The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



DECEMBER 29, 1S98. 



WASHINGTON. 



The general verdict sems to be that 

 this was the best Xmas we ever had. 

 A week of steady rain caused a great 

 scarcity in cut flowers, which created 

 a large demand for iilants of the $1 to 

 $5 size. 



In the store of Gude Bros, could be 

 seen hundreds of specimen plants of 

 cyclamen in full bloom in from 6 to 14- 

 inch pans, which found an immediate 

 sale. Cut roses brought $12.50 to $20; 

 carnations. $4 to $6; violets fairly 

 plentiful at $2 to $4. 



The American Rose Company had a 

 very fine electric display in Center 

 Market, which attracted much atten- 

 tion. Their stand was well filled with 

 excellent stock. 



There were a great many mums on 

 the market, most of them being Bon- 

 naffons, but they did not go at all. 



J. L. Loose has moved into his new 

 store on Connecticut avenue and re- 

 ports a heavy holiday business.

SYRACUSE, N. Y. 



The tenth annual meeting of the 

 Central New York Horticultural So- 

 ciety was held December 21. 



The address of President S. T. Betts 

 was a very able document and cov- 

 ered fully the work of the society for 

 the past year and its prospects for the 

 future. 



The treasurer's report showed re- 

 ceipts during the year of $913.30 and 

 disbursements of $908.85. 



The officers elected for the ensuing 

 year are: President, S. T. Betts; vice- 

 presidents, A. C. Chase, A. C. Fobes, 

 A. D. Perry, M. E. DriscoU, E. A. 

 Powell and C. W. Snow; secretary, N. 

 H. Chapman; treasurer, D. Campbell; 

 executive committee, L. E. Marquise, 

 C. A. Phillips, G. Ham. P. Kay, F. H. 

 Ebeling and J. T. Roberts. 



It was decided to hold subsequent 

 annual meetings in January instead of 

 December. 



LOUISVILLE, KY. 



Christmas trade was generally bet- 

 ter than last year. S. J. Thompson re- 

 ports cut flower and plant sales on the 

 increase. F. Haupt found cut flower 

 trade excellent, exceeding last year 

 ■with a corresponding increase in the 

 call for plants. 



Nanz & Neuner likewise found the 

 above true with plenty of good flowers 

 to meet the demand. Jacob Schulz 

 handled mostly roses, carnations and 

 plants. F. Walker S: Co. are satisfied 

 with their Christmas trade, with sup- 

 ply equal to demand. 



The weather was everything to be 

 desired. KY.
