The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Januakv 9. 1002. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



Christmas trade was good all around. 

 There was little shortage in anything 

 and most all sold out clean on flowers. 

 Considerable falling off in the call for 

 sword ferns and Lorraine begonias, but 

 good demand for palms in mediimi sizes. 



Prices averaged about the same as last 

 year, though there was more variety in 

 the price asked for carnations. Some 

 are reported to have sold at 50 cents 

 per dozen, but the stores got from 70 

 cents to $1 per dozen and $1.50 for Law- 

 sons and fancy. In violets people want 

 the Imperial, and unless Campbell are 

 extra good they are no longer in it ; 

 price, $1.50 to $2 per 100; $3 in some 

 cases. 



H. A. Jahn some time before the hol- 

 idays improved his store greatly by 

 changing his two store windows into 

 one big plate glass window, which gives 

 the whole store an up-to-date ajjpear- 

 ance. 



Chamberlin, on Purchase street, re- 

 ports first-class trade at Christmas. His 

 window is always attractive and his 

 store kept neat and trim. 



H. W. Kraber is starting to cut sweet 

 peas. He is growing them to some ex- 

 tent and they are looking fine. 



The weather is about as usual every 

 winter along the New England coast. 

 When it don't rain it snows and when it 

 don't do both (sometimes at the same 

 time) then it blows steady and hard 

 from the northwest, with intense cold. 

 So it keeps folks busy bailing water, and 

 shoveling coal, which is all healthy exer- 

 cise and helps the digestion, working 

 both wavs — on the stomach and on the 



poekctbook

DUTY ON BULBS. 



Minnesota congressmen have an- 

 nounced their intention of endeavoring 

 to have the present imi)ort duty on bulbs 

 removed. It seems that Holland is a 

 large buyer of American flour and tlie 

 Jlinnesnta millers say there is danger of 

 Holland placing a duty on floiir if wc 

 continue to tax imports of bulbs from 

 that country. It is stated that our trade 

 with Holhind amounts to $80,000,000 a 

 j'ear, while we buy of Holland but $17.- 

 000,000 a year. And of this the bulb 

 imports amount to about $300,000, from 

 which the government derives a revenue 

 of $75,000. The millers say that if nec- 

 essary they would rather pay this duty 

 themselves than lose the good will of 

 Holland. 



Bloomington, III. — Landscape gar- 

 dening and floriculture in connection 

 with rural homes is to be taught at the 

 State Normal University. New ideas 

 in floral adornment for the homo and 

 the school will be instilled into the 

 minds of the pupils, together with an 

 elementary knowledge of plant life and 

 soil influences. A practical demonstra- 

 tion is to be made of the science of 

 propagation and horticulture under the 

 direction of the State Board of Educa- 

 tion. 



Albany, N. Y.- — The Fleischman Floral 

 Company of New York city was incorpo- 

 rated Dec. 28 with a capital of $300,000, 

 to deal in flowers and plants. The di- 

 rectors are: Joseph Fleischman, Solomon 

 Anderson, Albert 'Van Prag and Charles 

 Kaufman, of New York citj', and Edward 

 Kaufman of Brooklyn.
