. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. 104 The Rorists'' Review OCTOBBB r». 1916. NEWARK, N. J. The Market. It still is a little early for much bet- ter business, but last week saw a little gain over that of the week previous. Late vacationists now are returning and business in general is becoming brisk, which of course will react favorably on the florists' trade. At the present time there would be nothing that would give business such an impetus as a couple of sharp frosts that would kill garden flowers. Many people would patronize the florists if they had no flowers of their own. There were a few more chrysanthe- mums on the market, but they still are far from plentiful. Asters and gladioli continue scarce and high. Gladioli are beginning to become less plentiful and soon will be off the market. Dahlias are somewhat more plentiful and the flowers are of better quality. Early carnations are coming into the market, but these are rather short-stemmed. A number of florists are using wild fall daisies to fill in for window and store displays. Growers are hurrying to get spiraeas and other plants grown in the field into the greenhouses before the frosts arrive. Various Notes. Charles Luthy had a good business during the early part of September, but there was a little lull last week. August C. Begerow has had consider- able funeral work during the last two weeks. H. B. McKnight, grower for Mr. Begerow, has returned from Asbury Park, where he spent his vacation. He now is busy getting stevias and other plants in from the field. An account of the death of David IMiillips, of Toronto, Canada, brother of William J. Phillips, will be found in this week's obituary column. William Weismantel had a good trade in baskets and combination fern dishes during the Jewish holidays last week. Small baskets filled with asparagus, ferns, asters and feverfew were quite attractive. Short-stemmed asters that otherwise would be hard to dispose of were used. R- B. M. COLUMBUS, O. Instr
