The Weekly Florists' Review* 



NOVBMBEB 9, 1911. 



ROSES for the SHIPPING TRADE 



Our stock includes all grades, extra long fancy, also short, but our effort has been to provide a 

 large supply of medium long grade, the kind the out-of-town buyers require in quantity. We 



can handle a big business. 



Klllarney, White Klllarney, Maryland, Richmond, 

 Bride, Bridesmaid, Beautlies and the Novelties 



We also have a large supply of fancy CarnatioiiB, all sizes and colors of Chrysanthemums, a fine 

 lot of Lilies, single and double Violets— good shipping grade throughout.

The Market. 



All Saints' day, November 1, goes on 

 record as one of the best, as far as the 

 selling out of all cut flowers on hand is 

 concerned; yet the amount of money 

 realized by many of the wholesalers and 

 retailers did not come up to that of 

 some previous years. Chrysanthemums 

 were not only scarce, but left much to 

 wish for in quality, in comparison with 

 last year's crop. The local wholesale 

 growers raised the prices to some ex- 

 tent, and to make up for the deficiency 

 of the home-grown stock, Chicago alone 

 shipped a carload of flowers, including 

 mums, roses, carnations, valley, etc., 

 and cut greens, such as Asparagus plu- 

 mosus and fancy ferns. 



The weather up to a few days before 

 All Saints ' day was threatening and the 

 bulk of the orders came to many of the 

 florists at the last day, which naturally 

 caused a great rush in filling them. All 

 the florists engaged extra help to work 

 for a day and a night. 



The day was surely an ideal one for 

 the great multitude of people of all 

 classes who carried flowers to the last 

 resting places of their departed loved 

 ones. All the cemeteries were thronged 

 from early morning until sundown. 



Various Notes. 



Following are the comments of some 

 of the florists on the All Saints' day 

 business : 



Abele Bros. — Our large stock of home- 

 grown mums sold out to fill orders; 

 mostly in bunches. 



A. Alost. — Sold out completely at 

 fair prices. 



Peter Ch«pin. — Best, day since I 

 started in business; nothing left. 



Louis Buckner.— «]very flower on 

 hand went in a rush. 



J. W. Bierherst. — Did a large busi- 

 ness, with both home-grown and north- 

 ern flowers. 



M. Cook's Sons. — Our home-grown 

 stock and a big Chicago shipment sold 

 out by noon. 



Mrs. Francis Qruaz. — Sold out'com- 

 pletely; best day in years. 



J. F. Dubois. — That immense stock 

 I had grown sold out at fair prices.

Mention The Review -when yon write. 



Charles Eble. — A record breaker hard 

 to beat; big demand for high grade 

 flowers of all kinds. 



C. W. Eichling.— All of the force 

 rushed to fill orders for best grade of 

 flowers, mostly loose or in bunches. 



Peter Kaul.— I had about 10,000 Rob- 

 inson mums and they are all sold. 



Mrs. Carrie Eehm. — Doubled my busi- 

 ness of last year, mostly in the demand 

 for choice flowers. 



Henry Eehf eld. — Had to refuse orders 

 by the hundreds, as my stock was ex- 

 hausted by noon. 



Metairie Ridge Nurseries. — Our own 

 immense^- stock of mtitais, besides the 

 largest shipment ever received for this 

 day, sold out; heavy demand for expen- 

 sive flowers. 



Justine St. Mard.-*The biggest rush 

 in years. 



J. A. Newsham. — I haven't a flower 

 left of my own big stpck; never saw 

 such a rush; I even sold all my orchids,

 flowers from Chicago. 



U. J. Virgin. — Had an immense stock 

 of all kinds of choice flowers on hand 

 and sold out completely. 



H. Ziegler.— That fine lot of Robin^o^

The Frank Floral Co., which has an ' 

 attractive new store, located at 303 

 Bourbon street in the business center 

 of the city, had a formal opening on 

 All Saints' day. The place was hand- 

 somely decorated and a large and fine 

 stock of all kinds of fresh flowers and 

 artificial and metal designs was on 

 hand. Frank J. Reyes and Peter Ack- 

 ermann, two young, enterprising and 

 up-to-the-minute florists and decorators, 

 are the owners and they expressed them- 

 selves as well satisfied with the new 

 business and its location.

If the weather did turn cold the first 

 part of last week, it was clear and 

 bright, and stock began to show the 

 effect of the sunshine, but toward the 

 end of the week- it grew darker and 

 the supply of roses and carnations 

 shortened. Chrysanthemums, however,
