The Weekly Florists' Review* 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



Christmas Trade. 



Xmas trade seems to lmv(,' been very 

 satisfactory with everybody around here 

 and complaints are few. All the stores 

 report a fine business and most of them 

 <ould have disposed of more good stock, 

 if it could have been obtainc.l. Both pot 

 l)lant3 and cut flowers sold well. Begonia 

 Clorie de Lorraine sold quiikly, as did 

 \vhat cyclamen that were in good shape. 

 -Vzalcas and primulas also" sold well 



I'oinsettias sold well both cut and 



pans. 



I'alms, ferns and rubbers had the.. 



Xmas sale. In cut flowers fancy carna- 

 tions easily took the lead, and imm'ense 

 (|uantities were disposed of at unusua 

 prices even for Xmas. Roses sold very 

 well, but the high wholesale prices made 

 it impossible for th'e storenien to sell 

 tliem at as good profit as tliev did the 

 yood carnations. Violets went well in 

 >pite of the high prices. What few good 

 '•hrysanthemiuns that were left went 

 leadily. Holly and ground pine are han- 

 dled by the grocers and immense quanti- 

 ties are disposed of; the better class of 

 florist stores do not handle them much 

 except in large wreaths, etc., and in dec- 

 orations. 



There was not the usual complaining 

 about pickled stock, caused perhaps by 

 the extra good demand just previous to 

 Christmas. The growers also have 

 learned better how to take care of the 

 stock and that it pays to keep it in good 

 condition. 



There may not have been much increase 

 over last year, but all seem better satis- 



lied. The
