The Weekly Florists' Revie#; 



23 



WHENEVER 



you are in the market for Cut Flowers* it will be 

 well for you to think of Hunt* We do not wish to 

 tell you where to buy, but we want to let you know 

 that we have just as fine a line of stock as comes to 

 this market. Everything in season. Last 

 week we wrote about Valentine's day* February 

 14, and we are really surprised the way you got to 

 work and sent in your orders for that day. We are 

 especially pleased and to those who have not ordered, 

 we advise doing so at once. There will be a good 

 supply of everything. 



Have you seen Wasiiington's Little 



tflatcliets? Every one will want them. We have 

 them. You had better get a good supply. ,

WERTHEIMER BROTHERS 



NEW YORK 



Geo. H. Angermueller handled a nice 

 lot of cut orchids last week and says 

 he expects to have regular shipments 

 from now on. His consignments of tu- 

 lips and Von Sions were large last week, 

 with a good demand. 



The largest wedding of the season, 

 the AUen-Catlin wedding, made a busy 

 week for the local florists. The firms 

 who had the bulk of the work were: 

 C Young & Sons Co., furnishing the 

 house decorations; Miss M. S. Newman, 

 supplying the bridal bouquets, and the 

 Ellison Floral Co., which had the decora- 

 tions for the reception at the Country 

 Club. Nearly all the florists had some- 

 thing to do for this big event.

 NEW YOEK. 



The Market. 



The week opened with a cold wave. 

 The blizzard came before noon, Febru- 

 ary 6, and winter seems to have arrived. 

 Business continues barely steady and 

 prices do not advance. The shipments 

 are not excessive, but the market can- 

 not absorb all of them, violets espe- 

 cially hanging fire and many thousands 

 going to the street men. The colder 

 weather should bring about a general 

 improvement. A few large balls and 

 weddings are being consummated this 

 week and next. The Gould-Decies af- 

 fair made quite an inroad into the 

 daisy, white lilac, and white rose sup- 

 ply. The holidays in celebration of 

 Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays 

 are close at hand, and Valentine's day, 

 it is hoped, will clean up the violet 



supply. The next two weeks should be 

 the best of the year to date and all the 

 days up to Lent are filled with dinners 

 and receptions. 



The rose stock now arriving is first- 

 class. The demand is most urgent for 

 the lower grades, especially of Bride 

 and Maid. There have been fewer 

 Beauties of the top quality than were 

 needed and prices have advanced slight- 

 ly. The outlook for abundant ship- 

 ments is now improving. Killamey 

 maintains its reputation as a cropper. 

 Last week 4 cents was called high for 

 most of the carnations; in fact, at 

 times 3 cents was the top for anything 

 but the novelties. The tendency is up- 

 ward. Orchids are in wide demand and 

 the supply is lighter. The best now are 

 firm at 50 cents each. Gardenias, when 

 perfect, realize $5 to $6 a dozen. Plenty 

 of short-stemmed stock arrives, for 

 which little is asked. Bulbous stpck of 

 every kind is too abundant. Prices are 

 barely steady at the reduction. Lilies 

 hold at $10 and valley at $3 per hun- 

 dred. These are top prices. 



Smilax is a drug and much of it is 

 unsalable. Wild smilax is selling well. 

 Large quantities of laurel roping and 

 asparagus strings have been sold for 

 the big decorations. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club will hold its 

 monthly meeting next Monday evening, 

 February 13. In addition to his stere- 

 opticon lecture, Mr. Vincent will have 

 some interesting news about Baltimore 

 and the convention of the S. A. F. next 

 August. President Nugent says the 

 gavel will fall at exactly 8 o'clock.
