^B■TC^C^K^V W C^ We are growing the finest Russells arriving in this 

 ■^^'^^^^^^»^^'^' market. All visitors to the greenhouses in this district 

 say that our Russells are the best to be found. 



We cut our flowers tight in the bud, as the majority of our trade is shipping. Flowers that 



are sold mostly to the city trade are allowed to open more than for the shipping trade. 



We have the regular varieties of Roses in large quantities, receiving them direct from the green- 

 houses within a few hours of being cut, which enables us to fill all orders with strictly fresh stock. 

 This is the great advantage of buying direct of the grower.

Tlie number of large weddings this 

 year has been greater than that of any 

 other year and decorative work has been 

 heavy. October was an excellent month 

 both for wholesalers and retailers. The 

 stock getierally was in good condition and 

 the demand larger than that of the same 

 month of any previous year. 



Various Notes. 



The Doswell Floral Co. has the land- 

 scape work on Harrison Hill boulevard. 

 The planting will be done on an elaborate 



scale. 



A communication has been received in 

 this city to the effect that no Christmas 

 greens from New England must be used 

 in Indiana this year. The order is by 

 F. N. Wallace, the state entomologist, 

 who has notified the railroad companies 

 of the quarantine in Indiana, an a(^tion 

 taken on account of the gypsy and brown- 

 tail moths carried in New England Christ- 

 mas trees, laurel and all kinds of greetis, 

 With the exception of mistletoe. Michi- 

 gan, "Wisconsin and other western states 

 are free from the moths. The quarantine

should not make prices higher, Mr. Wal- 

 lace states. 



An elaborate decoration was made last 

 week at the Country Club by the Flick 

 Floral Co. This concern also had a 

 handsome casket cover of Shawyer roses 

 for a prominent funeral last week, and 

 reports trade almost as brisk as at 

 Thanksgiving. R. F. 



I THANK The Review for good results.

The Market. 



The bright, warm weather has 

 brought on chrysanthemums rapidly, 

 and, as everyone who has glass grows 

 chrysanthemums, other items have to 

 suffer. Last week one could buy Beau- 

 ties, other roses and lilies at one's own 

 price. The street boys were a godsend
