The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Dkce.mber 10. 1901. 



CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



Demand seems to be fair only and 

 we are evidently having the usual calm 

 that precedes the storm. The talk is all 

 about what we shall Iiave and what we 

 shall not have for Christmas. Christ- 

 mas prices will go into effect soon after 

 this issue reaches our readers and sev- 

 ,eral Christmas price-lists will be found 

 in our advertising columns. 



There is some little variety of opinion 

 as to the outlook for Christmas supply. 

 The weather is still an important fac- 

 ■ tor. Last Friday the liifj; drop in temper- 

 ature took place and the bitter cold has 

 continued with only slight moderation. 

 This condition has been tempered some- 

 what by an occasional bit of sunshine, 

 but it is hard to say whether one has 

 offset the other. On most of the roofs 

 there is still a, film of ice due to the 

 severe freezing of the rain and slush 

 on them when tlie tremendous fall of 

 temperature came. 



The general opinion seems to be, how- 

 ever, that unless present conditions 

 change for the worse the supply will 

 be adequate to fill fairly well all "orders 

 except on red roses and tint class violets, 

 with probably some shortage in carna- 

 tions. Unless of cotirse the demand 

 should go far ahead of any previous 

 Christmas. 



At present local retailers seem to be 

 buying only for pressing immediate 

 needs and taking just as few chances as 

 possible. Prices are at the top notch 

 of last week's quotations. 



One very unpleasant feature of the 

 present cold snap has been the freezing 

 of quite a few consignments while on 

 the way to market. If the present cold 

 weatlicr continues the very greatest care 

 should be taken to sec ihat the stock 

 arrives safely. And where the amotlnt 

 is considerable it would pay to send a 

 man with the shipment to make sure 

 the bo.\es are not left standing for hours 

 on an open platform or otherwise ex- 

 posed to injury. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. sent out .iOO long 

 Beauties in one order a few days ago. 



Various Items. 



There seems to be a sullicienc}' of 

 bouquet green to meet demands but there 

 is a marked shortage in good holly. 

 There was not loo much anyway and the 

 shortage has been aggravated by some 

 little being frozen in transit during the 

 past week. We are told that holly will 

 recover all right from a i^evere freezing 

 if the thawing is gradually done, but if 

 thawed suddenly it will later turn black. 



There is lots of good mistletoe in 

 the market, also plenty of needle pines, 

 palm crowns, sabal palm leaves, etc., 

 and the winter berry is being received 

 in large quantities. A vase of leuco- 

 thoe sprays interspersed with twigs of 

 the winter berry we noted at McKellar 

 & Wintersohn's suggested that this 

 wotild make a very good substitute for 

 holly in case the latter was unavailable. 



The chry.-'antheraums exhibited at. the 

 last meeting of the Florists' Club by 

 Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich., 

 were the variety Superba. They have 

 found this the best late pink variety. 



Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Souster, Elgin, 

 111., were visitors last Monday. 



There was no bowling last Tuesday 

 night and there will be no more games 

 till the first Tuesday in .January.
