The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



We have had a change in the weather 

 the past week, the glass going down be- 

 low freezing point at night. This, no 

 doubt, will have a shortening effect up- 

 on stock for Thanksgiving and is jilso 

 the cause of the slight improvement in 

 business. 



The only flower that was overplentiful 

 last week was the "mum" and a great 

 many of them went to waste, especi- 

 ally the poor ones. 



Roses were not as plentiful as they 

 have been yet they sold very cheap- 

 Some very fine >U-;k of ^faids and 

 Brides is.cominj; in »liiMi -rlK at fnmi 

 .$1 to $5 per 100, a. : ,n.|iirj l.i l In 1, looms 

 and stems. Meteni-. Cat.-. I'cilcs and 

 W,oottons run about the same. 



Carnations are in good demand and 

 very few are left unsold. The quality is 

 good and they bring from $1 to $2. .50 per 

 100. Violets are selling well and good 

 Californias are going at 50 cents per 

 100, with southern at 25 cents. Romans, 

 ]iaper whites and valley aic imw lia\ 

 ing a steady call at 3 and I -jiiI-, W «• 

 are having some very tinr -niilax in tlii- 

 market now; very long sirin;js wliich 

 sell at 12 J cents per string. All otluT 

 greens are selling well. 



Notes. 



Our chrysanthemum show was a suc- 

 cess from both an exhibition and finan- 

 cial standpoint, and there will be no 

 need to call on the guarantee fund. We 

 had a fine exhibition 'of cut blooms, in 

 fact better than in former years when 

 we had larger shows. 



Chairman Meinhardt reports that ev- 

 erything was staged on time and that 

 all the judges did their pa.rts well, and 

 he wishes to thank the gentlemen for 

 rendering him such valuable assistance 

 during the show.
