryl- 

 lis, coreopsis and gaillardias, are* used
