The JMarkeu 



Eoses, carnutioiis aua mums are get- 

 ting scarcer, and if tlie cuts keep get 

 ting ^lighter there will be a decided 

 shortage for the Christmas demand, and 

 prices will probably reach .$8, $12 and 

 $15 for roses and $3, $4, $6 and $8 f(ir 

 carnations. A few mums will be on 

 hand, but no prices are quoted on them. 

 All of our rose growers are off crop, au'l 

 there will not be any change for the 

 better until about January 15. The car- 

 nation growers are complaining bitterly 

 about the small cut so far this season and 

 unless the plants do much better than 

 those of last season the profit on the 

 year's work will be very small. 



Various Items. 



The weather up to Saturday was fine; 

 then a thaw with rain set in, which 

 made it very disagreeable, and on Sun- 

 day it was snowing, with a high wind 

 and the temperature about 20 degrees 

 above. 



The west side florists have been very 

 Inisy the past week, with funeral orders, 

 the Ehrbar Floral Co. having one seven- 

 foot broken column that required four 

 men to handle. This was sent to tli,> 

 funeral of one of our patrolmeu, with 

 many other fine pieces. C. B. Wilhelniy 

 sent out many pieces last week, and was 

 very busy. H. Piggott was too busy to 

 stop and tell how the new store was do- 

 ing. 



C. B. Wilhelmy has cut most of Ir- 

 mums ana says he is very sorry to ha\e 

 them so near finished. E.

Trade has fallen off a little, which 

 is generally the way in this city before 

 the Christmas rush begins. If it were 

 not for the debutantes there would have 

 been a greater slump in the cut flower 

 market. At the reception for Miss Fitch, 

 bouquets of orchids, American Beauties 

 and violets were presented. The draw- 

 ing rooms were bowers of Bride and 

 Bridesmaid roses, maidenhair ferns, 

 being used for a backgrouna. Miss Chit- 

 tenden was also presented with bouquets 

 of roses and violets in profusion and the 

 rooms decorated with palms and cut 

 flowers. 



Holly and Christmas greens have made 

 their appearance in great quantities and 

 Christmas bells and chimes are seen in 

 all the windows. 



You lose 



a cent, the price of a postal, if 

 the samples we send you do 

 not prove that RIGHT BIB- 

 BOITS are better in quality and lower in price than the 

 ribbons you are now using. Being' better in quality 

 and cheaper, you will save m^ny cent^, (yes. dollars 

 as wel' ) and improve the appearance of your flowers. 

 No other mill has better facilities for manufacturinsr 

 the 1 ight kind of ribbons for Florists to n se. Bibbons 

 are woven and colirs dyed specially to match, and the 

 result is a trifle advance over the usual kind. 

 Write us for samples of Holly, the Violet shades, the 

 Foliage blends; and lemeniber, when buying BIGHT 

 BIBB014S you save all between profits,

Violets seem to be the only cut flower 

 which exceeds the demand. Eoses keep 

 up to the demand, although red ones are 

 being held back as much as possible. 

 Carnations are the scarcest cut flower in 

 the market and it is a continuous hustle 

 to get enough to fill orders, 



A few sweet peas have been sold but 

 the people of this city do not take 

 kindly to sweet peas untH March or 

 April. 



Most all the retailers have been to 

 New York and New Jersey buying vip 

 large stocks of cyclamen, Lorraine be- 

 gonias and azaleas, as they expect tliis 

 vear to be a record breaker. S. H, W.
