The Florists^ Review 



JDNB 27, 1912. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Trade was quite gooil up to the last 

 few days, when demand commenced to 

 drop off, and business has now taken on 

 a summer appearance. Stock has been 

 quite plentitul in most lines, excepting 

 good roses, which are quite scarce, all 

 the better grades being shipped in at 

 present. The demand for Beauties has 

 fallen off considerably since the com- 

 mencements were mostly over. Carna- 

 tions are quite plentiful, but quality is 

 low and some growers are throwing out 

 their old stock. 



Sweet peas are plentiful; there is 

 some greenhouse stock coming in and 

 quite a few from the outdoor stock, 

 which has brought the price down con- 

 siderably. Harrisii lilies are more 

 plentiful and several growers are send- 

 ing in some good stock. Lily of the 

 valley has been much in demand lately, 

 but the decreasing number of weddings 

 brings a corresponding let-up in the call 

 for this flower. 



Bedding plants have certainly 

 stretched out the season here, as there 

 are still quite a number of calls, espe- 

 cially for red geraniums, and nearly 

 everyone is cleaned up nicely on that 

 line of stock. The florists are all get- 

 ting ready for the planting of new 

 stock in the houses. 



Various Notes. 



The Eeal Estate Board, which has 

 been doing great work iu beautifying 

 the city, has exhausted its funds for 

 that work, but reports that 150 vacant 

 lots have been planted with beautiful 

 flowers and they have also helped others 

 in the same line of work. The work 

 was started principally as an experi- 

 ment, but they are so well satisfied that 

 it is an assured fact next season will 

 see the same work done on a much 

 more elaborate scale. 



The Livingston Seed Co. reports a 

 prosperous season in all branches of the 

 business. 



Sherman Stephens says things are 

 quieting down out at Greenlawn, and 

 most of the planting is finished. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has 

 cleaned up a big spring business, which 

 went away beyond other years. 



The Art Floral Co. was incorporated 

 last week to the amount of $5,000, by 

 Thomas F. O'Neil, Samuel Graff, Ben 

 Harmon, Lunar Funston and H. A. 

 Goodwin. J. M.
