The Florists^ Review 



Jdly 4, 1912. 



SOCHESTEB. 



The Market. 



Hot, summer weather has come at 

 last, and, though business during the 

 last week has been good, the effect of 

 real summer weather has been felt in 

 various ways. Roses would fly wide 

 open; carnations would turn brown; 

 gardenias would turn yellow and bruise. 

 Besides, graduations are over with, as 

 well as the June weddings; so a falling 

 off in trade is felt. Stock is abundant; 

 in fact, there is a slump in flowers of 

 all kinds. Sweet peas have been finer 

 than ever since the warm weather has 

 come, but they are so abundant that 

 they must go down in price soon. There 

 is an oversupply of gardenias and they 

 are selling at a low figure. Eoses of all 

 kinds are good. Valley is fine for this 

 time of the year. Spanish and Eng- 

 lish irises have ccme and they are prime 

 favorites for all sorts of occasions. 

 Garden flowers are still selling well, 

 campanulas, coreopsis, gaillardias, phlox 

 and gladioli being the leaders. In 

 potted plants, begonias and gloxinias 

 are about the only ones used. 



• Various Notes. 



Eoses at the parks are now at their 

 best, especially at Highland and Maple- 

 wood. Paul Neyron is the variety most 

 admired this year and it has seldom 

 been seen to better advantage. The 

 peonies are gone, only a blossom here 

 and there remaining. It is interesting 

 to note the opinions of visitors from 

 other cities in regard to the peony dis- 

 play at Highland park. As a result of 

 the visit here, June 21, of some of the 

 judges at the annual exhibit of the 

 American Peony Society at Ithaca, the 

 suggestion h^s been made that the park 

 board exhibit a few of the choice va- 

 rieties at next June's exhibition in 

 Cleveland. Though the board never has 

 made such a display, there is no ap- 

 parent reason why it should not do so. 

 The judges, who were greatly impressed 

 with the variety, extent and beauty of 

 the peony display, were B. H. Farr, of 

 Beading, Pa.; E. T. Brown, Queens, 

 N. Y.; Dr. Knapp, of Evansville, Ind., 

 and C. C. Cowan, of Ottawa, Can. 



Charles H. Vick recently visited Syra- 

 cuse, N. Y. He reports that the plans 

 for the floral department of the state 

 fair were pretty well matured.
