(First on introduction of 1901, at Kansas City) is certainly proving our claims for it and consequently 

 a money malier for the grower. It commands the highest price. Our stocli is large and in grand 

 shape. No order is too large or too small for us to fill. 05.00 per 100 ; $40 OO per lOOO.

Christmas Trade. 



Chrislmas trade was the lieaviest by 

 100 per cent, is what they all say, and 

 judging from the looks of the stores 

 after the sales were over we have no 

 doubt of the truth of the statements. 



Following is all we could gather from 

 the stores at the time of our call for 

 notes: Ernst Nitshe — "Oh, can't you 

 sec that I am busy? Plants? Not half 

 enough; could sell more cut ilowers; 

 greens are selling well; several small 

 ■decorations; here, take this cigar and 

 go; coine when I'm not so busy." Otto 

 Lang — "'Plants scarce; shall not have 

 enough cut flowers; any oM thing in 

 (lowers sells today; greens sell well; 

 gcod demand for flower baskets and 

 bo.xes of flowers; mistletoe no good; 

 boys selling it all over the streets." The 

 Texas Seed & Floral Co. reported busi- 

 ness as double tluit of last year; bloom- 

 ing plants scarce; demand for greens 

 good and everything will be sold out 

 hrng before closing time. Mrs. llolt- 

 kamp had a rush and could have sold 

 many more plants could she have gotten 

 tliem; demand for cut flowers was much 

 pver the supply; she had quite a lot of 

 funeral work also. By the way. her 

 •daughter has the reputation of being one 

 ■of the best designers in the city. The 

 Haskell Ave. Floral Co. did a rushing 

 business in the wholesale line and had 

 ■everything in sight cut, packed and off 

 their hands before 10 o'clock Christmas 

 morning. "Oh I"' says Beach, "1 am glad 

 I am not in the retail business today." 



The weather was delightful; 70 de- 

 rgrees of warmth and everyone out on 

 parade- — e.xeept the florists.

Ttie Christmas Trade. 



Christmas trade was all thai could be 

 ■desired, except perhai)S the impossibility 

 to fill all orders. Red carnations were 

 in i:he usual hea\'y demand, selling at 

 from 75 cents to $2 per dozen. Koscs, 

 outside of American Beauties, sold from 

 $1.50 to .$3. Violets were more abun- 

 dant than usual, No. 1 commanding $3 

 per hundred ; inferior $2. Romans were 

 plenty, selling at 50 cents a dozen. 



Cyclamen plants w-ere in good de- 

 mand, bringing 50 cents to $2.50 each. 

 Christmas peppers came in for their 

 share at $1.50. Azaleas, except white, 

 sold well, and Begonia Gloire de Lor- 

 raine made up in pans went like hot 

 cakes, although the supply was equal 

 to the demand, owing to the fact that 

 a great many know its uselcssness as a 

 house plant. 



Carnations other than red sold well 

 also, Lawson bringing $1.50; Prosper- 

 ity $3. On the whole the florists reaped 

 a good harvest, as is evidenced by the 

 "broad smiles worn by them. When thev 

 •open their mouths to laugh their heads 

 ■are half oflT. O.

 grower, a free and continuous bloomer, and it is sure to thrive wherever grown.
