THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



THE TALK OF THE LAND 



Florists all over the country are talking of the latest novelty in supplies, our Flexible Colored 

 Cycas Leaves. 



They give a much needed opportunity for novel efifect through their flexibility ; you can bend, 

 almost knot them, and their range of color (purple, lavender, pink, yellow, red, green) is an advantage. 



Lots of florists have already ordered these Cycas. We want all our friends to try them. 



May we have j'our order today for some of each color? We recommend them to you. 



Send for Our Silent Salesman, who can tell you about everything: in Florists' Supplies 

 We close at noon Saturdays during: June, July and Aus:ust 



H. BAYERSDORFER & CO.. '"'..r^.is;:tk. ... 



Mention The Review when you write 



five carloads of specimen bay trees in 

 the last few weeks and that he will have 

 to buy more to fill orders. Ed. Ilaus- 

 wirth says they were obliged to close 

 early Memorial day for want of stock. 



Stollery Bros, say that window box 

 planting has been exceptionally heavy 

 and they are well pleased with the sea- 

 son 's business thus far. 



P. L. McKee, of the J. C. Moninger 

 Co., spent Memorial daj' at the Indian- 

 apolis motor speedway watching the 

 international championship races. He 

 says it was well worth the trip, although 

 somewhat tiring to sit from 8 o'clock 

 in the morning till 6:30 at night. 



The craft in Chicago contributes four 

 entries in the obituary column in this 

 week's issue. 



John Sinner says that Sinner Bros, 

 have about finished replanting roses. 

 They had excellent success with their 

 young stock this year, practically every 

 cutting making a fine plant. 



Phil Schupp, of J. A. Budlong's, is 

 becoming more and more attached to 

 his Maryland and Mrs. Taft roses and 

 asserts that as warm weather flowers 

 they are the real thing. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Memorial day was a great disappoint- 

 ment to the wholesale cut flower mar- 

 ket, the demand being even lighter than 

 the most dyed-in-the-wool pessimist an- 

 ticipated. The market was top-heavy 

 with lilies, lilac and peonies, while of 

 roses the supply was unlimited. In the 

 city itself the day has no special sig- 

 nificance, the extra call being entirely 

 from the cemetery florists and from out 

 of town. Shipments did not come up to 

 expectations, and apart from some big 

 consignments to Boston, of the carna- 

 tion flood, there was nothing worthy of 

 special mention. The plant trade, how- 

 ever, was enormous. At the midnight 

 market at Fifty-ninth street a big crowd 

 of buyers, largely peddlers, 200 of them, 

 snapped up everything in sight at high 

 prices, geraniums selling up to $1.75, 

 and even $2 per dozen. Before daylight 

 not a plant of any kind remained. The 

 plant market has grown rapidly during 

 the last month, but it is largely con- 

 trolled by the peddling merchants and 

 few florists are ever seen there. The

number of growers has been greatly 

 added to since the opening and -the per- 

 manency of the enterprise seems assured. 

 Since Memorial day a better tone is 

 evident in the cut flower market. Prices 

 have not advanced, but there was a good 

 clean-up Saturday, Jane 1, and ship- 

 ments from now on are expected to de- 

 crease in volume, while the June wed- 

 dings, commencements and the system of 

 flower distribution inaugurated June 3 

 by the Wanamaker stores will doubtless 

 spread to the other large mercantile 

 establishments, and perhaps put an end 

 to the wholesale sacrificing that has of 

 late become such a menace to values in 

 the New York market.
