The Weekly Florists' Review* 



December 31, 1903. 



NEW HAVEN. CONN. 



The weather for Christmas Tvas ideal 

 and the trade was all that could be ex- 

 pected. The retailers were well supplied 

 with first-elass stock, and all report the 

 best Christmas they ever had. Beauties 

 were enough for all orders and good ones, 

 too. Bi'ido.s and JIaids were equal to the 

 demand, although some were very soft 

 and lacked that crispness which is a large 

 part of the value. Carnations were in 

 great demand and better ones were never 

 seen. Prices were the best ever ralized 

 in this city. Violets were hardly callou 

 for. 



Poinsettias were in greater demand 

 than in any previous year, and the trade 

 was well stocked with them, but Christ- 

 mas daj- saw the last. Begonias sold 

 well in all sizes. Azaleas were better 

 than previous years, and sold well at 200 

 per cent iirofit. Cyclamens were not so 

 large as usual, and quite a few were 

 left over. Primulas sold well and a great 

 many were seen in pans. 



J. N. Champion Co. made a specialty 

 of large fancy baskets trimmed with rib- 

 bons and tilled with Lorraine begonias, 

 ferns, poinsettias and Pandanus Veiti'hii 

 for the center. These baskets sold read- 

 ily at from $10 to $15 each. 



Roping and wreaths were in excess of 

 the demand, and plenty of each were 

 left over. 



Christmas bells sold well and the new 

 folding bell was a great seller. The 

 chimes sold as a novelty and took the eye 

 of the public at large; still the old im- 

 mortelle bell holds its own.
