The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



DECEMBER 2S, 1899. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



Christmas trade here was the best 

 knowa in years and everything sold at 

 good prices. Carnations retailed at 75 

 cents to $1.50; roses, $1.50 up; violets 

 also went well at a fancy price. The 

 growers here got their share of the 

 pudding in .selling carnations at $4 to 

 $6; roses. $8 and upwards; violets, 

 $1.50 to $2. 



Blooming plants sold well. Azalea 

 and cyclamen took the lead at good 

 prices. The market florists felt a lit- 

 tle blue on Saturday morning, as it 

 was raining, but by evening were a 

 happy lot. each one having had his 

 share of the excellent trade. Taking 

 the trade in general, they all had a 

 "merry Christmas" and are looking for 

 a "happy New Year." FRED. 



TROUBLE AHEAD. 



Editor Florists' Review: Kindly ad- 

 vise as to who is responsible for" that 

 (?) after the word "noble" in your late 

 Buffalo notes. Is it the Buffalo corre- 

 spondent, the editor, or the printer? 

 We can forgive the printer much, the 

 editor more, but if after honoring a 

 poor worm like W. S. of Buffalo with 

 all the ofBces within our gift — yea, 

 even going beyond the limitations of 

 sex and making him board of lady 

 managers— he is going to insert such 

 offensive punctuation marks when 

 they are least deserved, we wish to 

 know it right now. We will attend to 

 his case in Februarv,

 Tribune of December 20 appears a 

 three-column description of the green-
