The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Decejibek 5, 1901. 



CEMCINNATL 



"* Various Notes. 



The genei'al report for Thanksgiving 

 trade is all that could be desired. Nearly 

 every one reports an increase over last 

 year and with plenty of stock to fill all 

 orders the increase would have been 

 much greater. It would almost seem 

 that Thanksgiving is going to be a rival 

 of Christmas and Easter. The prices, 

 too, ruled higher this year than ever 

 before and the public were willing to 

 pay the advance price. 



Flowers of all kinds were scarce, roses 

 especially so, and the market held up 

 firmly to prices quoted in last week's 

 notes. Carnations were in better supply 

 than any time this season, but still 

 there were not nearly enough to go 

 around. Fancy varieties brought 3 to 4 

 cents; good stock, 2 to 3 cents, and or- 

 dinary grades, li to 2 cents. 



Owing to the scarcity of stock at the 

 present time and as there is no immedi- 

 ate relief in sight, it is expected that 

 prices will hold up well from now till 

 Christmas. 



Wm. Murphy is now- cutting some fine 

 Estellc. He has a large house devoted 

 exclusively to this variety and they are 

 in good shape. The cut blooms are much 

 sought after and readily bring 3 cents. 



.T. W . Rodgers met with a pecviliar 

 accident during the past week wliich re- 

 sulted in the loss, by freezing, of nearly 

 two houses planted with .J. .Tones and 

 Gold Mine chrysanthemums. One of his 

 men left the water running and the tank 

 was soon emptied ; water in the boiler 

 went down and there was not enough 

 to heat the two upper liouses in his 

 range. 



Tom Windran left for Oklahoma Tues- 

 day on a bunting trip. 



Both Ed and Sidney JIurphy have 

 completed brick smoke stacks for their 

 plants. This is the only kind of a stack 

 io have, as once up it is there to stav. 

 Nathan Smith & Son of Adrian. Mich., 

 were again on hand with a seedling mum 

 for the committee. It was a crcaiiiy 

 white variety named Polar Queen; in- 

 curved with outer petals rellexed; fine 

 color, stem and foliage, and .a nicely 

 formed and built up flower. Looks to 

 be a good thing for late, and it's the 

 late varieties that pay. 



Visitors were: H. Beh'cns. Middle- 

 town. O. ; Lloyd Vaughan, Chicago; !Mar- 

 tin l^ciiknuf, Philadelphia. 



C. J. Oii.\if:i!. 



AuBUR.x, X. Y. — Business has been 

 satisfactorj-, showing an increase of 

 about '2.5 per cent over last year. Geo. 

 Dobbs & Son built a new carnation housi> 

 75x27 this fall, using the Garland iron 

 gutter construction. 



Toronto, Oxt.— Mr. P. ilearns rejio' ts 

 a very good year with prospects bright 

 for the coming year. He is more than 

 pleased with the Florists' Eevikw. 



Ocoxoj[owoc. Wis. — Mr. John Dupee 

 has considerably added to his private 

 place here and will soon erect a conser- 

 vatory and range of small houses. Robert 

 Lundstrom is the gardener. 



If tou want to make a valued employe 

 a Christmas present, nothing will be so 

 much appreciated, or return so much 

 value to the giver, as a copy of the 

 Florists' Manual, by Wm. Scott.
