The Florists' Review 



June 12, 1913. 



ARE YOU INTERESTED? 



If you are interested in serving your patrons with high grade stock you will not overlook the fact 

 that we are able to assert that we have the best Killarneys on this market. That is a lot to say, but we 

 say it again merely to call your attention to the fact that you can get the best rosea to be had by 

 sending your order to us. We have a full crop on and they are the same ones that took first prize at the 

 Chicago Flower Show last spring. Just as high quality and the longest buds you can find. Why not 

 have the best? 



NOT ONLY ON ROSES 

 but on all seasonable flowers we can give you the same high grade stock. Satisfied customers mean just 

 as much to you as to us and we both profit by it. Send us your order for Carnations, Sweet Peas, Gladi- 

 oli, Ferns and all Greens now.

diffieult to obtain at .l ceuts each May 

 28 were diflficult to clean up at 5 cents 

 per bunch June 4, one week later, if a 

 (lay old. The needs of the regular buy- 

 ers made slight impression on the enor- 

 mous receipts last week and probably 

 seventy-five per cent of all the carna- 

 tions that came in have had to be 

 moved through the special outlets avail- 

 able at such times. 



Roses did rather better than carna- 

 tions last week, although it was bad 

 enough. The quality of the roses also 

 is better than the average quality of 

 carnations. The only special demand 

 was for the yellow varieties; everything 

 else was overabundant, though only a 

 few growers are cutting Richmond in 

 quantity. Beauties are abundant. There 

 is considerable variation in the quality 

 here. 



Peonies were among the few flowers 

 that sold fairly well last week, and 

 they still are doing nicely. Day by 

 day the injury done by the frost May 

 10 becomes more apparent. The sup- 

 ply is nothing like so large as in other 

 years. Such of the stock as comes in 

 is, as a rule, extremely good or ex- 

 tremely i)oor. The good peonies brought 

 fair money, even in last week's glut, 

 though the poor peonies scarcely could 

 be sold at all. No important quantities 

 of peonies have yet gone into storage. 



Sweet peas are excellent for the sea- 

 son and are in extremely large sup- 

 ply, principally the Spencer varieties. 

 They are selling well, but at low aver- 

 age prices, it being impossible for some 

 of the largest handlers to clean up ex- 

 cept at forced sale. Easter lilies also 

 are in large supply. Gladioli are be- 

 ginning to come in more heavily. Cat- 

 tleyas are abundant, but gigas brings 

 fair prices. Last week there was little 

 special call for valley, but this week 

 considerable extra demand is noted. 



As usual at this season, there is spe- 

 cial call for asparagus strings and smi- 

 lax, neither of which is plentiful. A 

 few new ferns have arrived and the 

 shortage in this department is expected 

 to be relieved shortly.

was killed instantly .Tune .1, when he 

 accidentally touched a live electric 

 wire. The exact way in which the 

 engineer met his death was a puzzle 

 to those who were with him at the 



time. He was working with a number 

 of others in a field near Plant B, where 

 the soil mixing machine was in opera- 

 tion. In order to furnish power to the 

 electric motors that operate the mixer,
